The Cowboys called, your fan membership card is almost ready. They were wondering if your middle name is spelled "Douchebag" or "Douche-bag". Please get back to them right away!

The offense has score zero points and somehow the defense is always an issue. :lol:

At least with that you have hope that, eventually, things might work out in the "end". :)

It is. It has been unorganized and inefficient ever since Haslett took over.

Awe no faith. I lost a dollar to my bro last week and he says he is a Skins fan. I never give up!




Your in denial brother. This franchise is in serious trouble and it patently shows this season. Be prepared for disappointment over the next couple years. It is of no fault of the franchise but rather of the outside powers they have no control over.


The season is a game and a half old :roll:


And you honestly believe this franchise can overcome 0-2? I believed just as much as the next redskin fan, but these past two games are not tough loses, they are embarrassing loses.

Another bright side: I've been doing 50 push-ups every time we punt. I'm friggin' PUMPED, baby!!!

Downside, my arms are so tired I couldn't block a hook from my 6 year old.

To my view, they're equally awful. You're correct; the offense is just offensive.

However, the defense is equally bad. We've now just let James Jones have the best day of his career (by halftime he hit that), and Aaron Rodger's best first half passing ever just happened. And James Starks is on track to break that 44 straight game streak of no 100 yard rushers.

Even teams with absolutely horrific offenses (i.e., Cleveland) don't get smoked this badly.

As they said... it's a point of emphasis by the league this year.

I haven't seen a defense in this league that can endure an entire half of the field due to offensive ineptitude. The defense has it's issues, I realize that. But it seems to be unfairly held to a higher standard than the offense.

This. 0-7 on 3rd down puts unbearable pressure on most defenses... mistakes have been made... but this would look very different with a little help from the O.

We should go for it on 4th from here on out. Can't punt worth a damn and don't have a FG kicker.

And, Fred Davis, watch Jermichael Finnley to see what a TE looks like.

They started the season 3-6 last year and won the Division

2 games is 1/8 of the season
