The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

the way i see it... forget all the games in the past. it is how we play now. if we get to 11-5 playing great football down the stretch, nobody will care how you got to 5-3. remember 2 years ago, we started the season 5-6 playing ugly football. we strung together 5 in a row and people were picking us as the darkhorse to go to the superbowl. right now, at least we put ourselves in a spot that if we start playing good football, we have a chance to get to 12-4 or 11-5. i'll take that over us being 3-5 right now, and a good run makes us just 8-8 and all we would have to talk about, with our season is over, is how we finished strong. if i was a redskin coach/player/fan right now, i would try to keep things in perspective and hope for the following...

1) this week... beat the eagles (home field, 3 point favorites, get it done)... 6-3

2) split the following 2 road games (at dallas, at tampa)... 7-4

3) beat both buffalo and chicago at home. (we will be favored in both. vs. bills -7, vs. bears -3)... 9-4

4) split the road games vs. giants and vikings (may even be favored vs. vikings)... 10-5

5) come home to finish the season against the cowboys with the outcome determining 10-6 or 11-5.

i don't think this is too much to ask for... win the games we'll be favored in... eagles, bills, bears, vikings... and win 1 we are not... cowboys, bucs, giants... do that, and we have our record 10-5 into the dallas game. and everyone forgetting the "ugly" 5-3 start.

Hey I'm with you 100%

wow, my thread here didn't have much legs as it only got 1 response. i guess i have to keep my common sense insights to myself. )

I like your plan and sign on now!

This is the most imprtant game of the year, as Joe Gibbs has probably said about 200 times.

And he's right. Does this team have a winning record? Yes? Is that a bad thing?
