Commanders about to face reality

[Hiero]

2nd half of their schedule isactually tough. They will finally start playing more division games, and start playing real teams that will give them a fight, not a 49ers team ravaged by injuries starting a first year qb.

2 games vs the giants, 2 games vs the eagles, 1 game for us to get revenge. Bucs will beat them. Chargers will beat them, Raiders can easily beat them. Rams will have Bulger back by then, and have a shot to beat them, only easy team left is the cardinals. It's about damn time.

The Commanders have really surprised me. They are not a bad team.

I think we'll be fighting them for a playoff spot all the way to the end.

 

[NorTex]

You're right about the tough schedule, but all NFC East teams face a tough schedule because our division is so good.

I actually believe that the Skins are the 2nd best team in the East, after the Cowboys.

They ahve definitely surprised me. I thought they got hosed on the Coles Moss deal when in reality it was the other way around. Their team still has a lot to go before they are in the playoff race. I need to see them beat a division rival convincingly (not luck out in the last second). I will say this though, gibbs has outcoached parcells this year. They are about to face the reality of tough teams we have already played. I dont see them in hte playoff race 4 weeks from now.

I agree a reality check is needed and they'll be exposed for fraud, impersonating an NFL team.

I wouldnt go that far id make it "Impersonating a playoff contender"

Right now the only reality they need to face is that they are a much improved team and are winning ball games were the Cowboys are letting winnable games slip through their fingers.

 

[Longboysfan]

They could easily win 5 more games this year with that schedule.
But...
Will Brunell survive that long if their O line gets him sacked.

Don't hate. The Skins are a good team. They know how to go for the throat.

Don't hate them for doing what they're supposed to do.

They're beating teams and beating them good. More than we can say about our games.

 

[dmq]

There is a very real possibility that Philly could be last in the division this year. THey looked horrible on offense yesterday. Mcnabb is just not getting it done with that injury.

i agree about the throat part, but they arent going to luckout with a deep play or two every game. They WILL face reality book it mark my words whatever but its coming.

Would be a nice turn of events. Then westbrook would leave, and TO would be their only salvation.

Teams have been covering the deep play. That's why Portis is killing everyone. Then teams move up to try and stop Portis, and Moss is out the door and over the top.

We don't have those weapons. The C-hoks shut our O down.

 

[SacredStar]

Commanders are a good team and they have an offensive scheme which lets Brunell light it up, unlike Dallas' conservative play.

Their defense speaks for itself. They are a solid team right now, I hope they falter, but right now, they are playing good ball.

I just hope they mess up I hate the skins

killing everyone? he didnt have his first td until he played a completely ravaged team that was already real bad before the injuries.

I call BS

They beat the 49ers by a huge margin, fine.

They beat the Bears by what 2, us by 1 and the Seahawks by 3. Remind me again how they are beating teams "good"?

I agree the Skins are playing like they have nothing to lose... we are playing like we don't want to mess up and lose... that's the difference between us, and the rest of the division this year. While they have all found ways to WIN ganes, we have begun to find ways to LOSE them, that's the disturbing part.

Yep, that's right...And like you said they beat us by one, we beat the Giants by 3, and the Seahawks beat us by 3...

See, they are winning those games and we are loosing those games.

They are playing with confidence.

We appear to be playing exactly the opposite.

I never would have thought that a Joe Gibbs coached team would have more fortitude than a Bill Parcells one, but it certainly is starting to look that way.
