All that matters now is winning two games in five days vs Washington and Oakland. I think both games are must wins, and I think our guys need to win comfortably both times. We need good stuff to happen offensively. We need to score some points and move the ball consistently. We need the running game to be a legit threat. They can gain some real confidence as a team by winning and controlling these two home games vs poor teams.
Ken Hamlin is out 2-4 weeks, IMO that isnt such a bad thing. I hope they give Alan Ball a shot at FS. We might all be pleasantly surprised. Colombo is gone, thats bad, but we now all get to see what we have in Doug Free. He didnt play great yesterday, but of the 5 OL's out there, he was hardly the worst. He played admirably and with all the reps in practice, he might also surprise us.
The Skins are coming off by far their best game of the year. I dont expect us to win by 4 tds, but there is no excuse for not learning from their tape vs Denver and seeing that they are gonna try and come out and run run run, and probably try to run some more. Cooley isnt here, he's their best receiving option. We have good CB's so we should be able to cover their WR's. No excuse for our 7-8 guys up front to not focus on stuffing the run and putting Washington into long yardage situations.
Oakland is pathetic. They have absolutely no offense to speak of. Their passing game might be one of the worst in league history. Jemarcus Russell was benched again yesterday apparently. If we dont run them off the field at home, on national TV, something is seriously wrong.
After losing the way we did at Green Bay, there's just zero excuse for our guys to not be really fired up and 100% focused on these two extremely winnable games. The season isnt "over" if we lose one of these games, though I do believe it paints an obvious picture of whats ahead if we do blow one of them.
