Its over...Commanders

I wouldnt go that far yet. Skins have absolutely blown away my, and everybody else's expectations, especially after that terrible 1st game loss to the giants. As it stands now, we're 4-1, with the next 3 games vs. STL, CLE, and DET. 7-1 is a real possibility.

You're playing with heart right now. If Campbell keeps not turning over the ball, you should feel confident. Right now, your guys want it more than the other teams. Philly looked flat. You took their heart.

I look at it like this.... the first 8 games are one season and the second 8 are another season its too early to say...

Yeah I think we have seen this before... Bus Driver does well.. then you ask him to make a few throws to win the game and voila..... a 5 INT game in the playoffs :laugh2:

Skins are good, but more importantly, they play great defense.

I'd say that happened today

Down 14-0, JC had to make plays to get the team back in the game

A few nice runs and a few good throws and it was all Commanders from that point forward

 

[CrazyCowboy]

the deadskins are looking good--give them their props.

 

[RS12]

the fact that have already played their division road games, and won two of three only five weeks in. Schedule should be favorable, now they have to void big injuries to make the playoffs. Hate to admit it but they are playing well, particularly on defense.

Sounds good to me, but I am worried about the "trap" game and that could easily be the Rams, Browns, or Lions coming up. If Norv was still our coach I'd be a bit more worried, but Zorn has these guys playing hard and they have confidence so hopefully it won't happen.

Who knows..maybe the Skins will be back in Texas Stadium in Dec.....but Fedex Field sounds better.

So much Commanders love in this thread. Lets not forget who we are talking about.

They will find a way to fumble away the season. I have no doubts about it.

The thing about the Commanders is that their wins have been by five points, seven points, two points and six points. They're 4-0 in games decided by a touchdown or less. That's fine and dandy, but it's difficult to keep that up over the course of the season. Unless they show the ability to start beating teams by more than a few points, some of those close games most likely will start going the other way and end up being losses.

The sad thing about this is that we've fumbled away the last 2 seasons when we had EVERYTHING in our laps.

Really-let's not call out other teams' weaknesses et al when we have a HUGE chip on OUR shoulders.:bang2:

Norv's not the coach anymore.

check my post history....i live in DC area....i hanve consistently said the skins will start winning games when they start scoring 21 points....why? Because of there defense! They have had no Shawn Springs and Jason Taylor....Sean Taylor has passed.....yet they STILL know how to defend. They do not let mediocre players (like the WRs for Philly) have career days! All we have is a bunch of guys that like to "pose" or "flex" after they make THEIR ONE PLAY FOR THE DAY

I said it all offseason...our team will not take the next step until our defense becomes dominant. And thus far it does not look like it will happen. So be satisfied with making the playoffs and exiting quickly.

What bothers me so much about this is the fact that we have locked so many of these players on defense into expensive long term deals....and the Canty camp wants us to do the same thing....if the defense plays like this the rest of the year....either Chris Canty or Marcus Spears will have to be let go.....we cannot pay both of these bums big money to keep them. I know many of you will say get rid of them both....but Tank and Canty are free agents...and Spears will only have one year remaining....so we need some warm bodies. But Jerry cannot continue to extend these guys....he extended Roy, he extended Bradie....he extended Hamlin...he extended Newman..he extended Ratliff...he gave big free agent money to Henry, he is going to have to extend Ware...he is going to have to decide whether or not he wants to extend Burnett....he spent 1st round picks on Carpenter, Spencer and Jenkins...none of which start or get signficant playing time. So the brutal truth is he has a lot of money tied up in a lot of average players(except for Ratliff, and Ware is going to have to be MORE dominant if he wants to be the highest paid defensive player in the NFL, which is where I think this is headed).

Go look at the Skins depth chart on defense...who would we want other than Landry and Fletcher....YET THEY GET IT DONE. And all we get is a line of guys who want Jerry's millions....because the fans put them in the Pro Bowl!

.....keep that post count low.

Skins have no depth and that will tell later in the season.
