This is simply astounding.

I have met the Cowboy version of Gatom. Truly remarkable.

An Atlanta Falcons fan who I've "discussed" football with on their site.

He believes Vick is the greatest QB in the game right now. And he believes if you take any QB in NFL history from their rookie year until the age of 25 and compare them to Vick.....that Vick measures out as the best.

The best part is, his grammar rivals leotis's. Thats what I was referring to.

Someone suggested reading the posts while imagining a German accent.

I have also found that I can amuse myself by reading the posts while imagining the French Taunter.

If I ever found myself rooting for the Skins, I'd rip off my own leg off and kick my own arse.

What about if we needed a Commanders victory in week 17 to secure Home Field Advantage?

I'd just stick my head in an oven or pretend it never happened, like the JFK assassination.

[Adam] Archuleta is just a guy. Brandon Lloyd is just a guy, not a difference-maker.

Al Saunders will put in a complete new offense and, if you look where it's been installed at new places, it takes two years for it to fire up.

he very well could be right about this. there's no guarantee that our offense will come together and be familiar enough with the new scheme by the time the season starts. but that's a risk that gibbs was willing to take. we could very well suck bad this year on offense. but then again, if everything comes together and the offense works, we could be one of the best offenses in the league. it's gonna be either all or nothing for us. (hopefully all :))

nothing in football is guaranteed so i take everything with a grain of salt.

Yeah, that comment made me wonder exactly who that scout/coach was. The point of Street & Smith using a coach or scouts opinion was to get detail and objectivity on each team. You don't sound very objective by saying a team, who beat another playoff team and played competitively aganist the conference representative in the superbowl, really wasn't a playoff team at all.

His opinion remains valid because of his position, yet they could've found a more objective scout/coach IMO.

I think the comment about them not being a playoff team was shared by many observers. Including fans with no axe to grind, from my experience.
No doubt they made the playoffs but just watching them during the season they never seemed like a team talented enough to be in the playoffs. Winning ugly might be a more descriptive term.

If the Cowboys would have not given that 1st game away to the RedStinks...they would not have even made the playoffs!

And...this forum would not have been raided by these RedStink roaches...they would still be under some rock...waiting...waiting...waiting...for Art to turn the lights out, so that he can sooth them with a little food...to survive until "next year"! :lmao:

I'm just joking. IMO, there's no way to predict who's going to be 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or maybe even 4th.

With that, the Skins are projected to have the second oldest starting defensive roster. With age, you're more likely to get injured and the Skins lack depth pretty much everywhere on defense. Not to mention that there was a study a few years ago on NFL injuries that found that defensive players are twice as likely to get injured as offensive players.

Rich, I also find the Commanders' experiment (because that is what it is) to build a team in today's NFL via free agency interesting. It'll be a neat trick if it works. Your depth discussion also points out the main weakness of the approach.

Last year one of the significant weaknesses of the Cowboys was a lack of depth. That weakness was exposed by injuries and made a huge difference in the season outcome. I would also submit that both the Eagles and the Giants suffered similar fates due to injuries and lack of depth to varying degrees.

The team that seemed to suffer least in the NFCE to this was the Commanders. I believe the Commanders had fewer players on the DL than the rest of the division, and those players that went on came off quicker with a milder set of injuries. Unless the skins' have discovered a training regimen that magically reduces injuries, that pattern is not likely to repeat itself this season.

That doesn't make it any more valid. The Giants get shut out in the first round, no one says they didn't deserve to be a playoff team. The Skins play two competitive games and they should've never been there?
