Unless we win 45-0 vs cards, I'm not impressed

[Dance04]

Sad but True. If our defense is as good as we think it is (which I personally think it is) they will not allow Tim Rattay and Edge to score on us

And unless our "potent" Offense embarasses that Cards defense, I'm not impressed.

Really, I'm gonna say it now. If we win in a grind it out, chew up yards slowly, control the clock, win by 7 or less kind of game I will not be impressed. What does this prove? That we have a hard time putting away a cards team that just lost to father time, who had what, like 4 days with the offense? its sad too because if we do win in this fashion half the board is gonna start Ranting OMFG WERE BACK! Nope.

looking at it again tho, our O-line is seriously banged up, so i can give a little leeway there. Regardless, Unless it is a total blowout (bigger then the lions game) I refuse to be sold on this team yet.

Santana, get your ass in gear and catch the ball, and be a number one reciever.

Clinton, I want 100 yards damnit

Ladell, can i please see a YPC over 3.5? thanks

Campbell, how about 300 yards passing please, but keep up the awesome work

STEP UP, you are letting your Defense down!

Does anyone here share my sentiments?

[Jofizz]

I'll take a W. Don't care what it looks like.

Stats mean nothing when it's all said and done.

[skinsfan07]

we will hang at least 35 on them. Guarantee it.

35-6 is my prediction. They won't score.

[Bacon]

Who cares how much we win by or how we do it? By your logic, the Packers should be beating themselves up for just barely edging us out.

We're going to grind the Cardinals into the dust though. Trust me, I'm one of the few here at ES that predicted a Redskins loss today, and I'm even more confident about the Cards game.

I don't think your are understanding my point. What Im trying to say is, if we barely beat the cards, all it does is prove to me we are an average team at best, and won't make the paloffs. However some on here will take it as omg! 12-4! we are the best team in the NFC!! Which wont be the case

If that were true, then Dallas is also mediocre at best for just barely edging out the Bills by the metal of Michael Irvin's special switchblade. (that may be true, actually :laugh: )

Anyway, The Lions win didn't get me too pumped up, and this GB loss isn't really all that frustrating to me. Guess I don't fit in around here. ;)

[SkinsTillIDie]

Well, good thing it isn't the jobs of the coaches and players to impress you

[shhrz]

Dont underestimate the Cards with the Edge, Fitzgeraled,and especially if Kurt warner is playing. At 3-3, theyre not that far behind the skins. If warner plays, it will be a MUCH tougher game than the detroit game considering we dont even have an offensive line. in fact, we shouldnt expect more that 14 points from the offense and IF the redskins are gonna win, defense needs to score some points.

[voicekiller]

why is it their job to impress you in the first place? And they do not care whether you are impressed or not...that is certain...you are a fan as we all are, nothing more. if you are at all.

[shhrz]

actually, since we all are fans, in one way or another we have spent money on this team(whether going to the game or buying jerseys or whatever). That's what has made this team the richest franchise in the league. So in a way, they do owe the fans and they have to impress them. BUT...the only way they can impress us the fans is by winning. A win is a win and a loss is a loss. our defense played their best game of the year, but the team lost, so it doest impress us(or at least me) BECAUSE we lost.

[Burgold]

With potentially one starting lineman in the game, two if you count Kendall who arrived the last week of training camp. I'm looking at a hard fought game. Basically, it's our seconds against their firsts and it's a battle of survival until we start getting healthier. I think expecting a blowout is highly unrealistic. A great team would struggle playing 3 backups on the o-line and in some spots we're playing backups to the backups.

[SkinsNumberOne]

You know, they need to beat the Cards regardless of the score. And regardless of the score, as long as they win, I won't conclude a whole lot.

It's the week after next where we'll have another opportunity for a benchmark. Today's game stung - it was a good benchmark game, and we came up really short on O. Way too many mistakes (drops and turnovers).

If the D can play as well as they did against a MUCH better O (Pats, with great balance and great OL), that will be awesome. If the O can fix their mistakes, that will be a fun game.

[FrFan]

I personnally don't care much about the Cards game, I want Dallas.

:dallasuck

[pez]

Right now I would be happy to escape with a win.. Our Offensive line right now has been decimated and wouldn't surprise me if I started seeing some of our defensive lineman have to play "iron man" football

[CallMeGreen]

A win vs. the Cards in any form would be welcome. It really doesn't mean much to stomp a team one week if you lose the following week. And don't overlook the Cards despite the question marks at QB. They're better than you think.

We're still on course for a decent season. In order to maintain that however, we need to beat the Cards this week and the Jets in three weeks. A loss against NE in between is a foregone conclusion.

[One Shot]

Good luck with that, man. Arizona's D isn't too bad. They won't give up 45 points to our offense, not now.

[Thoth]

The best defense on Earth will get owned if it is on the field all day--due to fatigue.


The defense is dependent on the offense for this reason.

Moreover, a blowout can often have late-game garbage scores by the losing team.

[Smurf85]

I expect them to score one TD, but not on our defense. I'm guessing our offense will give up another TD.:doh:

[ST+LL=Area51]

"45-0 Win"="7-6 Win"

No matter how you slice it a W is a W.

[Smurf85]

Good luck with that, man. Arizona's D isn't too bad. They won't give up 45 points to our offense, not now.

The Panthers put up 25 points on them yesterday and that was with Testaverde. So why can't we put up 45?:whoknows:

[RFK Lives]

I would be happy getting a comfortable lead and then resting everybody we could and still win the game.

At that point, I don't care if we win by 30 or 2 points. If we can get up early and give our banged up folks some rest before heading up to New England, than that's a big win.

That being said, you never know what is going to happen in this league week to week. I remember some punk named Clint Longley that didn't have any more skill than a Tim Rattay.

[Caliredskinsfan]

The Panthers put up 25 points on them yesterday and that was with Testaverde. So why can't we put up 45?:whoknows:

Let's see. Hmmm, we have an injured O line, recievers who cannot get open and who drop passes and a running back who has a fumbling problem.... 25 points possible, 45 points... hell no. Plus, with our stingy defense, we don't have to put up 45 points. Think about it, for two weeks straight we faced #1 offenses and held them to 13 points ( Detroit 3 and GB 10). With defense like that, we don't need that many points. With the Pats, that's another story but I think our defense can hold them in check. In other words, a win will always impress me, because some wins are very dirty.

HTTR!

[Chick_in_B&G]

I share most of your sediments, actually, but not to a 45-0 extreme. I'm feeling good about this game and I like the vibe from the locker room. The players seem ready to put this loss behind them and I am too.

[monkforhall]

"45-0 Win"="7-6 Win"

No matter how you slice it a W is a W.

I don't agree with that at all. If we only score 7 points then we have some very serious problems on offense. 45-0 you build confidence, your team is clicking. 7-6 and things do not look good. We need to keep improving if we want to be a playoff team.

[Isifhan]

However some on here will take it as omg! 12-4! we are the best team in the NFC!! Which wont be the case

Because that's what people were saying when we went to overtime with the Dolphins? We don't know if we're an average team or a good potentially very good team yet, that's the problem. We dominated the Lions and then we beat ourselves in the Giants and Packers games. If we can be consistent and not beat ourselves we have a legit chance at going far into the playoffs. All of that is predicated on injuries though. If we loose Rabach or Wade/Heyer for a signficant length of time it's going to be a long season.

[illone]

Who really cares if you are impressed or not?

:rolleyes:

This definitely should not be a thread.

[RammsteinSkins]

Does anyone here share my sentiments?I agree but...i would be happy if we won 44-0 :silly: J/K

[Laxpunk2006]

I could really care less if we win by 100 points or 1. A win is a win, and gets us one step closer to playoffs. The cards have played well this year, so I hope our team doesn't take them lightly.

[CGSKINS]

Dont underestimate the Cards with the Edge, Fitzgeraled,and especially if Kurt warner is playing. At 3-3, theyre not that far behind the skins. If warner plays, it will be a MUCH tougher game than the detroit game considering we dont even have an offensive line. in fact, we shouldnt expect more that 14 points from the offense and IF the redskins are gonna win, defense needs to score some points. Kurt Warner is out for this game.

[[[ghost]]]

If Rattay threw 3 INTs against a once-great Defense in Carolina, hopefully Taylor will have a monster day.


That said, Rattay will avoid Taylor, and just end up throwing to Springs or Landry, maybe even McIntosh.

[ucfSKINS]

a W sounds good to me, no matter how we get it.

[zoony]

Well I hope we win 45-0, because I know that one of this team's goals coming into the 2007 season was to impress Dance04


:jerk:

[Zhouse]

How about, as we get healthy and bring back starters we somehow manage a W in the process. I don't care how, a W would go a long. We have tough opponents coming up and we need to be as prepared as possible.

HTTR!

[Sweet Sassy Molassy]

This isn't going to be a cakewalk game. This is the same team (Well, minus the QB) that beat a tough Pitt team a few weeks ago. Arizona has a pretty tough defense. I don't care how we win, as long as we looks consistent in doing so. I want to see all sides of the team working. I want WRs making the catches that they are supposed to make, I was to see guys doing what they are supposed to do. If they do what they are supposed to, then we'll win. I have no doubt about it. So far in both losses, the thing that's beat us is us.

[andyburd]

I guess we are just average, because it will be a close game. I think you should know that we win UGLY most of the time. I just want to win

[SKINS FAN #56]

Couldn't be said any better. You just saved me a long post :)

[flexxskins]

Right now I would be happy to escape with a win.. Our Offensive line right now has been decimated and wouldn't surprise me if I started seeing some of our defensive lineman have to play "iron man" footballOMG I hope that it doesn't actually come to that. But amen on your point.

[stoshuaj]

that's absurd, and the same logic that has college teams running up the score to "impress" the pollsters.

last I checked, this is a win and get in league not a win and maybe you'll get voted in based on how impressive you played league

[Craig]

we will hang at least 35 on them. Guarantee it.

35-6 is my prediction. They won't score.

You are predicting a score of 35-6 and saying the Cards wont score? huh???

[Walking Deadman]

Does anyone here share my sentiments?

You're not going to be impressed on Sunday.......
I just want this team to execute and win the friggin game.

I don't mind if we lose to a team that's better, but when you don't execute that frustrates me more than anything.

[RenegadeTK]

So far in both losses, the thing that's beat us is us.

yeah.... but that QB change is a huge difference. we should be this team pretty handily. as far as being "impressed"... i just want a win, i dont care how

[ronnix]

really, well, i hope things go well for you. personally, i hve been a fan for 60 years, and i have never worried or cared about how many points my team won by, because it doesnt mean anything. remember, the chicago bears lost to the skins last week of the season, and then beat them for the title by over 10 touchdowns. the cardinals will be without a name qb, which will help the fact we will be without a offensive line. i will take any win.

[pjfootballer]

We won SB 17 with a grind it out team: Only 3 of the 8 wins were by more than 10 points.

Game-by-game results
+--------+-------------------------------+----------+---------+

Who gives a **** what "Dance04" thinks.

Besides, she's from Canada.

[W1N_SKINS]

i think we need a win like we had against Detroit to get our confidence up hopefully we can steal one form the pats and pull off a big upset

[Bacon]

Anyone attempting to talk up the Cards is simply padding themselves in case of a potential meltdown and have the shortest memory humanly possible. Face it; the Cards aren't good. They have a third-string QB starting, a has-been at RB, and a worthless defense that gave up 31 to the Rams.

If we lose, it will be nobody's fault but our own. Certainly not because Arizona is worth fearing.

[SkinsNumberOne]

I share most of your sediments (. . .)

That sounds kind of nasty.

[Chachie]

I'm positive you will not be impressed.

[wbar3383]

Who cares if it impresses you or not.

Seriously, could care less wheter your happy or sad.

[RODAN1054]

I don't think your are understanding my point. What Im trying to say is, if we barely beat the cards, all it does is prove to me we are an average team at best, and won't make the paloffs. However some on here will take it as omg! 12-4! we are the best team in the NFC!! Which wont be the case thats insane, even one of gibbs superbowl years he had tight games

[Chuong9]

If we can beat any NFL team 45-0, we are good, but the other team also really, really sucked (at least on that day).

[Execution56]

No New Threads!

Every team in the NFC is beatable right now. Cowboys and packers are 5-1 but we saw the packers are not that great and the cowboys are beatable as well. So to me i don't care how we win but if win 9 games we will be in the playoffs. In the NFC playoffs any team can reach the SB. So lets celebrate the fact that we are 3-2 and if we win 6 out of the next 11 we will probably make the playoffs. I'll take that for starters.

[bulldog]

Dallas beat Buffalo 25-24. The Colts beat the Texans 28-21.

Winning games in the NFL is more difficult than it appears :laugh:

A win is a win.

It doesn't matter whether the Redskins win 20-17 or 37-17.

Just like it didn't matter against the Packers and Giants. All the Redskins needed to do was score ONE more point in those games and this team would be 5-0 instead of 3-2.

You go back and look at some of the scores from the Redskins 1982 season. The Skins won a MESS of tight games early on that propelled them forward record-wise, but hardly pointed to a Super Bowl victory:

wins over the Eagles 37-34 and 13-9, wins over Giants 15-14 and Cardinals 12-7.

those were half of the 8 wins the team had in the regular season.

and let's remember the 24-10 home loss to Dallas where the Redskins got owned.

[Jethrodsp]

they dont ask you how you win em, only how many you win.

ill take a w any way i can get it no matter what the circumstances.

[mi6]

I don't give a damn about the Cards game. The games that I am most interested in are the ones we have lined up with the Patriots, and the Cowpukes.

If we loose to the Cowpukes ... it will me want to hurl.

[REEGSKINS]

are you kidding me dude. the cards are an NFL team and not that bad of one. we are in horrible shape on the offensive line, so i would take a win this week and be happy.

[bulldog]

so what if we beat the Patriots but lose to Arizona and the Vikings? :)

the Pats game as an AFC game is actually one we can lose and still compete in the NFC.

[ragemdw]

1) A win is a win

2) A win is a win

[Retire 21]

Sad but True. If our defense is as good as we think it is (which I personally think it is) they will not allow Tim Rattay and Edge to score on us

And unless our "potent" Offense embarasses that Cards defense, I'm not impressed.

Really, I'm gonna say it now. If we win in a grind it out, chew up yards slowly, control the clock, win by 7 or less kind of game I will not be impressed. What does this prove? That we have a hard time putting away a cards team that just lost to father time, who had what, like 4 days with the offense? its sad too because if we do win in this fashion half the board is gonna start Ranting OMFG WERE BACK! Nope.

looking at it again tho, our O-line is seriously banged up, so i can give a little leeway there. Regardless, Unless it is a total blowout (bigger then the lions game) I refuse to be sold on this team yet.

Santana, get your ass in gear and catch the ball, and be a number one reciever.

Clinton, I want 100 yards damnit

Ladell, can i please see a YPC over 3.5? thanks

Campbell, how about 300 yards passing please, but keep up the awesome work

STEP UP, you are letting your Defense down!

Does anyone here share my sentiments?

I agree completely, no one is off the hook in my eyes save Jason Campbell and the defense. I just hope we can field an offensive line that will allow us to continue making plays (if only in the first half) on offense.

[SkinsFTW]

Anybody who thinks the Redskins will beat the Cardinals 45-0 is on crack.

At this point with Moss, Portis, Betts, playing like crap and the OL totally gone, I wouldn't be surprised if we are 3-4 in 2 weeks.

[Cringer Eats You]

A win is a win no matter the score. Lets just win this game and get out without more injuries.

[Whiskeypeet]

This game won't be a cake walk. Remember this team beat the Steelers. Sure their QB situation was better at the time but they still have the remarkable WRs, solid defense, and improving o-line.

This is a game the Redskins should win but Arizona isn't going to lay down for the Skins.

Thanks for the chuckle, I really needed it today. I don't share you sentiments what so ever. It all starts with the O Line, which is decimated right now. You make it sound like the Cards are a highschool team, and you know the old saying.......... On any given Sunday.

A win is all I care about, no matter what the score is, as long as ours is higher then theirs.

[pgitta]

Considering the night janitor may be playing RT, I'd take it any way I could get it.

their qb situation was better??? that is the understatement of the year. they went from having one of the best young QBs, to starting Rattay..... i bet they are bumming they didnt go after ole vinny testeverde when they had the chance

[Geoff_K]

I dont see us scoring that many points in any game this year. Our coach does not appear to be one who likes to run up the score. Moreso one that likes a decent lead, then run out the clock.


I would enjoy seeing us with an offense that scores 35 a game, even if we gave up 31. More points = more fun for me. :D

Questions for you:

1. Why must they impress you? Seriously, I am not being rude....just want to know why you think they have to impress you.

2. Do you honestly think this is a "give me" game? Did you think we would lose all those O Line guys in last weeks game?

3. How is a "W" in the win column at the end of the game won by 45 points any different than a "W" at the end of the game won by 17 points? Does the "W" look different?

4. I do not share your sentiments.

[BigRay]

You can't be serious can you ? Do you realize how hard it is to just to be a team. It does not matter if they win by 1 point or 50 they need a win.

[stwasm]

Sad but True. If our defense is as good as we think it is (which I personally think it is) they will not allow Tim Rattay and Edge to score on us

And unless our "potent" Offense embarasses that Cards defense, I'm not impressed.

Really, I'm gonna say it now. If we win in a grind it out, chew up yards slowly, control the clock, win by 7 or less kind of game I will not be impressed. What does this prove? That we have a hard time putting away a cards team that just lost to father time, who had what, like 4 days with the offense? its sad too because if we do win in this fashion half the board is gonna start Ranting OMFG WERE BACK! Nope.

looking at it again tho, our O-line is seriously banged up, so i can give a little leeway there. Regardless, Unless it is a total blowout (bigger then the lions game) I refuse to be sold on this team yet.

Santana, get your ass in gear and catch the ball, and be a number one reciever.

Clinton, I want 100 yards damnit

Ladell, can i please see a YPC over 3.5? thanks

Campbell, how about 300 yards passing please, but keep up the awesome work

STEP UP, you are letting your Defense down!

Does anyone here share my sentiments?

The last time I checked, the NFL didn't award style points or take credit because a team got "lucky." I don't care if we're outgained 500-3. If we get one under the column marked "W," that's all I care about.

[Mad Mike]

I keep seeing this thread and trying to ignore it but considering the state of our offensive line, I think this has got to go down as one of the dumbest football threads of all time. Can someone please close this thread and make this stupid thread title go away. :doh:

[BAFGA]

This just in from the news desk......a 45-0 win counts the same as a 21-20 win. I don't care how it's done. Just win.

The voice of reason speaks! :applause:

I'm not going to read all 4 pages, but I'm wondering if the OP doesn't literally mean 45-0, but simply a dominating win.

If that's the case, I agree. We need some "athletic arrogance" ;) going into the Patriots game, (especially after the GB letdown) and squeaking by the Cards won't give us that.

Moss needs to score a couple of TD's to get his thang back on. Add one by Cooley, one by Portis, and one by Sellers and you've got a blowout. :helmet:

[Merlin Emrys]

Do you pay any attention to the NFL? Granted they're down to a bumb QB, but the Cardinals are no pushovers. They beat the Steelers 2 weeks ago. While I always hope for one, a blowout is pretty unrealistic.

[cmc]

If we lose I hope Gibbs does one of these.

[skinfan2k]

Arizona is not a joke and they will win the division by next year.. THey have the best nucleus of players in that division and remain tough under grimm and whisenhunt

[onnie007]

This is the most ridiculous post I've ever seen. The Cards have 2 Pro Bowl WRs and a very good OL. The D is young, fast and very very strong up front. We narrowly beat a very good team. This game was close only because our game plan was ultra conservative because we were missing 3/5s of our starting OL.

[fwo40]

I love how Arizona is now this great underrated team, b/c they played us close.

C'mon.

If the Skins played in the West they'd have a divisional title or two over the last 5 years.

They are not very good. Better than 45-0, but not better than average. Not with Warner back there.

We played a terrible game. Why can't people accept this?

[21KO]

lol Vinny Testaverde passes for twice as many yards as JC and the Panthers beat the cards easily last week - in Arizona, no less. But we squeak one out and the Cards are now "world beaters" LMAO!

Spin it how you like, fact is we sucked yesterday. We needed a big win to get some confidence back and we blew it. Now we've got our tails tucked between our legs and chins dragging the floor.

No your tail may be tucked between your legs but in the NFL you take a win when you get one. So you mean to tell me that both the Seahawks and the Steelers suck right, cuz they lost to Arizona?

Some of you really stretch when you are trying to write on these blogs, take your doomsday attitudes and go root for somebody else. Yes it wasn't pretty, as a matter of fact it was ugly, but would you have preferred to pass for 400 yards and lose?

Like i said, this ain't your grandaddy's Cardinals anymore. Thats a legit D and Boldin and Fitzgerald are the truth.

different teams, different preparation.. :doh: Teams make adjustments. Half you people have 0 clue regarding taht.. You think teams play the same way each week

[thehogs]

....would you have preferred to pass for 400 yards and lose?



I can only dream! the day we rack those figures up with the D we have and its Super Bowl time. But whether the O line is healthy or - cant get away from it, I know - struggling with injuries we arent close. I see leadership in our D, I dont see much in our offense. It fizzles out from looking pretty good to woeful in the beat of one game (not just this week). Our 2 minute drill seems to be a sign post for the offense to start failing to do everything it has acheived up to that point in the game.

[21KO]

Keep drinking that Kool-aid, kids. Skins can do no wrong, can they? Everything's just peachy, right? LMAO!

And Diesel, rtfp before you spout off. I said we sucked yesterday, not altogether. I didn't watch the Seahawks and Steelers games so I can't judge their performance. They may have indeed sucked on those days.

I dislike the doom and gloomers who give up on games in the first quarter as well, but the rose-colored-glasses-wearing head-in-the-sand crowd is just as annoying. Maybe more so. Good teams don't lose games like we did with the Giants and Packers. Good teams don't have to pray for a missed FG at home against a QB that has to do everything with one freaking hand. We are not a good team right now, period. We can be, and may well be in a few weeks, but not right now.

Stellar defense plus inept offense equals marginal team. All your spinning can't change that, no matter how superior you think your knowledge of the game is, or how deep you imagine your dedication to the Redskins.

See all those frustrated players after yesterday's game? I guess they're doom and gloomers too, huh? Guess they should find another team to root for, right? I guess they really don't know much about football. ROF!! :laugh:

[Diesel70ChipOnWhite]

Well Mr. Well Informed Real Man of NFL Genius, since we can't pass one over your head and your uncomparable football knowledge, understand the point of my spout off. We won. And you made it seem like we should have kicked the ever living crap out of a team that had the same amount of wins going into the game as we did. Anything else is unacceptable.

Every week 2 teams lineup all accross the nation. Only one team wins each of those games. Some teams win more than others. You have your bad teams, i.e. The Jets, Miami, Atlanta, St. Louis, Philadelphia. You have your average teams, Cleveland, Chicago, Houston, San Diego, Denver. You have your good teams, Washington, NY Giants, Detroit, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Pittsburgh, Tennesse. Then you have the elite teams, New England, Indianapolis and as much as it pains me to say it in the sub tier of elite are the Cowgirls.

We are 4-2 and you calling us anything other than a good team is just you being pissed that we haven't kicked the crap out of all the teams we've beaten in your Madden fantasy football world mindset. Do you have any idea where the Arizona defense was ranked coming into this game? No. 4 in the NFC, No. 10 in the NFL. Whoever the hell expected a blow out just doesn't understand the league. The only team kicking the crap out of everybody week in and week out is the Patriots and i have never claimed to be anything resembling them. They are juggernauts right now.

Why do you have to assume that a team sucked in order to lose? The Steelers and Seahawks both had a hard time beating a good team in the Cardinals, they didn't suck, they lost to a good team. Its not your grandpas Cardinals anymore and i will even go on record as stating that there is no way the Cardinals get swept by the NFC East this year.

Bottom line is just because everybody doesn't drink your cup of PISS-AID, doesn't mean you have to attack those who don't agree with you.

So all in all


Stop your whining and have a nice cup of...

You know why the pitcher is smiling? Cuz it tastes like 4-2 Kool Aid and not 2-4 like we were at exactly this point last season.

[Dance04]

I wonder how many people who posted in this thread that "A win is a win, i don't care how we do it" Were in this forum 2 minutes after the game bitching about how bad we stunk it up.

and to everyone who says the skins don't need to impress me personally. Duh, of course they don't. I never said they needed to impress me. I only said i wouldn't be impressed. And I wasn't.
