We're going to be real good next year.

It's becoming clear that this year is nearly a lost cause (5 in a row and we probably still won't go!!), however you can not have asked for a better learning year for Campbell.

Before you **** all over of the post, remember the kid fought back for a 302 yard 2nd half. These close games SUCK. There is no doubt about that. However, these are the kind of games that will make Jason go from the green rookie, to the savvy vet in the 2008 season.

Here's to more games that throw Jason curveballs this year, because that will make us that much stronger next year.

Jason shows promise. There is no shame in having a rebuilding year after a QB change.

None at all.

8-8 might make the playoffs, 9 - 7 will definitely make the playoffs. The year isn't lost, but I'm thinking of just staying pessimistic to keep my blood pressure down on Sundays because this team seems to find ways to lose week in, week out.

With Joe Gibbs as the coach . Yea right i said the same thing last year that we would be 12-4 this year but the redskins always find a way to lose games and blow leads. If it aint one thing its always another. These things are gonna haunt us until someone gets in here and gets a GM who drafts the right players for the system and makes us play fired up football.

I'm not sure if our playoff hopes are over but I agree that Campbell is going to learn a lot this season.

I hope he finds a good reason to stick with this team though. He knows his potential and the team has let him down too many times this year.

Why will we be any better next year? There's not reason we should be this bad this year. We just find ways to lose. It's going to take a long time for me to ever have any faith in this team again. They are just a terrible organization all the way around. I see no reason to hope anymore.

[redskinss]

i like your optimism but im getting a little tired of saying how good we will be next year and talking about the positves that we have while looking at a lousy record.

Bottom line, you were kidding yourself if you thought we had a chance at 12-4 this year. New starter, injury bug, poor playing calling the first 8 weeks of the season. These things will work themselves out NEXT year, and hopefully for the rest of this season, but 8-8 is a decent dream for this season.

If healthy and we draft some key guys, namely a DE, WR, and OL

[2006Skins]

This has been a great season thus far for Campbell. He has learned so much and has carried this team for the 2nd half of the season so far.

stfu we stink and nothing will change next season

[Warhead36]

We can't win close games. Good teams win close games.

Our QB chokes late. Good QBs score TDs late.

There are a ton of reasons we are the way we are this season. The injury bug has KILLED us, our receivers are suspect, and will hopefully be addressed in free agency/draft, and of course Jason. Other then a few garbage games last year (there should be no argument that season was over when he got the ball.) this is the first year he's played as a starter. I think he's played above expectations (at least mine) and has had the type of games you want to see a young quarterback deal with early in his career.

I'd rather have Jason fight through and lose these heartbreakers then to get blown out every game, or blow out every team this season. This is exactly the way a young quarterback LEARNS to be clutch.

shut the **** up if we can't put points up on the board when it matters there is no way. This team is a big pile of steaming **** that was a major "could-have-been".

[h8dacowgirls]

Im tired of fooling myself and thinking we are going to be good every year only to be heartbroken and have the **** joked out of me every week at work. We might have a chance when Gibbs carries his old ass and we can rebiuld. I promise to not get my hopes up but so high about next year

Agreed. There are some positives, the offense is opening up, the D was awesome in the 2nd half-12 plays, no first downs by Tampa. But, the team is too inconsistent. Until the Skins can put a string of wins together and have 2 successful seasons in a row, this team will never look better than when Norv was coaching.
