They didn't impress is all I'm saying. They beat my squad. We suck no question. But those teams will put up a far better fight. Most of your games your not behind the score. So you can control the tempo, those teams have leads and dominate. I have yet to see your team struggle; on 'D' or 'O'.
I was talking about the play right before that on third down, where Curtis was wide the fuck open for an easy TD and McNabb missed him, the same way he had been missing open receivers all night.Quote:

If you watched the game you would have seen how the 'Skins D was all over McNabb, the Secondary locked onto receivers, and kept Westbrook out of the end zone, so yes - I think they dominated them.
Edit: personally, I already said 8-8 is a fine prediction for the Skins. I'm just taking exception to your claims that the Niners have only made minimal improvements since 2005, which is ludicrous.

You have to have the right players in order to execute your offensive/defensive system and I really think the 'Skins have the players they need to succeed. Now I'm not predicting a SB run or anything, but given the talent and coaching on that team; anything less than 8-8 will be unacceptable. Could it happen? Sure. Just look at how far they fell after making it to the Divisional matchup against Seattle in '05. However, with a 2-0 start, things look like they're heading in the right direction.
Yeah. McNabb wasn't on point, but I think that was becuase of his knee and the pressure the 'Skins D applied on him. Those plays during the end of the game were a direct reflection of the Redskins Prevent defense (which I despise). But point taken.Quote:

I'll just chalk up my attitude towards being a typical, loyal Redskins fan. The 49ers are putting the right pieces together to get back into championship form. Oh how I can't wait for these two teams to get back to their late 80's/early 90's form. Those two teams met quite often during the NFC playoffs and Championship games back then.
I can't wait until the end of October when this thread has no more Redskin bullshit in it. They have a completely unproven QB, a 5'3" #1 WR, a RB who only looked good because he was in Denver (like 27 other guys... Terrell Davis says hi), and a young, mistake-prone defense.
Here is their performance for the rest of the season:
Detroit - Win
@ Green Bay - Loss
Arizona - Win
@ New England - Loss
@ NY Jets - Loss
Philadelphia - Win
@ Dallas - Loss
@ Tampa Bay - Loss
Buffalo - Win
Chicago - Loss
@ NY Giants - Loss
@ Minnesota - Loss
Dallas - Win
Final record: 7-9, as long as that last game doesn't mean anything to Dallas.
I actually was thinking Philly might beat them the second time around. That one could certainly change.
Also: Kitna felt the hand of god!
