Washington Redskins Announce "Andrew Luck in 2012 Plan"

you and I are going to almost completely agree on quarterbacks in the draft. How scary is that??? :)

that fan said it wasn’t an April Fools thing.

I was REALLY trying to forget about hockey for the next few months

drafting a quarterback before you have a team is just a mistake. I do see us going QB in either the 1st or 2nd round next year, with OL as probably the other choice. This way though we will already have our WR’s and RB’s in place.

just about every draft analyst is drinking the Barkley Kool-aid …i just don’t get it L. Jones is far superior in every facet of his game. Also he doesn’t suck against good competition the way Barkley does.

so much I understand why the rebuilding process is so foreign. Look at every media member who took a shot at us, the Bills, or Cards for not taking a QB. Or people salivating over the Falcons jumping up to get Jones when the Browns might have landed just as talented a receiver at 59.

For the first time in a long time the Skins are on the right track, and honestly it doesn’t matter one iota who our QB is for 2011. We could have Tom Brady and I don’t think we’d be a playoff team, so lets not chase some lesser option or be worried if Sexy Rexy or Beckster is the man.

+6

we also won all our games by 6 points of less, the majority of which were were by a FG. We gave up 75 more points than we scored last season, and we would probably need to be +50 (so a 125 point swing) to be a real playoff contender. While I love what we did in the draft and think Atogwe is a hell of a start we aren’t there yet. Our talent level doesn’t come close to comparing to our division foes, much less the top teams in this league.

If you look at last year most of our wins or close games came because we had a lot going for us that we won’t have next season.

Schedule:
Cowboys: They had 2/5th’s of their starting o-line, and if not for the Barron penalty or the stupid call at the end of the half we don’t win that game (worth noting Barron played a total of 2 snaps after that game.)

Texans: One of the Skins best games, but the Texans were without Cushing and K. Jackson really struggled that first half of the season. If we faced the Texans later in the year we might not even come close to beating them.

Rams: we got beat pretty bad by a rookie QB, despite S. Jackson missing most of the game.

Eagles: Haynesworth dominated the LOS (won’t have that next year), Vick got injured, and the Eagles blew the 4th and goal play at the end of the half…and they still almost pulled it out in the end. Or offense getting like 200 yards is not a win in my book.

Packers: What Packers didn’t get injured in this game?? (or prior to it) It was a nice win to pull out, but if we played them 10 times how many do you really think we win?? Esp. if they are healthy.

Colts: honestly one of our better games, despite the fact that Manning moved the ball up and down the field we made a number of 3rd down stops (carlos why couldn’t you catch the ball) and Orakpo’s big sack. This def. could have been a win, but we simply made too many mistakes and didn’t get enough pressure on Manning. Also our great hurry up offense was an absolute joke at the end of the game.

Bears: Again no Big Al, who terrorized Cutler by literally throwing his lineman into him, and stopping that goaline play leading to a fumble. Again this is another one that I don’t know how many times we beat them if we play 10 times. I think we caught the Bears at a time when their O-line was the worst and Cutler was shellshocked after getting killed in that Giants game.

Lions: Yeah we got pretty well dominated despite Stafford coming back from injury and not being that effective. Ugly game for us and no reason we should have lost like that.

Eagles: absolute shellacking here. Failure in every aspect of the game.

Titans: Lets see we needed Britt to be injured, Randy Moss to disintegrate the team, Vince young to get hurt and get into a fight with his team, and oh yeah two personal foul penalties against the Titans in OT to get in FG range. That isn’t exactly a signature win.

Vikings: They had a brand new coach, Sidney Rice just coming back from injury and no where close to effective, Peterson hurt early and Favre ineffective and we still can’t come up with the win at home.

Giants: We got pretty well dominated in this game despite the Giants not having their starting receivers.

Tampa: was starting a patchwork o-line and lost their top DT Gerald McCoy about 8 plays into the game. While people will want to blame the ST’s for this loss, our offense should have never put them in that position. Some crucial missed 3rd downs are why we didn’t win.

Dallas: We came pretty close to a big time comeback, but lets not forget that this team was without Romo and Bryant, and well weren’t exactly great last year.

Jacksonville: Again not a signature win, esp. considering it was a cold day in Jacksonville (i know it is an excuse, but the track record of Florida teams in cold weather games isn’t pretty), and the were without their star RB. We still barely managed to beat them and needed OT to do it.

Giants: A better game against the G-men, but still our offense didn’t do much and I think we just aren’t on the same talent level as them.

Now I realize we had some injuries as well and the loss of Haynesworth did hurt our defensive production, but that was by choice, both his and Shanny’s and the other injuries weren’t nearly as major. Trent for a couple games and Orakpo for one (which we actually won). Landry was a tough loss, but really we weren’t that better of a team when he was playing. Our injuries don’t compare to what other teams endured and I just think people fail to see that. I know a win is a win, and I’ll take them, but I just don’t see us beating playoff teams like we happened to do this year. We had a lot of things in our favor thoughout the season.
