Bye Week NFC South Thread

Wow, great job by Washington holding Atlanta to 3 in the first half.  Atlanta had scored 75 points in the 1st half of its previous games.  Even if they'd made the FG, holding them to 6 would have been really noteworthy.  Go SKINS!

(It feels fun to root for the Skins again... I was a big Skins fan from 1987 - 1992 when I lived in the DC area... Joe Gibbs golden years...  It was fun.)

before there was a Panthers team, my family was all Redskins fans. there were a sprinkling of Colts, Cowboys, and Falcons fans. but mostly skins fans. so i dont hate them. they're just easy to make fun of.

Just checked... prior to today. Atlanta was averaging 18.8 points per 1st half, ranking them 3rd in the NFL behind AZ & NE

But it turns out, Washington has been very stingy with its defense in other games too... allowing only 5.5 points on average in the 1st half, 2nd best in the NFL after Cincy.  (Panthers are 8th lowest with an average of 8 points allowed in 1st half)

Sure, the Skins have been lousy for so long now, and their management so poor.  But they were great in the late 80s & early 90s.  Gibbs really modeled high character and they were a team I could feel good rooting for.  I'd not cared about football since (especially since I've worked overseas for long stretches of time most of the past 23 years)  until catching Panthers fever in late 2012.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
