Call me a blind optimist but...

Im skeptical about Lavar's return .. will he be back for our Pennsylvania road trip?
probably not ... i am excited to watch him play in a system wear he doesnt have to shoulder the responsibility and can roam free and use his athleticism to raise havoc.

You cannot deny that he is an older coach and that he is stubborn in his ways, which will be his downfall. And as far as respect goes, he didn't wipe by buttocks when I was young, therefore, he gets no respect from me until he proves to me he can win again. I don't care if he got 3 SBs and is in the HOF...what have you done for me lately Gibbie, thats what I want.

He won yesterday, is that lately enough for you?

I wouldn't be suprised to see Lavar do anything he can to be ready for the Pittsburgh game. He's from the area and the last time he played there was during the Terry 'Robinski' era so he didn't it wasn't a good time. Not that this one may be much better, but it could mean more than that game did.

You really are an idiot, aren't you?

I think your the idiot. Why rely on blind faith that just because Gibbie won 12 years ago that he still can. We are 3-5 and at the point, a longshot to make the playoffs. That ain't cutting it, well, I guess its cutting the cheese

What do you mean blind faith?

Also, I think Paintrain pointed out on another thread that the playoffs really aren't a long shot when you look at the records of non division leaders in the NFC

:doh: We are 3-5, a bad team with a bad QB and a stubborn old coach. We will not make the playoffs. And by blind faith you are not watching the games, seeings that Gibbie can't do it anymore and relying on his past.

Great point Paintrain. We could easily be 5-3. The defense has been uncanny all year long and now the special teams are shaping up as stellar. It is only a matter of time when our offense starts to gel. It is conceivable that even for this year we could make the playoffs. I am mainly concerned that get ourselves in a real groove by the end of the year, working on all cylinders as best as possible.

I look for us to pick up another win against Cincy, and maybe we will have some surprises in store for the Eagles and upset them.

Eleven out of the 16 teams in the NFC are between 5-3 and 3-5, and if Indy wins tonight, that will make it 12. What does that mean? Parity is in full swing and who makes the playoffs is still totally up in the air. If the Skins can manage to climb to .500 within the next 2, or even the next 4 games, anything's possible. I've thought all along that Philly peaked too early, and they look a lot more "human" than they did the first 4-5 games of the season. The Giants got a big confidence boost, thanks to us, but they are starting to struggle (they lost to the Bears?!?!), as are the Cowroids. The NFC South and West are up for grabs (minus the 1-7 Niners and Panthers), and especially if the Vikings lose tonight, so is the North. This means the Skins still can control their own destiny by starting to win more of these close games....and finding a way to put up some points would help too! ;)
Put in Ramsey!!!!

I think your the idiot.

<Christ...> 'you're'

I agree that the season is a bit shakey at this moment, but i do think that we can use the bengal game as a "make or break" game. I also think that Brunell needs to sit back and relize that he needs to do something or sit down, it is not fair to the rest of the team. Brunell potentially can be a good QB. He looks like he isn't comfortable in the offense. Gibbs did the right thing in going out and getting him, the price might have not been so good, but hopefully Ramsey can at least learn something from him.
