Call me a blind optimist but...

Does anyone realize that right now at 3-5 the Redskins are just 2 games back in the wildcard? The Giants are the only non division leader with a winning record at 5-3. The rest of the NFC is just as pathetic as we've been. The following teams are at 4-4, St. Louis, Detroit, Green Bay. The Cowboys, Saints, Bucs, Bears and Cardinals are also 3-5. We were a bad call away from beating the Packers & Cowboys and a Rod Gardner catch away from beating the Giants who lost to the Bears today. Our offense is still a long way from good, but if the D keeps it up and the special teams keep playing well then at least we can maybe steal a couple games and make a late push.

After the next 2 games, assuming Brunell starts, we will be 3-7 and basically out of it once and for all.

I think we can easily beat the Bengals next week.

Just because Gibbie lead us to a win this week, don't get your hopes up.

I think we'll beat Cincinati. They are not nearly as good as the win they put up today. I'm pretty confidnent we will beat them and be 4-5 and I'll be getting excited. I'm not going to say pull this guy or start this guy, but if we dont have a passing game before the Phi/Pit/NYG/Phi stretch, we will be 0-4. I'll tell you waht, if we have a passing game we have a really good shot against philly. They have a poor run defense, and our defense can shut down their offense within reason, and hold them to a low # of points ( I'm thinking like 20 ). If we have a passing game to open up our offense I really like our chances to split with them. Now Pittsburgh is REALLY good, so we'll see there. The Giants are on again off again, I think we can beat them too. If we dont get a passing offense **cough cough start Ramsey cough cough ** then we will get rolled.

Easily? Have you watched a single game this year?

They just beat the Cowboys. Remind me, did we beat the Cowboys this year?

Guys, I hate to say it but we'll have a time keeping Chad Johnson in check. See what happened to Denver when they tried to man up on C Johnson? If we get some hits on Palmer we'll be alright. I think it'll be a good game and Johnson is the X factor. The play-offs are not unreal if we wen 2/3rd of our remaining games.

palmer was easily rattled while I was at SC. he's definitely gotten better, but if you put him on his back enough, he'll start overthrowing his receivers.

we should contain rudi johnson, so it's up to carson to beat us with his arm.

Yeah, Im not saying it's an impossible task. I just think it will be interesting to watch.
