We've cut it real close two weeks in a row

C, I am not trying to look that far ahead yet. I want to so bad, but I am staying level headed about this season. Not trying to get my expectations high, as of yet. I do like what I see, and this is a team that could pull something like that off, as could quite a few teams this year.

The Packers were my pick last year, and I was completely retreating from the pick in like week 5 or 6, and all the way till the end of the year. I only came back on board when they decisively beat the Eagles in the first week of the playoffs. It seemed as though they had found "it" again.

C BTW my daughter just turned 1! (Why I missed watching the game today.)
Bet that 1st year went quick! Here's looking forward to many more great ones for you both!:food-smil

THANKS! And yes it did, almost to quick. The wife was a little depressed as the day neared. All is good though, and she realises this is just part of the process.

Sorry for the momentary thread highjack. Back to football!

Sorry bud, this is not the same team as last year. With under 20 players from last year being carried over, there is absolutely NO evidence to show that this isn't a great football team. In fact, in the past, we'd be in on the losing end of this due to bungled plays. It matters a big deal because good football teams WIN these types of games.

I agree, this isn't last years team. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves. After two games we've beaten a beat up Giants team at home and a terrible defensive team in Arizona. I'm not calling this team great after two games.

The proper title for this thread is:

A. Moss is the Man on 4th Down
B. Rex: Erratic Yes, But Don't Count Him Out
C. Skins Improving in Close Games?
D. Random Redskins Thoughts

One other thing about Rex that nobody has mentioned: his toughness. We all know our O-line isn't the best, and he's definitely taken his fair share of big shots the last couple weeks. That these hits haven't rattled him or gotten him off his game is invaluable, and are a far cry from our recent QBs *cough* mcnabb. I love what I've seen out of Rexy so far, and especially that.
