I just think it's funny that prior to the game yesterday, it was our biggest test. And it was, Seattle is a legit playoff contender with a very good offense and a quality defense. We win the game and as soon as it's over the so called experts are reaching for every excuse in the book as to why the Skins won.

Is it that hard for the mediots to admit that just maybe, just maybe the Skins are an improved team??

Can they even acknowledge that this was a team that lost it's share of close affairs last year, and with an even average offense was a team that could have won 10 games?

Is it that hard to imagine the Skins winning 8, 9 or even 10 this year??

Well I guess so if you're Dr. Z who predicted 4 wins the entire year, hey we're 3/4 of the way there!

Matty,

Did you also notice that on espn.com that the teaser was "Seattle's missed FG allows Redskins to win in OT"

When the Eagles came back, it wasn't, "Chiefs collapse allows Eagles to come back"

It was basically, "McNabb is God. Nothing is more courageous than playing with his condition."

I guess according to the Z man, we're now poised to lose, what, 13 of the next 14 games. Good call doctor Z!

It should have read something like, "Redskins dodge bullet after dominating most of game to win in OT."

Another thing, and this was on another thread, can't remember which one.....but next week against Denver is supposedly our biggest test of the season.

...and Tampa barely, barley hung on to beat Detroit. But they are soooooooo good!! Bullsh**T!
the bucs really should have lost on that bs call on the Marcus Pollard td catch, but they've got one of the golden boys of the league as their Coach so the media is of course going to slurp all over them.

after yesterday the team is #14 in the league in offensive production and 5th in total defense but like others have said, the media will find any way to say the team playing the skins lost the game instead of saying how the skins won the game. Winning a game by more than 10 would go a long way towards helping that bandwagon jumping though. All I know is even though they didn't score a whole bunch, the team has improved by 5 points from the first game, and now 6 points over the 2nd game speaks of pretty darn good improvement which is further showed by the skins having 4 or 5 drives with over 10 plays yesterday.

Great point, they're basically saying Seattle lost the game rather than the Redskins won it.

I'm sure when we beat Denver there will be more of the same. I'm just wondering how long it will take before the experts say hey, you know these Redskins aren't half bad!

Let's see, Dallas by one point, Chicago by two points, Seattle by three points....somewhere around Oakland in Week 11 we'll get that 10 point victory.
