I am a fan that wants to see improvement from year to year (i gave up on the week to week stuff!) Some may call me a negative pessimist fan, oh well. Facts are hard evidence this team has not improved since Joe has been here. We have had two losing seasons (horrible losing seasons!) and one season where we had to win 5 straight (against a light schedule) to make the playoffs. And here we are in the middle of the pack again, having to basically win all most all of the remaining games to get a shot at the wild card. We may have a bright future with some of the young talent we have here, and I do believe we have some very good young talent. But, we are not a rebuilding type franchise. we are built to win every year, and when the same type of losses mount up year after year its very frustrating and hard to see the brighter side of things. I go into every sunday thinking this is the week we bust out and show what we can do, but all most every sunday we show what kind of team we are. Good enough to hand around and lose in the final minutes. I dont know if Joe leaving is the best thing after this season or not, I could go either way right now. I respect Joe so much I want to see him win, but the NFL is so different now, that I am not sure his mentality fits todays NFL. Call me what you will, but I just want a winner, a team that competes week in and week out, year in and year out.
on that note, i hope we whip the cowboys ass Sunday. If not, bring some pain to TO and Romo. Go after Romo's ass until he see's Burgandy and Gold in his sleep.

Have faith Fanatic - it might not happen this year with all the injuries, but this team is FINALLY seeming to move in the right direction. As bad as the 2006 offseason was, some restraint was demonstrated last winter by the FO. We resigned some of our own core guys (Sellers, Betts, and Cooley) and with Campbell, we have a great young leader to build around. Many of us may bitch about poor game management today, but I believe that most of us would also agree that the future looks bright for the Redskins.
