Let's talk about the parallels between this season and 2005. In 05 after a promising 5-3 start, including a thrilling Sunday night victory against an Eagles team we hadn't beaten in years, the Redskins dropped 3 in a row. All 3 of these losses were heartbreakers, in which they seemingly defied logic in finding ways to lose. Against Tampa in Tampa they scored 35 against the number one defense in the league, only to fold and let a yellow Chris Simms orchestrate a game winning drive (nevermind that the refs cheated on that two point conversion). The next week was a second-half meltdown and loss to a Norv coached Raiders team that was at that time the worst in the league. Finally, there was a 17-7 home lead to San Diego lost in the fourth quarter, as LT posterized Ryan Clark to take the game in OT.

Go back and read some of the threads from after the SD game. Very similar to what we are reading now.

We all know what happened next. We beat a terrible Rams team, had god intervene against Arizona (what was that guy's name who returned the kick for a TD and blew kisses to the sideline?), and then shit stomped the division to close out the year.

What's my point? We are going to the playoffs bitches, and I don't want to see any of you whining clowns on here ever again after we do.

Hold your head up BSB, I got you!
