I was having a "YouTube" moment the other night and found the 1991 NFC Championship game between our beloved Redskins and the Atlanta Falcons. Yes, this was the year of "Too Legit To Quit". This was the year where the Redskins demolished the Falcons...something like 56-17 or something to that effect, during the regular season. Anyway, did the Falcons pack up and call it a season after that? Nope....they still made the second round of the playoffs that year and played the Redskins a bit closer in the playoffs.

My point is, I think a team sometimes needs things like this to happen to wake them up and realize that there are repercussions to accepting mediocrity and it catches up to you after awhile. I think a team also needs things like this to happen to see who is going to quit on you and who isn't when the going gets tough. If anything, I think Monday's massacre makes it easier for Shanny and the coaching staff to see who is going to be playing here next year and who they are shipping out. All my opinion of course, but you never know..this could be the thing that scares this team into turning things around. OR, it could be the one that sends them into a tailspin, downward spiral....but hey, I like to think optimistically...LOL!

We are thinking very much the same way brother. Good perspective!
