I've learned a lot from what others seem to think about the 'skins. Not a single non-skins fan has been nearly as optimistic about our season as you see here.
What this team needs is a quiet off season. Just keep the team together, let the chemistry build. We need continuity. We need to keep a coach in here for a few years, and we need to build the team back up to what we all know it's capable of. From a talent standpoint we're rolling in it -- from a team-play standpoint.. well, our defense looks to have bought into a system that's team first. Hopefully the offense will follow suit.

Daesal..........
1. Perhaps we are overly optimistic because we've been waiting 14 long years.........and we think that the odds gotta change, and we hope beyond hope that this will be the year the Skins will FINALLY turn it around and have a successful season. If we become more realistic, then we become pessimistic about our team, then at some point you'd get so depressed that the fans probably wouldn't care anymore...The offseason is the time to be more optimistic, then when the regular season kicks in, THEN reality sets in and we can start to bitch.........
2. Please tell me these forums and people where you can get intelligent dialogue about the Skins and other NFL teams. Maybe because I'm here in Texas if you ask them about the Skins and start to talk players, strategies, matchups, competition, they either say, "all we have to do is win 2 games and beat the Redskins and we can consider it a successful season, that's "our" (Cowboy fans) Super Bowl.", or "Redskins Suck". Even Packer fans, Dolphin fans, Bear fans, Texan fans..........say "The Redskins are a team with a great history".....end of dialogue. I guess because these
non-Cowboy, non-Skins fans, have problems of their own.......If you think the Redskin fans are too optimistic, then I invite you to the Cowboy forums or spend a couple of days in Texas......it's down right nauseating.
3. I agree with your last paragraph wholeheartedly.......
PEACE............
