Is Tampa The Most Important Game of the Season So Far?

[MTRedskinsFan]

I'm thinking it is for several reasons:

1) The playoff picture. Both Detroit and Philly should lose this weekend so a win in Tampa puts us right there in the wildcard picture. Also, we need to get on a winning steak now to build momentum for big games against NY and Dallas (again).

2) Jason Campbell. The guy became "the man" last Sunday against Dallas. He is the most solid QB in Washington since Mark R. of 15 years ago, and he's finally being allowed to run his offense. Sunday saw him make one mistake that eliminated the possibility of a comeback, and reports have JC sobbing afterward at his locker. I don't think this is any reason to belittle him, it actually shows his passion for professional football and his commitment to arguably the greatest franchise in football. Could JC's emotion spark the guys, offense and defense, to approach the rest of the season w/ playoff intensity?

3) It's Tampa, possibly our biggest rival outside the East. Could playing a huge game in Tampa spark a playoff run?

IMO this game serves as an indicator for the rest of the season, and I will not be surprised in the least if we blow the game wide open.

Hail!
