Against a #1 seed we beat and since we are a 9 point under dog.....and we only had 120 yrs of total offense, there is no where to go from here but up......If Joe Gibbs is smart he will unleash a verage of offensive plays....

Its like 2am, for the last hour i've been thinking about nothing but this game and suddenly I'm terrified. Not at Seattle, but isn't it amazing how far we've come and how close we really are to getting that Ultimate prize? Alot of guys on here havent even experianced a nice playoff run like this, let alone back in the glory days to the Super Bowl. I don't want this freaking thing to end, I honestly cant think of a better 5 months of my life. Every weekend everyone I care about comes over and we watch the Skins' cause they all wanna watch it with me. Some of the freaking stuff that happened this year I'll remember till the day I die. I hope all the players feel the same way, that this is truly somthing special and they dont want it to end just yet.

FOUR MORE WEEKS !

FOUR MORE WEEKS!

Nervous?
We're the 6th seed playing the #1 seed.
We gonna let it all hang out.
Punish the wimpy division champ Seahawks.
Let's GO REDSKINS!!!
We've got nothing to lose. We gonna bring everything!
GO SKINS!!!

im not nervous at all.seattle is the first #1 seed that really doesnt scare anyone.i would be shocked if the skins couldnt run the ball on seattle.that and it seems like every time seattle gets something good going the last couple of seasons,hassleback does something stupid to screw it up.and do their recievers really scare anyone?earlier when we played them ,we beat both wr up

I'm simply saying we've had a great season to this point and nobody can take that away from us, not even these mediots who are trying to piss on our parade.

TheMalcolmConnection · 01-09-2006, 08:16 AM

Is it just me or does it seem like we didn't run a lot of offensive plays to begin with? I mean Mark only passed 15 times. Seattle's defense is far worse than Tampa's.

Summo · 01-09-2006, 08:18 AM

Was it pissing anyone off besides me yesterday during the Panther/Giants game when Troy Aikman kept saying that the Panthers are built to win on the road?
By saying that he was implying that they have a great defense and can run the ball. Isn’t that what we do? I was screaming at the TV what about us Mother ****er?!?!

They squeaked past mediocre Atlanta at home 21-18. Got past St. Louis 37-31. Barely beat Dallas at home 13-10. Barely got past the woeful Niners 27-25. Barely beat the Giants at home 24-21. Barely beat the terrible Titans 28-24.

Seattle is definitlely beatable.

Exactly. We have as good of a chance as anyone else in the NFC. We will need offense though, but I really think the offense will be tweaked and Joe and the staff will have them ready for Saturday.

RunRunPass · 01-09-2006, 10:11 AM

i think we match up much better against seattle then we do against tampa. Its gonna be a good offensive show from us.

Why would Aikman talk about the redskins during a NY/Car game?

I'm nervous. I was nervous last week too. Mainly because of Brunell. Since his knee has been hurt, he's basically returned to the Mark Brunell of last year. Portis' health is a concern too. He's been dinged up all season, but it appears that it's starting to take a toll on him now.

With that said, I've always felt that the Seakawks were a soft team. They're definitely not as good as their record. The defense will keep Washington in the game, but if the offense can't swing more than three points, it'll be a painful game to watch.

MTK · 01-09-2006, 10:39 AM

I didn't think Brunell's knee was an issue against TB. He seemed to move around pretty good, TB's D really locked us down more than anything.

12thMan · 01-09-2006, 10:49 AM

I think for us to come up with only 120 yds in offense and still win on the road says a lot about this team. I mean, the Giants basically had the same offensive output and got stomped by the Panthers.

I think we'll do very good against Seattle.

If you don't allow yourself to enjoy a good season from the team when it has one, I think you just end up making yourself miserable.

I want the Skins to win this Seattle game more than anything, but if they lose I will applaud them as they walk off the field. They've given me a lot of great moments to remember this year. You can't come away from every season with a championship, but you can take away memories from every season. No matter what happens this weekend, I'm going to always remember the 14-13 win over Dallas, sweeping the Eagles, the 35 point trouncing of the Cowboys and Giants, the 6 game win streak in December and January, Portis' press conference costumes, and the birth of a classic nickname, Captain Chaos.

I'm very happy with the team this year, no matter what happens in Seattle. I just hope they make me even happier with another win.
