We could be the happiest people in the world but if the players don't do their jobs out there on the field it isn't going to mean shit.

I say we need anxiety and we need to fret over the games because that adds excitement when we pull out a game like the Monday Night Miracle last season. If we totally ignored the possibilty that we could every lose again why would we even watch the games, just to say "I told you so"? It's the struggle that creates the drama that keep sports interesting.

And what in the hell is a "ninny" exactly??

There are many of us faithful who are going to hang right in there with you (including me) but there is a bottom line that is not going away. We basically have four games left to our season that will determine any hope of a playoff berth following this season. The two games left with Philly, one each with the Giants and Cowboys will pretty much determine our fate. Regardless of what we do in those other games on the schedule, those are the only one's that really matter.

And don't get me wrong; I'm not saying I always expect the Redskins to lose or that I never want them to have a perfect season or something like that. I just try to be a realist about it and I try to value every win we get.

Boobs. But that's what old people call them...

Wow man, I'm really trippin' on all the negative vibes ---

Has the thread moved on to body parts now? Groovy.

Well, if Grillz's mom is as hot as his little sister, then you have competition! LOL

J/K Grillz. Kinda.

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-12-2006, 01:50 PM

Nah, I'm making a serious effort to stay on task now. Seriously, if we want to talk positive. Let's talk positive. Our offense has shown potential against one of the best defenses in the league. We STILL have one of the top three backs in the league. Once we can figure out a good gameplan each week, we have one of the best receiving corps in the league (Lloyd got the ball in SF, why not here?). It's all about Saunders learning what he has to work with and gameplanning from there. If we can get Springs back soon, the defense and offense can bail each other out until they're firing on all cylinders.

dmek25 · 10-12-2006, 02:05 PM

tmc, do you really think springs coming back is the answer to all the woes? man, i sure hope so. as talented as this team is, one big game could shift the big MO in the redskins way. get on a roll. i still see 11 wins. I'm sticking to it

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-12-2006, 02:09 PM

I don't think it's the answer, but I think just like Portis being back, it'll help a lot. It's definitely a team game, but individuals are vital cogs in the game plan. Even if you have an above average team around you, losing an extremely talented player takes the overall effectiveness of that team down. As with the defense this year, Springs being out shouldn't affect the team, but you better believe GW doesn't call as many blitzes as he normally would. Remember that first preseason game against the Bengals? That was Williams at his best with Springs in there. He can leave his CBs on an island because he trusts them both.

BDBohnzie · 10-12-2006, 02:13 PM

Springs is one of the better CBs in the league. Any time you get his caliber type player back, it can only help. Plus I think, as one of the older vets on D, he's a catalyst, kinda like Darrell Green was.

Good teams find a way to win on the road. No excuses for the loss to the Giants; we NEEDED to win that game. We're already 0-2 in division games.

That being said, we must stick with the team and not throwing in the towel. It's way to early to do that. I am having an extremely hard time believing that we're Super Bowl contenders at this point--even the playoffs would be nice. Kind of feels like we took 3 steps back from last year's solid showing. Who knows what's going on?

hooskins · 10-12-2006, 10:29 PM

Keep the negative coming, I don't really care. It really doesn't matter what the fans think at all. If we win, we win, or we lose. We will see at the end of the season.
