Is Anyone Else Getting That '05 Season Vibe?

NO. and stop talking about it. you're going to jinx whatever it is that might possibly be currently in the process of beginning that no one here should be talking about for fear of possibly ruining.

If we can beat the Giants this weekend then I think we can beat the Vikings. It's still just one game at a time. At least the games still mean something as long as we keep wining.

I’ll be at the game this weekend in N.Y doing my best to root on our team. I sure hope I don’t fly across the country to watch them loose.

Hopefully, we can beat the Giants. We always have trouble beating our division rivals at their home.

Keep in mind that 2 years ago we got into the playoffs on the shoulders of Clinton Portis. Until we can run the ball i won't get the feeling.

I always look for parallels to the days of Gibbs I, yet every time I point them out it doesn't seem to play out in reality.

So, I'll point one out for the sake of hoping that things DON'T parallel a Gibbs I experience.

In nov. 1990, Jeff Rutledge, our 3rd string qb previously w/NYG, came in v. Detroit after Stan Humphries was injured (M. Rypien was the starter & already out for several games). Down 17, the skins came back & won 41-38 in OT & Rutledge threw for 363 yards, a career game for him.

The next week v. Philly on monday night, we got clobbered in the infamous "body bag game" at Vet Stadium. Brian Mitchell ended up finishing that game at qb.

Altougth Buddy Ryan had his way that night, he talked too much smack & we went in to Philly & beat the iggles in the wild card game that winter.

Aside from that playoff win, since Gibbs I bears no resemblance to Gibbs II, I'm hoping we get crazy production from our #2 qb (#3 last year) & run the table. Although Thomas likely isn't playing, I wouldn't sell the running game short just yet. If anything, Collins command of the playbook might benefit the run game quite a bit. I don't think he's good enough to throw most downs & move the ball, but if he can make the short, quick throws, we can keep them off balance enough to run some.

The only vibe I get is pure confusuion.

It's impossible to predict or even give an educated guess on the remaining games because we just never know which Skin's team is going to show up.

Of course but that is true of everyone in the league and it is really any given Sunday. But all I'm saying is I feel it you may not but don't bring more negative to the situation than hope. It's 50-50 honestly & realistic of course. But I might feel it's in the skins favor which I do as a fan I look at what we can do what we are capable of doing that is winning.

Saying something negative in a post is not going to effect the outcome of a game.It's not like I just jinxed the team.
Of course we can win and I hope we do, I just answered the question of the thread title.
