Down time things to talk/think about.

B.S. headline.

"I think they’re going to challenge for the NFC East title next year."

"I think they’re going to be relevant and challenge for the NFC East title."

Big difference.

Seriously, some people need to cool down and not get into it too much.. Or otherwise they would be VERY upset and do something stupid if things doesn't go well for us this season.. I guess that's what we get for being Redskins (or NFL) hardcore fans..

Don't worry, I have my Kapipal account all set up, and I will get in touch with mlmdub about using his sign if we do anything less than 5-1 out the gate!

Every year there's a trendy (or as some would say "sexy" but I hate the use of such a word in football) pick in preseason from some of the media. For years it was Arizona, then they finally got somewhere.

I recall someone on nfl live saying that the Skins would be the surprise team of the nfc. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next month or so as predictions start rolling out that some will have us as that sleeper team. I would prefer that didn't happen, would rather we "sneak up" on teams. But w/Shanahan in charge there's quite a track record to look to, and his name alone brings some attention to the team. So I don't know that we could surprise teams much anyway.

I'm still thinking 8-8 at best, if for no other reason I've learned to lower my expectations. Or maybe I'm just "staying medium" for now.
