I had a strange feeling watching the game Sunday and again yesterday. Optimism. It seemed that we had the younger, faster, more physical football team on the field for the first time in seemingly ages. That 2nd quarter was magical, simply put. Even in the midst of the comeback, I felt confident we would make the plays to win. It's been forever, probably since '91, that I felt that confident that we would do what we needed in order to close out a big win. The future is indeed bright in Redskins-land.

The two teams we beat are in disarray. I understand the enthusiasm, but lets still remember we are still under .500, and are playing the super bowl champs this next week. They spanked us at our house, we have to play much better than we did even the past two weeks against a MUCH superior opponent. You want to see if the redskins have what it takes to contend? This next game with a share of the lead of the NFCE on the line, primetime game with the ability to finally pull back to .500 will say alot. The coaches have a leg up on time to prepare, and our guys should be much more rested than the GMen. This next game is defintely a must win if we want to seriously make a run at the playoffs.
