What Will It Mean if the Skins Win Sunday?

firstdown · 10-12-2007, 03:58 PM

That they beat Green Bay!!

Redskins247 · 10-12-2007, 04:07 PM

It will no doubt be a big win, beating a good team on the road! EVERY win is big...because it gets us closer to the playoffs!

saden1 · 10-12-2007, 04:14 PM

It means we can win in a hostile environment against a good team...a 4-1 record...and one less game we have to win to get into the playoff.

rypper11 · 10-12-2007, 04:42 PM

It will mean that if the Pack, Lions and Skins all finish 10-6 we get the WC. I'm not blind enough to believe that they will finish 15-1 and I doubt the Cowpokes will lose more than 3-4 so all games against NFC foes are big.

skinsfan_nn · 10-12-2007, 04:48 PM

It will mean this team is going in the direction we think it is, UPWARD! 4-1.

This is a BIG TEST on the road, this could be a HUGE NFC WIN!

skinsguy · 10-12-2007, 04:54 PM

I believe it will mean that we are a legit contender in the NFC, and quite possibly one of the top two teams in the NFC. Who's the other one? I'm not saying...LOL!

bertoskins2 · 10-12-2007, 07:06 PM

im am thinking the patriots though as our real yardstick

Tha Posse · 10-12-2007, 07:34 PM

At 8:00 p.m. on NFL Network they are going to tell everyone why the Redskins are going to beat the Packers. I just saw it scrolling across the bottom

Tha Posse · 10-12-2007, 07:37 PM

I wish they wouldn't do that, look at the Giants game

Rajmahal33 · 10-12-2007, 08:28 PM

To me at least the game this sunday isn't a big indication of how the league views us, but rather of how the redskins players will view themselves...

I think a win, or a strong performance, as a team and by individuals, could really be encouraging for the players (and coaches) and be a real confidence booster. On the other hand, an embarassing loss could really deflate the team and cause a snowballing panic effect. That to me is why this is a big game, not because we could be 3-2 or 4-1.

I would like to see, regardless of the outcome, JC really step it up and show that he can pick apart a solid defense while committing few mistakes. I would also like to see our offense line come together as a unit and really stifle a daunting pass rush. Along with that I want them to really dominate the line of scrimmage so we can see positive gains on 80-90% of the running plays. It goes without saying but I want our D to continue to play together as a team and limit time of possession (turnovers would be nice too). If we can do these things, I am pretty confident that we will win the game and I will personally be assured that we are a legit team that will challenge for a playoff berth.

Dammit! Way too early for this kind of talk. It's hard enough to wait 6 days between games right now w/o thinking of playoffs and shit. I like what S. Springs told reporters: "We ain't done nothin yet." I hope every guy on the team has that kind of attitude right now. We need everyone hungry.
IMO if we stay hungry the only games that will really challenge us for the rest of the season will be Dallas and NE, but if we're inconsistent like last year there's no telling how the season will go.

I can tell you where it will go. No where. The history behind the Skins is, after a big win we get over-confident and go out and blow the next one. I REALLY hope we stay hungry. To me that is the component of a team you must keep in order to do good in this league.

Hate to disagree with Springs, but 3 wins out of 4 is doing something in this league. Time to believe in gibbs again. Can't you guys see it ? There's something in him and a lot of players on the team this season. It all starts with gibbs - get ready because ain't no stopping him this season. I don't know what it is, but it's like he got his mojo back or something.

I'm onboard after seeing them correct their mistakes from the giants game to the lions game. I don't give an f what level the lions are, they were 3-1 and the redskins manhandled them. When one nfl team does that to another nfl team, pay attention. I stopped believing what others said a while back and started making up my own mind about the redskins.

My heart is right there w/ u, but the head keeps saying "don't fall yet, don't fall yet..."

I know what you mean. I did that right before the draft and after reading people's strong opinions at drafting a defensive lineman instead of LaRon Landry. Even after seeing and believing he was a monster of a player that was the best for the redskins to draft - I let others sway my opinion and I was thinking with my head.

What a mistake it would have been to let Landry go. I believe that Landry will only get better and be a great player, especially with all the talent around him. He makes the team better than any defensive lineman ever would this season.

Now my warrior's heart leads the way and path for me.
