We are not below the radar according to Warren Sapp.

Hey Warren! The Eagles were a super bowl contender BEFORE Vick, so what does that mean now? I'm thinking Patriots-Eagles Super Bowl this year, your thoughts? Thanks man

Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Patriots? Yes. Eagles? Fifth on my list of the NFC teams. I have Minnesota, Washington, Atlanta and Cardinals.

Please take away one of the l from below.

I've found one NFL analyst who thinks we should be good.

Link?

Clearly this is fabricated because the media hates the Redskins.

Or because Warren Sapp and hasn't been exposed to all of the necessary haters yet.

I'm picturing Sapp strapped to a chair with his eyes pried open like in A Clockwork Orange. He's being forced to watch anti-Redskin propaganda while "Hail To The Redskins" is played backwards a full volume.

I'd like to know if he said this before or after our 1st preseason game because it seems like a lot of people are putting more stock into that than they probably should.
Either way, I like where his head is at. On paper, so take that for what its worth, we seem to be built for success now that we should have a GREAT defense and an offense that should be able to run the ball well and limit turnovers.

I no good with a Computer don't know how to do that link stuff found it on NFL WS unplugged.

Eagles were NOT a SB contender before Vick. Other than Peters who is injured and maybe McCoy at backup RB, they downgraded a ton of positions in offseason losses of Dawkins, Shepherd and others. They've lost their defensive leader and their line is already in shambles.

Vick only adds distractions.

Sapp was a DT, so maybe he's overvaluing his position & predicting we'll be a contender because we got a beast DT.

I think every commentator is looking for that dark horse team to throw out there in august, then say in Dec.; "remember, I picked them & no one else did." The Skins are a good dark horse pick IMO, but I honestly can't say at this point we should expect to be 1 or 2 in the division. The NFC east is shaping up to be so brutal that the last place team will be better than a couple division winners.

That's actually exactly what I was thinking. I was like, "I bet he's picking them because he thinks Haynesworth is going to have a monster year and catapult them into the playoffs."

yeah, seems rare that a former player can come right into the booth/studio in the first couple of years & not overstate their position's value. Aikman & Moose are actually a couple of the best at talking about all positions. C. Carter & Keyshawn seem to revert to wr talk in every discussion.

If by "Moose" you mean Darrell Johnston...he is an absolute DOUCHENUGGET. I can't stand him. And he looks like the Ooompa Looompa's father. Nice fake tan, douche.

Man, I've got no love for cowpokes, former or present, but I respect his professionalism. I think he does a great job in the booth.

Not too concerned w/his tan, fake or not, but I'll give you credit on the insult!

Until our offense shows it can be score some points (and its been many years), its tough to call us a contender, IMO.

You raise a valid point. The last time that our offense legitimately inspired fear was back when Norv Turner was coach. That said, if we can even approach 20 points per game, we will contend for the division title.
