At this point you almost wonder if he wants to play.

Like I said, he's the new Malcolm Kelly

Injures are a real bitch sometimes. Saying he's got no heart is a pretty weak assumption.

I'm so nervous about tomorrow. Of course there is Roberts knee, but I'm much less concerned about that having seen the progress he has made and how good he is looking. What has me nervous is that I have never had higher expectations for this team.

I came of age in the Norv Turner era, and that 99 team was the first time I really followed every little thing about the Redskins, and since then I have seen nothing but one disappointment after another. Oh, and then THE legendary coach comes out of "retirement" to save our sorry franchise, and though there were good moments, the way Gibbs 2.0 fizzled out at the end has left such a bitter taste. I liked bringing Shanahan in from day one, but over the years my optimism for the skins had died. RG3, well I have never been more impressed with a young QB's talent, character, and/or personality, but going into last season my expectations were reserved (THEN I SAW WHAT HE COULD DO), and I was pleasantly surprised by a division championship.

Now, to me, I believe this is the best Redskins team I have seen, but have been burnt so many times that I am waiting for the other foot to drop. Anyone else feel this way? Or can someone with more years of Redskins fandome please tell me its ok to believe in them this time, because they really ARE a talented, young, deep team that is just starting to reach maturity. I know the rug can be pulled out from under us (Miss you 21), but I just need to hear that this is what a rising star looks like.

It's Monday. Hope I can sleep tonight. 4:55 pm can't come fast enough.

Redskins 41 Eagles 17. Their second TD comes in garbage time. 1-0, off to Green Bay.

Not to look to far ahead but if GB gave up 400 plus to Kap; look out for RGIII!

I agree. That Pet Shop Boys retrospective that is on tv at 7 looks to be interesting.

Don't forget guys, this is an earlier game tonight than usual! I don't get home until 6pm, so I'll probably have to set the DVR to record it so that I can get my workout in before watching the game.

I really feel that, right out of the gate, this is a must win game. It's an NFC East game for one thing, but having to play Green Bay next week is going to be pretty tough. It's hard to imagine the Packers starting off 0-2 (although I do hope that happens!) It's equally tough to imagine the 'skins stumbling out of the gate at 0-2. And I must say, if the 'skins are able to start off 2-0 against a division rival and a playoff regular team, then my expectations are going to sky rocket!
