I believe we are ready to win a SB but it all comes down to QB, and IMO that's a big question mark, even if Brunell steps up in the new offense can he stay healthy enough through the entire season? If not we have a problem Campbell I don't believe can win a SB at least not yet, which leaves us with a career backup in Collins who we really don't no how he will respond as a starter?
I'd agree, but honestly it doesn't worry me about the QB situation. I'd love to win the SB this year, but I'm not counting on it.
If Brunell stays healthy and keeps up his production I'll be thrilled becuase we'll keep playing like we did last year.
If Brunell goes down and Campbell comes in, I'll still be thrilled. Sure it will probably be rough at first with a rookie at the helm, but overall I'll be excited to see the "QB of the future" step up and start playing.
The Skins might not be a sleeper to us, but I think to alot of people out there we're still flying low under the radar. The Giants and Cowboys both get more hype, which is fine with me.
I wonder if alot of people realize the Skins were 5-1 in the division last year. Just seems odd that so many are so quick to overlook the Skins.

I know it's early, and I know it's easy to feel hyped when nobody's playing - But DAMN, I am psyched for next year.
This is a team that, despite some turnover, is essentially the same group that started out three years ago. Springs, Portis, Washington, Griffin, Brunnell, the ENTIRE O-Line (yes Rabach was new last year, but other than that these guys have been together for a while!). This defense is going to be scary good next year - they will hurt people. Receivers will be hearing footsteps every time they cross the line of scrimmage. With Saunders running the offense, the new WR's aquired, and the support it gets from the defense, this year's offense could be VERY entertaining! I know people question Brunnell, but I think he clearly has something left in the tank AND, if Gibbs follows through on the "I am gonna protect him from injury more", he will (hopefully) be fine at the end of the year. Even if Brunnell goes down, I think the Skins have created a situation for Campbell to succeed - strong running game and O-Line, excellent defense. With Campbell running the show, things might not be AS explosive, but I am betting he will do at least as well as Big Ben or Palmer (after he sat out a year).
BTW - I personally think that, other than the Saunders signing, the continuity on the O-Line is the next biggest factor in our likely success.
Okay, I am over the joy juice now.
95 days and counting to monday night.

Good point! I think of the Skins as the dominate force in the NFC. The media does not agree. Look at the props we get-like NONE. We are still the sleeper to those non-believers.
JoeRedskin-I'm with you!!!!!!!! I'm about to piss my pants for the season to start
