This will fire everybody up ...

Defense still wins championships and this defense will help the offense on numerous occassions with a short field. Pretty harsh about the 8-8 struggle as the last 1/4 of the season the Redskins were among the elite 8 in the league and hot as hell.

F...the HATERS!

Thats a very real standpoint. I both agree/disagree but good points sorta. We have all discussed Mark and the QB situation, there is alot that can go wrong and alot of uncertainties there for sure. In regards to KC's record, KC has to be one of the worst defense teams every year, pass or run against them at your will. Which is why they havent done squat except boast great Off. numbers, admit it. Sure Snyders plan is to spend money, but there is a saying you have to spend money to make money.I know he is trying, look at the ravens they are so tight with their money, never greedy in Free Agency and it cost them, they missed Rays prime and may make some noise this year but be prepared the next 5 years they will be the Browns. I think its a bit nieve of the writer to say the skins fight to be 8-8, yeah its been a battle but look at Joe Gibbs success, HOF coach and 3 rings to brush off the skins is foolish. Heart, chemistry, and talent got and will get us through. With our schedule as rough as some matchup are , the power shift alligned to the NFC, most competitive the division that it has been in years yes it is up hill, I do have my doubts, but I believe that they BELIEVE they def. are contending. If G.Williams is a magician for using what little he has to work with, what would be the rebuttal to the weapons he now has to create a pass rush? Dumbest journalist writing I have read. Al in KC also had half the talent the skins do offensively so I say it will come together come playoff time.

In the Year 2000 the chiefs were 7-9
NFL rank (rush/pass/total)
Offense: 25/5/8
Defense: 17/20/18
Dating back to 2001 when Saunders took over as offensive coordinator, the Chiefs rank first in the NFL with 30,470 net yards of total offense (379.3 ypg). The Chiefs oppulent numbers during that 80-game span from 2001-05 are also the league's best in the following seven categories: offensive TDs (262), rushing TDs (131), total first downs (1,760), Red Zone TD percentage (64.1 percent), runs of 10+ yards (312), passing yards per attempt (7.83) and passing yards per completion (12.61). The foundation for Kansas City's offensive onslaught was established in 2001 when Kansas City finished the year ranked in the NFL's top 10 in rushing, passing and total offense for just the second time since the AFL-NFL merger.
That season, Holmes led the NFL in rushing with 1,555. I dont see any stats to prove the article true. saunders came out of the gate, QB, RB, FB, TE, OL have all suceeded getting to the probowl. Imagine if he had the personnel the skins have.

No need to imagine any longer my friend...the shit is ON!

They really weren't a playoff team??

That doesn't even deserve a response.

I take issue with the idea that Gregg Williams "has done more with less". Even on paper, Washington has one of the best secondaries in the league, a very solid linebacking core(minus Holdman), and probably the most underrated defensive tackle in the league in Griffin. With the talent they've added, the defense should be even more potent next season.

Sure hope that same person reviews us next year. Last year's team wasn't really a Super Bowl Champion team.....
I say they got the assistant to the assistant of mop and broom maintenance at Giant Stadium to give that quality review.

Next year, I'd be suprised if he was even writing for the same organization next year.

Yeah, I really wonder who made those comments. Someone from within the NFC East supposedly made the remarks. It sounds like a player, rather than a coach.

Sounds like something T.O. would say. Remember, he conveniently missed out of the first Eagle game.

Whoever it was should ask Tampa Bay if we were a playoff team.

The chiefs offense was ranked 4th in 2001, and thats with their number 1 receiver, eddie kennison, only playing 5 games...their top receiver that year, besides gonzalez, was Marvin Minnis who only got 33 catches for 511 yards and 1 td. It was also Trent Green's and Priest Holmes' first year on the team. If we have the 4th place offense next year, and it takes 2 years to get good at the system, other teams better really watch out

I have a question because you guys know alot more about football than I. Do you guys realy think that they are throwing out Gibbs O book and completly moving to saunders system? If they do mix the systems will terms change to match Saunders system or can they keep some of Gibbs terms and some of Saunders. I just don't see them changing the whole system and changing all the play calling.
