You make a good point, TMC. The Giants grabbed a lot of secondary depth obviously to counter our speedy wideout options. On the flip side, were the 'Skins offseason moves made as a counter to any of the other specific teams perceived weaknesses? I don't think so, in fact it looks to me that the other NFC teams have us in their sights not last year's "division champs".
But a Giants fan could easily say their secondary sucked and was bunned on numerous occasions, not just agaisnt Moss and Company. I understand where you guys are coming from, but it could also be viewed in another way.

I know what you mean but it still looks to me that we appear to be looking (slightly) behind us at the other NFC East teams.
On a side note, did anybody read the comments at the bottom of the Jon Jansen article? Check out who wrote in his opinion on the second comment.
All teams gear their rosters towards their division and conference rivals.
Especially within the division since those games are so critical.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty crazy. Looks like ol' Mr. Brown still keeps in contact with Redskins news.

I guess that is what I am going at, we are improving our team as well to do well in the NFC East. But I guess since we were 5-1 in the division, the teams that didn't do well in the division, made more moves to counter us...
I wonder if the team is still trying to bring Ray back as a coach. I know it was discussed at the end of the season. I think he would be a great guy to have around the team.

Ray's comment was well worded and he brought up good points. He seems like he is educated in the game quite well, maybe he wouldn't make a bad coach.

What happened to the attitude of respecting your opponents, instead of trying to tear them down? Bill Parcells is a great coach and a fine person, and no one deserves to be dehumanized like this.
The Redskins wouldn't be the Redskins without worthy opponents like Bill Parcells over the years to be challenged by.Respect them we have Taylor to spit on them.

Wow. If you can't make fun of the coach of the Dallas Cowboys on a redskins fan site, where can you?
Anywho--I wonder if this will affect the TO situation. There will be no buffer between Parcells and TO when it comes to play calling, and we know both of them can get pretty testy out there.
The NFC East is a beast--but what more could you want? 6 kick ass games, with the best team standing looking good for the playoffs. If you can win here, you can win against anyone.

I know everyone is LOVING the NFC East being back, but tell me you REALLY wouldn't love to see the Skins totally ream the division for a couple years Eagles-style before we all got competitive.
At least I would. It would be good for my heart.
