Has the buzz begun?

Also from the Worldwide (Bill Simmons):The Redskins can move the chains, play defense and make 2-3 big plays downfield per game. The number of NFC teams that can do all three of those things is exactly zero, which means I'll be taking the Redskins seriously from this point on.

That was one of the articles that made me post this thread.

Shhh don't tell anyone, but the Skins should only get better as Campbell settles in.

Im getting excited just reading this thread!

I heard the same thing a couple of different times on ESPN Radio today. Colin Cowherd at first admitted not being real impressed by the Redskins 2-0 record.

But then after hearing that the Skins are #1 in the NFC at converting 3rd downs, and #1 in the NFL at stopping opposing offenses on 3rd down, he was convinced that Washington is as good as advertised.

Mike Tirico and Scott Van Pelt (who has to be at least 7ft tall) both thought that they were for real.

We better not lose this weekend though, or all the praise will come to a screeching halt.

For our images sake I don't think we can afford to lose this weekend. For our teams sake this weekend should be a win and is the last time we can make a mark on the NFC East for a month or so. If we do lose this one I can't see it being a huge hit to our team with exception of moral. I don't think the Giants are going to go far this year so giving up a divisional win to them shouldn't be huge.

Off-topic: I was at the Bottle & Cork this summer during the US Open and Van Peasy rolled in LOADED. (Good for him - it was his day off). I thought it was odd, because big time golf was being played, and he's the big time golf guy.

we have to win this game. This game this weekend is the type of game we lost in the past. We have to win.

I don't really see this one as a MUST WIN game. Last week I believe was a must win, but this week it would be bad for moral if we lost but I don't think it's a must win.

A win Sunday will go a long way towards establishing a little of that elusive respect which we so often speak of, plus it gives us a two game advantage on both the Giants and Eagles in the division which is huge.

Salisbury said they were a well coached team with one of the best running games in the league, watch for them as a sleeper.

Skip Bayless had them winning the NFC East...at 8-8
is this guy as big of an ass as he seems to be? im not really looking for a response :)
