Us Against the world

What’s going on Skins fan? Man, it’s truly us against the world. Everybody and their momma are picking us to get blown out against the New England Patriots. I guess I didn’t get the memo to be on that bandwagon. People might say I’m smoking something, which could be true, or I could be a blind diehard Skins fan. I won’t deny either LOL. I don’t want to come out here and talk about spreads and us being competitive, which to me makes no sense to talk about. I’m here to tell you that we are winning this game. Let me tell you why.

First off, our defense isn’t the Bills, Jets, Cowboys, Bengals, Dolphins, Chargers and Browns. We have the 3rd best defense in the league. The last time I checked those squads don’t play real defense. Secondly, we have an awesome secondary. We got Springs, Rogers, Smoot, Landry, and Taylor. Springs likes playing in the slot and Welker isn’t good enough to beat Shawn Springs. Randy Moss will get double teamed (nobody in the league can play Moss man-to-man) with Taylor probably overtop. Finally you got the speedster Dante Stallworth; he’s the most interesting match up. I think we might see if he can beat us. But hey we’ll probably play a lot of cover 2 anyway; it’s worked great this year so far. Besides, it ain’t like Ben Watson is going to be playing. Watson is basically their down the middle threat, so we don’t have to worry about that. Finally we have Joe Gibbs. I think bunch of people have forgotten that Joe does his best work when people are underestimating his team. Like the scabs, during the strike year, when we beat up on the Cowboys in 87. Even the Broncos that year were favored to beat our tails in the Superbowl. We all know what happen in that game. We are going into enemy territory and all we have is our balls and our word (sorry it’s a Scarface quote; it sounded good). So let’s just put our faith in Joe! He’s never steered us wrong. He has made the Redskins acknowledgeable again. The media can talk about Coach Belicheck all they want, but he ain’t nothing compared to Joe. Besides I don’t know about you all but I’m sick and tired on hearing about the Patriots like we are some JV squad.

Yeah the offense played bad last week but the so called analysts fail to realize that we had a make shift offensive line. My man Rabach is back and that will help our offense. Jason Campbell has played great football. The media and many football fans probably would’ve talked about our offense differently if Santana Moss and others would have held on to the ball against Green Bay. Perception and reality is a dangerous game. Our offense isn’t as bad as the stats show. We know that Santana won’t drop passes all day and we know that it’s a matter of time till CP carries our squad like he did 2 years ago. So if the Patriots are sleeping on our offense then let’em. This ain’t a game this is war for some respect. And we are going to just take it. Redskins nation it’s time to stand together and unite this week. Because I say the Patriots and the nation will not be eating humble pie, but instead they will be eating some good ole fashion crow.

I agree Re: Campbell. A lot of the little stuff he wasn't doing before the bye is being done now. It's safe to say that he's now consistently completing 60% of his passes on a weekly basis. That's all a QB really has control over. Sure he didn't get a lot of chances against Arizona to make the big play, but he did his job in the face of some pretty serious pressure.

The rest of the offense has to make sure that drives are sustained, and that Campbell gets to throw more than 20 passes in a game.

I agree too.. I was wondering same thing when I see Redskins fans picking Patriots against us.. I'm college student, which means I meet lot of people who re football fans.. Every time I talked about Redskins, they all told me, "OHH NE Patriots will win in blowout game!!" Even though I tried to explain them about our D and the abilities our O have.. But they won't bother to listen me.. So you guys cannot blame me for wanting and believing in a victory this sun..

p.s. we might see Randy Moss walking off the field early :)

Like I said mn it's us against the world. Not if but when we win a lot of people are going to talk about the Skins like they need to. They talk about us as an afterthought but after this week that will change!

I agree that this is a much better match up than a lot people think. I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said before, but our D is the best the Pats have faced this season and matches up well with them; with everyone under the sun marking this down as an easy win for the Pats, even they might be tempted to look past us at Indy; our offense has been just one click off from firing up - if this ends up being the week when receivers start hanging onto balls, everyone might just be in for a shock; and - as someone else pointed out - Joe Gibbs is a cagey coach - we can't rule out the possibility that he's been holding parts of the game plan back just for this game. Going up against "number one" brings out the desire to win like nothing else, especially for competitive people like Gibbs.

So, does this mean an easy win for us? No, of course not. New England probably is the top team in the NFL this season, so it will be a challenge to win. It will also require a few things going our way, like having our receivers finally hang onto balls, getting a turnover from the Pats, eliminating our turnovers, an emotional high for us, and possibly a little let down for the Pats. If we get those breaks, I think we will win. If we don't, I still think it'll be a lot closer than people think. Even if we don't get the breaks we need and lose, I think our D will actually show the rest of the league how you beat the Pats and will have every defense coordinator facing New England snuggled down to watch our game film.

You are right, but we still cannot play one whole game of football, we can be good first half, but gone in the second. thats our problem. Beating ourselves

This is a perfect spot to be, nobody gives us respect. If you think that this type of lack of respect won't lite a fire, wait till you see the results. Now if Joe could get fired up like the Detroit game, that would be priceless!!!

I couldn't agree more. REDSKINS SHOCK PATS Just think back to the opening game this year against Philadelphia. Remember they surveyed the USA and every state in the country picked the Skins to lose. History repeats itself. Don't be a pessimist

just to let you know......rogers can't cover stallworth....he got burned badly last year

Hmm you brought interesting point..... that was "last year". Rogers is playing better ball than he did last year.
