I Kinda Wish The Season Was Over

It is tough.
I don't really know why, but the ST murder has affected me more than I would have imagined. As some others have already stated, it makes no sense since I did not know him.
THAT having been said, I agree with SBF (in principle), there is much............"don't want to go on with the rest of season" type of thing. And SBF is correct, as ST would be about kickin' the Bears ass, and everybody else's ass the rest of the season. From what we have seen on the field, and people have said that knew him, he was the ULTIMATE competitor. I hope the rest of the organization can model his attitude.

I see where yall are coming from when you say you're ready for the season to be over.

I'm so addicted to the games that I don't want the season to ever end. Love basketball but something feels off come february.

If I knew the rest of the season would be like the bills game I would definitely wish it over. On the other hand, like many here I'm hoping that this team feeds off raw emotion & unites itself & plays w/passion & honor to win the rest of the games. That's what keeps me watching.

Sadly, last sunday was too much of a familiar reality coupled w/tragedy surrounding it. Our team played no differently, though you can hardly blame them given what they've been through.

funerals are to give the living closure. Let's hope that the team got that closure & can now truly play for Sean as they accept the loss. When you experience a loss you eventually have to return to your job & life's duties, so it is for these guys who can heal themselves in part by playing football & especially by winning.

the way i see it after tonights game we have 3 games left in our season so we are on the short roads.

football is what keeps us going...

I know this may sound a little cliche', but if you care at all about Sean Taylor or give a damn about his legacy, this type of thought wouldn't even enter your mind. Win or Lose, Sean played with passion and intensity. Did you ever see him take off a play? When the chips were down last year and our Defense was abysmal, he elevated his play to make the pro bowl with his best season to date. He never once complained about how the season was a wash or that he needed a pass rush to relieve the pressure off of the secondary. This is the type of person who never used excuses or hid behind circumstances. He just bashed some heads on every play. In that spirit I hope that we play every game like we have something at stake (even if there isn't).

The show MUST go on!

Also practically, if we drop out of playoff contention and become lackadaisical in the end, we are going to be screwed for next year. Typically teams that have good seasons after a non-playoff year, finish out their previous losing season strong. The players need that kind of an emotional boost in order to motivate them to get better in the offseason. The media tends to be less critical of a team that showed signs of life at the end of the season and I don't care what they say, the players DEFINITELY read the papers and watch TV in the offseason. Plus, Win, Lose or Draw, I love watching Redskins play.

In a way, I hear what you're saying 12thMan. There's something kind of anticlimactic about this season now. I'm still looking forward to them playing the last four games and seeing how they progress, but overall I'm just not in the mood for sports. I've been trying to avoid watching any sports this week (until tonight's game)...which you can imagine is pretty close to impossible for me.

Still holding onto the hope we actually make the playoffs though. Until we get eliminated officially, I'll still believe

I tell ya, one of the only major obsticles for an 8-8 playoff birth is a win over Minnesota. While I wouldn't deem this likely, it's certainly something we have control over.

Tellya what, a playoff berth or even a strong finish would definitely have a balming affect on the team, the city, and the fans.
