The most excitement in asingle game was the monday night miracle in 05. That was like...unreal.
I'm with you on that. This is the most positive I've felt about our direction and roster though.
HTTR!

I agree with hess. However, even though there is still alot of football to be played I haven't felt this way since '91. Even in '91, at the age of 13 going on 14 I didn't really understand what was going on but I just knew they would win every game. I know they were better than everyone else but I didn't know why I felt like that. Now at the age of 31, with a better understanding of the game it scares me to feel this way. I've spouted off at the mouth with "we'll do this and that" but I REALLY feel like they can win against any team in the league right now but I'm trying to keep a level head about this. I don't get too caught up in the rankings and all because all I know is that EVERYONE picked the Skins to be last in the division. They were called the doormats of the East. I want the analysts to keep on putting the next opponent on a pedastal only for the Skins to knock them down. I hope they can be there when it's all said and done with The Danny holdin up the Lom.... sorry.
Philly is up next week. It's only week 5 but it feels like 1991 all over again.
Hail To The Redskins !!!

The Return of the Gibbs.
I'm somewhere in between euphoric and cautious. I'm thrilled with how the team is playing and there is every indication they will continue to play well. However, it's week 5, we got killed in week 1, and it's a long season.

The thing that makes me fell good about the Redskins thus far is play calling, and execution. If a team has good play calling, but can't execute, they will not go anywhere. That is something that excites me, and makes me feel very good about this season. Having said that, its only week 5.

To be honest I am not extremely excited yet. Now if we beat Philly, then I am ready to say I am pleased. As of now the only really "upset" in my mind was beating Dallas. If we can beat two powerhouses, on the road, two weeks in a row then I am ready to start feeling great about us.

The second coming of Joe Gibbs. I just felt like FINALLY we have a chance and we're headed in the right direction. I feel that way now too.

I'm thrilled with Zorn and am convinced he is the right coach for us. I'm also convinced we have a darn good team, a great future at QB, and am extremely excited. That said, this division is still ridiculously brutal. I need to see us get to 6-2 by the midpoint to feel really really good about the prospects this season.
Luckily we face the Rams, Lions and Browns after we play the Eagles.
Very hopeful, but the fear of a let-down is ever-present.

This kind of Skins optimism is just asking for a smack down. I'm not ready to be so thrilled. Philly is only game 5... One day at a time.
I agree! This thread would be good if say we had clinched a playoff birth. This is still a young team at HC and QB there will be some growing pains coming up.
