Reality is this is a very good team. I know it's almost too good to believe but we should really enjoy this. It's been a long time since we've been this good. '99 was the last time the team started 4-1, but I remember that year our defense was horrible, so this year feels much different. It's a more complete team.
It's a good time to be a Skins fan. A good time indeed.
this year thus far has a real nice feel to it thats for sure and for me i,m just taking it all in and hope it continues...down 14 they just chipped away and then they turned it on shows me that they have a alot of maturity and a close knit team. they also like to play for zorn too. i,m still feeling a bit zorny..hip hip hooray - hip hip hooray - hip hip hooray..
keep it up boys..

I just heard on ESPN that Brian Westbrook fractured a couple of ribs in the game yesterday, sorry, no link on this yet. I'm sure it will come up as another excuse as to why the Eagles lost.

Horton's whiff on Reggie Brown was pretty bad though. I'll chalk that up to being a rookie mistake.
D. Thomas needs to get his head in the game. His penalties week in and week out are adding up.
I still can't believe the refs blew the whistle on ARE. I thought that should have been a TD. I don't see where he got touched at all.
That's what I'm saying people these games were a bad call or a bounce of the ball here or there of being blowouts. In reality we manhandled the eagles.

I note that some of the Eagles' fans boards are filled with whining about how they should have won, Reid has lost it as a coach, McNabb has no touch, etc. Do these guys realize that but for two blown calls by the officials -- one which allowed for the return TD and another that negated a Randle El TD by calling him down -- the score of the game is 30-10? I guess not.
It was an impressive win for the Skins. We have a real coach and a real QB, a lead RB that wants to put the hurt on people, and a defense that wants not just to bend, but force 3 and outs every series (including 5 in a row yesterday!)
Now they just need to keep their heads and go about their business.

You're right Matty, it is a good time to be a Skins fan. Redskin fans in this area have their cars decked out with Redskin flags and such. My girlfriend called me from Virginia Beach today to tell me about this car that had" The cowboys suck and the eagles do too" on the back windshield. It's nice to run into people you don't know with their Skins gear on, and see smiling faces, and have happy conversations about how well this team is doing. I use to take up for the Skins when I only half believed what I was saying. I don't have to do that anymore. This feels so good. The Washington Redskins are a good team. People KNOW it, instead of HOPE it. It is a good time to be a Skins fan.

skins had a real coach last year,winning 3 sbs is tough.i think coach zorn just sees and feels the nfl of the modern era a lot better than coach gibbs did.like i stated before,i don't think gibbs could have taken this year's team on the road and play like the skins have the last 2 weeks.

Gibbs built this team. He made the Skins a family again and gave us our heart back. Zorn is just making it beat...

I remember when folks were saying that we would be lucky to be 3-2 and more likely we would be 2-3. Well how do you like us now!!!
