It's cliche I know, but champions are made in the off season.
The team made the 2 biggest moves a team can make to be a winner.
Hired a great coach, and picked up a great QB.
after the past 10 years, you can say that and keep a straight face. championship teams are built, and sustained, not bought and pimped. Maybe shanahan and allen are making the right moves, maybe we make 9+ wins, but as of now, we are simply off-season champs for the 4th year in a row. hopefully it will turn out better than 4-12.
and no offense, but this is a retarded thread when we don't even have a starting left tackle yet.

DonoShan???
That's HORRIBLE, God forbid people start calling them that.
Yeah I've always found those names really lame, it all started with Benifer BEN AND JEN and its never stopped since. People think its cool or clever.

Quarterbacks provide a lot of utility to the team. That doesn't mean they can turn water into wine. But laymen love the "he's like Jesus" metaphor, no matter how silly it is.
Super Bowl teams have players who can make enough plays from to win it all. Where it comes from, it depends. There is not enough playmakers to go be so certain of a playoff run this year. A transitioning defense means growing pains as they learn it, which means plays that hurt the team. An unproven O-line coach and unproven O-linemen means that we don't know how much of a foundation McNabb has to stand on.
I believe that Shanny+McNabb is going to be an excellent combo, but they aren't going to be miracle workers.

I'm not a fan of the DonoShan.
Someone came up with Shanovan Era. It just sound better.

Agreed. "Redskins Ride the Shanovan to Super Bowl Title" sounds better

How about we get a left tackle before we talk playoffs?
And a right tackle, and some guards, and a safety. I think that in previous years playoffs would have been a no, but in the east the eagles have gotten worse, as have new york, so we have a chance to move up. plus we play the rams and lions this year. We do have a tough schedule however with three solid NFC north teams and 4 afc south teams we could lose to. My guess is we are 9-7/10-6 with a chance going into the last week.
