Brian Westbrook Meeting with Redskins on Wednesday

My hope, my dream, my fantasy: Redskins win the SB on a clutch 4th quarter pass from McNabb to Westbrook. McNabb gets SB MVP.

Philly implodes in a cesspool of bitter frustation.

lol that would be so classic

Better yet, how about McNabb to Westbrook also beats the Eagles in the NFC Championship! Oh the horror

All this is good, but what I really want to know is how does TO fit in? ;)

The only thing that would be better is if we were playing Philly in the SB.:)

That might be a little tough to do.

I am torn - Do I want the Eagles to make it to the NFC Championship only to lose to a McNabb to Westbrook TD pass with time expiring?

- OR -

Do I want them to stink miserably the entire year as Kolb demonstrates he is the second coming of Bobby Hoying?

My biggest fear, of course, is that every time I wish ill upon the Eagles or rejoice in their failures - they seem to do better just to spite me.

Easy, option #1.

Nothing would tear that city's heart out more than that.

I want the Eagles to lose the tiebreaker for the 6th seed to us at 8-8, based on a comeback victory on-the-road by McNabb in Philly, leading to an eventual series split and 3-3 division record.

Then the Redskins go on to do *some* damage as road warriors in the playoffs, which Philly did for years with McNabb.

Obviously, I don't think the team is good enough to push for the super bowl, but as a complete pretender in the NFC Championship game after upsetting Minnesota and Dallas on the road in the postseason, I'd take 4th place. The best 10-9 season in NFL history.

Feel free to dream big GT. It's the offseason, loosen up baby.

MS seems pretty high on getting BW:

"We want him to sign with us," Shanahan said. "Like I said, it could be some great competition. I really like Brian, what he's done and how he's handled himself. I'm sure he's weighing some options. It's not too far away from home. Any more I can do?"

Shanahan was reminded that Westbrook's younger brother Byron plays cornerback for the Redskins. "I've played that card already," Shanahan said.
Seriously, if Byron is even a small part of the reason that Brian comes here, somehow, words won't express the weirdness I will feel for having been critical of keeping Byron on the roster all these many years

Feel free to dream big GT. It's the offseason, loosen up baby.Hey, for me, that's optimism.

Someone's going to end up in a playoff game well out of their league, so why not us?

For all you speculators....I really don't think Bryon Westbrook makes the final roster...it will sure suck if we keep him vs. a better player just to not piss off Brian.

The real issue is this....what does he want more...playoff action or playing with folks he knows in his old hometown against the team that cut him.

I really don't think the skins or the broncos are a playoff team, but the broncos are in a better situation to pull it off due to competition....and he gets more opportunities for TD's. With the Skins, he'd essentially be playing for 1st downs on 3rd and long.
Who really knows what he wants? And keep in mind...no one knows the contract terms that are floating around....if I were westbrook, I'd look at the Broncos and Skins as an even situation, and I'd give the advantage to the team with the longest term offer.
I would be very happy if we land him since there is a gap in our roster in terms of pass catching RBs, but if we don't get him, I won't cry...

But I am not seeing any young RB on the squad that is worth keeping yet...and I am not sold on Parker yet....so to me, Westbrook is a great option if we can pull it off.
