SkinItup 02-08-2012, 02:50 AM Sadly, I think it's true. Losing to the Skins is a really good motivating force... LOL! I could see that. firstdown 02-08-2012, 11:13 AM If I'm correct the Giants last SB run started off beating use in week 4 after loosing 3 in a row. skinsguy 02-08-2012, 11:22 AM Actually, wasn't it the Patriots' second Super Bowl run that started out with the Redskins beating them early in the season? After that, they won the rest of their games and went on to beat the Panthers (I think it was) in the Super Bowl. freddyg12 02-08-2012, 12:13 PM just saw this on Steinberg's blog: Brian Mitchell on the Redskins and ‘loser talk’ - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/brian-mitchell-on-the-redskins-and-loser-talk/2012/02/07/gIQAzXDywQ_blog.html) we've won more against super bowl champs of the past 12 years than anyone else. When you combine that w/the fact that we've lost the last 8 straight to starting rookie qb's, it really makes the 'curse' talk seem for real! EARTHQUAKE2689 02-08-2012, 02:35 PM If I'm correct the Giants last SB run started off beating use in week 4 after loosing 3 in a row. Week 3 after they lost two in a row. redskins5044 02-08-2012, 02:46 PM That has always been the redskins problem over the years, play up or down to their opponents. freddyg12 02-08-2012, 02:47 PM Actually, wasn't it the Patriots' second Super Bowl run that started out with the Redskins beating them early in the season? After that, they won the rest of their games and went on to beat the Panthers (I think it was) in the Super Bowl. 2003-4 season, Champ Bailey (remember him?!) forced a fumble late in the game that sealed it as I recall. We were 3-1 after that & the Ole Ball Coach had us believin. Paintrain 02-08-2012, 11:13 PM This thread is embarrassing. We were 5-11. But Rex said we were 'a damn good 5-11', does that make it better.

Pretty good stat illustrating the lack of consistency over the years.
