Underdogs?

I say the team is going to be so thirsty for more of the good feeling they are getting from winning games that they are going to somehow pull this one out! Just think how good MOST of us are feeling to be 3-0, I can only imagine how good it feels to be a player on the team knowing you're 3-0.

I'd put us at 10 point underdogs, it doesn't affect the outcome.

Playing in Denver alone gives them the edge. I have no confidence in their defense and their QB is nothing to talk about. Not much can be said about their running game either. We should win an ugly one I reckon.

Yea I agree that Denver has a pretty good home field advantage. But like in my other post on another thread as long as we limit our mistakes and turnovers we will be able to hang with any team in the NFL. Being a 7 point underdog means nothing to me other than some dude sitting in an office somewhere reading and trying to interpret statistics and personnel on paper. If the line was correct every week wouldnt alot of people make alot of money week in and week out? I think that the Redskins as underdogs win this game by ball control, clock running, and long third down conversions, Oh wait, thats how we beat the Seahawks. Anyways, skins win 21-14.

7 is a big spread, I would expect that to come down a bit as the week goes on.

Man, I just watched ESPN - Stuart Scott, Tom Jackson (whom I liked to watch when I was kid), Jaws, and Michael Irvin. Boy did they piss me off!!!!

Basically the segment started with are the Redskins for real? Then Stuart Scott starts the conversation off by saying, "well technically they are 3-0"....and the other three guys just about fell out of their chair laughing because he said "technically".

After they finally settled down, Tom Jackson went on to say how he thinks they are still a joke (paraphrase) and have been for some time. He went on to say that they've only beaten the Bears w/ a QB that has never played a professional game. How we played poorly against Dallas for 55 minutes and beat a mediocre Seattle team that no one respects.

Jaws, bless his ignorant heart, backed us up some - but the only thing he could come up with was some old ass Sean Taylor footage from last year and went on to say he's the tempo setter for the defense. I couldn't believe it!! I mean every highlight he showed Taylor was wearing #36 - what a joke!!

Irvin, yes Michael Irvin was the only one who said he felt we had a great Defense, and reiterated great twice because he drew groans from Jackson and Scott. He went on to say that we could only play who's on the schedule, and that 3-0 is 3-0!

Here's what get's my goat. When we beat Dallas it was we played poorly for 55 minutes. When we beat Seattle they gave us the game - when the reverse was actually true. We dominated Seattle damn near all of three quarters, let them back into it, and pulled out the win. It's amazing how the media twists the story to suit their view.

I agree we must split with Denver and KC. Once again, this game will be harder than KC. Denver has so far played better than the Chiefs, and I am not worried about Bailey telling any secrets to his teamates, mainly because there is nothing left(system or style of play) from his time here. That thin air could wear us out, hopefully the team can stay fresh, and keep their offense off of the field.

KC also has a good home field advantage, but their defense is weak, and their offense isn't the same as it was last year. Right now I am not afraid of anyone at runningback. After we played a hard nosed against two of the top runningbacks in our last two games.

Yeah, I'm watching the same shit. They then started another discussion. "Whose better, the Redskins, the Dolphins or the Bears?" No joke. I'm gonna go shoot myself now.

So basically Irvin comes up with the most logical statement "3-0 is 3-0 and all we can do is play who's on the schedule"

Yeah, Super Genius......like Wyle E. Coyote!!!
