Unless I slipped into a coma and missed a few weeks, aren't we tied for first in the division and 3-1? All I am seeing is what's wrong with the way Lavar is being used, is Portis better than Bell, more Lavar, are we using Portis correctly.. We're a flawed team, no question, but let's enjoy something positive out of the Redskins rather than always looking for negativity...

Wow, what a breath of fresh air...
This definitely IS another Ramsey situation. Just chill people, we all were pissed about that move and look how it worked out.
3-1 and if all goes well 4-1 by Sunday. And if we ARE 4-1, remember who comes to town NEXT week...

Just because we are 3-1 doesn't mean there aren't any issues that need to be resolved. I for one would like to see us run on 3rd-and-1, improvement on special teams (Dante Hall could have a big day if we don't get our act together). As for LaVar, I really don't care either way.

I hear you and I agree there seems to be alot of doom and gloom for our first place team ...but I can see why people still see the sky falling, for every good, there is a bad, and that can cause a few people to panic.
We got the 5th ranked Defense - we are 2nd to last in turnovers and we can't buy a sack
We are putting up a ton of yards on offense- we are only scoring 15 points a game
The Brunell fiasco has died down and Joe made the right choice - the lavar drama is an uncontrollable wild fire!
We are 3-1 - we barely won all three games
We are at the top of our division - Cowboys/Giants/Philly is breathing down our neck.
So after all that, I can see why one would be negative ...

:grouphug: :thumb: that's it!!!! seems to me that the team is not the only one who needs to learn how to be a winner. we have to lose this sky is falling attitude.we are coming along as a team. becomeing a force to reckon with. a work in progress. but the media around here is sooooooooooooooo negative that even when there is nothing to be negative about they will make something up.:food-smil :headbange :biggthump thanks for the thread.

Thats funny I was just getting ready to start a new thread about something positive. If we would have known that the skins would be winning and playing this way one week before the season started we would have been ecstatic. Ok, not evrything is perfect but each week I see our O playing better ball against better teams. So our D gave up some runs but they are playing excelent D again this year. We finaly have a passing game that teams have to respect and we know what that will do for Portis. The D already has the respect and we have not even got rolling this year and to top it off we have one of the best coaching staffs in the NFL that know how to build on an improving team.

56Fan is right! I think alot of Redskins fans has had so much to complain about for so many years that some will try to find something to complain about even when things are going well.
