I seem to remember a lot of people licking their chops over the thought of Gregg Williams making life miserable for Chris Simms.
What could possibly make anyone think that our chances are so much better in St. Louis with Jamie Martin having all day to throw to Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt?
1. Because it is Jamie Martin
2. Because Holt and Bruce are less than 100%
3. Because, unlike the Bucs, the Rams have a God-awful defense
4. Because the Rams, as a team and organization, are an absolute mess

We will worry about that game when it gets here.
OK we lost the raiders at home, woooopty f'n do, i know they suck, i know we must look like we suck but we have played and won some tough games, one could even argue that we have beaten the top three NFC teams in the first 3 weeks of the season. I know we lost some that we 'should' have won but we lost some that we 'should' not have won. We aren't as bad as we seem, hopefully this week we show that
but bulger being out for the season.... oh oh oh oh hooooooo how unfortunate
you have to win those games.....no one get happy until the skins run off 3 in a row...until then, this back and forth losing, winning...no consitency....none

.....we completely disregarded Chris Simms, and look what he did to us. If we can't start putting pressure on the quarterback and hitting him continually (not once or twice the whole game). Then they're going to have a field day with us.

-- I might concede point #1, but remember, Chris Simms wasn't performing all that great either until he played the Redskins.
-- Bruce and Holt have been nicked up, but from what I've heard their status is improving. Judging by the way our defense has played at least in terms of pass rush and pass defense, I'd be concerned with those two receivers no matter what their physical condition is.
-- "Because, unlike the Bucs, the Rams have a God-awful defense." -- I wasn't referring to the Rams' defense in my original post. I responded to the notion that our chances will be better since Jamie Martin is playing and not Marc Bulger. Even so, the Raiders defense left much to be desired and stymied the Redskins throughout the game.
-- "Because the Rams, as a team and organization, are an absolute mess." -- OK, but that doesn't always translate on the field. Even teams that are considered an absolute mess can get it together on any given Sunday against an unsuspecting opponent. And I would dispute that the Rams are in shambles anyway.

Guys, the Skins never get blown out. Except for the G-men and 9ers the games have been close. Last year the close ones were what killed us, but this year it looks like we win more close ones then lose. If You look a the scores to date:
Chicago W 9-7
Dallas W 14-13
BYE WEEK
Seattle W (OT) 20-17
Denver L 19-21
Kansas City L 21-28
San Francisco W 52-17
NY Giants L 0-36
Philadelphia W 17-10
Tampa Bay L 35-36
Oakland L 13-16
We have a very good chance not only to run the rest of the season but also go far in the playoffs. It only takes a couple more TD's and we are a power house team. Don't look farward to the games we are gonna lose, but look farward to the teams we are gonna kill.

Bulger out doesn't hurt our chances of winning against STL. But the real task at hand is beating a tough San Diego team with perhaps the best RB in the NFL LT.
Can we do it? I sure hope so. Bucs were in the toilet a few weeks ago, hopefully we can climb back and make some things happen in these last 6 games. Alot of injuries, but key will be if Griffin makes it back and Farris and/or Brown contribute IMMEDIATELY! GO SKINS!
