Redskin Football

Folks,

This is why the Redskins have a four game winning streak and a chance to wrap up a playoff spot next week. We're playing good ol' fashioned smash mouth Redskins football. This is what us older guys have been trying to tell the younger guys. When it is clicking on all cylinders, you can't stop it even when you're expecting it. The strong run game opens up the play action passes (as seen with Brunell to Moss in the first half.) Of course, having guys like Moss on your team really helps your chances. I haven't felt this good about the Redskins since the 80's...and yes that does also include our 1999 season. :biggthump

Amen!

Nice post skinsguy, I just want to know do the non-believers, the ones who said Gibbs can't handle this new NFL that the game had passed him by, do they believe now?

I'm one of the young guys who was doubting Gibbs in the beginning, but I'm man enough to tell you that I was wrong. He's got this team peaking at the right time. He's switched it up enough to get Portis going. I'm no longer waiting for the bottom to fall out, I just expect them to win now and this is only the second time in my life that I can remember feeling that way.

The other time was 99. That season wasn't nearly this sweet though.

What's great about these wins is that the Skins are outplaying the other team, not winning on a fluke play or a bad call. Gibbs was always known for having his teams ready to play in December, when it really counts, and it looks like this year is no exception.

They are playing their best football of the year now. I honestly thought they were finished 5 games ago, but I was dead wrong and I'm more than happy to be able to admit that I was.

Kudos to Joe and his staff, to the entire team (especially Ramsely who stepped up to the plate in a tough situation and did great) and to the 12th man (you can be heard loud and clear on the boob tube).

Just one more hurdle to jump and the finish line is in sight. I honestly believe they will take the Division now. This loss will take a lot out of the Giants and they have to fly across the country and take on the Raiders.

did you just call me an old guy?the key to winning football is running(smash mouth)the ball and time of possesion.if you dont believe me,just ask coach gibbs

Woohoo!

well i feel i have loved the way we have been playing and i think skins fans kept the faith but we are all so scared that we can't even say we will win next week because once we say it it will dissapear.

Being 17 i don't remeber the good days. the first time in my life that i think our team can do something

skins were solid today. they are playing as a team. We want Philly!

I believe we can beat Philly and I don't feel the Redskins are going into that game overly confident. However, Gibbs has lit a fire underneath this team, and you can see it in guys like Portis. I remember people several weeks back saying how Portis would get hit once and he would be down. Look at his effort now! This is why I am such a big Redskins fan and Joe Gibbs fan. I live to see the smash mouth football and the attitude that we're going to run the football down your throat and we don't care if you see it coming or not.
