For everyone that didn't give up!

jsarno · 12-25-2007, 04:03 PM

The Redskins have rewarded our faith with an intensely important game in week 17. There have not been many of us that remained faithful and believed in the 07 Skins, but those that have...pat yourselves on the back. You are a solid reason why the Skins have been successful lately. Faith is a powerful thing.
I'm going to take the high road here. I could write a list of people (a long list mind you) that gave up on this team, and some that made threads about our demise, but instead of dwelling on that, I am inviting everyone to enjoy where we are RIGHT NOW. We have a chance to make the playoffs with only 1 more win. Win and you're in. It doesn't get much better than this. For as corny as this sounds, let's all join together and enjoy this as a whole as only we can do as the best fans on the planet.
I forgo any grudges I have on posters here that have been less than optimistic, and I look forward to ALL OF US enjoying a victory over hated Dallas to get into the playoffs. Who's with me?

As long as coach Gibbs is the coach, I never give up, ever!!

You don't have to name names, everyone knows who they are. I'm not much of a homer so I guess I'm in the list of unfaithful. A playoff birth is nice but I need and want a SB caliber team. Through all the excitement one needs to be mindful that the Skins are going to be a 9-7 team.

Gotta love football.

After it's all sad in done, we're playing a meaningful game during week 17. That's pretty awesome.

Let's go skins, it's DALLAS WEEK! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Only 1 team a year is happy at the end. The other 31 have to hope that next year will be "the year."

You are right, I want a SB...anything less is unacceptable.

Well since we already have three, you want us to win our fourth. And I don't know of one living ass thats a REDSKIN fan that also doesn't want that FOURTH SB TROPHY.

If anything other than the fourth SB title is "unacceptable" then IF the team you are suposed to be a fan of happens to come up short, then what does someone like yourself do?

The realist in me knows better but why should I accept anything less than a SB? I mean, that's what the game is played for isn't it? If they don't win I get terribly upset especially if they make the playoffs. I suppose I'm a different than most fans. I'm not a football fan, I'm not an NFL fan, I'm a Redskins fan and I could careless about everything else. If they don't win the SB it takes me until the start of next season to get over it.

Damn right Saden1 "We are a dangerous team!!!" We can do it

I thought about creating a thread based on our team's chances in the NFC. Assuming we make the playoffs, which I think we can, I'm confident that we can play well against every team represented. There was really only one team in which they truly showed us that they were the better team. We played a lot of mistake-laden football that cost us most of our games. Shooting ourselves in the foot was our theme this season for many games. It seems like we've settled down, provided decent running lanes, adequate pass protection, kept the ball and sustained drives. Our team is still loaded with talent on both sides of the ball in comparison with every team (in the NFC).

You might think I'm touting us as some powerhouse team, but I'm not. The NFC is weak, very weak. We're a decent team among other decent teams. We have a definite shot at running the table. Remembering our losses to Green Bay, New York and Dallas, we were in commmand until the wheels started to fall off. Two of those games were at their house on top of that. If those wheels stay on in our rematches against some of them, then victory is ours and not surprisingly so.

Oh, and I agree with this original post. A lot of people gave up a little too early for my taste but to each his own and let's all stand together and root for the Skins all the way to the final game.

I hate to use the word parody, but with todays NFL the difference between 9-7 and 16-0 is very slim when it comes to the playoffs...come out and have a bad day, and your done. Once the playoffs begin everyone is 0-0. Slip one time and your done! Now is the time to peak! Forget that we are 9-7....its trivial IF we beat Dallas. It doesnt matter what we were in November. We are playing our asses off now...one step from the post season...9-7 is past tense...the future is what we are!

Yeah, a 9-7 playoff team.

That's nothing to be ashamed about. Anything can happen in the playoffs and this team appears to be peaking at the right time.

Didn't the Steelers win the SB as the 6th seed?
