Springs will bounce back and have a great year.

Because he almost didn't play this year. He was on the fence about retiring. I think he's done after this year. He has a lot going on with his family and he's drained.

Springs will play as long as his body will hold up. But will the organization pay him the amount he's making for around 11-13 games a year? He needs to show that he can play a good amount of games and right now he's already missed two. When he's on the field he's our best corner.

Bullseye. Add to that an $ 8.4M cap number and a guy who probably won't renegotiate, this is his last year here.

Thanks Buster. Last week I was pretty close too. Now if I could just get a few games right in Don's Prediction League I'd be money. LOL

I can understand your excitedness over this year's wins especially the one over the cowgirls, but make no mistake..Reid and company will have an answer to JC's no-turnover season. Philly's D ranks first in sacks (17) and third in total ypg (245). There are also 5 fumbles recovered of 7. Im not stating who will win, but that sunday's game marks the beginning of JC turnovers.
Some Note Worthies:
1. Some good match ups to watch are JJ vs. Juqua Parker (DE) and the reverse, Carter vs. Tra Thomas. Who will own who?
2. True, DeSean Jackson IS good for one bone head play sunday. But be honest, hasnt he performed better than most rookie WRs this year, if not most vets?
3. Buckhalter is no Westbrook. I needn't say more.

Hurry up Sunday, we can't wait any longer.

So your ready for your CROW SANDWICH!!!!

So now that your Sunday went to shit in a hand basket, after we beat the shit outta the iggles. I would have to stick my neck out there and guess your Monday isn't much better...?

But in all fairness you did not specify what Sunday you where in a hurry for, I'm sure it wasn't the one YESTERDAY WHEN THE SKINS SPANKED THE IGGLES LIKE A RED HEADED STEP CHILD.....?

You won't be in such a hurry for the next matchup that goes down in DC 12/21, or you shouldn't be.....we are really gonna kick the shit outta the iggles then!

Did anyone read the story about the egging of the team bus? Here was one of the comments Cooley made:

"Even all the fans after the game were flipping [us] off, and we had a couple guys that were gonna moon 'em," Cooley said on Elliot. "We were flipping 'em off back. Our windows are so tinted, I really don't think they can see us."

I know this happens all the time. However, I don't think it's exactly smart to talk about it though. Im surprised the press hasn't jumped on his statement yet.

I never thought I'd be happy to see a bye week for the Redskins. I was so stressed out watching the Redskins beat the Cowboys, then turn around and be just as stressed when the 'Skins beat the Iggles. I enjoyed every minute of those games, but I need a rest. In all the past years I hated bye weeks because if the 'Skins didn't play, I had to watch another game. Imagine how Jim Zorn and the players must feel if the games affect me this much.

R u considering St. Louis a bye? The skins don't have a bye this week.

I don't know if anyone posted this, but apprently Dirty 30 and Chris Horton were the rib-breaking culprits...

Listening to Riggins a couple of days ago, I was struck by the following:
According to Riggo, the Cowboys cannot and will not get it done, even though they have better talent than the Skins.
JR says "you sleep with the devil, you lose your soul. To many bad guys, that are all about themselves". THEY DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES....per John
According to John "whether they go 7-1 and one in the next stretch or not the Skins have it. THEY HAVE A TEAM. If they do not do it this year, they're just not quite ready. If not this year, SOON. You see, there is maturation process to being a world Champion. The Pat's get it."

I think Romo is their problem. He's always good for at least one dumb turnover per game and he's just not the type of player to grab the team by the horns and put them on his back. He's definitely no Troy Aikman that's for sure. Until he matures I don't see them winning a SB anytime soon.

[Hog1]

No Aikman for sure! Aikman was HARD to shake 200 ypg, 2 td, 0 int....every game, and kick your ass with Emitt on the side.
I can believe what Riggo says if you look at the presumed state of the team pre-skins defeat and now. It's like the wheels are coming off a little. Now it's Wades fault.
We have Santana telling JC "Man, this is the most fun I ever had......BLOCKING"
They have TO telling the media, "You know how it is. I get the ball we win! I don't, we lose"
If you have bad guys, you better have a bad ass, like Parcells to control it
