That doesn't imply any acceptance of this team as being in its final state.

I'm with you 100% here. HTTR!

Not sure which on bothers me more. Hopefully Torain can go Monday. I know CP is done and Banks needs 1 more week, but does anyone know the status of Landrys achilles?

Brandon Banks--- WR--- Knee--- Limited Participation in Practice
LaRon Landry----- S--- Achilles--- Limited Participation in Practice
Clinton Portis---- RB--- Groin--- Limited Participation in Practice
Ryan Torain----- RB--- Hamstring--- Limited Participation in Practice

I just hope we win the damn game. If we can rattle off the next two weeks with W's , it should make the road to a playoff seed alot easier. We drop even one of them, say to 4-5, 5-5, or worse to 4-6, stick a fork in us, we're prolly done...............500 wont get us to the promised land, not even close.

If this team was built to "Win Now", then the next two weeks are the most important of this season. Two winnable games, and the team is as fresh as it will ever be.

Whatever happens the next two games I think will define what type of team we are. A struggling, underachieving team sliding by with cheap wins (sadly, Im leaning more this way), or a veteran, pressure savvy team with good coaching (hopefully).

I appreciate your valiant effort at trying to speak for me but... you're wrong. Some of us just want the Skins to compete for 4qtrs and beat teams that we should beat, especially when we get multiple turnovers, be it forced or handed to us. Some of us want to see solid winning football and not just because of the opponent's starters getting hurt or the opponent pissing the game away, period. But again your effort was noble.

Sometimes,our own fans don't have as much faith as they should...

Yea,we did lose to the Rams and Lions,but 3 of our 4 wins are against teams with 5 wins right now.
and 1 of those 3 has 6 wins.

and 3 of our 4 losses are against teams .500 or better. and 1 of those with 5 wins...

Not too bad for a team thrown together with a new coach on Offense,Defense,new QB and new defensive scheme imo...

Should we be better...? Sure
But we could also be the dallas cowboys as well.

If we can continue to win the HUGE games,we will be in good shape for a playoff run.

We should have beaten the Rams no doubt but those Lions with Stafford are a really good team, so I'm not too disappointed in that Lions loss.

We beat Dallas (very barely), and they are 1-7, nothing to get excited about.

Loss to Houston, we put up 27 points can't complain here. D steps it up we win this one. Lots of guys steped up and showed us some new found talent so I don't sweat this loss. Still early in the season.

Lost to the Rams, Hmmmm... not looking good, but could have been our off game, kinda like NE had against the Browns. OK I'll give them that loss. But we should have won this game.

We beat Eagles (barely), and they played without their starting QB, yes there is a great argument that we were up 14-0 when he went out and that cant be denied so OK I'll take that win but... Not still convinced.

We beat GB. Now we have something to get excited about, we beat a great team with Rogers at the helm. O and D were on all day. This is the kind of win that helps set teams in the right direction. This win instils confidence and can bring a team to life.

Colts 24-27 For Matty, I call this a losing win We hung with one of the best in the league. Team showed they can compete! Is this my Redskins?

Bears, Win. No excuses here. we won. OK we can compete.

The Lions were simply a better team that day. McNabb had a "off" Shanny had a "off" day. McNabb was benched and we went into the bye.

Now, looking at Monday Night against the Eagles. Vick is back and better than ever. not many injuries on their side and historically we split with them. best case scenario.

We have some key injuries in Banks, Landry, Portis and Torain. We are at home and McNabb needs to prove he is the superior QB vs Vick if he still cares about that after coming off the bench.

This is without a doubt the game that determines the reality of the Skins. We win with authority, we are legit and we go into the rest of the season full of confidence, all rumors are put aside and we can assume Shanny and McNabb have put things behind them.

We loss and the "I told you so" was right, and we enter into the toughest part of our schedule with the rumors flying and the QB situation front and center.

We have to win this game! HTTR.

You just described the first Eagles game.

If you simply surrender your baseless speculation about what would have happened if Vick had stayed in the game, you will see that you already got what you want.

The Skins offense had a R.I.P moment in the second half of the first Eagles game. Our running game is worse with now Torain and Portis both injured. Brandon Banks will probably not start as well, thus taking another of our equalizers off the field.

Also, McNabb was stuffed for under 150 yards passing in the first game. NOT GOOD.

SirClinton Portis's sig: "Fire Haslett. Hire Wade Phillips."

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. Not only would our secondary start looking like Dallas's secondary, scary (not in a good way), but when the defense blows it hard they just get coddled to death, and petted, and petted, and told that everything will be allllllllright... Bull S.

Cowboys defense is absolutely horrible. Thats what been there problem this year. Horribly coached defense.

I've warmed up to Haslett a little.

But he still has to stuff the trio of doom the Titans have first.

Well Cowboys have a new coach in Jason Garrett. So we shall see what he does as interm coach for now.

I think that you just gave new meaning to the term "Mr. Irrelevant".

[horse]

I would love to have Portis, if even just on 3rd down to block what a difference the protection has been without him. I believe win or lose Mcnabb will play well after being benched. I think we pull it off. Especially with cole who was erased by T. Williams talking sh*t.
