I just want to play them tough where i can say we can beat these guys at home. If we win well that is huge because i think we have an extremely favorable schedule. We have 5-6 gimme games imo.
Skins - 27
Seagulls - 24

Whoa! Don't get carried away by the Jags game. We were 3-13 last season and we're playing our backup QB. I don't see any gimmees for the Redskins.

I love early season optimism.

I dont think me thinking we are better than those horrible teams is overly optimistic. My point was i think we are at least a 6 win team. We have one, and we play some other bad teams. So - IF we steal one in Philly that would be huge. There is a difference between saying we are not the worst of the worst and saying we are playoff bound.

After the Houston game we were heading for a top 5 pick. Now it's playoffs or bust. Too funny.

I love the pesimmism on this board, skins are a better than most of you think.

I dont think anybody is saying playoffs of bust. If we beat the Eagles I for one will be thinking it.
Edit: if we play the Eagles tough on the road I will still be thinking it.

Let's see it consistently against good teams before we start jumping up and down. If we come out of this 3 game stretch against Philadelphia, New York, and Seattle with a record of 3-2 or better, I'll start getting excited.

2-3 is probably very realistic. I hope we just are competitive against philly and seattle. I would still be hopeful for a division title since we will get Philly at home later on.

If we win this weekend: playoffs and superbowl talk coming soon to a message board near you.

I agree. We have better players this year. Robinson, Hatcher, Clark, healthy Kerrigan, Roberts, Jackson and this new kid Grant...and honestly, I think KC gives us a better option passing the ball. We can beat Philly.

I could have sworn the season was already over after the Texans, what a difference that thing called winning does to people... Lol

For me, but probably only me in the whole world cuz that's how I role, the D is the key. But not in the sense of getting to Foles, or stops behind the line but keeping their offense in front of our defense. One commentator pointed out that their quick count offense can wear out defenses in the first half, and allows for bigger plays in the second half. Given that we don't have the deepest defense, this does concern me.

I think that Cousins throws 2 picks easy, and we have a general shootout, and right now I am not sure if we can win that against even a middle of the road defense.

And 11 penalties will be an automatic loss as well.

I am a few games shy of getting back into the kool-aid spirit.
Skins 24, Iggles >24.

Not funny, normal. Winning breeds hope and losing dont. Lol. Pretty strait forward.

When we lose a game because we play like the bad news bears I expect pessimism. When we beat (any) team by 31 i expect optimism. Doesn't have to be Superbowl or burn it down but lets all understand the relationship between their play and our opinions of their chances. If we get our asses kicked Sunday I will no longer be hopeful. Lol
