Re: Redemption Week!!
 

The Redskins are a different and a better team than last year all around, they improved in every position except QB. The Eagles also improved and got weak in other areas, overall I would say the Redskins did a better job in drafting and FA signings, this year's Redskins are a totally different team and it will win on Sunday.

Leave it to Pigeons fans to create a poorly worded sign. I think all Pigeons fans dropped out of school in the third grade.

[quote=htownskinfan;846276]This is pretty much the same eagles team that humiliated us last yr.We have a better defense this year but the eagles offense has been unstoppable except for their turnovers.From the highlights Ive seen of their games,it hasnt been teams stopping them its been the eagles stopping themselves.I cant see us having the same luck as the other teams,the ball just has not been bouncing our way for so many yrs I cant count.I cant see us getting the fluke plays and turnovers the other teams have enjoyed,I see the odds of philly doing that 5 games in a row are too high.Just look at the dallas game,what they have,8 fumbles I think and we got 1 of them,are u kidding me,1of 8 fumbles?
We should have won the dallas game but we didnt step up and do it,we should win this game but ive lost the faith,weve been in this position so many times over the past few yrs and we blow it everytime.I dont think we would have won the game last yr if we wouldnt have knocked vick out of it and if he plays a full game this week my gut feeling is we lose again
Ok go ahead and blast away at me and tell me im not a true fan:spank:[/quote]

Remember, Luck is a product of design. They have been losing games they should have won, because they are not prepared for those lucky plays. A good team takes that luck and turns it into points, because they are prepared and focused. I don't know if you've been paying attention, but it sounds to me like the eagles have quit in the fourth quarter several games in a row now. We are not the same team as years past. It's like pretending you have the same wife, after she gets breast implants. Sure she has a similar personality, but her new look gives her a certain swagger. We don't quit, and we don't give away games anymore. That much is obvious.

Let me correct you the Redskins did improve at QB. Rex is a slight upgrade over McNasty. Rex can get hot and we do know he will lay the ball on the carpet from time to time. At least Rex knows the offense of Kyle's unlike McNasty did.

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

This is a big time text for the Redskins this Sunday.
1.We can beat a division rival
2. We can crush Philly's playoff hopes.
3. We can have 2 games up in the divison if the Cowboys and Giants lose.
4.We are 4-1 heading into Carolina next week.
5. Defending homefield can we win our home games?

This is the week the offense has to move the ball and score points. The wide receiver's have to step up and have a big day when the ball is thrown to them. We can't just run the ball every play cause philly will play 8 in the box to stop us from running the ball. Fred Davis can have a big game against the LB's of the Eagles. I'm calling out the offense this week to get it done if we want to to give the Eagle a big L.

Call me crazy but I really really don't wanna play Carolina

I have been paying attn and watching the games and I dont see any quit in philly,just bad luck.And until we win a game like this ,WE are the same redskin team,all you gotta do is look 2 games back.I bet you thought we were going to kick dallas's ass too,howd that work out?

ok, if you said "some bad luck" that would make sense, but to put all of it on "bad luck" is way off. It's not "bad luck" that has their DEs & OLBs have given up crucial plays by losing outside containment. It's not "bad luck" that Vick has been hit hard many times & it wasn't "bad luck" when Vick threw a ball away at the end of the half last week as the clock ran out & they didn't get a fg attempt.

Interestingly (at least to me), this will be the first opponent this year that we don't have a FA starter from them:
NYG - Cofield
Ari - Hightower
Dallas - Bowen
St. Louis - Atogwe

IF we win this week (especially a dominant win) I could see the Carolina game being a HUGE let down.

That said, I am willing to risk that for a dominant win against the iggles!

Wow, forgot about him, but hey-he's just the punter :cheeky-sm

Still interesting how much of our FA signings came from opponents we play this year early, I wonder if it had to do with focused study on early opponents. I don't know, probably just coincidence, but I don't think that happens a ton around the league.

Did Rex not replace McNabb last year at the mid point? That's why I said no improvement, cause he took over last year.
