Hey guys im making what i think is my first comment on the board. Lol...kinda funny since i've been coming to this site all the time to get news on the redskins since like the middle of last season. So anyhow...im studying abroad in France for the semester (hence my member name) and since i can't watch the games here...i actually went out and bought a computer tv card before leaving and gave it to my friend to use. Now every sunday he tapes the game onto his hard drive and sends it to me over the net. I like bite my nails all of sunday knowing the redskins are playing...and often times i dont get to watch the games til like tues. which is a torture... But enough about me...

With regard to this thread im a little curious as to why people get so worked up about the media not giving us our due...?? I mean what have we really earned? We are playing well right now (very well may i add) but I mean lets be honest...plenty of teams go out and have a great start to the season (ie. minnesota and the giants last year) and then kinda collapse around this time of year. And from a media standpoint i do think its a little premature to start comparing us to the likes of new england and the eagles... I mean i personally think we can beat them...and i will be rooting like hell for us to win this weekend against NY...but teams like New England and the Eagles have been dominant for soooo long that they have earned the respect from the media.

The redskins on the other hand have been bad for so long that they still need to earn that respect. We won some close games and lost some close games this year...but i have a feeling its really starting to come together on both sides of the ball...and while i dont really care all that much what sports writers write in their weekly power rankings (since they are pretty much just for shits anyway and dont mean anything) i do think that if this week...we can go out and get a tough win on the road...that we will see the redskins jump in the bogus power rankings... My two cents anyway...
