~~*How Are You Taking "It"*~~

As some of you already know, we are in the playoffs. <(Sarcasm)... Many fans of other teams are looking at us because we are such a solid team and are curious how we feel. I for one have taken a Humble approach to the whole thing and just saying "Glad to be in the playoffs", but also still holding my ground. I'm sure most of us want to run our mouths and get riley, which we DO DESERVE to do, I'm just curious how you are taking "It".

For those of you dumber than a Cowboy... It = Being In The Playoffs

if we were healthy i'd be talking a lot of trash but due to injuries to Portis and Brunell, and our secondary being in pieces, i don't know. Springs' injury is HUGE because he is in my opinion close to a shut down corner, he really does take away the teams #1 and taking away galloway is huge. But I guess i'm excited but not too overconfident. Its just another game for the burgandy and gold, run the ball and stop the run and we'll win. That's what the playoffs is all about

This is Joe Gibbs coaching the Redskins. I expect them to be in the playoffs every year.

I thought '99 was a fluke. A year when the Redskins had so much talent that even Norv Turner's coaching couldn't keep them out.

This is different.

It didnt go exactly as planned but never the less they got it done. I am happy I usually take a humble approach if there is no bashing of my team in a conversation. But when the insults start flying look out Ill argue for days on end. Anyways Go skins lets get them bucs.

I'm feeling deserving of it.

I feel that this is our Super Bowl to lose. You just can't script a season better than this one. I ain't countin'Joe Gibbs out in the playoffs. We have scored 101 points over the past 3 wks!!!! :shock:

Did we even score that many last year????

Completely deserving. We've beat the top two NFC teams (Seahawks, Bears) and had several close games (...Oh Bucs -- We're baaaack.)

At any rate, the Skins have taken their game to a whole new level. Team play, dominant defense, and a smash-mouth run game. We will make it deep into the playoffs. Joe Gibbs is the master strategist, both at preparing for a game and at halftime. Let's not forget 5 wins in a row. What a turnaround for this franchise. Joe Gibbs will someday be the only one to win 4 superbowls with 4 QB's -- and in two centuries!

Im just thankful for a winning season. Im happy for a proven season, we didn't luck into being 1 game over .500. We're a legit team.

It's nice to not be putting away the gear in December again, keeping it clean and whole until next season.
Man, I've had the same Redskins coat for seven years now.
Spotless, let me tell you.
It's getting dirty this year.

We are here now so my expectation level has risen, given Coach Gibbs' track record in December and the playoffs.

I expect us to play well and fall no shorter than the NFC Championship game. Reason I set that bar there is that we have some injuries in key positions and it would be hard for us to get past the NFC Championship with a banged up team.

Hey, we are here and our record is 0-0, so why not shoot for the moon.

The GPS on the bandwagon is dialed in for Detroit. Im sorry but thats just the nature of the bus. We're going all the way baby.

I thought we would make the playoffs last year, because of Gibbs. Then we realised there was some work still to do.
I felt 9-7 or 10-6 was possible and that based on the "quality" of other teams, would put us in the playoffs.

I am happy to be here and I agree - we should be here but we still have a lot of work to do. Beating the Bears and Seahawks early this year means squat to the players and coaches. We all have changed a bunch since then. I think we are almost there & we are fortunate because we have Gibbs - he is a huge advantage at this time of the season.
We could win a couple here but really I am very happy to be a Redskins fan again and how our team is playing.
We are playing Redskins football again and I cannot wait to start preparing for next year.

This is bonus time for me and I am looking forward to beating the Bucs. I think we win because we are playing slightly better right now and we have Joe Gibbs. I could not care less about the last game and I guarantee Joe Gibbs doesn't either - that's media hype. We win and then get ready to go win the next game, just like we've been doing the last 5.

We have a bit left over for some 24' rims after the burgundy tints are put on, 15% of course.
