This team is going to need a lift on 9/11 from the fans.

We have a good offense. We have a good defense. Neither are playing well right now. Neither will play enough in the final preseason game to stop the panic. That's the situation, and because the preseason is well, the preseason, the only worry I have is the player's confidence in themselves.

I think they have a lot more confidence then the panicky skins fans have in them at this point, but it comes down to this. We can show up on 9/11 and hold our breath waiting for something to go wrong, or we can show up on 9/11 and impact the game from the kickoff. Anyone that was at the Giants or Cowboys game last year knows what I'm talking about, the crowd was stiffling, and it hurt the other team while it lifted ours. Spend the next 15 days questioning everything if you like, but if you are going to be there on 9/11, act like your team has won 6 of the last 7 games that mattered. Act like they won a playoff game on the road for the first time in 14 years, and scream like you expect them to win.

I'll be cheering from 600 miles away. I hope they'll be able to hear me.

If I score some tickets, I'll be there cheering my team to victory. I can't wait till I drive home to see the naysayers scrambling for negatives and certain posters absent from the site.

I won't be up there until the Cowboys game on 11/5, but I'll be in front of the HD big sreen cheering like crazy in full Skins outfit for the Monday Night opener.
Go Skins! Hail!

Well...I hope they kick the Ravens butts on Thursday first. This will be a test for the team and the fans. The fans (and team) had much to be desired against the Jets. Time to get tuned up and ready to go !

No offense dude! But I'm not going to wait until 9/11!

We have a game this Thursday! And I can't wait! I don't know about you, but I really want to see Sean Taylor knock the crap out of Anderson once again! No matter what happens though we MUST lose! Gibbs doesn't win Superbowls when he wins a preseason game!
