- these people are so full of themselves, i think they believe their own stuff!
The only idiot at ESPN that thought this team had any chance at being in the playoffs was Joey T. and he thought we had a chance at making the Super Bowl.
Now that is fantasyland stuff! - then they leave him on the streets? This guy should be certified. Oh sure, the Redskins had a chance 
(and so did the 49ers!) but to think they were capable of winning the NFC Championship game is ludicrous and should qualify him as definetly not knowing what he is talking about when it comes to evaluating teams!
I'm one of the biggest homers here (you could ask Dom**8, but he's not around anymore!) but I was never thinking that we could get that far this year. I mean, at the begining of this year we are an improved team, yes, but we still have some issues and Brunell/Ramsey was not going to make it! HELLO!
We are at the last game of the season, and guess what? We are one of the best teams in the NFC, right now. Win or lose this game - we are still one of the best teams in the NFC. We can play with the Bears or the Seahawks and even at their house we would not be huge underdogs. That is fantastic - all due to the fact that Gibbs can make "things" happen - "let the magic begin"

Not reassuring anybody. I am just going to go ON RECORD:
The Redskins will win this game DECISEVELY.
It is a bit late to be nervous now in my case. We have been playing elimination playoff games for four weeks in a row now. I have been ready to accept elimination if a single loss came along. I am ready. It is payback time folks.
No nervousness Only intensity here.

I'm on that theme too! We have won the 4 we had to have! Let the record show that I'm with Ric on this - we win this game and we win this game in a decisive manner.
We had to win before, actually the last 2 were the "pressure" games - now we will win!
This is a coach who is possibly the best ever in this scenario. He is possibly the best NFL coach EVER at this time of year and when it meams the most.
No discredit to the Eagles players and coaches but the Redskins will win this game.

Look, who else would you rather play on the road in a must win situation?
This team is in complete disarray. The Eagles are just a bad team right now. The Redskins should win this one handily.
It really should not be close

The Eagles aren’t just going to lay down for us. Their season is shot but they still have pride as a team (most will be Eagles again next year). They can wait for this year is over. They have committed more penalties this year than in any year, allowed the most TD passes ever and fewer sacks in a year than any Eagles team in their history. Here’s the one reason why they won’t lay down… No team in NFL history has gone from unbeaten to winless the next year in its own division.
Some guys will be playing for their jobs.
Playing for our playoff lives will top their motivation but it's not a given

This game is more important to the Redskins' players and coaches!
Joe Gibbs is our coach.
WE WIN!
I am so looking forward to this game.
