See, I never understood this. We're fans on a message board. Why do we need to take it one game at a time? IMO, this is the one place we can do just what we're doing, predicting the rest of the season by what has occurred so far. The team needs to take it one game at a time, not the fans.

I couldn't agree more.

I could deal with 1 win in the next two weeks, the previous games don't mean anything when we're playing the Cowboys or the Eagles, its a whole different game and anything can happen.

Hey, who thinks we're gonna beat San Fransisco this year!

I'm very hopeful for a 1-1. But I know we're going 2-0 against the spread. And I'm bettin' that way. I love it when we're under the radar like this....and the Pukes are on everyone's sweetheart list. I always make money on it. Its actually the only bet I ever make with the for real "scary guys"

I break your fingers on three separate occasions, fracture your ribs, crack your skull, shatter your metacarpal, break your jaw (twice), bust your knee caps, smash your windows and now I'm stuck with this completely unfair "scary" label forever.

Too bad the spread doesn't affect our W/L record.

Don't sweat it. No one will be afraid of you once the Metamucil that we snuck into the Pepsi you are now filled with congeals into a hard mass of brown goo...

THAT, my high-tech-carbon-fiber friend, you'll be stuck with forever...

It's cute that you think I'm that easily defeated

I thought you were talking about FIOS's mom. She also said we were going 0-2 over the next two weeks.

It's pointless to speculate about games in the future. Waste of time. Don't let me stop you though.

Don't worry, you won't.

We are starting to play well together and despite the real possibility of losing the next 2 we really look like being 6-3 or 5-4 at the bye week - who knows at the end of the season, we could actually make the playoffs

By the way we behaved since Gibbs left I really thought they were preparing more for the future and not for the "now" as they have done in the past. That coupled with the fact that there are a lot of teams not playing very well together could mean we will make the playoffs. That is not to say the Redskins are a playoff caliber team its just that we could end up being there because other teams played badly.

As soon as they made Zorn the HC I felt that he would bring innovation and enthusiasm back to our team - and I always felt that given a couple of drafts and letting him surround himself with players who want to play here - we will be a really good team again soon. It might be a ggod season for a team that just wants to play together and limits their mistakes.

Too often in the NFL the game is lost by a team more than it is won.

1-1 would be huge, if they keep winning the games they're supposed to. So many times in the past they would lose that saints or cards game, and then maybe beat a good team randomly. If they win one of the two, then take care of business against st. louis, cleveland, detroit, cinci, etc., the record could be quite good. Unfortunately, the rest of the division play these teams as well. That's why i hope if we do win one of the two, its the eagles game, so theres a better chance we make the playoffs. They cowboys are very unlikely to miss the playoffs imo.
