The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Hear me out on this one.

Remember when Joe Gibbs came to Washington on January 13, 1981. Remember his first year? How did he start? O - 5? People wrote off the Redskins. They finished strong with an 8-3 finish and ended up 8-8.

The following year, in 1982, the Redskins continued what they started and you know the result: a win over Miami in the Super Bowl.

Fast forward to 2005. The Redskins, after starting strong, stumbled along the way and found themselves at 5-6. Once again, people wrote off the Redskins. Once again, they finished strong with a 5-0 finish and ended up 10-6, making the playoffs for the first time since 1999.

Here's what I see!

I see a great similarity between the Redskins of 1981 and 2005. Both teams were still learning under a new coaching staff. Both teams were slowly developing into JOE GIBBS teams.

Don't look now, ladies and gents, but the 2005-06 Redskins have, once again, become a JOE GIBBS team. That spells one thing:

C - H - A - M - P - I - O - N - S

The more and more I think about it, the more and more I am convinced that this Redskins team is poised to go all of the way this year.

Super Bowl win #4 is within our sights, folks.

How excited are you!?!?!?!?

Not as excited as I'd be if I had your tickets!

You fans are way too excited. It's only June let's see what happens beofre we start making comparisons. I's sure that you all will be the same people who complain if things don't always go the skins way.

Calm down.

Skins will have an undefeated season, win the Superbowl and be called the GOAT!

I had to reread his post to be sure, the way he worded it made me think he was the enemy. And stop following me around, I noticed you were lurking on the other section too.

I'm a cup ... I have little choice but to lurk ... not very mobile

Oh, I am a fan of this team. I am just not convinced that they will go all the way as of yet. Just trying to keep my excitment to a minimum, it's only June.

What are you talking about??? This is the best time to be excited!!!!!

Chris is preparing the Bandwagon, the team is talking like A TEAM.

History is a good indicator of what a Joe GIbbs-led team can produce, and...

People are talkin' Skins.

The media is always late to find out what we already know...

The skins will "OWN*" the NFL this year!!

(CLL, did I use the term right?)
