Not necessarily. The Redskins game planned for Vick all week long. And like someone said before, it wasn't luck that knocked Vick out of the game, it was two of our safeties.

We all want consistency and steady improvement. Whenever you have guys out with injury (Trent Williams...big blow to the OL, and Portis has been gimpy) it is going to cause a bit of a step backwards. If you look at the big picture, there has been much improvement. The Redskins are undefeated in their division....last year they didn't win a division game. The offense is already a world of difference compared to our offense from last year. There is plenty to be optimistic about.

See, I hate it when people posts stuff like this, because it's untrue. True, people in the past have told me that I am overly optimistic, but it's because I have been a life long fan (for nearly 30 years) and I am also a realist. I am very frustrated in Stephon Heyer, for instance. I am very frustrated with the way the defense gives up so many yards per game. I was just as frustrated as anybody about the Houston loss. But, I have to keep in mind that we are only four games into this season under this new regime.

Yes, it is going to take time and unfortunately for you, you will just have to be patient. If we need a new QB by then, well, so be it, but I believe McNabb has more than two years left in his tank. I don't know how old you are, but back in the 80's, the Redskins stayed relatively consistent despite having to change QBs. It was because Gibbs had the team as a whole playing well enough to where he could develop other guys to step in and lead the team. Shanahan has been able to do the similar thing in Denver. So yes, it is going to take time whether if you like it or not.

You here it because it's the truth. A lot of you fans want instant gratification, because it's the age in which we live in. Unfortunately, you have to learn patience.
