I see the same type of confidence with Miami too.

After the outright pathetic embarassment of 2006, no opponent should be taken lightly this year. Unless the Redskins start out hot, the burden of proof is on them to tell the skeptics and naysayers how wrong they are.

Come on, does anyone really deny that 2006 was the absolute worst season for the Redskins in living memory? I know '93 and '94 were worse in total wins, but in terms of expectations, let's not forget how awful it truly was. I think everyone here was completely sucker-punched as far as how bad our team was.

This seems right to me, especially when you're looking at the media--what have we done to be higher than 24th right now? We don't deserve ANY love, until we actually show we are a better team. King was actually pretty balanced here, IMO.

(And I fully agree with the "training camp rankings are silly" sentiment! God, I can't wait for actual football!!!)
