The Redskins Are Battle Tested

[12thMan]

This thread piggy-backs or echoes the thread, "Proud of the team". But I want to specifically point out how this team is battle tested. Probably more so than all the other teams competing for the wild card. I don't have to chronicle the recent events, you know what they are. Nothing brings together a team like adversity. More than fighting for the playoffs right now, I get the feeling these guys are fighting for each other.

I believe the most recent blow to the Redskins, that being Rocky's season ending knee injury, will further galvanize this team. It's yet another call for another guy to step in and take care of business. To me, this is sort of giving the team an identity; something they've lacked all year long until recently. Once a team knows who they are, then they can become dangerous. Obviously, this is pure speculation on my part but I think this team is now to the point where they're collectively saying whatever happens happens. We'll line up our best eleven on Sunday and it's going to be hell for the other team.

I really expect the Redskins to bring some fire this Sunday vs. Vikings. Also consider that the Vikings are working on a short week this time, not the Redskins.
