Redskins reality is a tough pill to swallow, especially for many on this site who live in fantasyland about the Skins.

Why give a damn what fans of other teams think of our team? I don't.

I think we've improved over last season and we are more likely to look like the playoff team of 2012 than we are to resemble the disaster of 2013. When we go to the playoffs this season, you'll be able to point out to the people you meet that we made the playoffs in two out of the last three seasons, which makes us winners in my book.

BTW, even in the Gibbs I era, I met people who would swear that we wouldn't go anywhere in the playoffs. We've never gotten the respect we've deserved, so don't expect that to change.

Just stay positive and you will soon be rewarded for your faithfulness.
