Will you be happy if we go 4-2 in the first 6 games?

Coming of two straight losses, they better not overlook ANYONE.

4-2 would be awesome, consider the Skins were 2-4 in '04, 3-3 in '03, 2-4 in '02, 1-5 in '01. 2000, the Skins were 4-2 to start the year.

the 49ers are terrible, but the Skins will be prepared. Last year's Cleveland team was more talented than the current 49ers team. They squeeked out a win against a St Louis team that overlooked them, and haven't done anything since. Alex Smith takes over the reins, and even with the bye week, won't be enough to turn the tides.

I believe that the game with the 49ers this week will tell us all something very important about the 2005 Washington Redskins.

The Redskins have significantly better talent than the 49ers - - everywhere that matters. I don't care if the 49ers had a month off to prepare for this game, the physical football talent gap between them and the Skins is still huge.

This week will give us a look at what kind of "killer instinct" this team has as a whole. This is a team the Skins should be able to knock down and step on their throats and not ever let up. This is the first team this year where the Skins have such an obvious physical advantage. It will be interesting to see if they absolutely dominate the 49ers - - or if they let them hang around and make some kind of game of it into the late 3rd quarter.

The line on the game opened with the Skins as a 11.5 point favorite and it jumped to 12 points in about an hour and is now at 12.5 points in most places and as high as 13 points in two of the offshore sports books. I honestly believe that the Skins can name the score on Sunday and ought to win by 3 TDs or more.
