As for the relief, it's in sight and it is the Rams and Cardinals.

1-1......if we're 2-0 I'll be the happiest person ever.....but I don't see us actually pulling off a road win to an average team. I wouldn't even be surprised if we put Walt Harris on Torry Holt.......

I think once we are 7-6 a lot of people will forgive the team for today's loss.

For me personally I know it's just frustration cuz this team with all of it's close calls and seemingly lack of a killer instinct, the team could easily be 0-11 or 10-1 and seeing the team @ 5-6 is hard to stomach with how well the season seemed to start off. It's just dumbfounding how the team seems incapable of playing a complete game with the same desire and sense of urgency from quarter to quarter save the practical no show vs the giants. We r still only 2 games behind the divisional leaders with games left against both @ home, a visit to the shell-of-their-former-selves-eagles, and 2 upcoming games against seemingly beatable games so I firmly believe that the season is still alive and I will not give up hope. A lot of people, myself included, didn't think the skins would be able to keep todays game close and they did and I think that, silly as it sounds, makes it worse. We all care so much about the success of the Redskins and to see them come so close only to fumble it away or let a win slip from their grasps because they become afraid to lose just makes us all want to scream our lungs out. Some people are going to the extreme with their frustration but a lot of our frustrations have been building over the past dozen years or so and it's somewhat understandable that some r starting to crack. I know it sounds corny but don't give up faith in this team.
