Reason for (Cautious) Optimism

[Beemnseven]

I guess I was the only one that didn't get an optimistic feeling after reading the article.

If we lose to Jacksonville -- which I'm fairly certain is going to happen, the story this year will likely be that the Redskins are good enough to beat bad to below average teams, struggle against the teams that are on about the same level as the Redskins, and lose convincingly to good teams.

If they can cut the penalties down, and put some pressure on the quarterbacks, I suppose their fortunes could change. But we still didn't even see that against the lowly Texans.

jeez, even i'm not that pessimistic. Brunell may not throw long anymore, but he doesn't throw INTs. a lucky INT from our defense and we could very well win us this game.

what's great about Portis is that with him, you just never know. he could always break one. you counteract size (JAX's monstrous defensive line) with speed and we have that. adding Randle El with Moss you now have three of those guys.

i don't think Brunell will have time to even start thinking throwing long this game, hopefully YAC will win us this game too.

Ah yes, here we go. Predict a loss, and that means you're not a fan.

So, let's see: Unless you predicted the Washington Redskins go undefeated, you're not a true fan either.

Gotta love it indeed.

Seriously, why would you think the Jags would beat the Skins?!? I mean one of the best offenses in the league, led by the best passing quarterback in the league(Peyton Manning) just hung 14 points on that soft Jags defense this weekend. AND Washington held the offensively mediocre Cowboys to 27.

Jags over the Skins?! That's just ridiculous...

You need anger managment.
