I thought Jaws did, but I wasn't sure. And if Smack is a reference to yourself, then it doesn't count.

Salisbury???? THAT is indeed odd

I heard the same thing a couple of different times on ESPN Radio today. Colin Cowherd at first admitted not being real impressed by the Redskins 2-0 record.

But then after hearing that the Skins are #1 in the NFC at converting 3rd downs, and #1 in the NFL at stopping opposing offenses on 3rd down, he was convinced that Washington is as good as advertised.

Mike Tirico and Scott Van Pelt (who has to be at least 7ft tall) both thought that they were for real.

We better not lose this weekend though, or all the praise will come to a screeching halt.

Off-topic: I was at the Bottle & Cork this summer during the US Open and Van Peasy rolled in LOADED. (Good for him - it was his day off). I thought it was odd, because big time golf was being played, and he's the big time golf guy.

For our images sake I don't think we can afford to lose this weekend. For our teams sake this weekend should be a win and is the last time we can make a mark on the NFC East for a month or so. If we do lose this one I can't see it being a huge hit to our team with exception of moral. I don't think the Giants are going to go far this year so giving up a divisional win to them shouldn't be huge.

I don't really see this one as a MUST WIN game. Last week I believe was a must win, but this week it would be bad for moral if we lost but I don't think it's a must win.

Salisbury had us winning 8 games. Not a bad pick, but the early returns make me think that Sean's pick is a bit low.

When you look at our schedule, we could easliy go 8-8. However, if we live to my (completely unbiased) estimation at all, it could easily be........that which cannot be named, but.........much better

Chris Mortenson also said we had a good chance at the playoffs before the season began.
