Re: How do you like the Redskins start sitting at 4-1 after 5 games
Confidence is a funny thing...You play so much better than you may be when you have it. The problem is, that you play much worse than you really are when you loose it. We are playing with so much confidence right now that it's difficult to know how good we really are.
Don't get me wrong, I love the way the Skins are playing right now. We are a physically dominant team that is doing what it wants, when it wants, no matter what the other team does. My only concern is that 6 short weeks ago we had NO clue as to what kind of team we were and we played with zero confidence. I'm sure you all remember how depressing the coming season looked like back then! I just hope the Skins are not thinking about how "easy" the next few oponents seem to be and how nice 7-1 would be at the half-way split. The easiest way to loose confidence and slip back into playing bad football is to look past lesser teams or to dream about a record that's three weeks and 3 games away. If we play poorly at home and loose, all the great play in Dallas and Philly these last two weeks will be wasted. If we are a playoff team, we need to take care of business against lesser competition and especially at home. I love the attitude this team is playing with right now and I credit Zorn for everything this team has shown thus far. If they continue to listen to him and work to improve each game, no matter who we are playing, this has the potential to be a really exciting year. God knows all of us Skins fans have waited long enough for one of those. Oldskin |

I understand what you're saying, but I have a feeling if we start feeling overconfident, Zorn will put the ones feeling that way in their place. He can chew rear-ends with the best of them.

Re: How do you like the Redskins start sitting at 4-1 after 5 games
I know it's still relatively young in the season, but I'm lovin this stomping on the Eagles and Cowboys at their place... wow!
How the defense as played with young players contributing....fantastic! JC, Portis, Moss , Cooley ...great! As fans after what we went through last year (RIP ST) we couldn't ask for much more, except for a long Giant losing streak. |

Re: How do you like the Redskins start sitting at 4-1 after 5 games
In the HUGE WIN today JC breaks a JT record:
Posted at 8:15 PM ET, 10/ 5/2008 Campbell Breaks a Theismann Mark From Jason Reid: Quarterback Jason Campbell has set a Redskins record, throwing 175 consecutive passes without an interception. Joe Theismann held the previous mark with 161 passes in 1983. "To be honest about it, I didn't even know," Campbell said. "It really doesn't matter to me individually, but the good thing about it is what it means for the team. "It means we're holding onto the ball. We're taking care of the ball as an offense. That's definitely good right now."

5 games and no offensive turnovers. That's simply unbelievable to me.

I think I heard that Campbell set a Redskins franchise record today for most consecutive passes without an interception. That's awesome.

Re: How do you like the Redskins start sitting at 4-1 after 5 games
^ Hope is a dangerous thing but I'm starting to get a bit of it. I think what has caught my attention most is that even w/ significant injuries we're winning. Go figure we'd beat Philly w/o our best corner, a starting end and Marcus at LB. This is just huge, and for the next three games we should be able to 1) get some rookies serious playing time (I'd like to see Thomas, Kelly and Davis on the field together) 2) let the banged up guys on defense heal completely (we need them healthy for Pitt) and 3) give Portis some rest.
On the last point I just think CP has been unbelievable and I'd like to see him stay fresh, again like the strong finish we also need from the defensive starters. Hope to see Betts get a shit load of carries over the next 3 games for Clinton's sake and cuz betts has been running very hard.

Re: How do you like the Redskins start sitting at 4-1 after 5 games
We're 2-1 in the division, 4-1 overall. Busted Dallas in the mouth, thenn did the same thing to Philly. JC has no turnovers, Portis is running with reckless abandon, and the defense is playing lights out. How do I feel? How do I feel?

Re: How do you like the Redskins start sitting at 4-1 after 5 games
4-1 is great. the teams we beat, and where it happened, is even better. the skins know they can win on the road, in tough places. that might come in handy
