check again....ive been here since april.....i dont need to pick on the down and out because my team has been there before....i came here to offer support but you guys have your heads so far up your butts to see that

While you're boasting about your great record, I would take caution and look at the Patriots undefeated season, which netted them an embarrassing lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. The San Diego Chargers also come to mind, who went 13-3 a couple of seasons ago, and got punched in the mouth during the playoffs. LT hasn't been the same since. The list is long with teams that are red hot during the season and flop during the playoffs. I happen to think the Vikings are the best team in the NFC right now, but we'll see what happens if/when you guys meet them in the playoffs. I think either team will represent well in the Super Bowl.

like i said before.....i didnt come here to trash talk and brag about my team...i came here to talk about the redskins.....i talk about my saints enough on my own forums and its nice to step away from those sites every once in awhile and check out some other sites from around the league

but while your worried about trying to knock me down, remember that what is in the past is in the past for a reason....this is a new year and for all the great teams that you can name that didnt end up getting to the super bowl, i can name twice or 3 times as many that did go to the super bowl....and came out on top......sure records dont mean much once you get into the playoffs....but they do mean something....especially when homefield advantage comes into play.....playing at home througout the playoffs is a huge advantage especially when you play in a dome

we are building our case to have homefield advantage this year.....while you guys are building your case to have the first pick in the draft

i came here as a football fan that enjoys watching the saints.....i came here to talk football....not to talk about my saints

sure i dont know everything about the redskins but i know enough to carry on a conversation.....i know enough football to offer suggestions and comments on whatever you guys are talking about

you all are getting defensive because you think i came here to talk down to you.....if you guys can prove me wrong i welcome the idea.....but so far, at least in this thread, i havent seen much of an argument for why portis shouldnt play here

i dont get to see the redskins all the time and i dont care much to....but stats are a great and very effective way to judge how a player plays and how well they stack up against other players from around the league.....from a statistical standpoint, portis is an elite back and there arent many reasons to rip him right now other than the team is losing

the running game is almost always a result of how well the offensive line is playing.....the redskins offensive line is pretty terrible and yet, portis still manages to pull off 1400 yard seasons......that credit should go somewhere

the braggart doesnt give 2 sh*ts about how many wins either team has in the past.....but for the record.....why didnt you count the wins and losses this season? because your post would look significantly different?

over the past 4 seasons(under sean payton) we have made the NFC championship game, won our 2nd playoff game in franchise history......consistantly had the #1 offense in the league.....led the league in turnovers on defense and defensive TDs.....led the league in points per game, passing offense, total offense, and win percentage......our QB has the most passing yardage and TDs over the past 4 seasons of any QB in the league.....our QB has the 2nd most passing yards in a single season......our QB has also been sacked the least amount of times over the past 4 seasons than any QB....and considering we pass more than anybody(not this year tho) that sack stat is astounding

so while you guys have a rich history over a longer period of time.....our time is now.....i dont care whether you credit us or not but eventually reality will set in and you'll understand why im so proud of my team after all these years

on another note......sorry for taking up the entire page to post a rebuttle
