The extra days off ought to help everyone on the team heal up, and rest up. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if we came out sluggish and got behind before our offense starts to click.

I hate late games/MNF games. Won't be able to focus on work most all of the day (not that that's anything new...)

I'll get excited when the team is over .500

Part of me understands this, but, a much larger part says that Skins fans ought to be pretty excited that our team is putting up nearly 30 points a game, and all of our main characters are on the right side of 30.

We're going to win and this one may not even be close.

**** yeah!!

RG3 is going to blow up!!! This kid plays best when the pressure on. Prime time! I'm missing second shift at work too so if I lose I have a feeling my co workers will laugh at me so we need to win for multiple reasons lol

This is a crucial game in my opinion. If the 'skins win tonight, I seriously think they win out. It's a statement game. At some point in a franchise's rebuilding, there has to be a certain game or a certain play that turns everything around. In my opinion, it's gotta be tonight. When three NFCE games in a row, on top of beating the current Super Bowl champions, and this team glides into the playoffs being very dangerous. Lose tonight, and the 'skins aren't quite there yet, they'll lose another game down the road that they probably shouldn't drop, but they'll sweep Dallas to end 8-8 and give us something to look forward to for next season. I really think it goes one of those two ways. I just hope it's the former.

I actually think it started in the 2 qtr. on Thanks Giving day.

Worked up for a game for the first time in a while. I REALLY hope we come to play tonight. So tired of being hapless and hopeless.

[Chico23231]

if the defense continues the trend of stronger play in the second half, we should win. Another statement game opportunity.

I understand that we haven't had a great record on Monday night and have problems with winning at home. That was the past, prior to RG III. This kid has changed everything for us. Throw out everything that has happened to us in the past and start fresh with this year.

We have a franchise QB, from this year forward we are fresh and new.

Remember in week 7 we turned the ball over nearly 6 times and only lost by 4. Tonight we flip the script.

I am in complete agreement with this post. RGIII is a game changer for the Skins. Throw out all the history, jinxes, etc. With RGIII we can beat any team, anytime, anywhere.

Of course, we might lose, too. But the point is that I believe we always have a chance to win with RGIII.

I thought so too ... then came Carolina.

My only worry is our uniforms. While we're look spectacular, we always lose in any of our anniversary uniforms.

Otherwise, we can beat them.
