You have to love about Robert....from day 1 he has been the leader and nobody that I have heard has said....anything different. He has that rare combination of Fearless mentality, talent and desire that makes the people around him better and..."believe". This is what the Skins of the last 20 odd years have lacked (well....that and a few dozen other things). These guys.....BELIEVE they can win regardless what the time clock says.
The Skins of old thought the same thing and they did ok with it.....we'll see
HTTR and.......AMEN Joe!

I agree and the line; " The Redskins are more than RGIII. But they are Griffin, first and foremost" is a very good summation of the team's persona.

Yeah good read. Still too many people out there sleeping on this team, or just flat out ignoring us for whatever reason. Another division title and the haters will have no choice but to recognize this team is legit and we're not the same old Skins.

Couple of things:
A poster on cowboyszone (where I saw this article) summed it up well: what is there to respect about Vick?

Also I hope our team keeps a level head because that team is like the rams last year undisciplined and looking for fights. Let them get the penalties.

That said I wouldn't be upset if some of our receivers verbally pushed Williams buttons. Sounds like he is a good for one or two 15 yarders if egged on properly.

Mixed feelings on this one. Given RG3s knee and the movie this came from. But with 2 days left I get the tie in

[DynamiteRave]

Par for the course.

At this point you almost wonder if he wants to play.

Like I said, he's the new Malcolm Kelly

[MTK]

Injures are a real bitch sometimes. Saying he's got no heart is a pretty weak assumption.

I'm so nervous about tomorrow. Of course there is Roberts knee, but I'm much less concerned about that having seen the progress he has made and how good he is looking. What has me nervous is that I have never had higher expectations for this team.

I came of age in the Norv Turner era, and that 99 team was the first time I really followed every little thing about the Redskins, and since then I have seen nothing but one disappointment after another. Oh, and then THE legendary coach comes out of "retirement" to save our sorry franchise, and though there were good moments, the way Gibbs 2.0 fizzled out at the end has left such a bitter taste. I liked bringing Shanahan in from day one, but over the years my optimism for the skins had died. RG3, well I have never been more impressed with a young QB's talent, character, and/or personality, but going into last season my expectations were reserved (THEN I SAW WHAT HE COULD DO), and I was pleasantly surprised by a division championship.

Now, to me, I believe this is the best Redskins team I have seen, but have been burnt so many times that I am waiting for the other foot to drop. Anyone else feel this way? Or can someone with more years of Redskins fandome please tell me its ok to believe in them this time, because they really ARE a talented, young, deep team that is just starting to reach maturity. I know the rug can be pulled out from under us (Miss you 21), but I just need to hear that this is what a rising star looks like.

It's Monday. Hope I can sleep tonight. 4:55 pm can't come fast enough.
