I'm not as worried about a mid season slump that typically occurs with this team because the two biggest question marks coming into the season, coaching and quarterback play, are light years ahead of where they were expected to be. When was the last time a Redskins team had a quarterback that was rated in the top five, even only four weeks in? And while I respect what Gibbs brought to the table, I do enjoy watching a coach go for the throat, instead of trying to sit on leads after the half. If Campbell and Zorn continue to move forward as well as they have in just the first month of the season, this team could be a juggernaut by week 15. |

I agree it's early, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying things as they are now and daydreaming a little about what could be.

This is where my angry is fueled when they start screwing up. All the day dreaming of them winning the SB then realizing it ain't happen.

Re: THIS is the best you have felt about the Skins since?
I feel as good about them now as I did at the HOF Game, and that is saying something, because usually by this part of the season reality has started to sink in.
As for long term, I was overseas in 91, back before the internet- so I missed most of the euphoria with that, but this feeling sure reminds me of the 80's when the NFC East battles were the fiercest. |

Re: THIS is the best you have felt about the Skins since?
Not only do I feel great about the potential the skins have this year but I also feel great about washington sports in general. I think both the Wizards and the Caps make a run for it this year. Washington=Title Town???

Re: THIS is the best you have felt about the Skins since?
Since....the last victory over Dallas.
Don't you guys remember the miraculous fight to get into the playoffs last year? man..what short memories...not to mention the same 2 years earlier....and all the Dallas wins in between. We've won 3 games...1 against a playoff contender...lets talk again after the Philly game

Re: THIS is the best you have felt about the Skins since?
For me, when they brought Gibbs back was an OMG moment, but I wasn't sure how long it would take to work out. I haven't felt this good about the Skins since some time during Gibbs 1.
But I am remaining somewhat reserved. While we are doing incredibly well, I want to see how we respond when we turn the ball over. So far we haven't turned it over once! If the team can respond well to that (even if we don't always win) then I will be ecstatic like the 80's and early 90's. I also worry about some positions where we're thin. But it was really impressive that they managed to control Dallas with so many players out at the end. So call it "concerned" optimism. |

Re: THIS is the best you have felt about the Skins since?
Best I've felt since 1991. That team was the best team in the league from day 1, started the season 11-0, and destroyed all comers in the playoffs/Super Bowl. What I like about this team is that it's off to a great start playing against some of the best offensive teams in the league, yet I feel that we haven't played our best football yet. Jason Taylor hasn't even gotten his feet wet, and just wait until our rookie receivers start making an impact. I'm not saying that this team even remotely compares to the '91 team, but this team should continue to improve as we get contributions from additional weapons.
The 2005 and 2007 teams made great runs late, but let's face it, they dug huge holes early, and were #6 seeds in the playoffs. This team could make a run for a division title and possibly a #1 or #2 seed. |

It is not the 91' team but win Sunday or not, our best football is ahead of us this season. This team may well turn a lot of heads!
