Damn man, thats kind of a crappy statement to make. I certainly will never believe that no matter what happens.

I dont know if i like him not playing this game. He is a great on-field player but:

1. We have been preparing for TO all week. Shawn Springs said on Redskins.com he would rather have TO play so he doesnt have to learn a new WR.

2. This might motivate the Eagles to play harder than they already would.

3. I want to see Sean Taylor make a punishing hit on him.

I just think saying that if the skins lose they have no heart is a crappy thing thing to say. The Redskins play with heart every time they walk onto the field. The attitude isnt needed.

In my opinion, the Redskins played with no heart last week. Whether the attitude is needed or not, it's here. Deal, or don't respond, champ.

I actually disagree. To me, it was one of those games you could just tell within the frist two drives of the game, what the outcome was going to be. It just never really seemed like they had that spark and fight. I think they husstled, but didnt play with heart, theres a difference. Playing with heart isnt just somthing you can flip on and do, the team as whole just looked like they didnt want to be there. They still hustled, but they just didnt seem into the game. Its a huge concern when a team comes out like that, but at the same time I actually felt better about that loss because of that fact.

Well said.

But if we do win, and that's still a big if, the pundits will put asterisks all over a Redskin victory because the Eagles didn't have Owens and (more than likely) McNabb.

To tell you the truth Owens or not the Redskins will have a up hill battle in the game sunday! Last week game against the Giants showed just how far this teams is away from the play-offs! With out most of our draft picks next year I see more hard times ahead. One of my biggest problems with this team is it's over rated O line. They could do nothing last week! Over payed and middle of the road or bottom of the league at best. We need to get back to our roots and use the draft. These past ten years show me we need people that know who and how to draft players. Its the front office that has been the big failure! It's hard to speck the truth and there is much more. I love the Redskins and hate to see this year in and year out.

Tomorrow should give us a better, if not definite, idea of whether the loss to the Giants was just an aberration or a reflection of the true Redskins. I tend to think it's closer to the former.

As for the O line. 3/5ths of the starters were drafted by the Redskins (and it's not like Rabach and Thomas are slouches). So what do you mean by get back to our roots and use the drafat?

Ooh man, in the words of Peter Griffin...freakin sweet!

TO being out is a great thing for the Skins not matter what way you look at it.

He's one of their best players and their biggest playmaker.

Taking him off the field is HUGE for the Skins.

Regardless of how his teammates respond, the Eagles coaching staff has prepared to play Owens all week. The decision to suspend him wasn't made until he half-assed his way through the "apology". Therefore, though our defense is at some disadvantage, their offense is at a greater one.

[Sammy Baugh Fan]

SBF's Opinion: TO is Afraid.

Afraid of Sean Taylor again. ST smacked TO in the mouth play after play last time the "met" and with Lavar in there he knew it would be a LONG DAY.

The rest of their O is hurting so they would put the ball in his big mouthed hands this week and let him "eat". He saw the writing on the wall and would rather answer to a Coach he won't have next year than to ST and LA.

Wooosie.

I say the Skins should prepare like both MacNabb and TO will both be there and hit them with overwhelming force.


Go Skins!!!!!
peace

haha, good analysis SBF. This is good news for the Redskins, all we have to do is shut down their nonexistant running game and we should be good. But that's easier said than done with the Redskins 25th ranked rushing defense. I could foresee Brian Westbrook having a big day against us tomorrow.

[Luxorreb]

TO out helps our chances incredibly. Reguardless of him being on the field the Redskins will still have to show up Sunday night! Can't wait til 830 pm tomorrow night!!!
