tizzod Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I, for one, am not ashamed to admit I am TERRIFIED about Sunday. I have NO IDEA what will happen, don't know which team will show up, and we definitely are not in a position to overlook the Bears and thump our chests and scream from the rooftops about how this game is a given. I will be in FedEx, properly lubricated, screaming my brains out in the upper deck, but I am flat out scared, folks. We SHOULD win, but should, and actually winning, are night and day, my friends. See the past 12 years or so. Feel free to try to convince me, but I think I will wait until roughly 4 pm or so to try to breathe easy. My stomach is not being nice to me.

Skinned Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 We have won our last 4 home openers. I fear the letdown too but I am sure that every teams fans are scared of losing their openers. It's only natural... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavarleap56 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 There is not a bad vibe in my body about this game. I am 100% confident that this game is going to resemble the Detroit opener in 91' and it will be a blow out skins victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Norvousness is unnecessary. We're a team capable of killing itself, no doubt, but, dammit, this game is going to be easy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manichispanic Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 as long as you're well lubricated, everything should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavarleap56 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Why is anyone nervous? The Skins are going to be very good this year and the first speedbump is the Bears so get ready for a great sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan080 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 If we lose to the freaking Bears, its going to be an extremley long year....so we wont. Seriously, the only team that can beat the Washington Redskisn this sunday, is the Washington Redskins. It's friggin opening day. If you cant get jakked up and ready to play for that, get out of the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzod Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 We have won our last 4 home openers. I fear the letdown too but I am sure that every teams fans are scared of losing their openers. It's only natural... Well, maybe I should clarify....I am scared to death EVERY week! Just because we have won our last 4 home openers means Jack Schitt this year, as far as I am concerned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJ Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I think the true Joe Gibbs turnaround starts Sunday. Get ready boys! Let's enjoy the ride this year. We're coming for ya Philly and Dallas. Look out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Look, here's the thing - if Kyle Orton can come out and beat this Defense, we deserve to freaking lose. I see Tampa Bay all over again - a game that isn't as close as the score appears to be afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVCChairman Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 The way i look at it is this, we have a struggling team, coming into OUR house for OPENING day. Not only that but we will have 90000 screaming fans there, and i doubt there will be many bears fans runnin around fedex this weekend. We have a SOLID defense, we have an improving offense. I will be there, screaming my head off for all 4 quarters. Everyone has first game Jitters, i feel like a kid the week before christmas right now!!

Bangee7 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I feel pretty good about this season. You know the o-line is better you know the offensive plays will be better you know the defense will be stout our best kicker is healthy again clock management can only improve from last year ST's should be better overall health of the team is better we still finished 7-9 last year even after being hosed on game-turning plays in 2 separate games Keep the faith !

Lavarleap56 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 With respect to everyone that has posted in this thread, there will be nothing close about this game. This sunday it will be a dismanteling of the Bears and it is a fact.The Skins are extremely focused on the task at hand and will dominate this weekend. Ramsey 19/26 312y 2 TD 0 Int Portis 24 150 2 TD and the D is allowing the Bears no TDs and we will have flashbacks of the Capital Deffense!! Hail to the Redskins !!

Lavarleap56 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I dont really think it is optimism and by no means am i the type of guy that makes crazy predictions. The only other time i have had a feeling like this was when we opened up against the Cowboys in the infamous Cramp game. I had a feeling we would stomp the Cowboys and i think it was 35 -7 at the half and had it not been for poor conditioning we would have hung on to victory. We still have not seen all of the offensive componets put together yet nor how Gibbs plans to string plays together. What we have seen through preseason is the team working on certain aspects of the offense and it was something different each game. The strength of the bears defense is its D-line and im sorry but i am confident after watching our o-line dominate the line of scrimmage against three great deffensive fronts in the Ravens, Panthers, And Pittsburgh that we will handle the bears. our o-line will handle chicago's d-line and be active in getting a hat on the LB which is a weakness for Urlacher and Briggs . Soon after the Lbs for chicago are going to try and guess which hole we are going for and over anticipate which is going to leave a ton of cutback options open for Clinton. Azumah has a bad hip and is hovering between QUestionable and doubtfull for the game but will start and there is no way he is staying with Patten or Moss with a bad hip. Charles Tillman is iffy cause we really dont know about him he had a ok Rookie year and was out for alot of time last year so no comment on him.

NoCalMike Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I am not "scared" per se, but I do have anticipation. Let me put it this way, I slept a total of about 3.5 hours last season on Saturday night before opening day, so with my expectations higher, I bet I get even less sleep. Of course after the game the beer, and the adrenaline goes away, I will be napping until work the next day, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanishomelette Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 One thing you won't have to worry about is this team quitting. They proved last year they just keep on going no matter the adversity. And this year there's no brashness and bravado of the previous years just a lot of talk about teamwork and family. That bodes well for the long term. I think avoiding penalties, fumbles, overcoming interceptions and causing bears mistakes is the key to winning.

jwsleep Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Year after year in the recent past we've always "won" the off-season with flashy moves and big signings. This year, eveyone says we've tanked, gone backwards, fallen apart. They're picking us to go 4-12, to collapse, to scrape the bottom of the barrel. I for one feel better this year than I have in a long time. We know nothing is going to be handed to us, that nothing will come easy, that we'll have to fight for everything we get. This team is going to fight its guts out. They are going to leave it all on the field. But we don't know how they're going to do. There's only one place that will be decided: on the field. I'm nervous, I've got butterflies, lord knows I can barley do any work...but I am not scared. Joe Gibbs is our coach, and we are the Washington Redskins. Redemption is coming.
