Thinking Skins Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=whitlock/051229 7. OK, while I'm on the subject, let me rank the NFC Super Bowl hopefuls. 1. Redskins: Outstanding defense and just enough offense to beat any team in the league. 2. Bears: Absolutely love the move to Rex Grossman. If Muhsin Muhammad holds on to the football, the Bears might score enough points to sneak into the Bowl. 3. Seahawks: Just feel like Matt Hasselbeck is going to do a couple of stupid things in Seattle's playoff opener and it's going to be curtains. 4. Buccaneers: Wouldn't be surprised if they were routed in their first playoff game. Wouldn't be surprised if they advanced to the NFC championship. 5. Panthers: You can rip Carolina's defense, but the problem with the Panthers is their running game. Lack of a consistent ground attack has exposed Jake Delhomme. 6. Giants: Eli Manning's happy feet and 52 percent completion rate will cost the Giants early. 7. Cowboys: You gotta make the playoffs to advance to the Super Bowl.

Thinking Skins Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 8. Of all the teams in the NFC, the Washington Redskins are the only team capable of winning the Super Bowl. After being down on Joe Gibbs early in the season, I have to credit him for getting things together. If the Skins knock off the Eagles, they will enter the playoffs as the hottest team in the league -- hotter than the streaking Patriots, also winners of four straight. Of course, we know the Redskins can play defense. What's been impressive is their offensive explosion the last two weeks -- 35 points in each victory, over the Cowboys and Giants. The Skins have a good offensive line, three good running backs, a big-play receiver (Santana Moss), an effective tight end (Chris Cooley) and a QB who has thrown 22 touchdowns and just nine interceptions.

authentic Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 its interesting to consider that we actually do have enough talent to win the whole thing. But i still can't shake the feeling that Sunday's game is one of the scariest games of the year. But i do trust if there is anyone that can get a team ready for a game like this, it has to be Gibbs.

skinsngibbs4life Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 whe haven't got this type of respect all season. even after our 3-0 start, they were still critizing us by saying that we were the worst 3-0 team in history. I really hope that this doesn't mean that we are getting bad karma now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins24 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 ugh. bad karma. I liked it better when ESPN hated us :doh: :whoknows: We weren't winning when they hated us. Them hating us hasn't helped us at all in the past 6 years. How is them hating us, speaking bad about us, putting out bad vibes about us exactly "good karma"?

PleaseBlitz Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Lets just beat the Eagles. After that I will start talking Superbowl. Immediately after that. Like 2 seconds after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hey, I predicted us to win the Superbowl earlier, in a thread about the Redskins going 10-6. I pretty much said, 10-6? With Coach Gibbs back, I'm looking at 14-6. If anyone has more patience than me right now, they can search for the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herrmag Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I really don't give a crap what they think the team is capable of. However, on a personal level, it is nice to see people admit they were wrong about Gibbs after dragging his name through the mud last year.

Zguy28 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 The only way these things affect us is if the players see it a nd get swollen heads and underestimate the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome2 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Ditto... I much prefer the "experts" not picking us. Jason Whitlock is not an expert. Let me be the first to say that he is probably the dumbest/worst sportswriter ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
