Redskins:Victory_or_Death Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 The homer in me says we should go 12-4, with losses to maybe the Steelers,Giants (2), and maybe the Ravens.Shut your mouth. I'm up in the Baltimore area and I'd NEVER hear the end of it. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 No.What you are feeling is Norvitis. The known cure for Norvitis is Zornicilin. That, my friends, it a total classic line right there! Good one Diesel. A very, very good one. I'll take two this evening and sleep like a baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddydean Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 This is one game we do not want to see on NFL Replay. Yes, it should be that bad of a beatdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNGwithOUTaCrwN Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Not nervous but this is a very important game. we need to beat the teams we "should" beat. exactly, they way things have been though it seems like we wont be overconfident. hopefully not.

GoodOnPaper Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. Jackson is a great back and he will punish us if we give him the opportunities to do so. Hope the D has their gameplan ready for this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikie Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 very nervous, traditionally this team has been horrible in trap games... trying to believe this is a new era and philosophy... will actually be really impressed if this team can keep up this intensity.. just win.. this feeling of winning by 20 is BS... just win... all great teams just win... they have their close games against teams with bad records but they just win...

NFC Beast Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I dont know about anyone else but all this week I have been on pins and needles about this game. I was more confident going into Dallas and Philly than this one against the Rams. I am just in so much fear that they are going to lose this one. The Rams are coming off a bye week, they have a new head coach, and Al Saunders is coming back to FedEx. Am I just being paranoid or is anybody else freaking out about this game? Trust me, as much as Id like to see an upset, the Rams ARE the worst team in the NFL. Skins by at least 2 scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I am NOT worried about the SKINS coming out flat. I am concerned the Rams will be playing above their heads......coming off a bye .......and with something to prove for their new coach. Strange things can happen. Yes, the rams are winless. Yes, it is our house. Yes, we should have a win. Thankfully, it is only the fans who are looking past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfire Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 No.What you are feeling is Norvitis. The known cure for Norvitis is Zornicilin. With two back to back victories on the road at Dallas and at Philly, Zornicilin has successfully done it's job in killing the Norvitis plague. This should remind the rest of you to get your booster shots now. I am taking Zornax for my Redskins depression, and it is working wonders.

The Rams are coming off a bye week, they have a new head coach, and Al Saunders is coming back to FedEx. Am I just being paranoid or is anybody else freaking out about this game? Yeah I'm a little nervous for the Skins. The Rams have had 2 weeks to prep for this game. IMO the Rams have talented team and have been underperforming. Now that a coaching change has been made they'll likely come out fired up; traditionally teams play well the first game after a coaching change. And we have played 2 tough in division rivalry games and seemed primed for a let down. We don't have a 'quick strike' type of offense, so the Rams might still be in the game long enough to think they can win. I'm hoping we get an early turnover or an early ST touchdown. We need something that gets the Rams thinking..'Uh-oh here we go again'. We got to take the fight out of them early and put them out of their misery. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I'm really nervous. I'm actually more nervous about today's game than last week's game, because last week I would have been totally okay with coming out flat and losing. But this week? Just have this feeling the Rams are going to come out fired up coming off a bye and a new head coach. I actually felt better heading into Dallas...

Voice_of_Reason Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 No.What you are feeling is Norvitis. The known cure for Norvitis is Zornicilin. This gets my quote of the day. I actually used something similar in the game day thread, but I think I called it redskinitis - the disease of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I did not come up with the cure, though. Let's hope the cure is not short lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Smith Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 We have to open the game with a bang, and jump on them early, and then pound the ball on the ground in the second half, work the clock, and sit our stars.

MumboSauce Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I'm a little worried about coming out flat this week. But after the way we came from behind 14 points at Philly, I still think we would be okay. ^^^^If that man in your sig has anything to do with it we'll be fine!! lol I admit I'd loathe dropping a game this week to the Rams... As said on the radio..it's not a must win..but it's a can't lose lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilskinzfan47 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 This is a game that we should win.The next 3 are.Just hope we dont come out over confident.Any givin sunday.The Rams will win a game this year.Just not in our house i hope.

SkinsNoles21 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 The nervous feeling isn't about the Redskins playing the Rams ... it's about our new position ... one we fans havent seen as a long time. Even if our playoff years no one game us a chance to win ... we reeled off games at the end and didn't enjoy the feeling of being a good team all year long. Now, we are starting off hot ... by week five we are considered a premier team in the NFL ... for the first time in forever we are expected to demolish our next three opponents ... this is something we don't know how to handle. Im wary of this game tomorrow but I know as soon as play begins ... I will feel fine ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeb Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 not really nervous about playing a team at our house that gives up on average around 30 points a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Oh COME ON guys. It's the RAMS! Yes, we should never underestimate an opponent, but there's no reason we shouldn't be feeling confident about this. Some people are saying they're more scared than going into Dallas or going into Philly? That's bull****! Maybe the Rams make it a closer game than expected, but we're going to win. We're one of the best teams in the NFL, and they are one of the worst. There's no reason we shouldn't expect to win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyvern Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I really liked Blondie's post. It captured all my concerns. But I'm positive about our chances. I think this is a chance for the Skins to show that under Zorn, they won't be taking any opponent for granted, and will approach each game like a professional playoff-caliber team. My vote is that this Sunday on FedEx field the Skins players and coaches will accomplish with a solid but modest victory. The "X" factor is the Rams. I see a volatile situation there -- with a new coach, a bye week, and a lot of Ram players who suspect they may now be on the bubble. This team could come out very "hyped" or they may give up and mail it in for the rest of the season. A lot depends on how well they like Haslett. I sense they'll come out hyped. Bottom Line: This is a potentially dangerous "trap" game that the Skins are aready aware of. A great test of the Redskins' team character. Prediction: We win, but not by a large margin. The Skins get to show under Zorn that they can rise above the trap, and win. Some in the media are impressed by the intensity of the Haslett-led Rams in this game. Others -- including those Skins-hating mediots -- babble on about how this narrow victory proves the Skins aren't really a Super-bowl caliber team.
