UMDRedskins Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 The past three weeks, the Redskins have played fairly sloppy against less than mediocre teams. Everyone projected the Redskins to demolish these teams and be standing at a 7-1 record by now. Currently we are 6-2 looking ahead at a tough Monday night game against one of the best teams (if not the best) in the NFL. This is a chance for the Redskins to prove themselves to be one of the best. Will the Redskins be the best in the league if they defeat the Steelers? This is our chance to prove ourselves.

KyleVA Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Well, this game the Redskins will moreorless have their backs to the wall. They won't be the favorites, and usually that's when they play their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghis Khan Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I think the reason we played so sloppy against Detroit and the Rams is because our team keeps looking ahead. How many times did we see Alexander in the backfield instead of Portis and the all the inactive players we had today. It seems to me that the players are concerned about next week. Hopefully the Steelers and Giants have a bloodbath type game while we eek a win against the weak Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Is this the biggest game in Fedex field history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan07 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 We have a long week to rest and get all our players ready for Monday night. I hope we come out strong and shut the Steelers down. It's going to be a defensive game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballhenry Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Is this the biggest game in Fedex field history? I'd say its top 10 right now, maybe even top 5 just because this is the best we've been this late in quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyansRangers Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 This team has been playing and play calling to the competition.. Today showed that we can throw the ball but yet we hesistate to do so.. Pitt willl bring the blitz. they play a 3-4 so we shoud be able to throw the ball deep and not short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it has anything to do with looking ahead, but that they just can't seem to get the focus that they need to play good football consistently. They will need that focus against Pittsburgh.

Jason Your right our team has a history of getting complacent when we are doing good or had a previous season go well. Maybe it is a combination of what your thinking about being consistent and what I said of looking ahead. However the most evident thing that happened today was weak pass protection with Samuels out. Next week we should look like a completely different team but will that be enough with a strong underrated Pittsburgh team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 You want to see my guess as to what's going to happen in Pittsburgh..... check out the phrase "Wounded Knee Massacre" at Google. It isn't going to be pretty by ANY stretch of the imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddydean Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 the cowboys in 2005 was defiantly way bigger. We can lose this and it doesn't even matter. Tru dat. In fact, not only am i ok with going 3-1 in every 4 game stretch, but this isn't even an NFC game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire3fighter4 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 if we play like we did the beginning of this game the steelers will wipe the floor with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Next week is huge. To me the Steelers are the best team in the NFL right now and to beat them will cement us in the upper-teir of the NFL. We still have to overcome this developing stigma of playing like crap against inferior teams and this is THE chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydogg3eb Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Am I the only one that doesnt think the Steelers are that great? Sure, they have a good record. They have an aggressive defense for sure, but their offense is very stoppable. Not impressed with them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudMouth12thMan Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I think that we get up for games like this. The team knows the bye is right around the corner, it's a Monday night game, and it's at home. So, I think we have the upper hand here, and I'm guessing that the Skins will come to play. The Steelers offense is less than scary with all of the people that they have banged up or out, so if we can put up at least 21 points, we should roll. Just my guess based on the way that the Steelers are playing today and how they've played when I've watched them the past couple of weeks. They're tough on D, but I wouldn't call them the favorites coming into Fed Ex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 You better tell the inhabitants of Pittsburgh then. Sounds like they should evacuate.(the game is at FedEx) I know where the game is. I also know that from my memory not a single Indian left Wounded Knee. They're all buried there after the Federal Cavalry massacred them. That's what I'm refering to..... the Indians being slaughtered by the "white men". That's exactly what I see happening next Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Mass you forgot there aint' no Indians out there, they just rep the logo and the name. A bunch of country a white boys and ____z out there running things. I think we'll be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I think we'll be OK. We're going to have to disagree on that, Ghost. There is absolutely NOTHING that I have seen in the last three weeks that gives me even the slightest hint of hope against a team that actually has some talent and wants to win. This could be the '08-'09 version of what happened in Foxboro last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
