gaterskins Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 do you feel like we have been lucky so for with all the injuries to teams we are playing??? at first it was the Jets, then Atlanta, back then the Giants and Tampa Bay was healthy, now, they have a number of key injuries: FB Mike Alstott, neck sprain, out WR Joe Jurevicius, right knee sprain, out LB Jack Golden, left foot sprain, out CB Brian Kelly, left pectoral strain, doubtful WR Keyshawn Johnson, left thigh bruise, very questionable LB Shelton Quarles, left forearm fracture/elbow dislocation, questionable RB Aaron Stecker, right knee sprain, questionable WR Karl Williams, left hamstring, questionable FB Darian Barnes, shoulder sprain, probable DE Greg Spires, right calf strain, probable S Jermaine Phillips, right hamstring strain, probable if only Sapp and Rice, and Broocks get hurt we will be alright. just kidding! i never wish anybody get hurt but we are lucky when it comes to teams we are playing thats hurt, we just have to capatalize on it.. I bet all year we will be playing teams that is missing key players and all we have to do is beat them.. it didn't happend with Philly but can it happen this week with Tampa?

TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 That's true, but I'm done getting excited about other teams' injuries. Didn't do us too much good vs. the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaterskins Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 we need to beat a healthy team as well in order to gain any respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaterskins Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 did anybody hear anything about Byron Chamberlain ? will he get a few snaps Sunday? If he does play it would provide atleast, some protection for Patrick, he could help block as well as catch a few passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 You're very correct about earning respect. However, I wouldn't worry too much about that until later this year. We just need to keep getting the Ws we can now. When things shake out later on this year and we have a game where we can earn some respect, we should step up to the plate! I'm less worried about respect and more worried about being above .500 going into the BYE. I don't really rate wins...if we win, then we win. If we somehow get to 10 wins this year and people want to rip on it...fine by me! I'll be watching playoff games. You can't worry about respectable wins at all.

BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Have we learned nothing? Well coached teams that have alot of injuries tend to rally around each other and compensate for their loss in talent by playing better as a team. This was true when we had Gibbs it was also true when we played the so-called ''injury depleted'' Patriots and Eagles this year. I expect nothing less than a maximum effort balls-out performance from the Gruden coached Bucs next week. IF we win it will not be because of their injuries.

bulldog Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 you win respect by winning games, plain and simple. if the Redskins had taken care of business against the Eagles, all that would have been said is 'look at those surprising Redskins out ahead of the NFC East at 4-1' no one remembers after the season is over who you played or what condition their team was in.

yonisredskins Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I would rather remain under-rated and given no respect all season, while our team racks up Wins. Being underrated will anger the Skins and make them want to prove themselves every sunday. IMHO, that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I guess you can call it lucky, but for the most part, I rather be good. The Skins should be able to kick the living stuff out of teams banged up as bad as the Pats, Atlanta, and Philly, yet we squeeked by on two, and lost one. A win is a win is a win, but the Skins need to get it together real quick, we face some solid teams that aren't as dinged up. I see it more as we have been lucky to win the way we have stomped on our own winkies in every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 The sad part of this is, we're a good team that doesn't seem to know that we are. It's like the team and coaches are afraid if we get a lead and when we're losing is the only time they get up for a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
