TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I agree Jbooma. I think it is motivation enough for our guys knowing that Dallas would have to win their last two for a playoff spot if we beat them. I would love to see Spurrier's first blowout this week. A good old-fashioned hammering like he used to have back in Florida. Probably won't happen, but it would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I'm expecting to see the most motivated Skins team that we've seen all year this week against Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I love how Spurrier was talking about getting the Cowboys in their "darks" since they don't have much success in their away unis. I like that he actually mentioned that...I haven't really heard our teams say that kind of thing in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Hog Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I'm so excited for this game this weekend that you would swear that we are 8-5 and not 5-8. Not only can this be a big blow to the Cowgirls playoff chances, but it gives us something to rally around for next season, provided we beat them.

Lowghost Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 That would be sweet, our 500th victory being against the Cowboys.:dallasuck Come on Sunday:cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 What is interesting last night on the Spurrier show he said the Dallas game this week is the biggest one of the year. The team is ready for some payback it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRBFan Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 We have incentive for both divisional games left on the schedule. I'm assuming that if we beat Philly in the last game of the year, it will knock them out of home field advantage through the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 All this goes to prove that there is some motivation beyond a paycheck if the players want it badly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hey and let's not forget, if the Redskins win out, the Cowpies lose out, the Panthers lose out, the 49ers lose at least one more, and the Saints and Bucs lose 2 more games, the Redskins take the final wild card slot. Hey, it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symbol Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I did make one mistake on my senarios, it's Seattle and not the Panthers we need to lose out. The Panthers can win their divisions and we shouldn't care. However, if you think about it, we have a decent chance of winning out with only the Eagles as a huge worry. Cowboys, Bears, and the Eagles is our remaining schedule. As for the other teams... Dallas at Washington, N.Y. Giants at Dallas, Dallas at New Orleans San Francisco at Cincinnati, San Francisco at Philadelphia, Seattle at San Francisco Houston at Tampa Bay, Atlanta at Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay at Tennessee N.Y. Giants at New Orleans, New Orleans at Jacksonville Seattle at St. Louis, Arizona at Seattle I know we have to count for some strange teams in some strange games. The toughest of the games that will be coming up are New Orleans at Jacksonville, Arizona at Seattle, and Dallas at New Orleans. The rest of these games seem very doable when it comes to us getting the help we need. Of course the Redskins must also help themselves by winning out.

gridironmike Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 I've hated playing this game the last few years, wondering what we need to do along with what everyone else needs to do. It would be nice to win eleven games and not worry about what the other teams are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 So with the Skins on the brink of the franchises 500th victory......where does that rank them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNumberOne Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 If we're competitive against Philly, this season has not been a total loss. Philly is really hitting their stride now, and if we can be competitive, that will say a lot. If we can beat them, especially if they haven't clinched home field yet... that will say even more. The same should be said about Dallas, too, of course; after all, they will be playing extremely hard for sure. I just hope our players are as motivated as the sound bytes indicate. I've heard those bytes before. A win against Dallas would be the sweetest thing we could get, in my opinion. A win against Philly would be the most hope-inspiring. Go SKINS!

gridironmike Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 Originally posted by NoCalMike So with the Skins on the brink of the franchises 500th victory......where does that rank them? 4th behind the Bears (639), Packers (599....and playing at San Diego), and Giants (571). Two milestones this Sunday?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 SkinsNumberOne, along your lines of thinking...I would say that since we're not going to make the playoffs, you can boil our season down to our two matchups vs. Philly to determine the improvement that we've made from year one to year two. Last year we lost 37-7 and 34-21. Both games were blowouts as we scored two late TDs in the second game. So far this year we were came back to pull within an open 2-point conversion of OT in Philly. I would contend that if we play another competitive game vs. the Eagles (in what appears to be another 11 or 12 win season for them) then we've greatly improved over the course of a year.

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I hope more than just us here are aware of this being a possible 500th victory. That just adds more motivation to get fired up for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
