Art Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 The Redskins, amped to the roof, feeding off the crowd, might have a perfect storm of a game, clicking on all phases and just demolishing the Bucs by 40. The Redskins, drained from the intensity of a hard work week and too long on the emotional edge of starting the season, under Gibbs, crushed by fan expectations get blown out of the building in a fashion similar to having Spurrier on the sidelines. Either of these extremes to anywhere in between is what we'll see today. Unfortunately none of us really can say we know exactly how this day will go. We don't know enough about the team yet and how it's taken to Gibbs' and Williams' systems. We don't know how they respond to adversity within a game. We don't know exactly how the pieces will fall into place. It's largely a mystery as it really is with most new staffs in new places. Gibbs isn't known as a fast starter, being just 5-7 in opening games. His first three home openers his teams lost as well. But, you always saw the difference in his teams once the season started. Even in a dull, lifeless loss to open the year. You quickly saw the character. Gibbs always did his best in crisis -- and crisis was always after losing a game or two. Whatever happens today, the fact is things are finally as good as they can ever be for a Redskin fan. If we win by 40 or lose by 40, just know, things are a whole lot better now than they've been. Relax. Take it all in. Smile. We finally have something we know we can be happy about . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpy35 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I hoping my wife doesn't go into labor today, at least til after 4pm. She is almost 36 weeks pregnant with twin boys (future Redskins). SHe has been on bed rest for the last 16 weeks. She has been having contractions and we have taken one trip to the hospital. She has told me that she will see what she can do to not have the babies today but she can promise anything. I am just kidding!!! ( I am recoording the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenaa Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 No matter what happens is won't be from a lack of effort or preparation. That's all I care about. In the end, coach will return greatness to Americas real team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Good post Art, but IMO there's no way we lose this game. The crowd is going to be insane, and the players are going to be juiced on adrenaline. We're going to crush the Bucs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Good post, I could hardly sleep last night. It was like Christmas eve. [/Quote]It is amazing how many different threads I have seen today which refer the start of the season as "being like Chirstmas." Maybe football is a sickness. And if it is, I don't want the cure!!!
