Week 6:
Wake Me When It's Over: Washington at Green Bay — One day, there will be a really cool sports documentary about that legendary time when Brett Favre took on Jason Campbell…Or not.

Week 16:
Random Intriguing Storyline: Washington at Minnesota — Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were in the stands for this one last year. This time around? Aliens show up.

OMG the media doesn't like us.

OMG the media doesn't like us.

And in other shocking news...The Redskins are pursuing every free agent on the market.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

5-11. If I weren't a Redskins fan, I wouldn't be interested either.

[shally]

good. maybe we can sneak up on some people the way the saints did last year

Also, Joe Gibbs is going to quit after the 1st loss of the season and go back to Nascar.


And Daniel Snyder will have forced him out by trading away all future draft picks for the next 30 years to get TO.

Don't forget the part about Danny charging fans to use the restrooms at FedEx or charging $20 bucks for a beer.

I, for one, am not looking forward to the retractible roof which includes hanging seats at $60 a pop.

Great. Give him another idea.:)

[colkurtz]

Except for a couple playoff appearances, this team has sucked for a decade. No one is going to make any good predictions for this team.

I'd rather have the media underrate us, then spin a good prediction.

Cowgirls get 7 Nationally televised games??? wt......!!!!

Ok, popcorn and remote please......

[dj_stouty]

This is good for two reasons.

One...the Skins tend to do horribly on national TV, so let someone else have the games.

Two...this gives the nation more opportunities to see the Cowboys get exposed. :D

i agree 120 percent romo has crappy mechanics

[cmdlost29]

Screw the media, they are a bunch of fat out of shape losers. They don't like us? GOOD

Its us us against the world!!!

[skinfan43]

We blew monkey nuts last year, I wouldn't be excited either except I love the Skins.
Up to us to change the perception, Sportsradio 610WIP up here in Philly is SALIVATING over the Egirls first three games, the second of which is vs. the Skins - they all are predicting not only a win, but a butt-whoopin' by Chunky Soup and the crew on us, as well as an 11-5 or 10-6 at WORST record for Philthy.
Be happy most of you don't have to listen to this crap...only time it is fun is every year after the Eturds get eliminated...the phone lines BLOW UP with miserable fans and it is quite entertaining for me;)

The Skins are going to have to step up their game on national TV this year if we are going to have any shot. We've got 3 prime time games against good teams:

Monday night vs. Eagles
Thursday night vs. Bears
Sunday night vs. Giants in NY where we have been terrible lately

No to mention those nationaly televised playoff games!!!

not sure we make that trade!

[Skinreds]

GOOD! Because last year we were considered one of the teams to watch, and im almost positive some analyst predicted we would make it to the super bowl....so thank god they arent talking about us. We have no pressure from the media so its good, and we could be one of those suprise teams.


Also Carolina was HIGHLY predicted by many analysts that they were going to make it backj to the bowl....no point in payin attention to stuff like that. Lets see how it plays out, and avoid the media.

Quote: "Last season, the Cowboys played in the highest rated games on Fox, CBS, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network, and the networks hope to cash in again in 2007, starting with their Sept. 9 opener against the New York Giants on NBC at Texas Stadium."


It seems that the Boys are in high demand again! The Boys were the only NFC team to have a winning record against the AFC at 3-1. Thus when CBS gets a AFC game against the Boys it is a highly rated game as well.

Out of curiosity, do you see that continuing under Wade Phillips and the team’s adjustment period to a new staff or was that a Tuna by-product? If the defense can carry you guys early, I think you will be OK. If not, it could be a rocky start to the season.

I don't think it's any secret that the Cowgirls lead the league in bandwagon fans.

It was Wilbon who said it, but it wasn't on PTI. He wrote it in the Washington Post.

Right, the heck with national games. I don't like them either. Wait until it is national payoffs!

[jtovb2005]

Who cares.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

I think the Cowboys are getting some love nationally because of Romo too. This is still a QB driven league, and the NFL is always trying to find the new flavor beyond Brady and Manning.

I will throw out this little cautionary tale to the Cowboy fans though. Last year's new golden boy QB's were supposed to be Eli leading the Giants in his third year and Culpepper with his new team. We know how those stories worked out.

[skins111111]

I'm lookin at the Thurs night game against da bears but week 17 against the Cowgirls- we should have a playoff spot by then but we could very well knock the the girls right out of contention:)

[joethefan]

I think the league knows they gave HOMO a shiny ball in the playoffs and wanted to compensate for it....LOL

Hmmm, that would also explain Tony being in the booth on MNF. :D

Here we go with the 5 Superbowl trophies. So what, we have 3 and neither of us have won one in awhile. There's nothing that outweighs the Romo botched field goal because he was put in the Pro Bowl after on so many games and everyone thought he was taking them to the promised land Put the brakes on, not yet.

[frankez99]

Take Romo's last six games of the season....and multiply it by 10; that is how bad he is going to tank this year. Dallas would be wise not to give him that extension.

And then Brad Johnson limps on the field.....

I see bad things for the Cowboys, and I LOVE it.

I'm sure those are pretty dusty, as are ours! So please don't brag about stuff that was won when Jesus was still walking the earth! :rolleyes:

[GWBlitzST]

People have no idea how good our team will be with Portis and Campbell on the field together next year. It's gonna be funny and Im gonna be betting like a champ early in the season. If we can find a serviceable SS, our team is going to ball. We just need a good coverage SS and maybe some Dline help, otherwise we are rock solid.

So what are you thinking? 15-1? 14-2? 13-3?

[28Zcomeback]

I love his heart. But after a year, he should have been able to conduct a huddless two-minute drill. I am not convinced that he's the QB of the future.

[James F. Quinn]

After a year and a half [24 games], he hadn't ever practiced with the starters or taken a snap on the field in a game. Considering how little true experience he had, I thought he acquitted himself pretty well. After this offseason of minicamps, QB schools, and TC/Exhibitions, I think he'll be getting some 2-minute drill experience.

He is one starter who should definitely get additional playing time in the exhibitions.

We also had NFL World Championships in '37 & '42, years before the cow-not-quite-men came into existence. Our Redskin history is a proud history!

More like 10-6.

[Red Bear]

our problems in the two minute drill have been apparent throughout Gibbs second stint. we always start off way conservative in two minute drills. seems the first play is always a run as well. your worry about that needs to be in the coaching staff and not in campbell if you ask me
