16 - Redskins - 2-1-0 - Last week, Redskins fans killed us for not moving them up higher than 18. Well, guess what? They lose and move up two spots.

That's funny! Well, we should be about where were ranked. Most of us (skins fans) feel that we are better than that, but for the national media (outside of D.C.), the jury is still out. Some people are saying that our only 2 wins are against teams with a 2nd string quarterback........wait, that sounds like JETS fans. Anyway, I can't wait until we beat a team WITH their starting QB (actually, that SHOULD have been the Giants). Once we do this, then we will get even MORE respect.

Well NE has it's starting QB but if we win Sunday they'll say it was because the rest of NE's team was so beat up. Skins - Respect - IT DON'T COME EASY!!!

You're right Patrick. We should have just beat the Giants and then they couldn't say it.

I love the comment they made. They know even in the loss we had they can see our true talent.

We need to EARN respect. Do you think the sloppy play of the Skins did that? We played horrible in each of the last two first halfs. And pretty good in each of the last two second halfs. Which team is the real Redskins? We believe (or hope) its the latter. Start to play 4 solid quarters of football every Sunday and the rest of the league will start to respect us. Until then . . . well you know

I believe the last two games are earning them respect. Specifically, coming from behind in both games and that's why you see them moving up. I do agree AZ, they need to play a whole solid game. I'm sure the adjustments made at the half has something to do with the differences.

1st ranked offense; 8th ranked defense.........can't be all bad. With those numbers, some (form of) respect is due.

Hey, even I moved the Skins up a place despite the loss.
