Don't Fret, All is Not Lost

Sweet team apparel: Check. 53 of my closest friends: Check. Cool Shades: On.

Ok, so the Redskins are 0-1. Big deal. This is not college football where one loss totally derails your season. The Skins lost a road division game. It happens. If you take a look at your handy 2009 Redskins game schedule, you will see that the next 5 games are VERY winnable. Notice I said winnable....this is the NFL, no gimmes. In case you are wondering, the next 5 games are: St. Louis, @ Detroit, Tampa Bay, @ Carolina, Kansas City.

I think next week, hosting the Rams is a HUGE game. The Redskins will have a chance to dominate on both sides of the ball because the Rams do not do anything extremely well. The Seahawks emphasized that point with a 28-0 win over the St. Louis Sheep. Yeah, I think they lose their horn privileges until they score a point. Next week is not do or die, but pretty freakin' close. Everyone will go bananas if the Redskins lose next week.

I just hope the Redskins go in next week, kick some ass, and gain some momentum for a very favorable 4 game stretch before a bunch of divisional games. I am not saying the Redskins will be 5-1, but if this is going to be a playoff year, the Redskins better be 4-2 after 6 weeks.
