Redskins - Superbowl champs? Is it possible?

[smartestmaninamerica]

Short answer, yes.

As it sits now, if we can defeat the Eagles, we would face Tampa Bay in the first round. I've watched Tampa Bay play. We can handle them easily. Next would be 'Da Bears. Sure the bears have a great defense but their offense is suspect. We have beaten them once this year. I believe we have a good chance against them this time.

Who's next? My guess is Seattle. Close game but we win. Again, we have already beaten them. You take away the run like we did against the Giants and we win.

So, is it possible we make a Superbowl appearance? Who in the NFC is playing dramatically better football than the Redskins right now? I know it "seems" like a fantasy, but in reality, it could happen.

Superbowl champs? But to dream! I am guessing we face New England (the Colts have lost some of the magic). Great game. Winnable.

Many will say I am getting ahead of myself. Maybe so, but you don't have to be totally stoned to imagine it. Let me know your thoughts.

First things first. We must beat the Eagles before we can talk SuperBowl.

If we do not talk Super Bowl first there is no reason to beat the Eagles

[TheDirtbags]

We beat the Pats a couple years ago and it was the only lost they had for like a year (going in to the next season)

And now with gibbs.......definite possibility for a win

Wow, this is waaaaay to premature to even think about. We need to secure a playoff spot first.

I think anyone who criticizes you needs to get totally stoned.

I like your optimism, this is the only time in the past 6 years that we have actual reason to be optimistic like this, talking Super Bowl. But don't dwell on it, it should be none other than a fleeting thought.

P.S. I work for the Eagles selling beer. I'll be at the game on Sunday in a huge ugly orange uniform, selling beer to disgruntled Eagles fans but burning up inside at my luck to see a game of this magnitude...and getting paid for it.

For the first time since going 3-0, I'm starting to believe that its possible! If we can continue playing like we did against Dallas and NY, and maintain that level of play on the road, the door is open to us. No team in the NFC is truely dominant. There is no reason a wild card team couldn't go all the way, and I'm starting to like our chances.

Let's see.

We have beaten the Bears.

We have Beaten the Giants.

We have beaten the Seahawks.

We should have beaten the Bucs. (#%@# refs!)

In case the Boys get in; we have beaten them - twice.

Carolina is the only question mark and I think we can beat them.

So the road to the SuperBowl is full of teams who we have already beaten.

However, as said before, we must beat the Eagles this wek for any of the above to mean anything.

Yes it is possible, it is also possible for 11 other teams.

Exactly.

The only problem is that we lost too many of those winnable AFC West games that we screwed ourselves with road playoff games.

But there isn't a team in the NFC that we can't beat and there isn't a really good team that we haven't beaten already anyway but it will be a different ball game at Seattle/NY/Chicago.

But it isn't like Joe Gibbs' past teams haven't won tough road playoff games in some of those places in the past with backup QB's and a large amount of the starting team out injured. If the Redskins win a game in Chicago or Seattle I would not be surprised at all. The tough one would be in NY.

I hope every member of the redskins roster is thinking this all week.

Because if they are, they miss the playoffs. If the whole team overlooks the Eagles (which the vast majority of fans are doing) the Eagles could beat ya.

I agree, if we maintain this level of play I think we can beat any team in the league. The only team that would scare me would be Indy and that's only if they bring their A game.
