Am I the only worried about the hype of RG3 in this game and a possible let down?

[redskins4ever28]

Maybe its just because Im a Redskin fan and Im used to being letdown, but I just was on NFL.com and there is now an article about how all the Giants players are giving praise to RG3 and how they fear him etc; It just seems to me that they are just building and building this up and its going to really suck if he does bad and we have a massive let down Monday Night. I pray it doesnt happen,m but it just seems like, as a Redskin fan, this is always what happens. Last year we were 3-1 going into the bye and you really thought we had something, and then bam, we go 2-10 the rest of the season When McNabb came, we beat the Cowboys opening night and again we thought maybe we had something, of course then we all know how that turned out. I LOVE Rg3, and I LOVE this team, I love what Shanny has done, but I wish all these reporters would just shut up because its like the more they build something up, the more it makes me worry its going to be a giant let down... I cant be the only Skins fan who thinks this way right? Given this teams past, Im not the only one, am I?

RG3 hasn't let me down yet this season. Why would he now?

HOPE is all we have, padawan. #HTTR

RG3 has yet to have a let down game this year. Now his teammates on the other hand...

But I think having Garcon back really spurred on the other receivers last week. I'm hoping that continues. And if the defense can eliminate giving up the big play, I think our odds are very good.

RG3 will be fine.

Don't worry about it. RG3 is special...he's been at an incredible level of hype since before the season and hasn't faltered.

RG3 is the least of my concerns, he doesnt let down. Its a mentality us redskin fans have with the team as a whole over the last decade. We always get let down, lets not look to the past but look forward to the future and RG3

Without trying to sound like I'm going overboard, RGIII is a special kind of athlete.

Few are as mentally tough and physically gifted as he is. Athletes in this special category legitimately get better under pressure.

That's not to say he can't have a bad game, he's human. However, I wouldn't bet against him.

BOO THIS MAN!! Haha, rg3 has already surpassed my expectations this season..anything else positive is a bonus

Last year we were 3-1 going into the bye and you really thought we had something

Anybody that thought we "had something" last year was not paying attention. If the 3-1 start had people get their expectations up, it is their own fault.

RG3 is an outstanding player. I have no idea what he will bring on Monday, but he's a gamer and I expect him to play well. My biggest concern as a fan going into Monday, is that I feel like we could play well and still lose. Our holes on defense are still glaring. If we can get She-li to cough it up a couple of times, I really like our chances. If we don't force any turnovers, I think we put up some points and still fall short.

The bigger the stage, the bigger he plays.

[RedskinsNation]

Well we cant worry about things we cant control.

I will say this....everyone here/Redskins fans across the country have been wanting a Superstar QB for years...decades maybe even. We've been in the doghouse as a franchise for nearly 2 decades it feels. The RG3 hype was out of control leading to the draft and even after. So what happens...? RG3 goes out this year and becomes "RG3" the NFL STAR. Period. He goes out on a national stage on Turkey day in front of the country on what was apparently the highest rated game on FOX this Fall and has a HUGE game. He turned up the hype and excitement up a notch and it just so happens that he plays the Super Bowl Champs the following week on MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. You honestly couldnt have concocted a scenario this good. I dont know whats going to happen on Monday...he may dominate, may lay an egg but you got to embrace the RG3 hype that is currently at full volume. Would you rather it be this way or being dogged for 24 hrs a day on espn, radio, in the papers and by the media in general?

If RG3 and the Redskins dont win and "IF" RG3 has a bad game then it will go down as a learning experience. Regardless, embrace the hype, he's certainly deserved it. And we have deserved it as fans of a team that has had hardly any good publicity whatsover in the recent past. HTTR!

[KyleVA]

We can only hope that RGIII continues his stellar play under the bright lights.

[JMUSkins]

Given what we have been through as Redskins fans it is natural to be ready for a let down. I'm so thankful that RG3 has given us reason to hope for a win... because we literally have the ability to beat anyone, even at this early stage.

Sounds crazy, but Monday night's game comes down to the fans in attendance. I have been in that stadium when the opposing team simply could not function because of the crowd noise (see Dallas, 2005). That stadium has the capability of being insanely loud, and I think it will be on Monday night. This might be the first game in years where we will have a true home field advantage.
