Our Super Bowl. Our moment. Our time.

[thelarkascend1ng]

It is for me.
Your telling me Im the only one who has the fear of letdown next year in my head?
After the 2005 season everyone was saying we were going to be great in 2006, look what happened. Im just so sick of the let down feeling. I want this, I feel that this year, this game is our SuperBowl. I dont see us making it to the REAL Super Bowl this year. So, like I said, this is our Super Bowl.

RG3 wasn't our quarterback in 2005. ShanAllen weren't overseeing the direction of the team either. We all love Joe, but I don't think the team was pointed in quite the right direction with the way we handled FA signings, and the draft. (Cerrato).

It's a big game, but it's not "our" Superbowl.

I wish you would change the title from "our" to "my". Its not my Superbowl. The Superbowl is my Superbowl. It's a shame the last 20 years have beaten some of our fans into this. I'm embarrassed just reading that....

I have to agree. If you objectively look at what the team has in the past 6 weeks, they've:

- Beaten four division rivals (er, won 4 games against division rivals)
- Beaten a Ravens team that won a tough division
- Won a road game with our backup rookie quarterback starting

This winning streak isn't a fluke. The defense has stepped up and become functional, and the offense has been incredibly efficient and effective. We're selling the team way short if we don't expect to be a tough puzzle to solve for our playoff opponents.

Obviously, first things first: This is all meaningless if we go out and lose on Sunday; but I expect us to give our playoff opponents fits if/when we get there.

Why? Im not ashamed to admit it? What the heck have we had the past 13 years in the regular season as big as this? This is the start of our future, this is going to be the sign of things to come, thats why I said this is like our Super Bowl. I dont know why some of you take it so wrong? This game is so big to me, and for good reason. Fans dont need to show confidence, were not the ones on the field playing. Fans can be honest, its the beauty of being a fan. and well, this is honestly how I feel. Not ashamed at all.

I know what you mean, I said I feel the same way but I would never admit that to a fan of an opposing team. The last time I felt we could do something was 1999 and then 2005 but after that devestation I'll take this as my Super Bowl and like someone else put it everything else after a win Sunday is like "playing with house money"

This isn't "our Super Bowl." The Super Bowl is THE Super Bowl. This is merely a statement game that we OWN the NFC-East, despite Scumbag **** -head Mara's collusional dirty tricks. It is a huge game for us, but is NOT "our Super Bowl!"

[Year_of_The_Monk]

I agree that this game is extremely important for us as a fanbase and the players but this is not the Super Bowl. This is the game playing for all the marbles in the division which is a hell of a prize. However, once we get in the playoffs, ALL BETS ARE OFF and I will be cheering for our boys to crash the big show. Like Mike Shananigans already said, there is only one winner at the end of the season. But I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be happy if we swept D town.

It all boils down to RGIII and coaching....Shanahan's > Garrett...

Skins 34
boys 24

I just wish I had that confidence. Seems like every time I get that confidence we blow it. Maybe its good Im sticking to the pessimistic side of things, in a superstitious way.

Oh horsehockey, we all know it is the Redskins boxers I hadn't washed since the bye. Get over it, this is not OUR Super Bowl. This is the most meaningful game the team has played for a long time, but is not the Super Bowl. And you having or not having confidence has not one inkling of sway, sorry to bust your bubble. That said, enjoy the moment, root for the team to win, share in that.

Advice from a rookie qb-

"Whenever you play the moment up too much, it can become too big to seize the moment. You just want to make sure you don’t make something so big that you can’t grab a hold of it. So I think a lot of guys are not necessarily downplaying the game, but are not going to talk themselves up like this is the most important game of our lives."

No doubt about it, this game is a huge game, and possibly a statement game for us. Superbowl/ Nah.

But I think many will agree, this is quite possibly the beginning of a long tenure atop the NFC East. Whether we win any playoff games, well, that remains to be seen; there are some very hot and competitive teams out there, like Seattle, who could be a flash-in-the-pan or a perennial 9-10 win team per year, and who I really rather not face in a playoff game.

But one thing is for sure; if our secondary was better, we wouldn't be in this position; we'd be battling for home field or 2nd seed, and IMO the team is already a winner in my eyes, despite the defensive woes.
Lets just hope this 'issue' gets corrected in the offseason; meanwhile, if the hot streak continues, well thats just more cheese on the enchilada...

Ok. I said this yesterday. Other mods have said similar. I'll repeat myself. It's time to quit making dumb (sorry) or unnecessarily repetitive threads for awhile.

We're all jazzed. There are plenty of existing "I have thoughts and feelings" threads for everyone to talk about their thoughts and feelings, as well as a number of fine specific topic conversations.

Start a new thread if you really have something different (and un-dumb) to say, or have a new article to discuss, etc.
