It helps if you earn it.

well, IMO we have a long ways to go and the respect will be turned into "same old redskins" easy enough if we don't keep making progress . . .Quote:

Not getting respect can work in your favor. Consider the '82 Skins, everyone thought they were lucky and that Dallas was far better. Dallas found out otherwise. So did everyone else. Getting "trash talked" motivates a team to play better, let 'em blast away at us. The last thing I want is for the Redskins to get full of themselves and start thinking how good they are.

i agree to a point . . . in the past being the underdog meant that we had a chance as the other team might play down to our level . . . thats how we had a chance to win normally . . . THANK GOD that is in the past . . . now, I WANT TO be favored as i believe this team can win . . . a good team does not need bulletin board material to win . . . a good team prepares well, executes and takes care of what they need to do to get the win . . . i am hoping we will be favored more often than not for the next 10 - 15 years anyway!!Quote:

No backing into the playoffs by this team!
It's human nature. As Russ Grimm once said "When you win complacency sets in". That's what you have to avoid. Joe Gibbs understood as well as anyone.Quote:
