I see an interesting thing happening with this game. The Jets entered this season with an over-inflated ego, positive they would be the Super Bowl contenders to beat in the AFC. I will admit, I was one of the people who bought into the hype, as my preseason pick was for a Super Bowl matchup between the Jets and Packers.
Oh, how reality can change a season. Instead of playing to their strengths and abilities, the Jets walked into the season letting the success of the past two seasons make them think that fact alone would be enough to propel them through their schedule en route to the Super Bowl that they felt they were entitled to. After all, in their eyes this season would just be a formality on the road to a forgone conclusion.
Instead, they got slapped in the face hard from that evil bitch we know as reality. We're Redskins fans, we have lived this script many times. Now, instead of cruising and bruising their way through, and looking at a first round bye, they are scratching and clawing, desperately trying to get a hold on a possible wildcard.
The Jets are wildly desperate, and willing to do whatever it takes to try and get that playoff spot. Oddly enough, they are coming into Washington to a team they will no doubt be looking past as a write off game before they get to the real games in their schedule. That bodes well for us. You see, we have a new weapon, and reason to be confident. We played a hard fought game, and everything began to come together for us as we rode the legs of Roy Helu to a victory that will undoubtedly give our team all the confidence they need to go in and stick it to a Jets team that will get smacked in the mouth by what they consider a vastly inferior team.
By the time the Jets realize what hit them, and the desperation of the situation truly starts to sink in, it will be too late. Amongst the cheers of J-E-T-S SUCK SUCK SUCK, will be a razzled team, and a razzled young quarterback falling further into panic mode with every pass.
There will be a lot of turnovers in this game, and a lot of noise in FedEx Sunday afternoon. Tears and blood will both be shed, but fear not - it will be from the enemy.
In a surprising display of dominance on all sides of the ball, the Washington Redskin will put the final nail in the coffin that is the Jets' 2011 season. They will leave FedEx with their heads hung low, defeated both in ego and on the scoreboard. We will all rejoice knowing that there just may be some light at the end of this long tunnel after all, and that the future will be brighter than we once thought.
Roy Helu will step into the spotlight as the next great back for the Washington Redskins, and by Sunday night, everybody in football will know his name.
The future is bright ladies and gentlemen, and this will be our first major step in the right direction for the future of this franchise.
