People - Please get some Perspective

[greenmile]

So some people start giving us some credit, and we're just eating it up?

So we think we're in the top of the league now because we're, what, 9-6?

Let's not forget how stagnant our offense can be. Seriously, think what would have happened last week if the Giants were able to contain Moss? Guess what, we lose. We won that game on 2 lucky "please catch it" deep balls, one of which wasn't even well-thrown.

What happens when our gameplan is outmatched? Do we pull another Raiders game, where we just look inept on offense and unable to go to plan B? It doesn't seem like the Redskins ever have a plan B, and that worries me.

Are you sure our defense isn't going to throw another Bucs game, where we get destroyed by the big play again and again?

Let's all hope the Redskins don't decide to turn the ball over like we did against the Cardinals, cause we won't be able to survive that up in the Philly.

Things are on the up right now, sure. But I think you people need to realize that winning 4 straight does not make us a consistent team. In fact, just look at the Arizona game for such proof (we won the game on a kick return). I like our defense still, but even with the points we've scored the past two weeks, I feel that 2 years of an inconsistent and unpredictable offense does not change overnight.

Hopes destroyed, back to reality: Eagles 17, Redskins 14

What team can count on you as a fan? Certainly not the Redskins. So don't use "we" or "our" in your posts.

No, I'm not actually. I would die for the Redskins. I'm just being a realist and preparing for the worst.

[cjcdaman]

Delete this thread. One win from the playoffs and you have THAT to say? Some one said it before. Some people just don't want a winning team. They want their team to stink so they have something to complain about. You liberal MFin...........blah blah blah!

[28rdsknsfn28]

#1 if you want to take out luck plays take out the tip and catch from the Giants

#2 even if you don't do #1 we still win by 1

#3 Yes we are 9-6 but think about how close we were t0 14-1

#4 HAIL TO THE REDSKINS

Somebody says something against "SUPERBOWL!" and you guys can't give me a practical reply? I suppose people can't come here and point out the team's real shortcommings? Let's just turn our heads from our team's issues? Oh, I forgot, we have no issues.

[fansince62]

greenmile....well...to borrow a popular thought these last few days....your timing is off!

but welcome to the board just the same.

[TheSteve]

Um, we didn't win the game on those two throws. We won BY those two throws. Big difference. You don't win a game on two touchdowns(like the dallas game) and win by 15.

[GOSKN5]

I am sorry about what ever happened to make you down like this man....

as for the rest of us... we are going to continue to ride this high.. which will last until we lose and then some... it also wont end this weekend...

you have to have faith in your team... how can you not??? We just beat the giants and cowboys in very convincing fashion... is that to say that we will demolish philly.. nope... could we lose... yep... but you have to have some faith in your team man...

i promise you everyone on this board knows the dangers that are out there with us going to philly..... but a post like this.. at a time like this... come on man... you could have posted this before the 4 soon to be 5 game streak had started and people would agree... but our team is playing with heart and soul.... and sometimes that enough right there to win ball games......

GO SKINS... WHOOOOOOOOO

[Phat Hog]

Get perspective from a random sampling of 'what if' statements.....yea, right :doh:

[fansince62]

"but our team is playing with heart and soul.... and sometimes that enough right there to win ball games......"

uhhhhh.....yup! including even LA.

[dreamingwolf]

greenmile Im willing to put a ban bet up with you if the mods will comply

If my team wins on sunday(Redskins), and your team of the week loses(Fecals) then you will be banned from posting till next season starts. If your team of the week(fecals) wins then I will be banned till next season starts. By next season I mean the start of the 06 regular season.

Again this will require the mods to agree to it. You barely post here, and your the worst kind of 05'er a sept 05'er so Im definately putting more up to lose than you are. So what do you say?

[FightForOldDC21]

lol ur not gay i swear

[greenmile]

What happened? How about 13 years of dissapointing seasons, that's what happened.

I hope we win. But there's a difference between hoping and thinking. Do I think we'll win, I don't know... maybe. I suppose there's a fine line between being a realist and a pessimist.

Perhaps this is bad timing, but after coming to this board and all I was reading was PLAYOFF predictions, I couldn't help but write this. I scared as sht about this game, and it just seems like some of you guys have already chalked up the win.

[MeNoRevs]

#1 if you want to take out luck plays take out the tip and catch from the Giants

I hate when people say "look how close we are from being * - *"

Why do only close loses count as "close wins" and not vice versa.

We are very close from being 5-10

He is right by his post btw. We needed antonio brown to run one back against ARIZONA for crying out loud. Sometimes our offence clicks, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes our defence can play like the 85 Bears, sometimes it can play like 05 Texans

Lets hope this week we keep playing like we are on Offence, and our D steps it up this week!

[SHARPASAARROWHEAD]

If the smallest largest word there is!

If frogs had wings they wouldnt bump their ass!

We are going to win and in a big way! 35-7:helmet: :eaglesuck :eaglesuck

[Bang]

Cry me a river.
I wonder,, did the Rams feel the same way on their way to a Super Bowl following a 4-12 season and a decade of being the worst team in football? How about the Patriots,, think they felt like this when they went 5-11 then won their first of 3 Super Bowls? Think Bengals fans are whining about the past?
Pessimism sucks, especially in sports. What is the point of even being a fan if you can't allow yourself a little hope?
Take up bowling. In some places, they'll put runners down the gutters so there is no chance of failure, then you can be happy.

[canesluver]

Seriously, think what would have happened last week if the Giants were able to contain Moss?

**But they didn't!**

What happens when our gameplan is outmatched? Do we pull another Raiders game, where we just look inept on offense and unable to go to plan B? It doesn't seem like the Redskins ever have a plan B, and that worries me.

**That game was horrendous, certainly a lowlight..**

Are you sure our defense isn't going to throw another Bucs game, where we get destroyed by the big play again and again?

**We were missing both Griffin and Taylor. That might explain the defensive woes in this game.**

Let's all hope the Redskins don't decide to turn the ball over like we did against the Cardinals, cause we won't be able to survive that up in the Philly.

**We turned the ball over and still won, Philly just lost to them.**


Hopes destroyed, back to reality: Eagles 17, Redskins 14

no one that would "die for the Skins" would make a prediction like this. especially NOW, especially after the last 2 games.

please, be a little less transparent.

I don't understand you people. Someone predicts an upset in the other direction and you're not a fan? Fans cheer for their team, and love it when they win, and hate it when they lose. I probably hate it more than others when we lose, because my whole weak is ruined. I suppose the let down is a bit easier if I tell myself we're going to lose before the game.

[docsandy]

So some people start giving us some credit, and we're just eating it up?

So we think we're in the top of the league now because we're, what, 9-6?

What's wrong with eating up credit when we've been down for so long. I actually do understand your pessimism.. I learned from the best pessimist there ever was.. my father. He'd never get excited about a potential win until the gun sounded because he was sure "the other shoe would drop" and we'd lose.

There's a fine line between realism and pessimism.. and you've crossed that. There's been many, many posts here about the focus on Philadelphia and not making predictions. I doubt you will find one post on here from me personally about any predictions on playoffs. I've repeated over and over we have to win this game.

That being said.. I am hopeful and I feel positive. Why? Because I, like you, lived through the first Joe Gibbs era. The changes we've seen the past 4-5 weeks are not flukes.. they are "Joe Gibbs football" taking root and staying.. with the players really believing. That's my feeling. That's where my hope comes from.

Think what would have happened last week if the Giants were able to contain Moss? Guess what, we lose. We won that game on 2 lucky "please catch it" deep balls, one of which wasn't even well-thrown.

But they didn't contain Moss. Neither did the Cowboys. And if they double eteam him, we have Cooley, and Thrash. And the beauty of Moss is that they don't have to be "target perfect" passes.. he goes for the ball, the ball doesn't have to come with him. Result? Less interceptions.


It doesn't seem like the Redskins ever have a plan B, and that worries me.

You were around in Gibbs era 1. And you don't think there's a plan B. No comment on this statement.


Are you sure our defense isn't going to throw another Bucs game, where we get destroyed by the big play again and again?

No, not sure. But hopeful. As long as they are focused and play their game and positions.


Personally, I never make predictions.. has nothing to do with faith, hope or whatever.

[Supreme Wu]

I can't believe the ages next to some of these posts. No way so many of you people are out of your early teens.

The first poster made a valid point. We haven't been consistent on the road. At home we have, aside from one complete dud. Losing to the Raiders at home was inexcusable and costly. The other home loss IIRC was to the Chargers in OT, no shame there -- the Chargers beat the Colts AND Pats at their houses too and it didn't take OT to do it.

ON THE ROAD though

- turned Chris Friggin Simms from dud to superstar in the span of one game
- won in AZ by less than a TD on a somewhat flukey play
- got housed by the Giants in brutal fashion
- pulled Dallas from out of god-knows-where at the last possible second (though that was still sweet as anything)



On the other hand

- Won 4 games in a row (2 on the road)
- dominated a tough rival with everything to play for
- got partial revenge for previous beating
- have a short trip to a badly wounded team to get to the playoffs



So there's plenty of things to support both sides of the argument. There is the possibility of dissapointment but there's also plenty of good reasons to be confident. Rather than sitting here denying that each side has a valid opinion, most of you guys are just attacking each other. That's pretty sad.

:stfu:....yer killin' my buzz..........

[onedrop]

Why not, Die Hard which no one will question who his loyalty lies with, make a similar statement, before we played the Cowboys.

granted, but the cowpukes were in a lot better shape than the iggles are. and that was the first of two great games by the Skins.
at this point we have thouroughly beaten two division rivals in a row that were healthy compared to philly. so it really isnt a comparrison.

sorry, but you can tell someones true feeling not by what they say but HOW they say it.

"hopes dashed, BACK to REALITY"

pretty much seals it for me. all other naysaters this week have been of the "i have a bad feeling about this one" ilk

see the difference?

Green mile,

Hey - I think you are entitled to your opinion.

But if you are down on the Redskins and have a hard time being optimistic and cheer for them than maybe it is time to move on? I mean really - if ever a Skin fan had something to be excited and optimistic about it would be this coming game.

I (like you) have read some of the many threads that talked about who we would face in the playoffs or even "when" we get the Super Bowl. I have read some of these threads and rolled my eyes because nothing is for sure or certain yet at this point. But (unlike you) I start to enjoy the fact that we are able to talk about these things FINALLY! Why not have some faith in this Redskin team? Why not just say you are concerned about this last game but you will be pulling for the team. Why not pick the Skins in a close game rather than the Eagles? :2cents:

The Skins aren't by any stretch a dynamo on the road. They have also played very well in some of the road games. I don't think the original poster would have gotten this kind of reaction, if he didn't end the post with a prediction of a Skins loss. What kind of fan predicts his team will lose the most important game of the season with the playoffs on the line and riding a 4 game winning streak?

[Operations]

Here's a reality check for YOU, greenmile. The Eagles are a TERRIBLE team now. They're just gawd-awful. They have no players! Meanwhile the Redskins are playing very well and with a lot of confidence.

There's absolutely no rational reason to think the Redskins will lose this game. They won't.

[hail2skins]

Predicting a Skins loss to an Eagles team which has McNabb, Owens, and Westbrook is one thing.

Predicting a Skins loss to an Eagles team that is 7 point dogs AT HOME is another.

I think Greenmile, as he stated, is just preparing himself for the worst. I'm scared of this game as well, given the track record of the Skins in Philly over the past, say, 20 years or so. But this is a game the Skins SHOULD win. Whether they will or not remains to be seen. I think there are a good number of people on ES that are confident but nervous.

I don't know quite what to think about people saying I'm not a Redskins fan. I'm sorry I'm not the stereotypical "YAY SKINS" fan that think's we're going 13-3 after starting 3-0 (a poll on redskins.com, in which I think 50% say 13-3). I may not be the most optimistic person, but I can assure you I'm probably more of a die-hard redskins fan that most of you here. Each week is life-and-death to me when the Redskins play. Check out my earlier posts, maybe that will show you I'm a true fan.

As for this bet, that's just stupid. Nobody wants to celebrate more than me. But you're not the ones who will live in misery for months if we lose on Sunday. So I'm taking the precautionary route, give me a break.

We are on a high. We deserve it. For the first time in years......I am excited in December.

You can continue to spread your :( and you can continue to spout the negativity........but you won't burst my bubble.

I dont mean no harm, but your weekend is allready ruined even before kickoff.Lord knows I've been down on our Skins this season, but things change at the right possible moment. They will win this Sunday, and Lord willing in the weeks to come. If not,we know they tried. Im happy with that.

You know what, I just read some of the weekly Portis interview thread (i loved the interview) and saw the guy who started this thread, also complain about that light hearted interview being a distraction (wtf).

So maybe he really is just a jerk.

[RedskinsOP]

The Giants are a far better team than the Eagles, and if you think we won that game solely on luck, you must believe nearly every game of the season depends on luck. Look at the Buccanneers. They are actually a pretty awful team with a rediculously easy schedule (Titans, Saints, Texans, 49ers, Jets). In that game, the luck at the end didn't swing our way (2PT Conv).

But, I think it is much more than luck. You just must be crazy to think you win 4 in a row, scoring highly in the last two based solely on luck. Think the Giants didn't get lucky with that ludicrous pass-interference call on Shawn Springs?

[Jumbo]

So some people start giving us some credit, and we're just eating it up?

So we think we're in the top of the league now because we're, what, 9-6?

Let's not forget how stagnant our offense can be. Seriously, think what would have happened last week if the Giants were able to contain Moss? Guess what, we lose. We won that game on 2 lucky "please catch it" deep balls, one of which wasn't even well-thrown.

What happens when our gameplan is outmatched? Do we pull another Raiders game, where we just look inept on offense and unable to go to plan B? It doesn't seem like the Redskins ever have a plan B, and that worries me.

Are you sure our defense isn't going to throw another Bucs game, where we get destroyed by the big play again and again?

Let's all hope the Redskins don't decide to turn the ball over like we did against the Cardinals, cause we won't be able to survive that up in the Philly.

Things are on the up right now, sure. But I think you people need to realize that winning 4 straight does not make us a consistent team. In fact, just look at the Arizona game for such proof (we won the game on a kick return). I like our defense still, but even with the points we've scored the past two weeks, I feel that 2 years of an inconsistent and unpredictable offense does not change overnight.

Hopes destroyed, back to reality: Eagles 17, Redskins 14

Ok, Oldfan, now I know its not you. :laugh: ..you'd never give the game to the igglets no matter what.

Whatever you're playing here pardner, knock yourself out.

[redphoenix]

Our team throughout this season wasnt operating on all cylinders.Weve been off balance alot but now we are finally starting to get that "Gibbsian" gel.Sure weve been inconsistent but for a team to be playing like weve been late in the season when most teams are running out of gas were picking up steam.You cant use the excuse of LUCK or boil it down to a couple of plays.This is a team that has incredible talent,a huge heart,blue collar guys,that are finally developing Chemistry,not luck sir.

[gclark84]

No, I'm not actually. I would die for the Redskins. I'm just being a realist and preparing for the worst.


I have some of the same concerns as you expressed above but after winning 4 straight MUST games the Redskins will not take the Eagles lightly. Joe Gibbs is our coach not Norv, Marty or Steve. Joe Gibbs and Greg Williams will not let this team forget what it took to get to this level.

The Eagles are a shadow of what they were last year, especially on Offence and if we remember what our #1 goal is going into Sunday's game then I believe we will notch another MUST win game. I just can't believe you have been watching the last 4 weeks...

I saw a stat that shows most NFC Eastern teams struggle this time of year when playing in the heat of the desert(Arizona), which we did manage to win.

We dominated the Rams in the 4th quarter in their house on that crap surface that they play on as we should have!

We destroyed a Dallas team that was out for revenge and should have had a sense of urgency against us....35-7.... I guess we were lucky again. if bledsoe wasn't sacked 7 times and didn't throw those picks and if portis didn't run for over hundred... IF...IF...IF..... If we would have won the 3 games at home that we should have then we would be looking at 13-3.

We beat a Giant team that blew our doors off 36-0 earlier in the year under circumstances that any team would have had trouble playing under. We beat them 35-20 and you call the 2 passes Moss caught as lucky? I will put my money on Moss against most dbacks in the NFL any day of the week! I guess the personal foul right before halftime and the tip to Tomer was a planned play by the Giants... How bout their interception for a TD by blackburn? I guess all that tape study helped in with the hey Mom look what I got interception. I guess next you will tell us how the refs after killing us for most of the last 2 years with horrific calls are suddenly on our side! Giant fans are now blaming the Refs...along with Shockey... Hey Jeremy your own coach said that when you are in that tight with a LB yor rarely get an interferance call because you are both bumping into each other... I believe we win the game on Sunday. The Redskins need us now don't give other teams more credit than they deserve!

[SonnyRules]

So some people start giving us some credit, and we're just eating it up?

So we think we're in the top of the league now because we're, what, 9-6?

Let's not forget how stagnant our offense can be. Seriously, think what would have happened last week if the Giants were able to contain Moss? Guess what, we lose. We won that game on 2 lucky "please catch it" deep balls, one of which wasn't even well-thrown.

What happens when our gameplan is outmatched? Do we pull another Raiders game, where we just look inept on offense and unable to go to plan B? It doesn't seem like the Redskins ever have a plan B, and that worries me.

Are you sure our defense isn't going to throw another Bucs game, where we get destroyed by the big play again and again?

Let's all hope the Redskins don't decide to turn the ball over like we did against the Cardinals, cause we won't be able to survive that up in the Philly.

Things are on the up right now, sure. But I think you people need to realize that winning 4 straight does not make us a consistent team. In fact, just look at the Arizona game for such proof (we won the game on a kick return). I like our defense still, but even with the points we've scored the past two weeks, I feel that 2 years of an inconsistent and unpredictable offense does not change overnight.

Hopes destroyed, back to reality: Eagles 17, Redskins 14

You know this is about the third time you have posted garbage regarding the Skins. In another thread you admitted to lying. What elese are you lying about?

Let's see, your screen name is "greenmile", you promote violence at football games, and you think the Skins will loose to Philly.

I called you out as an faecal fan before and now I'm convinced of it.

If it sounds like a duck, walks like a duck, and smells like at duck....well it's a duck. :eaglesuck

agreed! This guy clearly isnt a skins fan, b/c he wouldnt dare trash the team, and predict an upset against the eagles, when we clearly are the second hottest team in the NFC. By the age in his avy, he might be suffering from alzheimers, or something, b/c he clearly doesnt know what he's talking about. Go back to Philly you troll.

He's not 75; he told me in another thread that he was lying and his real age was 95.

If he is 95, God Bless him. But I know he's not a Skins fan.

I'll just put him on my ignore list so I don't have to listen to his garbage anymore.

[greenmile]

Read all of my posts from this board and tell me I'm not a skins fan. Eagle's fan? Christ people. You think I've been hanging around here since September just to pull some stunt now?

Also, promote violence at games? No, I was just saying that I hate seeing opposing fans at FedEx, it makes me sick. For those people talking about brining Giants fan friends to the game last week, they shouldn't be allowed back to FedEx!

If you have to explain it once, it wasn't that good. After that, just call it a day.

Nah. Just because you may need to seek some kind of therapy doesn't mean a thing.

[skinsfan93]

Greenmile...I'm not sure if you are a Beagles fan, but the writing seems to be on the wall.

My question is that you post this and seem to ask people to come back down to earth as far as predicitng playoffs and beyond. You say this based on the fact that we "pulled" a few games out and played poorly in some other games.

Well.....welcome to the NFL! What team beside the Colts (who had some close games this year) can say they were great all year long. Even the Seahags lost a couple of games and possibly more. The Chargers were considered by many as the 2nd best team in the AFC and they lost to the Phins???

We have been competitive in every single game except for ONE! That's an amazing thing to me and it all starts with the coaching. Someone said earlier that Gibbs won't allow this team to take Philly light. I couldn't agree more.

Instead of looking at things half empty, people are just looking at things half full. Oh...btw...remind me not to allow you to ever babysit any of my newphews or nieces. They may end up killing themselves after hearing the gloom and doom coming from you. :laugh:

What you need to realize is that our team is one win away from going from 5-6 to 10-6 and in the playoffs. If you can't get excited about that, then I can't imagine what being you must be like when we lose 5 in a row.

[greenmile]

You people have got me all wrong. I'm awestruck at this team's turnaround the past 4 weeks. The past two weeks was the most fun i've had at FedEx ever by far.

I'm just playing Devil's advocate here. When opposing teams visit our message board, I don't like that all they see is "Super bowl baby!" posts. Not only don't I like the reputation that lead's to (over-confident, delusional fans), but it could also set this board up for disaster if we lose. Let's be a little more conservative around here, and let's wait until we make the playoffs before we start talking super bowl.

[dent19]

#1 if you want to take out luck plays take out the tip and catch from the Giants

#2 even if you don't do #1 we still win by 1

#3 Yes we are 9-6 but think about how close we were t0 14-1

#4 HAIL TO THE REDSKINS

I believe


13-2 we shouldve lost the Dallas game (just being real)

[Walking Deadman]

greenmile has a point.

We saw it earlier in the year with the Giants (oh no we're back to the 2004 team again) and when we played the Bucs, Raiders and Chargers....."we're winning, but we're playing not to lose and can't finish games"

So, again I understand why GM is stating this in that in the past everytime (in the past few years) when we have a meaningful game....we don't play well. And the teams of the past have been heartbreakers.

That said, this team is playing well and with momentum. How you pick the Eagles over Skins (Giants over Skins last week I would have bought) when the Eagles are decimated with injuries is beyond me.

Worried about the game? You have a right to be, the Eagles are a tough team (even with alot of starters out), we're playing at the Linc. on the road.
And we're playing a fellow NFCE rival.

It'll be a tough game, but there is no need to be so pessimistic anymore, we all know the stakes. So, to hell with it, save the analysis for when it's over and let's go Redskins :eaglesuck :eaglesuck :eaglesuck
(BTW: The last comments were very similar to the thread where a very prominent poster predicted that Dallas was going to destroy us at FedEx except they've been changed for the Eagles game)

well douche bag(thats french for greenmile) take my challenge, I have more to lose than you since Im a Redskin fan season ticket holder and love everything about my team and you are a snipe picking troll. You have nothing to lose in the bet, all you lose is your IP being banned from this site disallowing you to hate on the skins. I have to lose celebrating with my fellow fans our wins. You dont have anything to lose.

I know you have no spine since your not a Redskin fan, but I implore you to grow one and accept my challenge.

edit: If Im wrong about my french translation of douche bag, blame public schools.

[Hershey Pork]

I don't understand you people. Someone predicts an upset in the other direction and you're not a fan? Fans cheer for their team, and love it when they win, and hate it when they lose. I probably hate it more than others when we lose, because my whole weak is ruined. I suppose the let down is a bit easier if I tell myself we're going to lose before the game.
Anybody remember Mass_SkinsFan? Is it me or does Greenmile sound a lot like that guy?

all skins fans can do is prepare for philly , it is goin to be a tuff game , let me quote a living legend.....

On his mindset heading into the Redskins' game against the Eagles:
"Right now, for anyone in this organization--or, I would hope, in the entire town--to be focused on anything but Philadelphia is ridiculous. We're getting ready to play the most important game that a lot of our players have played--in a place where it's extremely tough to play and in a place where [the home team] just took the Giants into overtime. If we lose the game, we aren't going anywhere, so my mindset is on one thing: Philadelphia. I'm not thinking about anything else but that."- Joe Gibbs

i think the skins will win this game but its going to be tuff , if u think it is a lock we will lose , that said we do have a great team this year and if we take it one game at a time and pray for a win theirs no telling how far we can go!!!:cheers:

[SkinsFTW]

Yes we are 9-6 but think about how close we were to 14-1

#4 HAIL TO THE REDSKINS

I believe

Exactly. And the team is playing great football at the time of the year it is required. Unlike the Colts, Giants, Panthers, Chargers or Bengals. They all have been losing games that they should be winning this time of the year.

The teams that are winning against other good teams? Patriots and Redskins and Seahawks. The only thing the Redskins haven't done is beat a good team on the road. Neither have the Seahawks though, the last good team they faced on the road they lost to us in week 3.

Whos Hope is Destroyed? Your brain is destroyed if anything!!!! Incase you havent noticed "which you havent" all good teams will have an off day, but still find a way to win!

This team is only 2 years old and grew up fast these last 5 weeks, proof is the dallas cowboys and ny giants, next will be philly then who ever wants us next.

Great news, all hope is back and were 3 days from Playoffs!!!! :point2sky

[SkinsLover]

Feel free to live in your swill, but please stop trying to spray it on everybody else.

Not Exactly. Like I have stated before, we are just as close of being 5 - 10 as we are 14 - 1.

Unlike the Colts, they lost San Diego and for the next game, how long did it take them to pull their players out? They pulled everyone out by the beginning of the 2nd Quarter. They had nothing to play for...

The Bengals are 4 -1 in the last 5 games. I wouldn't put it as them "losing games

We have played great football for the last 2 games, but one thing about this team is that we are unpredictable, that we are inconsistent. Just look how we played against Arizona.

[aussieskin]

The big difference between the skins now and before is
1. Joe Gibbs has everything in hand, he is making his famous in game adjustments and the skins are executing.

2. Gregg Williams has the Defence scaring the crap out of the opposition receivers, and they are now applying pressure to the QB's, this does not always result in a sack or stuff but it has given us two interceptions in the last two games.

3. Special teams is now getting in on the act as well, Antonio Brown is getting good blocking upfield and the offence is getting good field position as a result.

4. THE TEAM IS PLAYING AS A TEAM, WE HAVE RUNNING BACKS BLOCKING LINE BACKERS, WE HAVE PLAYERS PERFORMING MAGIC TRICKS TO MAKE THE FIRST DOWN, WE HAVE A TEAM THAT IS BASED ON CHARACTER, FOCUS AND HONESTY, OTHER TEAMS SAY THAT WE ARE MORE FOCUSED AND WE WANT IT MORE, TRUTH IS WE CAN DRAG THAT OUT OF OUR GUTS AND OTHER TEAMS CANT..THIS IS WHY THE SKINS ARE DOING SO WELL.

[perturbed]

I am sorry about what ever happened to make you down like this man....

as for the rest of us... we are going to continue to ride this high.. which will last until we lose and then some... it also wont end this weekend...

you have to have faith in your team... how can you not??? We just beat the giants and cowboys in very convincing fashion... is that to say that we will demolish philly.. nope... could we lose... yep... but you have to have some faith in your team man...

i promise you everyone on this board knows the dangers that are out there with us going to philly..... but a post like this.. at a time like this... come on man... you could have posted this before the 4 soon to be 5 game streak had started and people would agree... but our team is playing with heart and soul.... and sometimes that enough right there to win ball games......

GO SKINS... WHOOOOOOOOO

Well said GOSKN5 :applause:

[onedrop]

I don't know quite what to think about people saying I'm not a Redskins fan. I'm sorry I'm not the stereotypical "YAY SKINS" fan that think's we're going 13-3 after starting 3-0 (a poll on redskins.com, in which I think 50% say 13-3). I may not be the most optimistic person, but I can assure you I'm probably more of a die-hard redskins fan that most of you here. Each week is life-and-death to me when the Redskins play. Check out my earlier posts, maybe that will show you I'm a true fan.

As for this bet, that's just stupid. Nobody wants to celebrate more than me. But you're not the ones who will live in misery for months if we lose on Sunday. So I'm taking the precautionary route, give me a break.


how in the world can you begin to even think that YOU are more "diehard" than anyone here? when YOU are the one predicting a loss to a dabilitated iggles team with nothing to play for, AFTER our two clutch wins. the fact that you say "each game is life or death for me" AND "you are not the ones that will live in misery for months if we lose" solidifies my opinion of you as an iggles fan, or at least not a real Skins fan. after the prediction you have made that is what is called "reaching" my friend. trying to hard to prove your point you have gone to far, to extreme to attempt to prove your love for OUR Skins. basic psychology. im not buying it.

and by the way, how the hell do you presume to know the depth of love that anyone, especially thoise that actually support the team, has? that is asinine.

POSER

I'm a season ticket holder too. I've already told you that I will not take your bet.

[WolfMan]

Due to the lack of fun we have had over the last few seasons...


I have had to fight the feelings that GreenMile has expressed (the same feelings my wife expresses about the Skins every weekend...).

But early in this season I finally started to see the affect Gibbs has on a team start to take root and grow (of course we all would have liked to see that last year but that would have been unrealistic...). So instead of being "overly cautious" before every game, I started to become "confident".

Now that we are healthier on both sides of the ball.... everything is starting to click just right (and will only get better!).

I guess my major issue with GreenMile's post is this... if the "ugly seasons" before this one have brought you so down on the Skins that you cannot feel confident enough to "predict" a win this weekend.... it's about time you switched teams or just stopped enjoying football all together...

If you cannot be feeling "giddy" at this point after the way we have been playing... then you are just too far gone to be saved.

Yes, the Eagles have had our number the past few years... but it is unfair by you to compare these two teams at this point in the season to what we have seen in the past.

I'm sorry that you feel the way you feel...it's very unfortunate and sad to see if you are a "true" Skins fan.

I will go into this game with the utmost confidence and will enjoy every minute. (as long as we are winning....:D )

The Giants scored on a tipped ball and an interception. :doh: Greenmile, I believe it is time for you to pick up another passtime.

[Hawk_DC]

Greenmile


for your to even be sitting around wanting to start a threat with those thoughts is beyond reason. Apparently you think every other team in the NFL is PERFECT, but au contrair I don't see any team in the NFL without a loss in the loss column. It's called SPORTS and in sports you have some good days and bad days and you try and have more good days and build up CONFIDENCE in your sport. We know the Skins aren't perfect but for you too bring up that B.S. in the biggest game around here in 6 years is so Moronic it's not funny. Give me a break!!! If your a skins fan than I'm as rich as Danny. Every year you can talk about a team being inconsistent because you will lose games. But if you can't get your head out of your old ass and see that we are playing GREAT team ball right now and the eagles aren't a very confident bunch, nor do they have ENOUGH TALENT on the field to beat us then you really need to convert those tickets and your FAKE love for the skins and turn it over too Dallas!! I can't stand your "realist" types, you always have to find a way to steal some joy we are FINALLY in a position where we not only get to the playoffs, sweep Dallas and have a chance to win the Division but all you can talk about is our inconsistencies!! It seems to me YOU AND ALL THE REST OF THESE SO CALLED FANS WHO HAVE NEGATIVE THINGS TO SAY EVERY WEEK are the ones who are inconsistent!!!! YOU SUCK!!! Go Skins!!!

[Bigmuss1]

What happened? How about 13 years of dissapointing seasons, that's what happened.

I hope we win. But there's a difference between hoping and thinking. Do I think we'll win, I don't know... maybe. I suppose there's a fine line between being a realist and a pessimist.

Perhaps this is bad timing, but after coming to this board and all I was reading was PLAYOFF predictions, I couldn't help but write this. I scared as sht about this game, and it just seems like some of you guys have already chalked up the win.

We all just need to believe, but we appreciate everyones insight

[28rdsknsfn28]

I hate when people say "look how close we are from being * - *"

Why do only close loses count as "close wins" and not vice versa.

We are very close from being 5-10

He is right by his post btw. We needed antonio brown to run one back against ARIZONA for crying out loud. Sometimes our offence clicks, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes our defence can play like the 85 Bears, sometimes it can play like 05 Texans

Lets hope this week we keep playing like we are on Offence, and our D steps it up this week!

I agree. I was just pointing out how the same arguments he made about how BAD things could have been to show how GOOD things could have been.

[Matt [Redskins Fan]]

Anyone replying seriously to this message..... come on!

His name is GREENmile for Pete's sake.

Look at the spelling. Look at the post count. He's some 16-year-old dork in Philadelphia who spends his time on the Internet during recess instead of hitting on chicks, like all the other 16-year-old guys are doing. He's conveniently found a VERY passionate group of people in an absolutely frenzied state. No zit-covered 16-year-old virgin Eagles fan could pass this up!

One word: TROLL. DO NOT FEED.

[ouvan59]

People around here need to learn to reply to posts without getting personal. Greenmile may not hold your opinion (or mine) but he hasn't said anything that merits some of the comments he's getting.

I share some of his concerns about this weekend's game and have stated so in a couple of threads. We have yet to play a complete game on the road.

That being said to say we would have lost to the Giants if they had been able to contain Moss or that his two TDs were lucky is imbecilic. If we had kept LT in check we beat the Chargers. We didn't and it wasn't because we were unlucky. Santana Moss is a playmaker which means he makes plays. Against the Giants he made plays. We were not lucky to beat the Cardinals. Antonio Brown made a play, in the 3rd quarter mind you, that won the game for the Skins. He ran through a huge hole that his teammates made for him and scored an easy touchdown. The Redskins did what they had to do to win.

Luck is having a ball bounce in the wrong direction or having a ref rule a player wasn't down when he actually was. Santana Moss beating a CB like a drum is not luck. Joe Gibbs calling a HB pass and the other team biting on it isn't luck. The Redskins dominating time of possession isn't luck.

Your concerns are very real. You conclusions are completely off base.

[Matt [Redskins Fan]]

Ouvan, this guy MAY be a Skins fan, and I MIGHT have gone overboard, but I make my rent by making decisions based on incomplete information, and I'd bet the rent this guy is not a Skins fan.

This is one of those things where this guy will never admit it but he's just stirring up the nest. That, or he's completely oblivious.

Either way, I'm not going to make the guy feel worse/feed the troll anymore, holla.

[ouvan59]

Matt, I wasn't directing my comments towards you. I agree with your assessment but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.

:eaglesuck

[Nomadskin11]

Pessimistic, realistic, idealistic. Often confused with each other, most usually for "realistic."

All three types have a right to post on this board.

Greenmile is a pessimist right now - whether or not you agree, he or she is entitled to that sentiment.

Calling him a non-Redskin fan, "informing" him that he is "gay", "calling him out" on being a liberal, or referring to his join date of Sept '05 as the only clear reasons he could possibly say what he had to say - these are far less acceptable to me than anything Greenmile said. In fact, they make me angry and dissapointed, and are as baseless and superstitious as some of the very same apparently inflammatory remarks made in Greenmile's original post.

Nonetheless, I look for a score of Redskins 24 Eagles 17 !!
HTTR!!

Hey Immortal....my reason for the dislike of Greenmile posts had started in another thread, where quite a few people including myself, got cranked up over the negativity of his expressions.
This should be called the bad karma thread.

[Arsenic]

Yeah, it's a game that we normally would lose, but part of the fun in being a fan--is being confident in your team and enjoying victory when you're right.

Your're never going to enjoy the game with that attitude. Enjoy it while it's here, man. :cheers:

[WilberMarshall48]
