Tony Romo once threw a pass clear out of Big D. The ball was never found.

We now have a solar eclipse.

Tony Romo let the dogs out.

[esloan]

If that is true then Campbell should put up great numbers against Giants as well, right Bubba?

Care to make a friendly wager on the numbers Campbell puts up against the Giants?

I'd be willing to bet he puts up less than 275 yards and 2 TDs.

Do you like comparing apples to oranges on a daily basis?


Skins are a running team. I bet I can count on one hand the amount of games that Campbell will have 35+ passes. He is in the mid 20-25 range and that is about it. He will rarely ever put up HUGE numbers because he is never asked to.


The Cowboys are a passing team. Their whole team relies on the pass. Not to mention, you guys have TO. As much of a douchebag he is, he makes QB's look better. However, I don't expect you to believe that to be so. Just ask McNabb who had his best season in his career with TO. ****, even Jeff Garcia was better.

[esloan]

Gibbs is a smart coach, if the Giants secondary is THAT bad, as bad as you guys say, he WILL attack it. If he doesn't attack the most obvious weakness of that Giants defense he is either: A) a bad coach or B) the secondary is not as bad as you guys want to proclaim.

The most obvious weakness of the Giants Defense is their defense. The whole unit sucks. Osi is done, Strahan should have hung it up. They have nothing. If you can't see that, they you are so high on Romos jock that you can't watch a football game from an objective standpoint. I can promise you that Gibbs will run the ball down their throats and once and a while pass to keep the defense honest.


Trying to compare Romo to Campbell is laughable. However, trying to compare what Wade Phillips and Joe Gibbs would do is even more so.

Yes. And that somehow has any barring on what is being discussed? You are just trying to prove something to me that I already know and established in this thread... The Giants D is a joke. I am glad that Romo was smart enough to throw the ball deep and get a TON of YAC yards. Good for him.

If Romo can do it on just 24 passes, then why can't Campbell? I mean their defense is so bad, right? 24 passes is not a pass heavy offense to tell the truth, so even if the 'Skins are run heavy Campbell should throw the ball at least 24 times. he put up 21 against the Dolphins.

I do not think Campbell will have near the game Romo did against the Giants, and that wasnt what I was trying to bet. Hell, I would be willing to bet that Campbell doesn't even have a good game against the Giants.

Have his stats skewed by YAC yards? Sure Campbell could do it. However, the probablity of that happening again is not likely. Hell, I am even willing to bet that Romo won't be able to put up anywhere close to the same stats in the revenge game against the Giants. I am even willing to bet that Romo won't even have a good game against the Dolphins. I bet you that he has an average game.

You simply can not talk football with a Cowboys fan when it is about their QB. The blind loyalty is amazing. Is Romo good? So far he is. However, he can very well drop off and become less than average with a blink of an eye. You would think that the man is the next Peyton Manning the way he is held at such a high regard. He had a good couple of games last year and a good game so far with the one and only game that was played so far this season.


Remember, he started out hott last year and then faded off. Don't get all excited this early, grasshopper. One game does not a season make. Got me?

I agree the skins are a "running team". Only one team (Tenn) had a >% of their plays be runs than the Redskins last week. Why isn't JC asked to put up bigger passing numbers? Hmmmm.

Seems like you may be minimizing the Cowboy rushing attack by saying they are a team that relies on the pass. (don't all teams have to pass?) Just because they had the #1 yards in the league last week doesnt necessarily mean they didn't or couldn't run last week or in the future. They ran more frequently than passed 30 vs 24 (which is a >% than 21 other teams) and averaged a very strong 4.7yds/carry (I know, its the NYG)

Will they be called a passing team? Probably so with the amount of pub that Romo and TO get, I'm sure the passing game will be front and center. However, barring injuries I expect them to be a Top 10 rushing team too. (#13 last yr)

It would also seem that your mention of the "TON of YAC yards" is a subtle slam on Romo and that it was the receivers who should be getting the credit for the most passing yards in the league. The receivers did do a great job after the catch getting about 11 yd/avg YAC. However, Romo threw the ball on avg. 12 yds down field before any YAC. That 12 yd pre-YAC figure is a higher avg than 20 teams had for the entire passing play. (catch +YAC) Add in that no team had fewer passes completed to RBs and you have a qb that threw downfield and accurately. Allowing his skilled receivers the ability to catch the ball in stride and make substantial YAC>

3 of those rushes came from Romo. So, from your actual RBs, you are at a 24-27 favoring run. Seems rather balanced to me actually.

Skins had 36 attempts from their backs and 5 from JC and ARE combined. So, at 21-36 favoring the run.

You sure as hell were a passing team last year and until Coach phillips gets a few more games under his belt as the Cowboys head coach and proves otherwise.. You ARE a passing team.

I am willing to bet that you won't be a Top 10 rushing team this year.

Nope. That is a slam on the Giants secondary. Keep slurping though. Romo appreciates it.

[corrupt3d]

When theres 1:18 left in the game, and you're 7 yards away from the endzone, there is no greater person you can trust than Tony Romo.

[slogriff]

Have his stats skewed by YAC yards? The receivers could have fallen where they caught the ball and Romo's YPC would have been higher than 20 other teams.

Hell, I am even willing to bet that Romo won't be able to put up anywhere close to the same stats in the revenge game against the Giants.
Betting a qb doesn't get 345 yds and 4 tds. During the regular season last year, even the great P. Manning only threw over 345 yds 2 times. He threw 4 tds in a game just 2x. Never threw for both 345yds & 4 tds in a single game all last year. The odds may be just slightly in your favor that Romo won't do it again.

I am even willing to bet that Romo won't even have a good game against the Dolphins. I bet you that he has an average game. Just curious. Is that Romo avg or Average qb avg?

[praise_gibbs]

Not **** and that was exactly my point. The cowbitch fan was saying that Campbell should be able to match those stats. Thanks for proving my point.




As for the average comment. He will have an average day or tad above from a NFL QB standpoint.

I did NOT say he should match those stats. I said he wouldn't hit 275 or more yards or more than 2 TDs, that is significantly less than what Romo threw for.

So, your point is, uhhhmm....you don't have a point, do you?

[slogriff]

[QUOTE=praise_gibbs]uhh.. because the Skins are a running team? Keep up.


May want to take your own advice. Keep up. You said the skins are a running team. I agreed with that statement and gave facts to show that commitment to the run.


3 of those rushes came from Romo. So, from your actual RBs, you are at a 24-27 favoring run. Seems rather balanced to me actually. I agree, a "passing team" that can and will run a lot.

Skins had 36 attempts from their backs and 5 from JC and ARE combined. So, at 21-36 favoring the run. Once again, no disagreement on the Skins being a "running" team.



You sure as hell were a passing team last year and until Coach phillips gets a few more games under his belt as the Cowboys head coach and proves otherwise.. You ARE a passing team. Did I say they weren't a passing team last year? No. I never even mentioned last years team. Did I disagree we would be referred to as a passing team this year? No. Just the opposite.

I am willing to bet that you won't be a Top 10 rushing team this year. #8 after week 1. I expect the defense to tighten up a little and you'll see the Cowboys spending more time running out the clock in some 4th qtrs.


Nope. That is a slam on the Giants secondary. Sorry, I made an inaccurate assumption thinking you were trying to slam Romo.QUOTE]

Couple things here. Romo threw 24 times and Campbell threw it 21. Also, do you know why Campbell is not asked to put up huge numbers? In all seriousness, I don't believe the coaching staff believed in his ability to lead the team down the field throwing based on the flow of the Miami game. They did everything they could to take the game out of his hands. Fortunately for you guys, Portis/Betts was able to consistently run the ball effectively with everybody in the stadium knowing the run was coming.


The Cowboys are a passing team. Their whole team relies on the pass.

Really? We have a new offensive coordinator and we're pretty balanced. Most good offenses are. You do realize that we ran more than we passed Sunday right? :(



Not to mention, you guys have TO. As much of a douchebag he is, he makes QB's look better.

Very convenient. I thought he made everything worse and was washed up? :rolleyes:

My gawd, one game and Romo is Johnny Unitas! Wait for teams to get a bit more film on Garrett...then you'll see some below average games from Mr. Romo.

BTW, I thought teams establish a run to set up the pass... Unlike your team, we don't put everything on the qb...we have talent at skill positions.

And will you please admit that you played one of the worst defenses in the league? :doh:

I wont speak for any Cowboy fans, but myself. Johnny Unitas??? i do not think so! Never have I seen that comparrision.........did you make that up? :doh:

And the Cowboys dont have talent at the skill position? Gibbs would love to get the ball downfield more...and would love to be able to have the ball in J.C's hands more in critical moments....and so would Saunders....and at some point that will happen, because J.C is fine, and has all the tools. Just right now, he is not playing at that level...and he just cant be trusted yet.

The Giants are THE WORST D in the NFL.................and thats a fact. I llok for Farve to be player of the week this week and J.C the week after.

I'd be willing to bet he puts up less than 275 yards and 2 TDs.

And the reason behind that is the fact that the Redskins actually have a running game.
How does that Cowboy backfield look lateley?

[Ax]

Opie put up some fine numbers against the giants, no question. Of course the giants could have cut that number in half very easily had they not put up
35 freakin points on The Brokeback Boyz!!!
Opie had to go for the big play. Soul-Glo won't. No way to compare numbers unless our D sucks as bad as Roy Williams.

And if any of the ambiguosly gay Brokeback fans actually watched the game, they saw that quite a few completions were because the catch was better than the throw. Opie's accuracy wasn't very impressive. Even when his receivers were more open than a cowboy fan's mouth at a Romo welcome home party, he didn't seem to hit them in stride much.

But hey, Tony is the man. Kind of a man's man.
Fact is, he's probably been many a man's man, man. ;)

Campbell will NOT put up those same numbers b/c Gibbs will have Portis and Betts running WILD for over 200yds. I'd be surprised if Campbell passes 22times.
If he throws 3tds w/ 0 picks I will consider that he did just as good in my book though.

Let me see if I get this right. Romo couldn't hit the side of a barn, causing the receivers to break stride and be forced to make great catches. You would think that would be enough testimony for how great the Cowboys receivers must be but no. Even after breaking stride and making unbelievable catches, they led the league with avg YAC. Wow, those Cowboy receivers must be the #1 group in the NFL to make up for such poor quarterbacking by Romo.

He has a game (345 yds & 4 tds) that even P. Manning (maybe no one) had all of last season. Yet, he really didn't play that good of a game. Man, do you have high standards. I can't even imagine the standards you must have for your own qb.

[SkinsFanAnt]

Wow...all the puke fans are in here! SWEET!!! Ok, puke fans...I'll admit it!...you can have your "Tony Romo Superbowl". He played awesome against the Giants...like, amazing Superbowls awesomes! (see Skins fans...this is how you have to talk to puke fans...regular reasoning and debate never works...its like trying to point out Bush's flaws and mistakes to a republican and they just come back with "Clinton blah blah blah"...and just for the sake of avoiding that...I'm not a Democrat).

Oh, btw....at the end of the year you guys will be crying...like..um......the CRYING GAME! YEAH! And you will have one of the worst defenses in the league....and you will go a mediocre 7-9 at best. Oh, btw, I hate to break it to you, but Tony Romo is really just an overhyped version of a young Jeff Garcia and Wade Phillips an overhyped version of Bill Fartsmells. Remember Garcia was putting up 'monster' numbers too..unfortunately, that didn't win him very many playoff games either. Last year was your best chance and Homo blew it.

Oh, I'm afraid that one game against the Giants was really just 'fluff'. Everyone has been picking them to do well and the pukes practically had to have a missed ref call to ice the game. And when Miami spanks you...you will have yet another 'reality check'.

I assume you are referring to the cowboy replies. Since I have a few, I will say that several of the skins fans replies have been quite humorous. The joke replies are funny and as a cowboy fan I can appreciate the humor. However, I take umbrage at those who try to say Romo didn't play a good game. I didn't say great game just a good game. The guy puts up the best numbers in all the league and wins Offensive Player of the Week yet he didn't play that well.

I don't expect skins fans to say good things about Romo or any other player on the Cowboys. But when he has a game like last week, why make yourself look silly trying to bash his performance. Ignore a debate and bash away when he has legitimate bad games. I'm sure he will have one or two.

BTW, since this is the "real facts about Romo" thread, here are some more. That terrible NYG defense which was a terrible 5th worst in the league last year. No team threw for both 345yds & 4 tds like Romo did. ALSO, no team was able to generate those numbers all of last year vs the #1 worst pass defense Cinn last year either. So to imply, anyone can put up those numbers against a bad defense is another skins misnomer.

nice stats , honestly anyone with 2 eyes could see Romo had a good game , even if it was against a joke defense who has been crushed with injuries , but in case you didn't notice , this is a Redskin fansite , the Redskins and Cowboys are arch rivals , to come here and try to convince anyone to say anything good about a Cowboys player is dumb , I'm sure its the same way on your team's fansite , or maybe it isn't . I still can not figure out why so many cowboy fans hang out over here year round? I know its a great site for a great team with great members but come on now , you guys are Supposed to be cowboys fans , go there and convince them how godlike Romo is , because even if it is true . we don't care.... noob :silly:

No team threw for both 345yds & 4 tds like Romo did. ALSO, no team was able to generate those numbers all of last year vs the #1 worst pass defense Cinn last year either. So to imply, anyone can put up those numbers against a bad defense is another skins misnomer.



I just wanted to point out the irony of a Dallas Cowboays fan living in New York, posting on a Washington Redskins board.

[Merlin Emrys]

On the 7th day, God rested because Tony Romo could handle the rest.

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

wow lol , clearly you are on the wrong board , I think there is a board somewhere for cowboys fans , :doh: ... maybe you should go there


you got me, im a cowboys fan because romo threw 4 touchdown passes and 345 yards. its sad that some of you guys are such homers you cant just say "the guy looked great". is he on our hated rivals? yes. do i hate the cowboys? yes. do i hope they lose every game? yes. lets face facts: romo looked great. if campbell had produced half of that on sunday, this board would be claiming hes peyton manning, yet when romo has a sick game, its lets make fun of romo and just laugh off the sick numbers he put up. it makes us look pathetic.

how about we wait til he sucks to make fun of him? like when he pulls another seattle botch.

[Ax]

Let me see if I get this right. Romo couldn't hit the side of a barn, causing the receivers to break stride and be forced to make great catches.

No dumb-dumb, you didn't get it right. That is not what I said. Of course, I understand that as a Brokeback fan, your limited reading and comprehension skills prevent you from knowing your ass from a hole in the ground. But, do carry on.

you can look at any post I made , I give him credit for the game he played , I do think the defense he played had a lot to do with it , who really cares tho this is a redskin board , I don't know too many people here who make a habit of bragging on other teams' players , especially a cowboys player , if thats what you want to do its fine you just have to expect the reaction you get ~

[slogriff]

nice stats (thank you),
honestly anyone with 2 eyes could see Romo had a good game, (maybe should be "anyone with 2 good eyes)

even if it was against a joke defense who has been crushed with injuries , but in case you didn't notice , this is a Redskin fansite , the Redskins and Cowboys are arch rivals , to come here and try to convince anyone to say anything good about a Cowboys player is dumb (my exact quote was "I don't expect skins fans to say good things about Romo or any other player on the Cowboys"- I'll just let others be the arbiter of what is dumb here),

I'm sure its the same way on your team's fansite , or maybe it isn't . I still can not figure out why so many cowboy fans hang out over here year round? I know its a great site for a great team with great members but come on now , you guys are Supposed to be cowboys fans , go there and convince them how godlike Romo is , because even if it is true . we don't care.... noob

I like to be informed about my favorite team the Dallas Cowboys. This takes me to several cowboy sites and ES-ATL mostly. I greatly appreciate the ATL and the ability to learn/discuss more about my team. I rarely go into the Stadium because I'm not all that interested in hearing mostly skins fans talk about the skins.

Riddle me this Bat~man (or anyone else)... why do you come to the ATL when the most frequently discussed topics relate to the Dallas Cowboys with minimal discussion about your team? There are some who continuosly point out this is not the appropriate forum to discuss the skins. It makes all the sense in the world for Cowboy fans to come to the ATL and discuss their team. The better question is why do you come in here to discuss the Cowboys?

[slogriff]

No dumb-dumb, you didn't get it right. That is not what I said. Of course, I understand that as a Brokeback fan, your limited reading and comprehension skills prevent you from knowing your ass from a hole in the ground. But, do carry on.


And if any of the ambiguosly gay Brokeback fans actually watched the game, they saw that quite a few completions were because the catch was better than the throw. Opie's accuracy wasn't very impressive. Even when his receivers were more open than a cowboy fan's mouth at a Romo welcome home party, he didn't seem to hit them in stride much.


Let's see where my reading comprehension went so far off. Let me see if I get this right. Romo couldn't hit the side of a barn ("Opies accuracy wasn't very impressive", causing the receivers to break stride ("he didn't seem to hit them in stride much") and be forced to make great catches ("the catch was better than the throw). You would think that would be enough testimony for how great the Cowboys receivers must be but no. Even after breaking stride and making unbelievable catches, they led the league with avg YAC. Wow, those Cowboy receivers must be the #1 group in the NFL to make up for such poor quarterbacking by Romo.

He has a game (345 yds & 4 tds) that even P. Manning (maybe no one) had all of last season. Yet, he really didn't play that good of a game. Man, do you have high standards. I can't even imagine the standards you must have for your own qb.

Although I may have slightly exaggerated your comments, the basics are you were trying to minimize Romo's efforts by saying his accuracy was bad and the receivers were the primary reason for the #1 passing yardage total. I gave stats (you said-"nice stats") to support the great performance by the receivers and questioned your standards of a good game by a qb.

Feel free to enlighten me on where I went wrong in comprehending what you said or maybe you can go back to the enlightening gratuitous gay references.

lol I come to ATL to see whats going on around the league , duh ! :silly: :silly: last time I looked , it was still part of the redskins board , its not part of another teams website where we go to try and tell their fans how great we are , so you can try to correct my english or my typing , this is not english class , but the fact of the matter is you are still on a redskin board trying to convince people how great you guys are , usually when people do that its only because they are really trying to convince themselves ... :dallasuck :dallasuck :laugh:

ive heard he played against a JV defense, and that anyone could do that against the giants.

but if i missed posts of skins fans saying he looked good, i apologize. maybe i only happen to stumble onto the negative ones, and from what i saw, didnt see too many negatives. his throwing motion is the only thing i can see thats pretty weak, but he got it done.

Sorry, my intention was not to correct your English/grammer (Im not a grammer snob) but instead to point out that some people which I assume have two eyes have discouraged his performance. Thus, my comment is you must apparently need two good eyes to see he had a good game.

My point still remains. Where are we-- the ATL where skins talk is discouraged. What are we talking about-- the Dallas Cowboys. The riddle still remains--- why are you hear talking about the Dallas Cowboys?????

*edit* oh my god what is up with ES today all my posts are messed up lol anyway

Mr. Slo , if you would have read my post you would see that I already answered your silly question about me being in the ATL section of the Redskin fansite you , like many other dallas fans , spend so much time at , this section is not for us to come boast about how good we are to other teams , and I'm sorry if you think the ATL is Only here for you to post your praises for your QB , I'm sad to inform you that there is SO much more going on in the NFL than your beloved Romo , I know things take time to sink in for you , but it will sink in and when it does , you may realize a much better place for you to spread your cowboy opinions would be on a cowboy fansite , and take all the other so called cowboys fans with you , and do try to visit us when its much closer to Dallas week , thank you :logo:

[praise_gibbs]

I did NOT say he should match those stats. I said he wouldn't hit 275 or more yards or more than 2 TDs, that is significantly less than what Romo threw for.


275 yards and 2 TDs is far from GREAT numbers. Which is what you said.



So, your point is, uhhhmm....you don't have a point, do you?

If you had read posts in this thread you'd see the point. However, with your blind homerism, I feel that it is just not possible.


You are on a Redskins board repping that gay ass blue and silver.. you're purpose to be on this board is what?


Go jerk off to your fellow cowbitch fans on your own board. :jerk:

Or do you cowbitch fans love Bubba so much that you have to join this board to get owned by him over and over again?



May want to take your own advice. Keep up. You said the skins are a running team. I agreed with that statement and gave facts to show that commitment to the run.

You asked a dumbass question about why JC isn't asked to put up bigger numbers and I answered.


For real this time.. try and keep up.

I agree, a "passing team" that can and will run a lot.

Every team will run just the same as they will pass. However, what is their MO? It is obvious that Gibbs' Redskins is a running team and they focus on that. However, the Cowbitches are a passing team. That is their MO.

They are NOT a run first team.


Once again, no disagreement on the Skins being a "running" team.


Wel, then you'd agree why JC isn't asked to put up bigger numbers.


Why doesn't Joseph Addai put up monster rushing yards? Why doesn't Philip Rivers light up the yardage? Maybe because they aren't asked to?


Keeping up yet?

Did I say they weren't a passing team last year? No. I never even mentioned last years team. Did I disagree we would be referred to as a passing team this year? No. Just the opposite.

Then, why are you so surprised that Romo has a lot of passing yards compared to your rushing yards? And why are you so surprised that JC will not have a lot of passing yards and teh Skins rushing yards will be a lot?

Passing teams pass.. rushing teams rush. Why are you cowbitch fans so surpised at this notion?

Do me a favor, and watch football without your 'I love Romo panties'. K?


#8 after week 1. I expect the defense to tighten up a little and you'll see the Cowboys spending more time running out the clock in some 4th qtrs.

And the Skins are number 3 after 1 week. Does that mean that they will end that way? Drew Brees has a ****ty week 1.. does that mean that he will have a completely ****ty season? LT did not have a lot of rushing yards in week 1.. does that mean that he will struggle all year trying to put up yards?

I don't think you are keeping up. :(


Sorry, I made an inaccurate assumption thinking you were trying to slam Romo.


Honestly, I am sorry that i thought you could read.





:yawnee: Damn, more cowbitch IQ convo below...





Couple things here. Romo threw 24 times and Campbell threw it 21.



thank you captain obvious. Did you not know that this was established already?


Did you also know that grass is green? If not, I am sorry that I spoiled it for you.


Also, do you know why Campbell is not asked to put up huge numbers? In all seriousness, I don't believe the coaching staff believed in his ability to lead the team down the field throwing based on the flow of the Miami game. They did everything they could to take the game out of his hands.



Far from it. When you put up 200 yards rushing.. why not continue to do so?


Fortunately for you guys, Portis/Betts was able to consistently run the ball effectively with everybody in the stadium knowing the run was coming.



Was able? far from being a surprise here. We have two backs who could be starters in this league. They will 'be able' to rush for yardage.





Really? We have a new offensive coordinator and we're pretty balanced. Most good offenses are. You do realize that we ran more than we passed Sunday right? :(



Once again, the grass is green. :idea:

After 1 week you are gonna say that you are pretty balanced? What are you basing this off of? A piss poor defense?


You are a PASSING TEAM.. face it.




Very convenient. I thought he made everything worse and was washed up? :rolleyes:

When the **** did I say that? He makes the locker room fall apart but, to say that he does not make the QB better is laughable.


Are you really gonna say that without TO that Romo would be able to put up equal numbers to what he was able to do thus far? I bet without TO, Romo is average or below. Ol' gunslinger has one of the best WR's to play this game if you focus strictly on ability. Once you focus on his locker room cancer, that takes a lot away from the guy.

...but of course you won't get it, cuz it will instead go to TONY ROMO.

[Ax]

Although I may have slightly exaggerated your comments,
Slightly?
I wrote, "Opie's accuracy wasn't very impressive."
You insinuated that I said, "Romo couldn't hit the side of a barn"

Here's your assignment. Find one word that's contained in both of those sentences.

the basics are you were trying to minimize Romo's efforts by saying his accuracy was bad and the receivers were the primary reason for the #1 passing yardage total.

Assignment #2 Find, "primary reason" anywhere in my original statement.

I gave stats (you said-"nice stats")
Hey! You got one right! See how much fun it is to play with what I actually said, instead of making it up?

Feel free to enlighten me on where I went wrong in comprehending what you said
This was covered above. However, I realize I may have misspoken. Perhaps you did comprehend what I said, but chose to lie. Personally, I'd rather think of you as slow, instead of a liar.

or maybe you can go back to the enlightening gratuitous gay references.
Ok :silly: You girlz are really sensitive about your orientation, huh?

Here's the thing. You and your loser Brokeback brethren come to a Redskin site looking for us to share in your man-love of Toni Romo, and when we don't, you act like a goddamn woman who got her hair colored, and is pissed off that everybody didn't notice it.

Try a midol.

[pjfootballer]

If Romo can do it on just 24 passes, then why can't Campbell? I mean their defense is so bad, right? 24 passes is not a pass heavy offense to tell the truth, so even if the 'Skins are run heavy Campbell should throw the ball at least 24 times. he put up 21 against the Dolphins.

I do not think Campbell will have near the game Romo did against the Giants, and that wasnt what I was trying to bet. Hell, I would be willing to bet that Campbell doesn't even have a good game against the Giants.

I could care less as long as we win the game. Campbell can go 1 for 25 as long as we got the W.

Its cool, happens to all of us. I've mentioned that I thought he played great and was surprised to see him play that well.

I've also mentioned he was playing against a sub-par D but he still looked great.

If your a Cowgirl fan, your hoping this isn't going to be a repeat of last year, were he began to struggle down the stretch.

If your a Skins fan, you KNOW he can only get worse. I also belive Miami will bring him back to reality.

[THEHEREAFTER]

Is Romo good? So far he is. However, he can very well drop off and become less than average with a blink of an eye

Couldn't anyone? You wouldn't say this about Breese or Bulger though. You can't discuss a Cowboys QB with a skins fan. Your blind hatred is too strong.

[ArmchairRedskin]

THA is like that girl who wears too much makeup and shows too much cleavage. Always asking for approval.

[Jumbo]

BLC, you once told me that how you were perceived by fellow Redskins fans on a message board didn't matter to you, and you laughed the idea off.

I'm all about "being your own man", and that previous time related more to self-assessment with other people's input as a stimulus and wasn't advocating about "conforming" in any way, but it's all good.

My question is how does that "I don't care how I look" stance reconcile with it mattering so much ("pathetic") to you how your fellow Redskins fans look to visiting cowboy fans?

Now, I regularly compliment Romo and can speak objectively on the cowboys team. But there are many fans of many teams whose style is to almost never say a kind word about their opponent (especially if it's the cowboys :D ).

Just because it's not my style or yours, and makes them "look pathetic" to you, why should they care?

Why should you care how they look (especially to cowboy fans) when you state you don't care how you look?

You don't care how you "look" to them (as you said in that past post) and they're fans of the same team you are, but you care how they appear to visiting cowboy fans?

I understand what you're saying, of course, but as to why it would bother you--that just seems misplaced. :)

And THA...only 3 ES members meeting your standards for objective football discussion :rolleyes: ...sounds like we're doing something right :D :laugh:

[Jumbo]

THA is like that girl who wears too much makeup and shows too much cleavage. Always asking for approval.

Funny you should say that...because I've noted a trend with some of our visiting cowboys.....who I generally tend to enjoy (despite what defective people they may be :silly: )

So I decided to just put this here. The highlighted section below is not just on our forum rules page, that all members who register are supposed to know well, it's even in a separate "Read Me" sticky-thread near the top of the ATN front page (courtesy of TK) but here it comes once again, with underlined sections courtesy of moi. :)

TO FANS OF OPPOSING TEAMS

This is a website owned by the Washington Redskins, maintained by Redskins fans, and devoted, primarily, to Washington Redskins football. While we enjoy having visitors, we did not leave the door open hoping to have people drop by intent on changing our way of thinking. We are quite happy---some might argue "miserable"---being Redskins fans. We continue to believe that each Sunday marks a new beginning and that eventually we will return to our days of greatness. You, of course, can laugh at that notion, but if you do it here, it probably won't be taken too kindly.

Please don't make the mistake of thinking this is a friendly environment. When you are here, your screen is burgundy and gold for a very deliberate reason. We’re ExtremeSkins. Nothing about this site should suggest to you that we are interested in being all things to all football fans. We have a ton of knowledgeable fans here who know quite a bit about Washington Redskins football in particular, and the NFL in general. We do allow a certain amount of Redskins machismo here, because that is part of the Redskins experience. So please be advised that it’s likely you will encounter, from time to time, critical, disparaging and even mean-spirited statements about things related to your chosen football team. It’s what we do here. And when there is a presumption to be given, it will be given to a Redskins fan.

Do enjoy your stay here---but please make the effort to avoid letting that interfere with our ability to enjoy your stay here.


So, if nothing else, we should all agree that there isn’t some mystery as to why cowboy fans here meet some of the resistance they do. Yet many of them seem to keep seeking an unrealistic amount of recognition and support here, which is strange. It's often appears like some little kid seeking acceptance from the kid in the class who doesn't like him. It's almost "needy", and of course I know that can't be the case. :cool:

Nor do the Redskins fans here require, or desire, them to "test" our "reality" level or football savvy by seeing if they can get us to praise or critique something by their standards of "objectivity" or "accuracy" while using opinions (theirs or the media's) about the cowboys as a template. But they can feel free to continue with that as some sort of mission, it's not breaking any rules. Now as for simple back and forth arguing, great! That's the idea. :)

I do see a fair portion of ATN 'skins fans give fair credit to the ‘boys where due, and it seems that some of their fans still seek more. As for the ES bashing they do (for which they may be banned by me at times) the truth is, that as long as they behave with even a modicum of reasonableness and follow the rules, they actually enjoy a level of extended camaraderie and welcome here that is rather generous given our "official" statement. I know I enjoy several of them as posters, some older, some newer.

Additionally, they have little excuse for the constant tr1 & bubba & ES bashing they do (and I don't mean just calling them "homers"), and they usually get to do quite a bit of that without any consequence. Even the "best" of them regularly go after tr1 & bubba personally instead of just the actual content of their posts. We obviously allow quite a lot of leeway there, moreso than I'm sure bubba & tr1 wish we did, but they're plenty tough enough to handle it. :)

Just my :2cents: on the ATN State of the Union---I will leave you all to ravage in response and busy myself elsewhere---carry on :D

:cheers:

[bubba9497]

Jumbo

you know it's all the Redskin fans fault, Poke fans never stoop to such levels

they are like a poke nation missionary here to educate the Skin fan savages of our evil ways, and teach us about the wonders of Romomania

[ArmchairRedskin]

Jumbo, I fear your efforts are good intentioned, yet will remain in vain. There is no reasoning with most of the other fans who populate this part of the board. With a few notable exceptions, most of the fans of other teams are miserable creatures who constantly feel the need to object to every single thing ever said about team, and in the process they'll even ignore the times when their team is given any sort of propers. Furthermore, if a few posters do in fact give propers, it will 9 times out of 10 be thrown in the face of other posters who did not.

Lost in all this is the fact that this forum is intended for Redskins fans to come and discuss the goings on within the rest of the league. It just so happens we are mostly interested in the teams that make up the rest of our division. This forum is not intended to be unbiased towards any topic and is in fact a nice place to ridicule anything not burgundy and gold. We like it that way and despite all the protests to the contrary, will likely never change.

To those that get their panties in a twist because of the culture here, my advice is adapt or move on. Put on the big boy pants and take off the diapers. It won't change here anytime soon, nor should it.

We obviously allow quite a lot of leeway there, moreso than I'm sure bubba & tr1 wish we did, but they're plenty tough enough to handle it. :)


...Jumbo is my favorite sheriff...'cause he's so smart... :cool:

I only wish some of these puke fans were aware of the 'special' treatment they get. :rolleyes:

I gotta say, though, bubba is the class of ATN...the amount of crap he takes from 'the loyal fans of the opposition' is absurd.

Bubba is my hero!

you know it's all the Redskin fans fault, Poke fans never stoop to such levels

they are like a poke nation missionary here to educate the Skin fan savages of our evil ways, and teach us about the wonders of Romomania

Frankly, bubba, I enjoy their fantasies...they make me laugh so often, my wife thinks I'm reading jokes...and, my wife is way smarter than I am... ;)

Are you guys effing kidding me? Does nobody around here have a sense of humor?

I did this thread because this was something VT fans did on the VT messageboard the week of the LSU game

Upon hearing all the Glen Dorsey hype, the board turned into "Glen Dorsey facts" And it became very funny

It wasn't making fun of him or anything, it was just the fact that when the media hypes up a football player to be a psuedo God, why not run with it and have some fun?

Instead there are people here (some Skins fans, all Cowgirl fans) who lack a sense of humor and who lack the ability to have any fun with something like this

And we get a wasted thread

Those knee pads she wears are really something!

[ArmchairRedskin]

Better defenses will contain and take advantage of Romo. He has bad mechanics and he tends to leave the pocket to quickly and try to make plays. Those traits will be his undoing when contending with good defenses.

[jrockster21]

lets keep making fun of romo because he looked like the best quarterback in the league on sunday.

Umm, those are all Chuck Norris "facts," and aren't making fun of Romo at all. :laugh:

My balls would have thrown for at LEAST two TDs on that Giants secondary.

Then again, my balls also beat up Chuck Norris.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

[SkinsFTW]

If that is true then Campbell should put up great numbers against Giants as well, right Bubba?

Care to make a friendly wager on the numbers Campbell puts up against the Giants?

I'd be willing to bet he puts up less than 275 yards and 2 TDs.

Aikman never put up good numbers, in any NFL season. Must mean Romo is a lot better. :rolleyes:

I saw pretty good poise and mechanics Sunday night. I saw nothing of what you're speaking of. Can you believe he was making his 11th start on Sunday? Most young QB's have areas they can improve upon and Romo is no different.

So, if nothing else, we should all agree that there isn’t some mystery as to why cowboy fans here meet some of the resistance they do. Yet many of them seem to keep seeking an unrealistic amount of recognition and support here, which is strange. It's often appears like some little kid seeking acceptance from the kid in the class who doesn't like him. It's almost "needy", and of course I know that can't be the case. :cool:

It's all gamesmanship Jumbo. We KNOW how redskins fans feel about the Cowboys. We know redskins fans simply are not hard wired to give The Cowboys any respect or objectivity. We know this is the hardest thing for a skins fan to do which is why I ask for it. It's fun. It goes against the grain and brings out a lot of entertaining reactions. It's this same extreme hatred that attracts Boys fans. There's a reason why there are more Boys fans here than there are skins fans on a Cowboys board. The Cowboys are brought up more here. I'll only see objectivity on this site when there's simply an objective reasonable skins fan (which there are some) or when a skins fan is simply cornered with nowhere else to turn. EVEN WHEN THIS HAPPENS, skins fans are still going down swinging and that's really fun to watch.

All one has to do is look at this ATN forum for an hour or two to realize what NFL Team the skins hate the most and also obsess over the most. Within this hatred and passion is a healthy amount of blatant homerism (which I understand is allowed and the point of this site) BS, silliness and hypocritical behavior. Instead of just letting it be what it is, some attempt to pass the machismo off as intellectual and factual so naturally a debate ensues and this is where problems start. It's foolish to assume with all this hatred from both sides that lines are crossed from time to time.


Nor do the Redskins fans here require, or desire, them to "test" our "reality" level or football savvy by seeing if they can get us to praise or critique something by their standards of "objectivity" or "accuracy" while using opinions (theirs or the media's) about the cowboys as a template. But they can feel free to continue with that as some sort of mission, it's not breaking any rules.

:laugh: Exactly Jumbo. Staying within the rules, I'll continue to do what makes this site enjoyable for me. It's a shame that you aren't more involved in the discussions. There are a couple of skins fans here that know I'm not crazy. They understand that this is not only a love for football, a love for our teams and a love for the rivalry. It's a game.... a chess match of wits. Some have the humor and the sophistication to play the game. Some do not.



I do see a fair portion of ATN 'skins fans give fair credit to the ‘boys where due, and it seems that some of their fans still seek more. As for the ES bashing they do (for which they may be banned by me at times) the truth is, that as long as they behave with even a modicum of reasonableness and follow the rules, they actually enjoy a level of extended camaraderie and welcome here that is rather generous given our "official" statement. I know I enjoy several of them as posters, some older, some newer.

This is what it's all about.

Additionally, they have little excuse for the constant tr1 & bubba & ES bashing they do (and I don't mean just calling them "homers"), and they usually get to do quite a bit of that without any consequence. Even the "best" of them regularly go after tr1 & bubba personally instead of just the actual content of their posts. We obviously allow quite a lot of leeway there, moreso than I'm sure bubba & tr1 wish we did, but they're plenty tough enough to handle it. :)

I agree that they shouldn't be attacked on a personal level but I'm sure you can understand why these two catch so much of a backlash from fans of opposing teams AND FANS OF THE REDSKINS. :laugh:

Just my :2cents: on the ATN State of the Union---I will leave you all to ravage in response and busy myself elsewhere---carry on :D

I think it's clear that we simply will NEVER communicate well with each other. You cannot separate your disdain for the Cowboys from having civil interactions with fans of other teams. You see me as a problem. I see you as a problem. As for the other members you've mentioned, we run into our little spats, but I'm able to have a little bit more fun with those guys. You should try lightening up a little.

Passing the buck? What the hell are you talking about. I come here to have fun, argue, debate and trade jabs with skins fans who have people skills, a sense of the rivalry (which REQUIRES COWBOYS FANS TO ARGUE WITH) and don't take themselves too seriously. Something you are not. I'm not trying to fool anyone. How can I? Everyone knows my team affiliation.

I do want to have reasonable debates but that's not the goal or objective of this site. It's in the rules. I could say that you don't want to have reasonable debates as well. You only want to state how terrible the Cowboys are. It works both ways, but with respect to this site and it's rules. I'm in the wrong. You're in the right. Because of that, I've apologized to you and moved on. Hopefully we can avoid this type of argument in the future.


2. everyone knows the truth, and knows what THA's all about, nothing he posts bothers me, and is usually a good laugh at his expense

This is quite refreshing as you don't bother me in the least and I find you quite entertaining as well. Since we both don't bother one another and find each other so entertaining, perhaps we can co-exist in the future without issue. :cheers:

Bubba is totally objective, what are you talking about? His stats and reasoning always make sense.


Anyway, how about that Romo and his mechanics. Look the same to me. Wonder if Miami will force him to pass from the pocket where he does the least damage and get him behind. If they do that then he'll be likely to try to move around and force plays just like the end of last year. All that nonsense about him improving his mechanics and being more of a pocket passer is false. Too much other stuff on his agenda to take improving serious.

[Ax]

Anyway, how about that Romo and his mechanics.

Although he moves around better, his sidearm throwing motion is just like Bernie Kosar. Keeping him in the pocket, and getting your hands up when he's ready to throw should produce quite a few tipped balls in the future.

Romo did all his damage from THE POCKET Sunday. All four TD's were from the pocket.

I think that Garrett will be good for him and that he wants to succeed. It's hard to believe for me that he's only started 11 games. He has a long way to go but I believe he has a bright future. I guess this is where we disagree. :)

Romo did his damage against a team with no defense. I mean, 45 points? Most of it in the second half? WTF?


Romo will probably look pretty good for another few games, then sputter. I know this prediction will be met with resistance from you, but it'll come true. I have foreseen it. :cool:
