on Mike & Mike this morning...

[Novus]

I was watching the last 30 minutes of Mike&Mike on ESPN2 this morning and they were doing power rankings (top 5 or 6) for the NFC and the AFC. Golic basically said the Redskins looked either "horrible" or "awful" (don't remember the exact wording) against the Cardinals and he listed Dallas, Green Bay, Giants, Seattle, DETRIOT and ARIZONA in front of us. Greenberg reminded him that Washington did happen to crush the Lions, so he listed us behind Seattle.

I was dumbfounded.

Anyone else see/hear this?

[Combatant]

I didn't see or hear this, but it doesn't surprise me. It's just more locker room posting material for this week.

[moviedude25]

Nope but they aren't that far off from the truth. If we played that same game 10 other times like we did yesterday we'd lose it 9 out of 10. We got lucky and stole one from them.

[Riggo#44]

Why is it the other team gets credit when we steal one from them, but when they steal one from us, it's b/c they're such a good team?

[jgwyn500]

I wouldnt expect a lot of props from the media after sundays win. If anything all we proved is that our offense is inconsistent, and we still cant figure out how to finish off teams after halftime.

[Combatant]

Excellent question, and the answer is because we're the Redskins. Screw them all, I wasn't impressed with our performance, but I am extremely happy with the W.

[RedlightG20]

He's right, they do look horrible. Barely beat the sorry Dolphins, barely beat the sorry Eagles, crushed the sorry Lions and lost to average teams in the Giants and Packers.

Defense is carrying this team, offense is not consistent and injured. I still think we'll win every game we ever play, but reality is this team is average at best right now.

[skinfan2k]

remember good teams beat bad teams and find a way to win even if they are not better than the opponent on a certain day

if we played those games 10 more times we wouldnt have the 2 penalties that kept the drive alive.

if fletcher doesnt get the taunting call they punt. straight up. and i will bet you any amount of money that he wont do that again.

No offence, but why would the players care what Golic or anyone else has to say about them from the media? Just go out and play ball, that's not "locker room posting material".

We hold the tie breaker from the Lions and the Cards, so we "should" be ahead of them as of right now.

Don't ever be suprised to hear Mike & Mike dog the Skins because they will do it all the time no matter if were are 16-0 or 0-16... We just have to accept the fact that they are very biased against our beloved team.

No offense taken...

...I know I perform better when I have people doubting me and I thinking maybe they're the same?

[Zhouse]

I actually don't mind this media hate. Keep em' coming!
Our offense has a huge hurdle right now. OL!!!! As long as we keep winning whichever way until we can get a functions line, I'm happy. I like the under the radar skins, it's just what the doctor ordered until we come back healthy.

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

We're not a good 4-2 team right now until the O-line becomes intact.

[daveakl]

He's right, they do look horrible. Barely beat the sorry Dolphins, barely beat the sorry Eagles, crushed the sorry Lions and lost to average teams in the Giants and Packers.

Defense is carrying this team, offense is not consistent and injured. I still think we'll win every game we ever play, but reality is this team is average at best right now.

But if the Giants and Packers are two of the top three teams in the NFC and we lost both games that we were in until the finish and had chances to win, wouldn't that make us a top 5 team in the NFC?

[Warhead36]

I'd put us 3rd in the NFC behind Dallas and New York.

**** the Packers we ARE better than them.

[zoony]

If our Oline got healthy again I would feel comfortable with us in the top 3, maybe top 4 NFC teams.

Currently, I'd say Golic got it about right. :doh: (although no way Detroit is ahead of us)

[fire5man80]

Yea I think they need to worry about posting a game plan in the locker room that will allow us to sustain drives before they post a no count piece of craps rankings of teams. Who really cares what they think, its pretty obvious we will continue to struggle until we learn how to do what gibbs has always done and control the clock and keep our D fresh.

Believe me I do know we are 4-2 and could of possibly been 6-0 so I dont want it to make it sound like I dont think we are good, but we need to learn to close these games out, Im only 26 I cant imagine what those of you all over 40 must feel like after a game. Hope you all keep yourselves in good shape cause an unhealthy heart can only take so much pressure.

.......But wasn't Garlic telling the truth? Campbell did decent (12-15 1 INT)but we looked bad on offense as a whole.

We don't deserve any credit right now. We are not there yet.

[da#1skinsfan]

Probably because Golic picked the Cardinals. Greeny looked at him like he was crazy and said "I love washington in this game" and Golic took a couple shots at him "washington? are you kidding?" to which greeny repeated "I really love washington in this one".

Golic was wrong, now hes gotta make excuses.

[Veretax]

too bad greeney can't gloat about it since the jets lost :D

[bedlamVR]

Just as a quick question where did Mike and Mike put the Steelers ? I meen it doesn't matter how you win just that you win ...

Right now if your not taking into account the teams you have won or lost to I would put the G-men at the top of the NFC because in the Cowboys game the defence had not found itself since then they have been on a streak ... Cowboys have hardly brushed teams aside neither have green bay nor anyone else ...

Any given sunday ... GO SKINS

[One Shot]

I never care for what Golic has to say. Everytime he opens his mouth I put the TV on mute. He can kiss my ass.


.......But wasn't Garlic telling the truth? Campbell did decent (12-15 1 INT)but we looked bad on offense as a whole.

We don't deserve any credit right now. We are not there yet.

The fact that we beat Detroit and Arizona and have a better record makes us a better team than them. It's as simple as that.

[mrdoctor]

Nope but they aren't that far off from the truth. If we played that same game 10 other times like we did yesterday we'd lose it 9 out of 10. We got lucky and stole one from them.

Offense couldnt make it happen. The defense played well but towards the end they were getting moved

The truth about us looking bad? Well, yes. Offensively we did look horrible. I just don't know if that had to do with the injuries or what (a fact that Golic seemed to overlook). I guess we'll find out in the next couple weeks. Defensively, we're one of the best in the league (another fact that Golic overlooked). I don't expect the media to jump on our bandwagon with how we played yesterday, but we still won.

We got one back from the Giants and Packers loss. Take it for what it is....a win.


Edit: Oh, and I was dumbfounded because we have BETTER records and BEAT the two teams he listed in front of us. Another person posted earlier that he picked us to lose against the Cardinals, so I guess it makes sense he would still put us behind them even though we won. Nice little ego Golic seems to have going for him.

[InsaneBoost]

LOL, gotta love these morons.

[sugarmag15]

Power ranking are sh*t just like the MIke and MIke morning show. We don't deserve any positive press after yesterday's WIN anyway so who really cares.

[Bacon]

and lost to average teams in the Giants and Packers.

Their combined record is 10-3.

NO SOUP FOR YOU! NEXT!

[Merlin Emrys]

Golic is an Iggle. That's all you need to know in order to understand his stupid rankings.

[helptheSKINS]

Golic is a moron. We struggled at home yesterday. Hopefully we will start playing the second 30 minutes better.

What I do find funny is GB got all the credit in the world for beating us even though we outplayed them. The D hung in enough to win the game. Didn't we do the same thing?

[Godfather151981]

For the most part I like Golic (and Greeny), but he went a little overboard with his comments. Last time I checked, a win is still a win in this league. If next week's game goes exactly as this week's did (Skins win ugly), everyone will be praising us. I don't care so much that they say we didn't play well as I did Golic putting Detroit ahead of us...

[Chachie]

I didn't see or hear this, but it doesn't surprise me. It's just more locker room posting material for this week.


I don't know what we could put up in our locker room to make us play football in the 2nd half of games. :(

Mike Green (I think thats his name, not the big fat one) isn't that much of a Skins hater. I saw him at the ESPN Zone in baltimore this past august and asked him what he thought of the skins - he told me that '06 was a fluke and that in the next few years we'll ahve a team to be proud of here in DC.

[JCav06]

despite the fact that we played like s**t, we still beat arizona. yet, we're ranked below them and another team we blew out two weeks ago? incredible.

[mAshparie36]

Why is it the other team gets credit when we steal one from them, but when they steal one from us, it's b/c they're such a good team?

very true.

green bay and Ny still suck.... balls

[capt1an chaos]

They are no longer going to be mike and mike, they have legally changed their names to neil and bob! Negative press who'd a thunk it?

[Heidenreich]

Only on ES are there threads about how we suck, next to a thread complaining about how a radio show also says we suck.

Gotta love it.....
