What if the Skins Lay a Spanking on the Pats? (Merged Ponderously)

[Reaganaut]

I think everyone would agree the coverage for this game has taken on an almost comical air in the past week. Common wisdom is, football fans desperately want the Pats and Indy to be undefeated for the following weekend and for New England to lay a rout on the Skins.

It's contrary to the zeitgeist on the Patriots, but I get the feeling that the Skins are being SET UP in the media as spoilers that are being told they have no chance to win with the hopes that they will spoil Tom Brady's big party.

Stranger things have happened in sports when the coverage gets this ridiculous. I don't know what the chances are, but every day I get the increasing feeling that the Skins are being channeled with freakish energy to pull off an upset.

I know it sounds crazy, but how about them apples?

[Touchdown Redskins]

If we win big over the Patriots, we will go to the Superbowl.

[Skinz#28Rules]

That would be nice, but if by some chance we would happen to make it to the superbowl, and have to play them again it could very well be a turn of the tables if we spank them in their house this weekend.

Now that being said, I would rather hope that we would just squeek out another hard fought win without having to show them too much on offense, but hopefully improving enough on offense to sustain drives and just rely on our defense. Kinda like the eagles game, not overly impressive but we did just enough.

Here's to our offense doing just enough and our defense playing lights out, oh an INJURY free game!! LETS GO SKINS, WE CAN DO THIS!!!:cheers:

If we win, we start preparing for the Jets on 11/4. If we lose, we start preparing for the Jets on 11/4. We have 10 more games on the schedule. It'd feel awesome though, haha.

[Godfather151981]

Regardless of the game against the Colts, I think this is one game where a lot of the country might actually be pulling for us. First off, a lot of people are sick of the Patriots. Secondly, there's still the whole cheating thing. If there's one team that people don't want to see go undefeated, it's probably New England.

[Loxley]

I actually dreamed this last night. I dreamt that I saw this thread already, but it had been bumped after the game. Every page had posts like "**** me, we won."

The most ironic thing about it was, there was no negativity anywhere, so I knew I was dreaming.

[Doctor ToughLove]

It would take a LOT of points by the Redskins defense to win. The only thing I see playing into that is Brady has gotten a little spoiled throwing to Randy Moss, he's enjoyed the luxury of being able to throw it up for grabs & Randy Moss has delivered/bullying the ball away from defenders. I don't think he will be able to do that against Sean Taylor. And if Sean Taylor can smell blood on the battlefield he should smell it big time in this game. If Taylor were to have a career game it would be legendary/a game for the ages that would never be forgotten and probably cement an All-Pro appearance by the season's halfway mark. I've been harder on Taylor than most because he's been exonerated for being a pain in ass at times while being most overhyped as all-probowl caliber player which he's not rightfully been despite the hype until this season - but if Taylor comes up big in this game, that would be it, I would be won over and in the tank for him. Come on Sean, do it.

If the Redskins do beat the Patriots it would never be lived down. The town would go nuts. 5-2 with win over probably the greatest goliath the nfl has seen in years.

If we win big over the Patriots, we will go to the Superbowl.

Actually, Skins win over the Pats, they will probably lose to the Jets. They've given us no reason to think otherwise.:mad:

[Xameil]

If we win big over the Patriots, we will go to the Superbowl.


If we win over the Patriots, the media everywhere will still give us no credit. They'll say the Pats had an off day, and that player X was not playing up to their full potential because they had a hangnail... :doh:

everybody will use the good old "they were looking ahead to the Colts" excuse, but i could care less about that, just give me a victory.

[bootzilla]

Did anyone think that Buster douglass would beat Mike tyson or App State would beat Michigan. We are Buster Douglass, We are App state

[Larry Brown #43]

People would say the Pats were looking ahead to the Colts. OR...

People would say we cheated.

[andyburd]

What if they lay a whipping on us? I just hope there won't be too much suicide if we get thrashed

[Rocky21]

What if pigs fly?

[BDOG510]

Please guys, step away from the pipe. I love the skins but them beating the Pats with this offense is comical.

[BuryYourDuke]

A lot of people here will be booking Superbowl hotel rooms...

What if the Skins Lay a Spanking on the Pats?
By mid-day Monday, someone would start a thread titled, "Why We'll Choke Against the Jets."

[crank]

What if pigs fly?

and hell will freeze over this weekend.

You have to love all the positive thoughts on this board.

HA! Non-believer. :)

The Redskins WILL win this Sunday. :logo:

[Potato Sack]

By mid-day Monday, someone would start a thread titled, "Why We'll Choke Against the Jets."

And another thread titled, "Gibbs needs to stop being so conservative!"

[BAFGA]

The media still won't pay us any attention if we beat the Patriots. Especially if we knock out one of their good players.

They'll focus on how the Patriots lost the game rather than acknowledge that the Redskins won the game. It was like that for the Eagles game.

It's going to take a Super Bowl or 4 more to help the Redskin legacy

[Santana_Fan]

I know 98% of the U.S. thinks this game belongs to the Patriots, but the way I see the defense acting in the interviews, seems evil...I hope they come out on the field, and play viciously.

[HrPuffNstuFF]

I heard that in the defense's voices during radio interviews as well. There was a tone there that did not sound like bode's well if you got a pat's jersey on. Lets see if we can get our offensive guys sounding the same way, we win.

[VBHOGG]

A lot of people here will be booking Superbowl hotel rooms...

There's no doubt about that. I had guys sitting behing me at the Cards game chanting "Superbowl, Superbowl, Superbowl!" Granted, they were three sheets to the wind, but it sure doesn't take much to get a Redskins fan excited. :cheers:

[GamaGoliath]

Did anyone think that Buster douglass would beat Mike tyson or App State would beat Michigan. We are Buster Douglass, We are App state

You might want to rethink that. Buster wasn't that good. That win was the only shining moment in his career. He laid down for Holyfield, ate himself into a diabetic coma, and faded into obscurity. Do you really want us to be THAT guy? HUH?? :laugh:

If we beat the Patriots, the front runner leeches will say that the Patriots had a bad game or that they were due for a lose.

We sure would be happy around here. A win for us could potentially open the doors for us down the stretch.

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

I would be estatic, but then again, this would be something for me to constantly rub into the faces of all the Cowboys fans around here.

[Loyal2Washington]

Considering the level of football play it will take to beat the Pats I would hope that the team continues to play with the same intensity and consistency throughout the rest of the year. That would most likely give us a few more wins and a playoff spot.

My fear would be turning around and then losing to the Jets the following week and proving the teams 3+ years of total inconsistency is a pattern here to stay.

[moviedude25]

Then hell has frozen over, not going to happen but I wish it would!

[mrdoctor]

If we win big over the Patriots, we will go to the Superbowl.:gaintsuck:eaglesuck:dallasuck

[Redskins Anonymous]

according to the media, if the skins win, a portal to hell will open up and the devil will rule the world before the eventual apocolypse.

[walker77]

What will the reaction be through out the league? Will experts be calling us Super Bowl contenders? What do you think will happen with the team after a win against the Pats?

[Santana_Fan]

They'd make all the excuses in the world, even if we beat them by 21.

[Stew]

The excuse will be that there wasnt enough cheating going on, leading up to the game.

[Chief skin]

Skins were lucky thats all they will talk about but who cares what they think we need this win lets take care of business

[Riggo-toni]

I'll be looking over my shoulder for the coming of the 7 horsemen of the apocalypse...

[FrFan]

Super Bowl bound

[santana_4_prez]

They would write this off as a 'trap game' for the Patriots. But we would move up to about 5 in the power ratings...

[KSUskinfan]

We'll actually get respect, because we would have earned it. Some will make excuses, but I find it hard to believe that the media is so anti - Skins as to make excuses across the board.

That being said, I could care less if we're respected or not this season. Let's just win and make the playoffs.

:logo:

[Blue Collar Skins]

Wasn't there already a post about the same thing?

[walker77]

Maybe, but I didn't see it. I think we DO have a shot, albeit a very long one. The game of Gibbs' career if we win. Yes Virginia, there is a santa caluse.

[Rocky21]

The Redskins WILL win this Sunday. SkinsGuy, just make sure you're here on Monday to take your bows or receive your shame.

[NattyLight]

If we win big over the Patriots, we will go to the Superbowl.

Of course we will. If we win big against the Patiots, Pats fans will be the second most arrogant fans in the NFL

[Redskins Anonymous]

Of course we will. If we win big against the Patiots, Pats fans will be the second most arrogant fans in the NFL

you mean the third most arrogant - philly is always number one in arrogance / false pride / most chokes / empty trophy cases.

[Doctor ToughLove]

I Remember in the 90s the Redskins were 16+ point underdogs to the Cowboys in their Superbowl days. A guy at work was a Cowboys fan and we bet a carton of imported cigarettes on the spread. The Redskins won outright.

It can happen. Look it up. That would be a good thread this week (remembering 16 point underdogs who have won).

[pjfootballer]

I could care less what anyone would think. If the Pats had a bad game, so be it. I'll take it. If they play without certain players. So be it. I'll take it. If they are looking ahead to the Colts, so be it. That's their problem. I'll take it.

[One Shot]

This place would be "bump negative nancy thread" central. I, of course, will be partaking in the fun.

[Sinclair]

The most ironic thing about it was, there was no negativity anywhere, so I knew I was dreaming.

i dreamed that i was hanging out with peyton manning at my work and I got shot in the neck by a guy trying to kill manning...somewhere in the dream i saw the score of the VT v. BC score VT-31 BC-0..and for some reason Tom Brady was playing for BC...any ideas??
