The cold hard truth (sad but true)

[SkinFan63]

We are a pathetically average team this year with a below average offense and a slightly above average defense and let's just take a look at the facts here shall we?


Week one vs Dolphins 16-13......wow, what a omen as to our 2007 season.
Week two, barely beat the Eagles who totally SUCKED then but now are the team we've grown to hate. Oh, and we'll get to enjoy them kicking our ass next weekend.
Week three vs Giants, a game we should have won, and at the time, the Giants SUCKED, but we pissed away a first half lead and let them score 21 unanswered points and wala.....another loss.
Week four vs the lions. Apparently, the Lions melted down and made us look good, because on the average, we don't look good this year.
Week five, the Packers....a good team, that we SHOULD HAVE beaten, but again, pissed away the lead and added another L to our loss column. I personally consider this game, the game that would define our season......and let me tell ya, it has!
Week six, the pathetic Cardinals,.........again barely beating a team that sucks. Who are we kidding?
Week seven: The Patriots. All I can say about this game is that I would be sooooooooooooooo embarrassed to be a Redskin after that humiliating ordeal in which it appeared that we never even showed up for the game.
Week eight........wow, we barely beat a 1-6 Jets team. Are you getting the drift here? Are you connecting the dots? Joe Gibbs, can you hear us?
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone listening? I am currently watching a REAL football game, Colt vs Patriots. Attention Redskins coaching (or lack thereof) staff........ These are real football teams and this is how real football teams play football. Maybe you should take notes! Maybe you should put your mouth/actions where your money is. Because the money involved in this team is unfathomable and the actions are non-existant.

[RyansRangers]

jets were 1-7 so your wrogn

[Bacon]

slightly above average defense

Say again that after we have another game like we did against the Pats, and I may give your point some thought. Today, we only gave up 13 offensive points.

[LD0506]

Ok, set the rifle down and back away from the tower window......

[emor09]

wow, some people dont understand 5-3 is half way to 10-6...

[One Shot]

Here's something that doesn't make sense about your post. You say we should have beaten 2 good teams in Green Bay and New York, but then you say we are average. Average teams don't beat good teams, so why would you say we should have won the Green Bay and New York games?

BTW, it's not "wala", it's voila. Mike Sellars went to Walla Walla, maybe that's what you're thinking about?

[Hemlock]

You take a team like the Jets and you are facing a team with nothing to lose, plus it was a road game.

What were you saying after we beat Philly the first time? How about when we DESTROYED the 5-2 Lions?

Be a fan, or not. Fans don't whine or make excuses... they believe in their team and hope for the best.

Hail SKINS!

[terpfan]

OK so the teams we have beat havent been good. But the teams weve lost to have turned out to be very good. So eh... it works both ways.

[Aston]

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone listening?No, we're not.

Douche.

[jnhay]

I love how people think they're smarter than coaches of NFL teams. Everybody wants to give Joe Gibbs some tips.

[SkinsFanInFL]

Yea. The cold hard truth is that some people around here are just plain f'ing miserable!!! piss and moan like a ***** after a win and a 5-3 record.This site is a trip.

[STBonecrusher21]

Shut up, dude. Sorry. Your about to get way worse than I just gave you.

[nneece]

Here's something that doesn't make sense about your post. You say we should have beaten 2 good teams in Green Bay and New York, but then you say we are average. Average teams don't beat good teams, so why would you say we should have won the Green Bay and New York games?

Exactly, we didn't. We are exceptionally average.

[ColdnGrey]

The Pats and Colts are in a different universe then the rest of the league. You should have directed that section of your rant to every coach and staff in the league that doesn't work for either of those teams.

[Bacon]

OK so the teams we have beat havent been good. But the teams weve lost to have turned out to be very good. So eh... it works both ways.

Yep. We are what our record says we are: good, but much work needs to be done.

[ArtMonk_fav.redskin]

Eagles, 2 against the Cowboys, Bucs, Bears, Bills, Giants and Vikings... I do not see 5 wins there, maybe 3 if they are lucky.

Not much about his post makes sense. Its riddled with incosistency and bull**** whining.

Like I've said before, as long as we're winning games, I'm not going to be a punk and cry about it.

[Bacon]

What does that mean? :(

It means that he doesn't want to say we're good, because it'll take the attention away from him if he does.

[nneece]

What does that mean? :(

That means the only good team, impressive win, we have this year is against Detroit. Otherwise, our wins have come against mostly bad teams, and the Skins, as a team, is exceptionally average.

[Gart Monk]

I agree with the thread starter. It's just tough love people. A decisive victory over the Jets on the road was the only thing that would convince me that the Skins might be contenders.

Fortunately the Skins still control their own destiny. Unfortunately the Skins haven't gotten over finding a way to beat themselves.

Let us pray for some division magic in the upcoming weeks.

[jnhay]

Eagles, 2 against the Cowboys, Bucs, Bears, Bills, Giants and Vikings... I do not see 5 wins there, maybe 3 if they are lucky.

Not even if we beat the Eagles next week? That's not a very tough schedule. We'll go 13-3.

[nneece]

I would love to say the Skins are good. But it's simply not true right now. I would be a liar. We need to get healthy, grow some balls on offense, and beat a good team like the Giants. Then we can start to think about having a conversation about being good.

[Gart Monk]

Lmao, dude, you're 35, you serious?

35 in dog years

[cozmikbuffalo]

I couldn't agree with you more. The money being spent on our coaching staff is astronomical

[z0eboy]

I love how people think they're smarter than coaches of NFL teams. Everybody wants to give Joe Gibbs some tips. :applause: thats the cold hard truth (sad but true) :cheers:

I still don't get it, but I appreciate the explanation.

Where are the MOD's. Or do they only appear when someone says disparaging remarks about Joe Gibbs on a consistent basis. Is this the kind of character you homers refer to so often when making your case about why we should blindly love this team.

[jnhay]

fag ***** punk ass ...you sir are no fan
Iron Sheik, is that you?

[cozmikbuffalo]

Maybe, but that's not the point of this thread. The OP contradicts himself.

Why because the Jets are 1-7 and not 1-6. Wouldn't this make his point more valid since they are actually worse than reported.

[ArtMonk_fav.redskin]

Not even if we beat the Eagles next week? That's not a very tough schedule. We'll go 13-3.

4 definite L's are 2 with the Cowboys, Giants in NY and Bucs... Eagles and Bills are 50/50 and I like their chances against the Vikes, Bears.

:logo:

[skin_finatic]

were 5-3, thats whats true. who cares how we got there. Were halfway to 10-6. a win is a win. people need to just shut up and enjoy em

[Sticksboi05]

This is a professional sports league and a win is a win so just be quiet and accept that you don't have to blow teams out even any week to be a good team Good teams aren't teams who win big, they are teams who WIN.

Why do you always cry for the MODS when someone says something bad? They'll deal with it when they see it, they're just busy dealing with all the other clowns around this board.

Why start a thread on here like this? After a WIN? Did you think the Skins were going to the super bowl this year or even the playoffs. It makes me wonder if you're really a fan or just here to cause trouble. I can't stand crybaby fans like you at games or on here, constanly bashing the team you claim to love.

I'm a homer, so I like all our games, but I'd say I like the second Dallas game even more because we'll have Randy Thomas by then hopefully. That'll help keep their offense off the field.

I see your reasoning for the Giants, but the Bucs being an automatic loss?

Here is an Idea, Go be a colts or pats fan! I mean thats real football Right, Just go away!!!

[IHOPSkins]

Colts an Pats....Top Tier

Miami and St Louis.....Bottom Tier

Average win loss....about 4-4

We are 5-3......thats above average to me

I think we are in the thick of it...thats good

[SkinFan63]

jets were 1-7 so your wrogn
Whatever

Say again that after we have another game like we did against the Pats, and I may give your point some thought. Today, we only gave up 13 offensive points.
Against a horrific team I may add

Ok, set the rifle down and back away from the tower window......

Against the rest of the leage, they are average at best.

No, we're not.

I guess you told all of them. Nice job. Maybe you should find a new team. You may think you are but you're no real fan. All i've seen from your posts is pissing a moaning. I'd hate to see how you were when the team was coached by Turner and Spurrier.

[Doctorfro]

wow, some people dont understand 5-3 is half way to 10-6...

Be serious. Take a look at the schedule, son. The way we played versus jets.....we're lucky if we get more than two more wins. Be real.

[jnhay]

Why is it impossible that the Jets had a good game? Clemens played really well. If the Lions game didn't correspond to the upcoming games, why does the Jets game have to?

[Smurf85]

wow, some people dont understand 5-3 is half way to 10-6...

Some people don't understand we have only beat one team over 500 and that was the Lions.:rolleyes:

[MONTEY]

We lose to the Eagles and I assure you all we'll be considered a below average team. No matter what happens in tonight's game next Sunday could very well be our biggest test before we play the Cowturds. Skins cannot lose to the Eagles. Should not be allowed.

[Thoth]

I often bash Gibbs on posts, but we beat the Lions soundly.


If healthy and properly coached this is a solid playoff, but not championship, team.

The main problem, besides injuries, is coaching.

We are a 5-3 team and currently in the playoff hunt.

But we won't go far in playoffs.

[pgitta]

You take a team like the Jets and you are facing a team with nothing to lose, plus it was a road game.

What were you saying after we beat Philly the first time? How about when we DESTROYED the 5-2 Lions?

Be a fan, or not. Fans don't whine or make excuses... they believe in their team and hope for the best.

Hail SKINS!

The bigger question is, why do people feel the need to express constant negativity?

Do you feel better saying it? Some perverse pleasure in stepping on everyone else's buzz?

Does it serve any purpose whatsoever? Does it make the team better?

I say no.

It's like a silly, spoiled child pouting because he wanted a transformer for Christmas, and got matchboxes instead.

[jnhay]

Some people don't understand we have only beat one team over 500 and that was the Lions.:rolleyes:
And lost to three very good teams. If you care about opponents records so much, you should be excited about the rest of the season.

[TheItalianStallion]

The Eagles are a good (for the NFC) team; they're ranked in the top 10 (prior to their game w/ the pukes, we'll see how that turns out). Their only problem is that they don't score TDs in the red zone. And we beat them in their house on Monday Night.

[STBonecrusher21]

If you don't like the team so much, why are you still here? Were still gonna be here when you leave, and so will the Redskins.

[Robbynice]

Some people don't understand we have only beat one team over 500 and that was the Lions.:rolleyes:
How many teams over .500 has the cowboys or the gaints beaten?

[SeanTaylor'sFist]

I like how this guy thinks he is a big deal, like he just discovered America, even gave a warning in the thread title.

[flexxskins]

WOW! I cant believe you have the testicular fortitude to say these things! It was right there in front of us, yet noone had the cahones to come out and say it. I COMMEND YOUWhatever happen to the good ol days when balls were just plain ol balls? :)

BTW, since when did it take balls to simply post comments on a message board? What could possibly happen?

[Redskinloyal_1]

Whats funny is that everyone is bashing this guys thread, but last week there were 20 of these and everyone was agreeing to them. I believe we are average and our coaching staff is below average.


People choose a side last week we suck this week we are good. What are we? Make your mind up espescially you tailgate mafia that picture annoys the hell out of me.

[Jbg2788]

people like you make me sick to my stomach, you have no right to consider yourself a skins fan you coward. Why are you trying soo hard to convince us real fans that the skins stink? I was watching with a few people like you today and when we fell behind 17-3 they all bitched and moaned and said "game over" and I told them right then and there that the skins were gonna win this game, I was 100% positive we would fight back and win it. And while i was cheering my @ss off watching portis rip off that run in OT and demolish dyson, they sounded like they were sad that the redskins had proved them wrong. Here's a little advice, if you are really a redskins fan, you might try rooting for the team instead of against them. you'll enjoy it alot more when they make their late season surge into the playoffs.

[SeanTaylor'sFist]

Why can't people think what they want to think? Why can't people change what they think after they see more and more of this Redskins team?

My opinion of the Patriots has changed since 24 hours ago. My opinion of the Colts, Redskins, Jets, and many other teams has changed since yesterday. What's the problem?

[Bacon]

How many teams over .500 has the cowboys or the gaints beaten?

For Dallas, the answer rhymes with "zero".

The Giants don't fare much better.

[noshirtforyou]

We are a pathetically average team this year with a below average offense and a slightly above average defense and let's just take a look at the facts here shall we?


Week one vs Dolphins 16-13......wow, what a omen as to our 2007 season.
Week two, barely beat the Eagles who totally SUCKED then but now are the team we've grown to hate. Oh, and we'll get to enjoy them kicking our ass next weekend.
Week three vs Giants, a game we should have won, and at the time, the Giants SUCKED, but we pissed away a first half lead and let them score 21 unanswered points and wala.....another loss.
Week four vs the lions. Apparently, the Lions melted down and made us look good, because on the average, we don't look good this year.
Week five, the Packers....a good team, that we SHOULD HAVE beaten, but again, pissed away the lead and added another L to our loss column. I personally consider this game, the game that would define our season......and let me tell ya, it has!
Week six, the pathetic Cardinals,.........again barely beating a team that sucks. Who are we kidding?
Week seven: The Patriots. All I can say about this game is that I would be sooooooooooooooo embarrassed to be a Redskin after that humiliating ordeal in which it appeared that we never even showed up for the game.
Week eight........wow, we barely beat a 1-6 Jets team. Are you getting the drift here? Are you connecting the dots? Joe Gibbs, can you hear us?
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone listening? I am currently watching a REAL football game, Colt vs Patriots. Attention Redskins coaching (or lack thereof) staff........ These are real football teams and this is how real football teams play football. Maybe you should take notes! Maybe you should put your mouth/actions where your money is. Because the money involved in this team is unfathomable and the actions are non-existant.


Now I know why Iowa doesn't have a football team..maybe you should just be a Vikings fan

[RedskinPryde]

Cant argue with you too much about the Offense but on Defense I think your more then wrong.
We have allways been known for having a defense being a force to wreckon with...and this years no different from the others.
We really got a brickwall for a Defense.

Offense really does have alot to be desired because theres just SOOO much talent I hate for it not to be used!!!!

[ComebackKing]

I'm worried about the defense without Rogers though.

Smoot played pretty well today though if he can keep it up we might be in good shape.

[SKINS FAN #56]

Wow imagine what this guy would have posted if we had lost :laugh:

Relax man. Life is good, we won. Now let's focus on next week, shall we? No point of sitting there bitching about what we could've and should've done earlier this season.

[SearchHorizon]

I missed the game, but looking at the game stats, there seems to be a reason for some optimism.

I think our line is beginning to get some health back. More specifically, it looks like Wade, Casey and Kendall are recovering. Fabini is the weak link.

How do I know? Our running game -- apparently, it was working.

I think we will have a real chance at winning against the eagles.

[NYskins]

We are average. Until we can score with some regularity, we will stay that way. Im just happy we left with a win. Im just holding out hope that the passing game will start up eventually... I thought today was the day, but no... We looked so good in the begininning of the third Qtr passing the ball. Keep doing that - good lord.

[Seabee1973]

wow, some people dont understand 5-3 is half way to 10-6...


if thaty was true wouldnt 7-1 in 96 have been half way to 14-2 or 6-2 in 2000 would have been 12 and 4?

[Seabee1973]

Yep. We are what our record says we are: good, but much work needs to be done.


lucky seems better and ill take being lucky any day over being good

[Seabee1973]

fag ***** punk ass ...you sir are no fan




Might want to check the rules on name calling

[Seabee1973]

I agree with the thread starter. It's just tough love people. A decisive victory over the Jets on the road was the only thing that would convince me that the Skins might be contenders.

Fortunately the Skins still control their own destiny. Unfortunately the Skins haven't gotten over finding a way to beat themselves.

Let us pray for some division magic in the upcoming weeks.


actually as of right now we dont control our own destiny

[Bacon]

actually as of right now we dont control our own destiny

Nope. Our video cameras haven't arrived yet, so it's up to the other teams to decide whether we win or lose. :)

[hands11]

Well, we are average at this point because we are waiting on our new QB to take it to the next level and we lost half our line in a short period of time.

This is what I see.

So far, Campbell is doing ok. Just ok. I'm glad he isn't making lots of mistakes but at the same time, he isn't shinning either. He does so good. Some bad. But mostly average. I guess that is a plus because with ever game he gets more experience.

That said, I see some really talent QBs out there. I was impressed with the young Jets QBs. He seems to have that feel and he has talent. Romo is way better then Campell.

Mostly, this team is waiting on Campbell. He needs to hit a few more of those long balls. Great arm but he is off on the long ball more often then he is one. He needed to lead Moss to the center of the field instead of forcing him toward his back side. He has missed Moss several time long this year and Moss needs to get a few of those so he can get off. El looks great as a WR and we have other WR we havent even worked in yet. Mostly because the passing game/Campbell doest have it going yet. The damaged line has something to do with this.

Today's decision seemed to be centered around focusing on giving Portis most the carries instead of splitting it up. Portis is coming off some major injuries. He didn't get much out of preseason. I finally saw his speed today.
That is the plus to take away from this game. Seeing that improvement while getting a W is a plus. The line is coming around also. One more game of them playing together is good.

We have a ways to go but we did some good foundation building today.

Portis is ready to break out.
The line is getting better.
Campbell got another game under his belt.
We got a W.

Now Campbell needs a game where we see him take another step.

We arent out of the wood yet but we are building.

[WHALEN]

OK so the teams we have beat havent been good. But the teams weve lost to have turned out to be very good. So eh... it works both ways.
Well we did crush the Lions their not that bad.

[djotroy17]

Go route for the cowboys please.

[skinpride1]

We are a pathetically average team this year with a below average offense and a slightly above average defense and let's just take a look at the facts here shall we?


Week one vs Dolphins 16-13......wow, what a omen as to our 2007 season.
Week two, barely beat the Eagles who totally SUCKED then but now are the team we've grown to hate. Oh, and we'll get to enjoy them kicking our ass next weekend.
Week three vs Giants, a game we should have won, and at the time, the Giants SUCKED, but we pissed away a first half lead and let them score 21 unanswered points and wala.....another loss.
Week four vs the lions. Apparently, the Lions melted down and made us look good, because on the average, we don't look good this year.
Week five, the Packers....a good team, that we SHOULD HAVE beaten, but again, pissed away the lead and added another L to our loss column. I personally consider this game, the game that would define our season......and let me tell ya, it has!
Week six, the pathetic Cardinals,.........again barely beating a team that sucks. Who are we kidding?
Week seven: The Patriots. All I can say about this game is that I would be sooooooooooooooo embarrassed to be a Redskin after that humiliating ordeal in which it appeared that we never even showed up for the game.
Week eight........wow, we barely beat a 1-6 Jets team. Are you getting the drift here? Are you connecting the dots? Joe Gibbs, can you hear us?
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone listening? I am currently watching a REAL football game, Colt vs Patriots. Attention Redskins coaching (or lack thereof) staff........ These are real football teams and this is how real football teams play football. Maybe you should take notes! Maybe you should put your mouth/actions where your money is. Because the money involved in this team is unfathomable and the actions are non-existant.


Damn that is a little on the harsh side. I agree that I see a lot of just mediocre play from the skins on both sides of the ball except from some few individuals. We played a horrible Jets team today and this was the results from our offense.

field goal
punt
field goal
field goal
field goal
interception
touchdown thanks to the defense getting us the ball back
punt
Ot-field goal

How are we ever going to beat any good teams(dallas,Giants,colts,pats) with results like that?

Joe Gibbs went back to a commitment for the run today which is fine with me because you have to start somewhere to fix a 28th ranked offense.

Jason Campbell's accuracy has to improve and he is still not getting rid of the ball fast enough. Joe and Al have to find a way to improve the deep Ball and get Jason's passes down(to high) on the intermediate routes. I'm getting tired of watching balls sail over there hands and head.

Fix the Run and Campbell's play and we could start to see a different offense!!!

[Slacky McSlackAss]

No, we're not.

Douche.
:applause:

Sometimes being blunt is the only way they understand.

[skinfansince63]

If I have said this once I have repeated it 100 times. All of you "REDSKINS FANS" that find it so painful to win and/or loose close games need to find another team to cheer for, oh that's right I forgot you don't know how to cheer, just pi** and moan! Well go pi** and moan for somebody else! I for one am sick and tired of all the negitive crap you so call fans spew.

Yes the Redskins have to fight for every win, if you have not noticed so does every other middle of the road team. 5-3 people, 5-3! The way some of you act it's like we are 0-8! Want a winning team all the time? Buy 32 jerseys one for each team and wear one for the winner that week. But don't call yourself a fan.

If you want to be a fan then you pick your team and support! Does that mean you have to like or agree everything they do? NO! It means that as long as they continue to fight, as long as they don't give up then neither do you.

A lot of the "FANS" I see on this board wrote this team off before the first game of the season! Now you write us off half way through the season! I have one question for you. Why do you stay? Why do you continue to "SAY" you support this team, when everyone can plainly see you DON'T!

Please go away!! We will not miss you! I for one do not feel that you deserve to be called a REDSKIN FAN! We have pride! We have devotion! We live and die with this team! You look for the easy way out.

I will pay attention to you nagitive bi***ing when just one of you can show me that you have the brains and expirence to ran an NFL FOOTBALL TEAM! YOU DON'T! and you never will. So please go away!

:2cents: :2cents:

HTTR

[ddub52]

Whatever happen to the good ol days when balls were just plain ol balls? :)

BTW, since when did it take balls to simply post comments on a message board? What could possibly happen?I was being sarcastic... It just gets aggrevating that people come on here and think that they have BALLS for "telling the truth"

[Frediemac]

You MIGHT be right about the team being average but your post is sooooo negative it's disgusting. How can you really call yourself a Redskins fan? You sound like your really not sure if your a fan of the team. Please chill a little bit. Be a little more kind in your judgement. Beating the Cardinals and Jets by Field goals is still beating them. These teams played us better than they played on most other sundays. and always remember HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!. ALWAYS AND FOREVER! :point2sky :)

[Parker]

We are a pathetically average team this year with a below average offense and a slightly above average defense and let's just take a look at the facts here shall we?


Facts:

- We are 5-3
-The teams with a better record then us in the NFC are
Dallas Cowboys
Green Bay Packers
New York Giants
Detroit Lions (we've beaten)
Tampa Bay (tied with 5 wins)

Predictions:

- We'll beat the Eagles at home, our defense will give their recievers hell.
- Cowboys I see us losing unless we can put pressure on Romo.
- Buccs I see us shutting their offense down another W for us.
- Bills we should beat them.
- Bears this game could go either way.
- Giants I think we win this one.
- Vikings aslong as we can stop the run we will win this game.
- Cowboys at home I see us winning this game.

Overall record at the end of the season: 10-5

Bottom Line

Stop Complaining & Shut Up

We dont get extra points at the end of the season for all the points we've scored this isnt Fantasy Football. A win is a win.



SkinFan63 does the 63 mean that youre a fan only 63% of the time?

[skinsfan4221977]

A win is a win is a win and the confidence can't be underestimated. We are 5-3 and as good as a 5-3 team. End of story. HAIL!

[Bacon]

A win is a win is a win and the confidence can't be underestimated. We are 5-3 and as good as a 5-3 team. End of story. HAIL!

Noooooo you're wrong! :mad: Unless you win by 25+ points and outgain your opponents by at least 300 yards, it's not a "real" win. I figured you would know that. Get with the times. :rolleyes:

[Shadowfire]

God forbid anyone talks to someone with some respect around here. We have 30, 40, and 50 year old people cussing at other fans for no good reason. I may not always agree with another fan but I don't want them to leave the team and leave the Redskin family. Can we try to lift each other up a little instead of putting each other down? So what if they are angry and doubting, this is where you come to complain because its family and you gripe to family. Let's try to support them even when they are wrong and show them why they are wrong instead of calling names and taking cheap shots. WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER DURING THE GOOD AND BAD TIMES AND NOT FIGHT LIKE SPOILED LITTLE BRATS...

[tenken627]

What's the old football adage?

"You win first, then you get good"?

Your not gonna turn a 5-11 team into a powerhouse in an instant.

When you win though, it gives you the necessary time to become a powerhouse.

[cozmikbuffalo]

Why do you always cry for the MODS when someone says something bad? They'll deal with it when they see it, they're just busy dealing with all the other clowns around this board.

I am pointing it out one shot because I was reprimanded by not one MOD, but 4 simply for consistently saying that Joe Gibbs sucks. No bad names, no cussing, no put downs. Soooo, I am making a point to say something every time I see something worthy of reprimand. Now you know.

[jaltenhe]

Can Anyone On This Forum Just Be Happy That Were 5-3? Everyone Loves To B****...just Be Happy We Arent In The Cellar Of The Nfc East Like Every Other Year...and If You CanT Accept That, Just Be Glad You Arent A Dolphins Or Rams Fan...

[cozmikbuffalo]

Say again that after we have another game like we did against the Pats, and I may give your point some thought. Today, we only gave up 13 offensive points.

13 points is true enough, but their 3rd down conversion percentage was 61 for the complete game. Not good defense. Also they got 331 yards of total offense. Not good defense. Our best defense clearly was their recievers ability to drop passes when they were wide open. Not good defense. Letting the Jets come right down the field at the end of the game to kick the tying field goal. Not good defense. And allowing them to complete a 39 yard pass on the first play of OT. Not good defense. You sir are wrong!!!

[cozmikbuffalo]

Can Anyone On This Forum Just Be Happy That Were 5-3? Everyone Loves To B****...just Be Happy We Arent In The Cellar Of The Nfc East Like Every Other Year...and If You CanT Accept That, Just Be Glad You Arent A Dolphins Or Rams Fan...

Those of us that are "########" are the only ones that see the writing on the wall. Believe me if we continue on this path we will be in the cellar in about 3 weeks. The cellar of our division that is.

[cozmikbuffalo]

Why start a thread on here like this? After a WIN? Did you think the Skins were going to the super bowl this year or even the playoffs. It makes me wonder if you're really a fan or just here to cause trouble. I can't stand crybaby fans like you at games or on here, constanly bashing the team you claim to love.

It's hard to love "head in the sand" fans like you too that don't see that we are right where we were before. Mediocre at best, eeking out wins against teams we should clearly dominate. But, you guys will see what we see in about 7 days from now when the Eagles come to town and own us on our own field.

[cozmikbuffalo]

I'm a homer, so I like all our games, but I'd say I like the second Dallas game even more because we'll have Randy Thomas by then hopefully. That'll help keep their offense off the field.

I see your reasoning for the Giants, but the Bucs being an automatic loss?

Fabini and Wade are doing a great job. Randy Thomas isn't going to make that much of a difference. In fact they would be stupid to rush him back since they are doing a good job in his stead. At least now they are really gelling.

[cozmikbuffalo]

And lost to three very good teams. If you care about opponents records so much, you should be excited about the rest of the season.

Certainly you jest sir!!

[cozmikbuffalo]

If you don't like the team so much, why are you still here? Were still gonna be here when you leave, and so will the Redskins.

Ok, so now it's my way or the highway?? Are you George Bush buddy!! If so then go to hell.

[cozmikbuffalo]

people like you make me sick to my stomach, you have no right to consider yourself a skins fan you coward. Why are you trying soo hard to convince us real fans that the skins stink? I was watching with a few people like you today and when we fell behind 17-3 they all bitched and moaned and said "game over" and I told them right then and there that the skins were gonna win this game, I was 100% positive we would fight back and win it. And while i was cheering my @ss off watching portis rip off that run in OT and demolish dyson, they sounded like they were sad that the redskins had proved them wrong. Here's a little advice, if you are really a redskins fan, you might try rooting for the team instead of against them. you'll enjoy it alot more when they make their late season surge into the playoffs.

How come all of you homers attack people like me that don't agree with the way this team is going. I guess you all are like the people that say that if you don't agree with killing innocent people and having your rights stripped away that you aren't a Patriot of this country. You make me sick. So sick I just want to puke.

[cozmikbuffalo]

No you weren't. But I'm making a point of letting people on all sides of all topics know that you're...

[Jumbo]

cozmikbuffalo--I guess you all are like the people that say that if you don't agree with killing innocent people and having your rights stripped away that you aren't a Patriot of this country. You make me sick. So sick I just want to puke.

I kinda have fun with nuts when they are on the lighter side :D , but not only do you give plenty of evidence of being a tad out of alignment tonight, you're starting to really go off the deep end. You've been ramping up to it since talking to Om, earlier. So, leaving now of your own free will would be the best move, and get some rest and come back tomorrow, but not too early. :)

[cozmikbuffalo]

[adamyesme1111]

Is it just me or is his name "skinsfan63" is an obvious attempt to play it off like he is actually a Redskins fan. He is a troll IMO.

I mean if there is a skins fan that wants more then wins then what the hell do you want?:doh:

[Potato Sack]

Eagles, 2 against the Cowboys, Bucs, Bears, Bills, Giants and Vikings... I do not see 5 wins there, maybe 3 if they are lucky.

:logo:

Oh come on! The Eagles, bucs, bears, Bills, and Vikings are winnable games. And if we're able to split with the Cowturds, we're 11-5.

[Thirtyfive2seven]

The Redskins attempted 3 passes over 15 yards yesterday.

1-10-NYJ 33 (11:25) 17-J.Campbell pass incomplete deep left to 89-S.Moss [54-V.Hobson].

3-7-NYJ 39 (12:21) (Shotgun) 17-J.Campbell pass deep middle to 89-S.Moss to NYJ 23 for 16 yards (27-A.Elam).

I can't find the one semi deep ball to our new deep threat, James Thrash but thought I should include it as an afterthought.

I'm not complaining I'm just stating a fact.

[Park City Skins]

Some peope's kids these days. Okay children. Let's play nice.

Fabini and Wade are doing a great job. Randy Thomas isn't going to make that much of a difference. In fact they would be stupid to rush him back since they are doing a good job in his stead. At least now they are really gelling.

They're doing so well that we are rarely running to the right side. :rolleyes: Our run game will benefit greatly from Thomas' return. Those guys are filling in alright, but Fabini's no Randy Thomas.

Having Thomas play in the last game is not rushing it at all. I think they said at least by the Giants game.

Certainly you jest sir!!
I don't. The second half of our schedule is supposedly easier than the first. Hopefully we don't catch teams as their on the rise though.

[RedskinsInFebruary]

Facts:

- We are 5-3
-The teams with a better record then us in the NFC are
Dallas Cowboys

- Cowboys I see us losing unless we can put pressure on Romo.
- Buccs I see us shutting their offense down another W for us.
- Bills we should beat them.

Well re: the Bills, I think what we are seeing is the superiority of the AFC--I think we should beat them, but we're finding most AFC teams, even the ones who are average-to-terrible in AFC standings, are giving us a tough time. Dallas had a tough time w. the Bills for example.



- Bears this game could go either way.
- Giants I think we win this one.
- Vikings aslong as we can stop the run we will win this game.
- Cowboys at home I see us winning this game.

Overall record at the end of the season: 10-5

[Skins110]

Bottom line is no one knows how good or how bad we are because we play every game close (not including the Pats game). But the bottom line is midway through this season, we already have as many wins as we did all of last season. Stop complaining everybody! 5-3 is much better than 5-11. Our team isn't overwhelmingly talented. We should be happy with 5-3.

[jaxskinsville]

Exactly, we didn't. We are exceptionally average.

I don't know about the "exceptionally" part but everything supports the "average" argument.

That's okay though, the Colts and the Pats spent many years as average while gathering all the pieces needed to be better than average.
