Let's show our boys that we are still behind them no matter what!

:point2sky

[Huly]

Remember, it's Coach Gibbs's birthday today. Please be sure to sing Happy Birthday to him. Not sure if my family will be able to make it to the homecoming.
Players: How 'bout giving The Coach what he deserves on his birthday by coming home with a victory? HTTR!

I will try to make a Happy Birthday sign or get a card for everyone to sign. I have a cold but I will be there tonight! ;)

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

I really love you guys...you always represent. Thanks!

[SkinsNatsFan]

See ya there! Happy birthday Coach Gibbs!

[a tru fan]

Mikachu and I will be there. A birthday card would be very nice. See ya there. Let's go skins!!

[TK]

Once again,win or lose, this will be a hater free thread. Ignore at your own peril.



Huly you should have Gibbs paw print the card. :)

[D'KanSkinFan]

Huly:


:D Would you please sign the card for us GEO Challenged Fans too?;)

You are awesome :point2sky


Lets win this one for Coach's Birthday and Pez's belated birthday gift!

[Art Monk 4 HOF]

LOL at you losers.

[Skins-in-CT]

LOL at you losers.

Well, that didn't take long. Enjoy your time off :D

[SkinsNatsFan]

LOL at you losers.

Already on NNT. Impressive. Do you belong on ES at all?

[voicekiller]

LOL at you losers.
So you will have a nice week off...see you for the Bills game

[cfcrider]

Give them a proper welcome home - throw eggs at them for giving us fans grief the last 3 weeks.

[Skins-in-CT]

And another one. Have fun on your vacation. Obviously reading is not your strong suit.

[Skins-in-CT]

Huly, Pez, et al - keep doing what you are doing. Win or lose this is our team and they need our support. Wish them well from us up north.

[TK]

LOL at you losers.
Hey.

Guess what.

I'm LOLing at YOU.

[cfcrider]

Uhm, look at the way the team is playing. They need critical support in the form of boos.

Of course that is your opinion and your perogative but if you bothered to read the thread you would understand why it doesn't belong here.

[carter23]

if anyone goes to this 'welcome home' they should be ashamed of themselves

[voicekiller]

Wow...there will be a lot of ES'ers on vacation this week

[SkinsNatsFan]

if anyone goes to this 'welcome home' they should be ashamed of themselves

I will be there and I won't be alone. Take your opinion somewhere else. You are not welcome here.

Next.

[grhqofb5]

I'm going to bake Joe Gibbs a big cake for his birthday and give it to him.

Edit: This game is not over. Have faith.

[docsandy]

I will be there :) As always.

[Skins81a]

Well I hope I dont get banned....there seems to be a unfair set of rules for this thread! I would like to know how people can go to a "welcome home" after players like Portis, who has run all over Gibbs tip toes thru the line and fumbles twice and cant catch. Or a WR who doesnt have his head in the game and a coach who doesnt get in their grill when it happens...hey but what ever makes you happy!

Call it supporting a team I've supported for as long as you have been alive. They need us more when they lose than when they win. They need to know their fans are behind them.

Plus, the game IS NOT OVER

[War Paint]

I concur. It's almost like the same mind set as those who drank the kool-aid in Jonestown.

More power to you my man! I dont know how you do it when a guy like Portis doesnt work hard, hasnt made any plays in weeks and really appears to care less! Give JC some props from our fans!

No. There happens to be a bunch of members that can't comprehend the words written to them. Nor can they bother themselves actually read the Forum Rules (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/announcement.php?f=24). Especially the last one.

But hey, if you guys want to walk into these Welcome Home threads with a KICK ME sign on your back & DUH tattooed on your forehead, then so be it. Just don't act all shocked like when I do kick you. Duh.

I concur. It's almost like the same mind set as those who drank the kool-aid in Jonestown.
Next.

[Jumbo]

Lemmings. It's a good thing.

[TK]

When life gives you lemons, find someone whom life gave vodka. :)

[pez]

Our boys sucked it up at half time and put on a hell of a show in the second half. They showed heart and I believe that deserves a hearty welcome home...

[Destino]

Show JC some support from me guys. He's going to catch a lot of heat but the mistakes go away with experience.

[Skins-in-CT]

Show JC some support from me guys. He's going to catch a lot of heat but the mistakes go away with experience.

I agree. They need support today so make sure you let them know the fans are still here. It's hard to over come 5 turnovers and win the game but you almost pulled it off with that 2nd half performance.

[RonJeremy]

Pez/Huly - You should be commended for your unwavering support. You both are better than me right now. I am not sure I am even going to attend the next game.

Glad someone is keeping the faith. :)

[Slacky McSlackAss]

Slacky McSlackass misses another Welcome Home. TK, when am i getting my new title? Ill try catching you guys for the Minny game.

[D'KanSkinFan]

Agreed.......I am proud of this team.................

Cheer LOUD and PROUD for all of us GEO challenged :point2sky

[Tastes Like Chicken]

Thanks for showing your unwavering support, guys. I am so damn frustrated right now, and dealing with a sick wife and kids to boot.

[Huly]

Thanks for showing your unwavering support, guys. I am so damn frustrated right now, and dealing with a sick wife and kids to boot.

I am sick but I am going to the Welcome Home! :silly:


They played their hearts out in the 2cnd half.

I have a birthday card and a birthday balloon for Gibbs!

[SkinsNatsFan]

Slacky McSlackass misses another Welcome Home. TK, when am i getting my new title? Ill try catching you guys for the Minny game.

At least you have lots of time to post each time you continue your streak of not showing up. :silly:

[pez]

I hope to see a couple of you all tonight...

[mcees4life]

as i always say every sunday..........dress warmly.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Once again....God bless you guys. **** the haters!

[Slacky McSlackAss]

At least you have lots of time to post each time you continue your streak of not showing up. :silly:
LOL, the streak will end next away game. Ill be there for sure, Sendoff and Welcome Home.

[Fan035]

Thanks, but I'll pass...........hopefully it won't be intercepted.

[ldysknzfn1]

WTG guys! And make sure the birthday card says..from ALL of the ES'ers!! Way to represent! Looks like a few debbie downers will have a few days vacation this week. When will folks ever learn? <sigh>

[Betterman]

I have a birthday card and a birthday balloon for Gibbs!

:yikes: Wow, I'm all for supporting the team and welcoming them home but bringing cards and balloons for the coach seems a bit creepy and stalker-like to me. Someone call Redskins security!!!:doh: :doh: :laugh:

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

:yikes: Wow, I'm all for supporting the team and welcoming them home but bringing cards and balloons for the coach seems a bit creepy and stalker-like to me. Someone call Redskins security!!!:doh: :doh: :laugh:

Gibbs is familiar with Huly so I doubt she will come off stalkerish...plus shes kinda hot :silly: ;) :laugh:

[Betterman]

Hell, I'm sure all celebrities are "familiar" with their stalkers....doesn't mean the behavior is normal:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :silly: HAIL SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!! :logo:

[Slacky McSlackAss]

Gibbs is familiar with Huly so I doubt she will come off stalkerish...plus shes kinda hot :silly: ;) :laugh:
Better be careful dude, Huly will kick your ass.

[MontanaRed]

Why would Coach Gibbs think it's creepy to bring cake on his birthday? Honestly, he's just human like the rest of us.
Birthday = cake & balloons.
Besides, Coach liked the gifts - only ones he got for his birthday. He was genuinely appreciative.

MontanaRed:

What YOU all did for Coach was very special~ and I know he appreciated the gesture- he even dedicated a Thanksgiving message to the fans :point2sky .

Don't let someone get the best of a very special and dedicated gesture to Coach.


HAIL :point2sky to all that went to the Welcome Home

[Dblaze1119]

9 showed up and Huly and Pez brought Gibbs a cake. He came off the bus looked suprised by the cake and we sung him Happy Birthday. Without thinking he told us " You all come to my office" and we followed our leader into his " inner sanctum" at Redskins Park. Thanks Coach that was a once in a lifetime experience. He appreciated our support but seemed really dissapointed. I took video for all those who couldnt be there in person and put it on Youtube- check it out here-


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfflsJYOEI

[JMac]

For every moron that makes fun of you supporting our team through thick and thin, you just walked into Gibbs office. Priceless!

[Walking Deadman]

Thanks again local Ashburnians for representing and supporting the team.

HTTR

[docsandy]

Couple pictures of the cake attached. Tried to get one of him blowing out the candles but it happened too fast and I was behind him ;( But it was a definite memorable experience...

[SkinsNatsFan]

There were nine of us. Very cool of Coach Gibbs to let us in to his office.

[MontanaRed]

Hey DBlaze, thanks for the video! That is really cool. "Followed our leader", I like the sound of that. :silly: :laugh:

It's obvious how much family means to him - the pictures are everywhere.

D'K - you & Mike need to move out here!!! (but I know you're here in spirit! Hail!)

[voicekiller]

Wish them well for me...i would go again but i am sick

[arkowi]

6 or 7 showed up and Huly and Pez brought Gibbs a cake. He came off the bus looked suprised by the cake and we sung him Happy Birthday.

Thanks for posting this video...I wanted it to be longer tho:laugh: . That was cool of him to invite yall in to the inner sanctum! Very nicely done gang! Thanks for representing us like that! :applause: :applause:

[jabronijames]

These guys don't need a welcome home. They need to get out there and prove that they're willing to play some football. You can't tell me these guys are serious when they're turning the ball over SIX TIMES in a game. They just proved that they're out for nothing more than a paycheck.

Ever since Daniel Snyder took over, the premodonnas in the league all realized that he was paying big bucks and they all came to Washington in search of the almighty dollar. They're not interested in winning or the fans or any of that. They want to get paid. Plain and simple. Until they start producing, I am not welcoming a single one of these overpaid losers back to DC...I'm fed up!

I agree with this completely. An absolute performance of losers and a totally losing culture here. People satisfied with "keeping the game close," satisfied with "playing till the end" even when the end is another pathetic "L".

I don't want to rain on the parade of the fans. You do whatever makes you happy. I'm upset with Gibbs' performance, but one thing I know: he cares. I don't know that about many other players on this team. The way they came out in the first half absolutely proves it. Many of these guys just slapped the entire Redskin Nation in the face with the way they played. I don't want to welcome people like that home. I want to run them out of town so they'll stop disgracing the emblem and uniform that I love.

[turtle]

That was freakin awesome. I am so jealous.

[crazynomorez]

Thats pretty siick that he let you in his office! Nice cake too =) Thanks for supporting the team! im waaaaay jealous too hahah

You are classless!!!!! All of these players and coaches want to win. You don't have a clue. I would say more but the rules on this board stop me. These nine people wished a wounderful man and coach a happy birthday and welcomed our team back after a very difficult loss.

In my mind and heart you are not a Redskin Fan, again I can't say what I feel you are because it only would bring me down to your level!!!!

[skinfansince63]

[InsaneBoost]

Where exactly are these held, in front of the building, on the road??

[Jumbo]

Well, a couple of latecomers have a week off...another reminder that it pays to scan or even a read a thread before posting in it.

[skinfan2k]

Like we do at Umd for crappy bball games, the best advice for those who don't say anything nice is to


SCAN and LEAVE

[Novus]

Awesome. Maybe one day I can be apart of that.


Quick question: Do any of you get to ask the coach or any players about that particular game? What are the conversations like?

[skinfansince63]

Our boys sucked it up at half time and put on a hell of a show in the second half. They showed heart and I believe that deserves a hearty welcome home...

PEZ, My man you & Huly have so much class, just wish I lived closer to be there with you. The pic's from Gibbs office are classic!! See you at the Bills tailgate, keep the home fires burning!!!!

HTTR!

:applause: :applause: :cheers:

[Chief skin]

Win or lose the Skins are our team in the NFL. Everyone of them knows they blew another game they could have won and are as frustrated as we are.

[skinslove<3]

that's awesome that you guys did all that....sorry that i couldn't make it to the welcome home, i had some family stuff that i had to attend to....

see you all in a couple of weeks for the Giants send off....i hope that ill run into you all at the home games!!!

HAIL.

[featheredX]

Hey Mods/thread starter - its the same thing every week with this thread. I think its great if fans feel they can summon up the courage to go out to the Park and welcome the team back. Personally, if truth be told, I think the players/coaches (if being honest) would probably tell you the last thing they want to have to do is put on a happy face for you after the kind of loss they experienced yesterday, but I understand the intentions are nothing but the best.

Here's the thing though - you KNOW this thread is going to elicit the kind of responses it always elicits. There's a segment of the board that feels when the team performs poorly, they might not deserve the attention. Every week you post this thread, every week people go off on it. And in some cases, are actually getting timeouts just for disagreeing with the idea?

I understand that we don't want good fans getting berated for doing what, at worst, is a kindhearted act. But on the other hand, it really does set a bad precedent to moderate against folks who think these visits are silly/misguided/whatever. I think there are some instances (say when someone well-known dies) where the 'if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all' principle should be enforced. But come on? If members feel the need to express that they think these trips are a little misguided, why is that out of bounds - its not consistent with every other thread on this board on any given moment. I see the 'this isn't the place for that' stated - but seriously, being totally objective, isn't that for the member posting to decide? Is disagreeing with the idea so viscious and savage the threadstarters can't bear it? I imagine they can take it and not have to be put on suicide watch.

And its easily fixed. If the intent (as is stated repeatedly) is to let people know about the 'Welcome Home' events, and thats the only intent, then post it as an announcement or close the thread after the first post. Its an obvious and simple solution. I get tired of reading the same heated back and forth every week and I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

Another easy fix is simply to ignore the thread and not read it if you get that tired of reading it.

[pez]

featheredX - the reason we leave it open is for answering any questions a poster may have directly related to coming to the park. It also is a place for them to post pics, etc if they wish to..

[SkinsNatsFan]

I get tired of reading the same heated back and forth every week and I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

So basically you're saying that we shouldn't be allowed to have a thread where we can discuss getting together at Redskins park after a game, and talk about the experience afterwards, because you don't like reading a heated back and forth in it. My suggestion would be for you to not click on the thread. Isn't it that simple?

Do you have a better feeling about all the other threads that are started after a loss?

The individuals who feel they have to post all their anger after a loss are allowed by the mods to get completely ridiculous everywhere else on the board. Why do you feel that the people who aren't venting their anger and disappointment are the ones who should be restricted here?

[chiplohmillers#1]

If this thread is restricted to positive feedback only then shouldnt it be in a different section. I would like to hear a better argument then the "Another easy fix is simply to ignore the thread and not read it if you get that tired of reading it" response. Thats just a weak argument.

[D'KanSkinFan]

Hey DBlaze, thanks for the video! That is really cool. "Followed our leader", I like the sound of that. :silly: :laugh:

It's obvious how much family means to him - the pictures are everywhere.

D'K - you & Mike need to move out here!!! (but I know you're here in spirit! Hail!)

MontanaRed:

You know if we ever moved out there - Mike and I know we would have a special group of people as friends - AND the BEST TEAM and COACHES to cheer for;); but since we aren't "there"- you're right, we are THERE in spirit;)

I can tell everyone that is a naysayer or questions the actions of these people- until you have EXPERIENCED the hospitality of these great people, you have absolutely "no" understanding of their dedication and commitment to making locals and non-Maryland, Virginia, DC ites, etc., feel more at home and WELCOME to be a part of their group of supporters of the Washington Redskins Extreme Fans "association".

This group never questions anyone's dedication - they "accept" you with open arms and assist you with whatever questions or concerns you may have- and they are interested in YOU as a person. We feel blessed to have meet these people and will NEVER, NEVER, forget that if we need a "family" (not including our immediate family) - we have found an extremely IMPORTANT extended family:cheers: in this group.

Players and coaches change, but this group will ALWAYS be there - representin' the fan base of the Washington Redskins - can't ask for any more than that, now can we?;)

(This also includes Blondie, PCS and TK - good people, but geo challenged like us- I "think" TK is geo challenged, if not - still a good person;) )

I have only PM'd people, but only ONE was rude "not a Redskin fan" by the way:D

[brianm23]

I personally wouldn't welcome a team home that played well beyond their potential, but that's just me. The way I view it is rewarding a child for doing something wrong. The support will be shown the next weekend when fans show up, so being there for when they lay a goose egg isn't necessary for me.

That said, I commend any and everybody that does go out there to support them, and I thought it was cool as hell that Joe Gibbs brought you guys into his office. As much as I don't like him as a coach right about now, I give the guy credit for being a very likeable individual. He might not have my blessing, but he has my respect.
