skinsfan69 10-29-2007, 02:50 PM I'm not advocating playing dirty or giving out cheap shots... but if I were a coach and the other team was running it up, I would look the other way and tell my guys to do what they gotta do. And if I was a player in that situation I would have no problem sticking Brady right in the chest and pile driving him to the turf, late or not.
Or you could do your job, have some pride and stop them like you are paid to do.

That would be doing your job. When someone is showing you up, it's your job to let them know that it's not ok.
Chief X_Phackter 10-29-2007, 02:55 PM I have no problem with anything the Pats did, except the winning part.
Really, most people on here (myself included) have been calling for Gibbs to step on the necks of our opponents, put them away in the second half, etc. If we have the chance to, I would hope Gibbs does just that.
We got beat down bad by a much better team on Sunday...that should show you just how far we have to go. Yeah, we're a decent team in the grand scheme of things in the NFL (NFC at least), but we're nowhere near where we need to be to compete for the crown.
mheisig 10-29-2007, 02:57 PM I could care less what you think.
Believe me, the feeling is mutual. And it extends well beyond this thread.
In other news, the Redskins lost yesterday. Back to football.

Honestly Matty,
Heartbreaking though to watch, they did us a favor. They showed us how it really is to play a top flight team. Where we are in the pecking order. How many weakness's we have a what they are.
irish 10-29-2007, 02:59 PM And my question is, why didn't any of the Skins take it on themselves to do that yesterday? Sam Huff would have. Dexter Manley and Wilbur Marshall would have.
What's different with this team? - tho I bet Sean Taylor would have rocked Brady or Moss if given the nod.
Huff would have laid Brady out with a clean hit before the whistle. This team just seems to have no fire. Remember when the Cowboys dragged Jeff George around the stadium and no Redskin came to his rescue? I doubt that would have happened in the old days (no matter if they liked the guy or not, he was a teammate) but for some reason DS owned Skins just dont have that kind of competitive fire.

So your saying that hitting the QB late is OK.

I understand what your saying. But in the end, it's our job to stop them from scoring and if you asked most of the players that got beat down yesterday they would probably agree with me. Even our coaches are saying we needed to stop them.
Planting Brady in the ground is weak and that would make us look even worse than we already looked. That would make us look like sore losers.
#56fanatic 10-29-2007, 03:00 PM So in baseball a 5 point lead is enough to play safe? I've seen allot of teams score more than 5 points in an inning and would not want my team to sit on a five point lead.
does everything have to be a disagreement? you get my point. If we were up 5 runs in the 8th or 9th, we certainly weren't playing the same way we did in the early innings. if you have ever played meaningful baseball then you know being up 5 runs in the 8th or 9th, or maybe 8 runs if you want more, you dont steal bases, show up pitchers, its one of those unwritten rules. Its amazing how different peoples perception of playing the right way has changed over the years. I guess thats one of those generation things from a previous thread.

There's a difference between doing your job and playing dirty. What you are advocating (after you said you don't advocate it) is playing dirty. Might as well just take your blanky, put your head down, and cry all the way home because what you are talking about doing is just as childish.
As it's been said throughout this thread. If you don't like them running up the score, stop them. If you can't stop them, then you need to get better. That's it. No cheapshots on the QB because your frustrated, while the coach looks the other way...that's petty childish shit.
