Giants Game Negatives

We might be overreacting these days. Were just a shitty team. We need to draft first round defense and rebuild. Period. We have our backup front and center. Lost our top cb for the season with the young guys still learning. Fuck the beer who cares.

Why in the hell is Tyler Polumbus still in a Redskins uniform? After he gave up four sacks to Justin Tuck he should have been replaced because of that alone.....he was overwhelmed by the NYG left end. They need to cut him.....Morgan Moses could not have done a worse job of protection....they should have played Mosworse job.

I, as many skins fans, simply want a winning team, and not merely for a 7 game stretch at the end of a season. I too was drinking the Kool-Aid when RGIII was drafted because the hype was so high, but I don't think we can make excuses for why he hasn't progressed the way he should have by now. Perhaps the reason why he ran the offense he did in college is because that is all he is capable of doing. He is limited because he just doesn't have the ability to do the tangibles that all the greats do. If you really look close, and forget the hype for a minute or two, it becomes quite clear that RGIII is another great example of an amazing college quarterback without the ability to truly transition into the NFL. Watch his feet in the pocket, and see how he misses his reads. I don't think he wants to have happy feet, it just comes second nature to him and it is his only way of protecting himself as a result of his inability to read defenses and get the ball out fast. His 1st year, in my opinion, was a fluke due to the offensive scheme being tailored around him and having the most underrated running back in the NFL in Alfred Morris tote the ball. Heck, Kirk came in and won a game on the road, true it was against Cleveland, but he did it. And we can't forget that he came in, under pressure, and finished the job against Baltimore. I am not saying Kirk is where he needs to be yet, but let's try to forget, for one second that he was just a 4th round pick and didn't win a Heisman, and take a look at the fundamentals he possesses. If we do that, I don't know how we can't come to the conclusion that Kirk has a much higher ceiling in this league. A running quarterback without the ability to stay healthy, as well as the inability to make the reads and get the ball out on time, lacking to maximize the players ability around him, is not going to make it in this league. I truly hope RGIII, if he gets the opportunity again, proves me wrong, but I just don't see it happening for the long term.
Seriously enough of the RG3 bashing, sorry that your bubble got burst and you saw the real Kirk Cousins 4 INTs and a strip sack fumble, so much for the 'pocket awareness'. Any real Redskin fan knows there is much more to be concerned about than Cousins vs. Griffin.

The sad part is that there are some decent pieces in place, but by the time the sorry no account defense is fixed those pieces will be beyond their foootball prime.

Then put your money where your mouth is and boycott the NFL, or don't respond to my horrific and insensitive posts... To call me out for whatever reason you think on a random internet website is beyond ridiculous...

This is not some random internet site, this is The Warpath, my online home for Redskins discussion for the past years. So don't be too surprised that folks get upset when you to spew your insensitive BS in our home. Perhaps it was just an unfortunate analogy in the first place, but your continued attempts to defend or explain the indefensible seems to show who you are...

I'm done with this nonsense, you should be too.

I don't drink Bud but it's shelf life is 90/120 days (I worked for them for 5 years )

Since you worked for them, then you must know enough about beer to know that it doesn't go bad that fast, especially not the mild pilsner type that Bud makes. The Bud expiration date is and has been a marketing ruse to sell more beer.

If beer went bad that quickly, there'd be more beers with expiration dates, just like milk.

This is dumb, 3 months old is expired? Please. Beer, even crappy watery pisswater wouldn't drink it if you paid me mass-produced beers like Budweiser, do not expire until maybe after 2 years. Unless, of course, it gets warm and then chilled again. Which I admit, is almost guaranteed to be the case, but I would bet that no venue keeps their bottled beers chilled round the clock. Do you think they toss the extras at the end of an event? Why pay $12 (or whatever it is now) for crap beer anyways, real beer doesn't even cost that much. No one would ever tell the difference if there wasn't a FIFA World Cup logo on it.

Beer Snob Rant Over . . . Sorry for that.

I was reading a book about the history of beer written by a former brew master for whom I cannot remember. However in the book he adamantly claims the warming and chilling of beer is an "old beer drinkers tale" I still cannot bring myself to buy or drink beer that I know has been recooled though personally.

Many of the craft brews sold in Maryland do either have a sell by or a bottled date. I would say the fundamental difference is that expired milk is a health issue and expired beer is not.

True. Many craft brews have flavors which may degrade over time, hence the "bottled" dates, which are not the same as "expiration" dates. Since Bud has no flavor to degrade to begin with, this is not an issue for it. Plus, Bud's 120 days is a ridiculously short period of time for beer. Beer has alcohol; it keeps.

But comparing Bud to craft beer is not fair. If we compare it to its peers like Miller, we see the others don't have expiration dates. Hence my comparison to milk, which as you state is not a safety issue with beer. But if beer really did go bad as Bud says, then its peer beers would also have expirations.

Beer doesn't expire after 3 months. As others have said the "freshness date" thing is just a marketing ploy. It's more accurate to say it's best to drink it by the 3 month date, that's when it's most fresh is all. It's probably fine for another 3 months after the date before it starts to turn from shitty beer to even shittier beer.

Totally wives tale. Sunlight is the destroy of beer.
