I give up
LOL
Matty, some people want to just crap on things for the sheer purpose of crapping on them.. It's a shame isn't it?

Maybe it's just me, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what Patten can do. I think he, and the other Patriots receivers, don't get enough credit because it's all about Tom Brady there. But I really think that Patten is going to prove a lot of doubters wrong this year....Hands off! I'm taking Patten in the $$ League!
i've said it before and i'll say it again, "don't be surprised if patten leads the team in receptions this year".
patten is a very underrated wr, he has great powers
and like uncle ben told peter parker.....with great powers comes great responsibilities.

I think it all comes down to Snyder. He expects too much. He wants to Win NOW!!! The Skins need to take the next few years to rebuild. Set themselves up for the future. This win now strategy won't work.
so ........you want the skins to rebuild, not overspend on big name free agents, like in past years ?

That's why I've been shocked that the media said we had a bad offseason. We had an a-typical offseason, but not a bad one.

How many pro bowls there? Maybe I didn't explain it well, but I don't mean signing free agents, I'm saying making attempts to improve significantly through free agency. [QUOTE]
so............your saying you want the skins to, instead of making conservative moves and building through the draft, do like they've been doing and keep trying to "win now" with big, splashy free agent signings ?

I think alot of the media is just looking at the "juicy" stories like the Taylor incodent, and the Arrington comments, the Coles situation. We had basically the offseason that the media has been telling us we should have had the past five years. Very low key, get some little signings in. Personally, this offseason was exactly what I wanted for the team itself(outside of the Coles situation). I'm getting very excited for the season.

I agree. Honestly, I CAN'T even wait for pre-season games. Just SOMETHING to see the Redskins playing.

i wasn't particularly happy about the way the offseason went, although i was happy we didn't go on a spending spree. i just hope that everything works out eventually, and after a huge pro bowl season earning defensive mvp lavar realizes he loves washington and wants to stay here forever.

Great list Matty! The win total might be somewhere between 8-10, however!
