Putting Things in Perspective

Hey, I am playing nice. I was nice enough to make him feel somewhat important by me replying to not only one, but three of his posts!

I just think it's funny when fans will jump at the chance to bash the team, when knowing the same fans will be cheering for the team when they start winning. What's that smell? Oh...that fair weather fairy dust again! LOL

LOL yeah, I dont have any hard feelings, but, you know what... Clinton Portis didn't gain very much yards, and his YPC were'nt all that high, in this scrimmage. Forget what he's done in the past, that doesn't fit into the scope of my argument, and that's all I really want to do. Hell I wish we'd cut him too...


What...that was circumstancial?? You mean circumstances surrounding a situation can alter the factual outcome of the situation?? Nooo. Really??

Oh, it was only a preseason game... I see. Maybe I shouldn't read that much into it after all.:frusty:



BTW, Matty, I'm begging you to designate a sarcasm font. Italics are okay, but something patriotic would be nice. lol.

try to play nice guys... and don't run with scissors.


LOUD NOISES!!!!







I love lamp.:)

Just to put things in perspective...

1. Skinsguy: Look back at the number of posts and my involvement at this site through last season, and then tell me how or why a "fair-weather fan" would spend any amount of time paying attention to or writing posts about a struggling team heading for a 6-10 record. According to the sentiments I've read, if one dares to criticize the performance of Redskin players after a 28-10 loss, that automatically means one is engaging in "hyper-analysis" or is a "fair weather fan". Interesting.

2. Matty: I do not, nor have I ever expected Patrick Ramsey to magically transform into Peyton Manning. Trust me guys, I wouldn't expect 49 touchdown passes from Patrick Ramsey over the course of 5 years, much less one season. I do however, count on a QB of Ramsey's apparent talent to move the ball rather effortlessly against Carolina Panther second teamers in the first preseason game. But hey, judging from what I've read here recently, I was asking WAY too much.

3. Canthetuna: Look man, no hard feelings OK? You and I want the same thing -- for our team, the Redskins, to kick ass and permanently leave the doldrums of mediocrity of which this team has spent the last 12 years. I guess I'm just a little more skeptical after, yes I know, one preseason game. And again, I'm not calling for Ramsey to be traded, cut, demoted or have him strung up by his testicles and caned. He deserves the rest of the preseason and at least 4 to 5 games into the regular season before he gets pulled. One thing you and I can both agree on, I think, is that we need to see some improvement tomorrow night against the Bengals. That's all.

Peace, my brothers.

Sir, those who are hellbent on excusing Ramsey against Carolina only need to remove one thing from their asses -- their heads.

I'm not really sure what we're excusing him from. He played "aight". That's how we can best describe it. Since he didn't throw for 4 TD passes we're supposed to go into emergency mode. I'm sure many of us were a little perturbed to see him throw that INT and miss a couple passes. But hey, that's what preseason is for, working out kinks.

We were running a plain vanilla offense while running hardly any running plays allowing the linebackers to cover rather than play the run.

C'mon guys lets hug it out....... :grouphug:

Well, I don't know I'd go that far in cutting Portis..I personally don't see any sense in doing such, but I digress.

I just think after the preseason, we might have a little better assessment on the regular season. Then again, Spurrier had a winning record in the preseason...so judging the team by what it does in the preseason isn't very accurate.

You have 384 posts. WhoopTie freakin dah! According to the sentiments I've read, if one dares to say anything postive about the team after they lose a preseason game, then they're accused of having their heads up their asses. I was just as disappointed as everybody else here about the overall performance from the game. I thought the first team offense was disappointing! But dare I say anything positive about our offensive line not giving up a sack, Nemo playing well, Brunell playing well, etc.... suddenly I'm wearing rose colored glasses because I happened to take away a few positive things from a preseason game. Heck, when Gibbs was here the first time during our glory years, we hardly (if ever) had a winning preseason....IT JUST DIDN'T MATTER!

You're preaching to the choir lol. You have to read the whole thread. I wasn't actually saying cut portis. I'm not quite sure by your response that you understood that?

Ok. You just really confused me by your first paragraph of your last post. I guess it was just sarcasm. But, I now know where you are coming from! :pi_lightb

Yeah, I've read the whole thread...I authored it, remember? LOL ;) This is a recap of the whole thread.

Skinsguy: "I think there were a few things that happened in the first preseason game that we can look forward to. There were alot of positives and negatives (actual quote from the first post.)"

Rebuttal: Skinsguy, how dare you say anything positive about this team? Get your head out of your ass and bash the team like real Redskins fans do. :biggthump
