SI's Banks: "The Worst 3-0 Team Ever"

I mean the game would have been over had it not been for a blocked field goal and that late INT.

Under the radar is where I'd like to be all season. I hope when were 12-4 or 13-3 or something like that we're the "worst x-x team ever". This aint college so opinions don't mean shit.

But for the sake of argument. How does beating two "playoff teams" makes us the "worst 3-0 team ever" ?

Pfffffffttt. I fart in his general direction.

The main reason I'm pissed about this is because he said this after we've played only 3 games?! Give me an f-ing break. I mean damn, they'll take any chance they can get to take a shot at us. 3-0 teams happen every year and I've NEVER heard anything like that before. I thought that winning the close ones was what makes you a good team.

If we're the worst undefeated team in the league, what does that make the teams who've lost to us?

I've said this so many times in this forum, but I'll say it again. Sports Illustrated has become the McRag of sports journals. I lost all respect for the magazine and any of its writers (with the possible exception of King) years ago when they gave unequivocal support to Allen Iverson after his little bowling lane brawl. Later they printed 14 retractions from their story but buried it in fine print in the middle of the magazine. The magazine has no integrity and less talent. We should not even be discussing their opinion. Give me an analyst who really knows football that says this about Washington and I'll get upset. But SI? I'm feeling that gaseous feeling welling up again.

Seems to me there are so very few analysts that actually know what they are talking about these days. Either they're commentary is driven by ratings or showmanship, i.e. Michael Irvin, or they have some biasis against certain teams, i.e. Peter King.

One guy I'm starting to like a little is Troy Aikman, even though he's more of a commentator. He doesn't get carried away with shit.

I will bet my first born, my nuts, my two dogs, even my beloved 1979 Les Paul that this parasite lost MONEY on that game!!!:laughing2

Here's the deal--within 12 hours of the early game finals I am reading writers who are commenting on games as though they have watched and dissected each and every one. Do the math...13 Sunday games x 2 hours each (with immediate editing) is 26 hours just to watch the games, let alone break each performance down and write about them. [Even Dr. Z admitted that he did not watch the Dallas game until later, and only THEN did he change his opinion about the Skins] Just give me a homer, the box scores and highlights and I'll write my own opinions. Why do you think I hang out in this forum anyway? :cheers

At the end of preseason I posted that the thing that had me most impressed was the steady improvement by the Skins all through preseason. This has carried over in the regular season and the team is getting better by the week. You can SEE it....IF you watch the games. And yet the ONLY analyst I've heard comment on this fact is Jimmy Johnson on the FOX pregame show. I'm guessing that he actually earns his money.

So let Don Banks meet his little deadline. Nobody will care anyway if we have January tickets to Detroit.

But it's so frustrating. Especially since they are just waiting for the Skins to lose so they can pick us apart and validate their bullshit. The only reason I watch the pregame shows anymore is to kill the anxious moments leading up to kick-off.

You're right on as far as progress goes. Game 1, we score 9 points, Game 2,
14 points, and Game 3, 20 points. You can slice it anyway you want but that's improvement!

Also to be fair, even Terry Bradshaw has given us some props.
