[quote=Hog1;946579].......Not True
At least not universally.[/quote]

I would beg to differ,as long as the Skins win ,fans don't care if they have the #1 offense or the #32

Re: Around the NFL...Week 4 Style
 

Any fan with.....any football acumen understands the relationship between team building and a long term winning team. You have to build the squad before any long term success can be seen. The success of the offense of late suggests it may be turning the corner, or at least making significant progress.
Any knowledgeable fan understands this. We have many such fans here on the WP. To suggest that this fact has no meaning to a "Fan" is....wrong.

We are to late to add logic to this thread. No more

[QUOTE=Giantone;946574]Fans don't care Matty,it's the wins and loss's they look at.[/QUOTE]

Giants fans wanted eli and tc run out of town during your third sb run a few years ago and they were booing the hell out of the team at half time of the dallas game this year at your home opening sb 4 win / party! Guess us skins fans arent the only ones that want wins. Hell if we win two championships during the next four years i promise i wont boo during the opening game the following year. Lol
Not saying you were one of them giantone but there were thousands of them.

[QUOTE=imaskin4life;946537]Are the concerns with wilson related to the concussion symptoms from week 2 or something new?[/QUOTE]

I heard he got banged up during the bengals game and was limited in practice this week. Thought i heard that on espn
Cant find anything about it now. I guess i misheard or was misinformed. Sorry. Little out of the skins news alerts up here in jersey.

[quote=skinsfaninok;946566]I don't see much changing from our offense I think we will finish in the top ten in yards and scoring this year.[/quote]

As long as RG3 is healthy, absolutely!

First ,no they didn't want Eli or Coughlin run out of town so you know not of what you speak,the media starts that not the fans.I will say when the Giants don't play well the fans let them know it,from your post I guess we should sit back and be quiet,what you also "forgot to say" ...is when they win and play well Giant fans can be the best,as with any team.

Didn't say no meaning or that fans don't understand it,what I'm saying is at the end of the day, ....season, the fans main concern is wins and loss's.

P.S.

...and so there is no misundersdtanding, by fans I mean fans of all the teams.

Re: Around the NFL...Week 4 Style
 

[quote=SmootSmack;946470]People hold onto this myth that all these teams bring in a new coach, jump instantly from "worst to first" and sustain it. That's rarely ever true. It often takes years of building up the roster and often the staff that does the leg work isn't around to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Three years ago Redskins fans complained we had no young talent at QB, no youth or depth at OL, no franchise QB, slow and old defensive line, no legit #1 WR, no draft picks.

We've got those things. And we should benefit long term from these moves. But since they aren't all Pro Bowlers an we're not coming off an NFC championship I guess they're all losers[/quote]The problem is that the Redskins really don't have these things now, especially draft picks. Our no. 1 receiver thus far has been Aldrick Robinson. Our defensive line is average and stocked with players who have been around 6 to 7 years. Our offensive line doesn't even have enough depth to start NFL quality players at the tackle position.

To show for the limited draft picks over the next two drafts, we have RG3. And Kirk Cousins. And Alfred Morris. That's it.

The idea that we're somehow in better long term position because of this variation of a below average football team instead of the last four variations is just total bunk. You can't just assume that the future justifies the present. Go off what the tape and the numbers tell you instead of blind faith.

??

So were are missing 2 draft picks out of the next two years and all of a sudden we are "don't have these things"??

Amazing.

Gettis, McRib, Compton, Crawford? Already given up on these guys?

If that continues with the real refs I will agree. As of now, nothing those scabs did counts as much of anything. When a large amount of the penalties and cheap shots were either never called or blatantly miscalled, there is a problem with producing those numbers and acting like they are supposed to mean something.
