Just curious......after the first two games last year, what was the percentage chance they were giving the Chargers to make the playoffs? And what was the percentage chance all the "experts" were giving the Chiefs to still go deep into the playoffs?

Seriously guys, don't even bother paying attention to idiots like this guy that wrote this article. Use it as fuel to get pissed? Sure, ok. But please don't put any stock in anything these "experts" and journalists and analysts say.

As for the Seahawks: Aren't they like one of the worst road teams in the NFL over the past couple years? I'm really not that worried about them.

i agree with daseal's first post. imo, it goes like this: more points = more respect.

Longtimefan · 09-28-2005, 08:17 PM

We will continue to get bad pub (for all it's worth) until we start winning football games with authority, and not just getting by. All these so called experts are judging us as a team that only averages 12 points a game and I guess they just can't see us continuing to win that way, and I guess most fans can't either.

I happen to think we're going to win every game we play, love being the underdog, and also love playing the best competition with their best players available. When we have a winning record under these circumstances we can feel good that we're where we are because we will have earned it.

Let the critics continue to be critical, and let us continue to win games and we'll see who has the last laugh. "Winning" is the cure-all, because when we keep winning there won't be a lot of negative going on.

we will go to play offs our
offense will catch with our
defense and a 10-6 record will
propel us to play offs

I'd say more wins = more respect

illdefined · 09-29-2005, 08:43 AM

media wise i think it's both. how many points in those wins. if we scored 30pts a game even with just two wins the Skins would be considered a 'force'. winning close games in the low scoring fashion we've won them just makes us a question mark to them. media won't even look in our direction unless we score some square TDs, but again why do people care what Lenny, Peter King, Dr.Z or any of these guys think?

ALLREDSKIN · 09-29-2005, 08:53 AM

The bottom line in all this is that we are 2-0 right now.

No poll or Press can take that away.

We have to cheer hard and make it 3-0 by Sunday night.
Don't let the Hawks get off one play in peace.
Don't even let them kick an extra point in peace.

Go Skins.

Picture George Allen and say this: "95,000 fans together can't lose."
Keep repeating it. If you can't say it out loud ... think it.
Don't think about anything else. I love you all ... ALLREDSKIN.

VTSkins897 · 09-29-2005, 09:22 AM

i think a 30% chance of going to the playoffs this early in the season is about right. all we can do is wait it out and hope the offense does catch up to the d.

i think that more points = more wins and to hell with the respect of pasta, dr. z, and the rest of the bastards. if teams don't respect us that's gonna make it worse on them when we stomp em.

Here's the money quote...

"Washington Redskins (2-0) -- The Redskins' defense is nasty. But I'd be surprised if the offense ended the season ranked any higher than 26th. Their schedule gets tough in a hurry, with trips to Denver and Kansas City looming. And put down Washington's next game against Dallas as a loss. Chance They'll Make Playoffs: 30 percent"

I will admit that we are not on the same level as Indy, but a 30 percent chance?!?!?! No respect I tell you.

The worst part is his Dallas quip. He forgets that we beat them IN DALLAS.

Your Thoughts?

Well, I guess we exceeded this guy's expectations, LOL

"Living well is the best revenge."

Fact is, the Skins exceeded everybody's expectations, so I understand early season skepticism. Before game one, I expected 8-8. After Dallas #1, I was thinking 9-7, maybe 10-6 without the playoffs. As for those early comments? Fuhgetaboutit. Making the playoffs is the best revenge.
