Where is the negativity???

[skinsguy]

I swear, when we lose, this is the busiest site on the web! When we win, 80% of the forum members disappear. Where are all those doubting, pessimistic, realists? I'm beginning to think they actually do enjoy misery!

Anyways, I thought this team played alot better this week - naturally since we won! However, there are things that concern me. I wasn't particularly impressed with Mark Brunell in the first half. He certainly started off quite cold! It was a good thing that our running game was so effective!

As much as I HATE Brian Baldinger, I found myself agreeing with him about our lack of aggressive offense toward the end of the half! We certainly had time to move down the field and at least get into field goal range. I was kind of scratching my head on that last series of the first half. WOW....guess some of those pessimistic realists were wrong about me seeing no fault in Brunell and Gibbs!

So here are the positives from this week:

1. We didn't collaspe in the fourth quarter.
2. We didn't turn the ball over.
3. We got pressure on the QB.
4. We ran the ball effectively.
5. We scored 24 points.
6. Our defense only allowed 7 points.
7. Our kick coverage continues to get better.

Negatives from this week:

1. Brunell is losing his accuracy a bit.
2. Brunell nearly gave up the ball for a TD the other way.
3. Taylor Jacobs was non-existent.
4. Poor playcalling toward the end of the first half.
5. John Hall isn't the John Hall we got from the Jets anymore.
6. We seem to have at least one personal foul called on us every game.
7. We still committed more penalities than what I am comfortable with.
8. Offensive line needs to be more consistant with solid run blocking.

Gee, a blind optimist listing more negatives than positives! Does that mean I'm a realist?

So to show my true colors, I'm going to continue to say that I am not predicting anymore scores for the rest of the season. When asked, I'm just going to say, "I just want the Redskins to win the game!" I think we have a great shot at beating Arizona and please - for Pete's sake WE HAVE TO BEAT THE DALLAS COWBOYS! I have had it with these Cowturd fans jawing with me on another forum board. They kept whinning about not getting to watch Cowboy games in this area (because they'd rather whine than to find some other means to get the game on tv.)
