I love my skins, but explain to me how I'm a pansy for picking Dallas to win??

Like Daseal says, does not having unrelenting optimism make me less of a fan??

Because on any given day in football any team can win a game. Just look at college football this year or the year that Dallas had only one win against us and we won the SB. I have never gone into a game or watched a game that I thought there was no chance of winning. It happens every day that a underdog wins and so there is always hope. I never seen so many SKins fans throwing in the towel to of all teams Dallas. We saw it again last night that a unranked team Arizona beat Oregon I beat Arizona always thought they had a chance to win that game. Is it a up hill battle? Yes, but there is always the chance for the win an until its over I'm not throwing in the towel. So if you give up before the game ever starts yes you are a panzy and you will lose every time.

College football and NFL football are 2 totally different levels. But NFL-wise, I mean, what are the chances of the Dolphins beating the Pats? Yeah they MIGHT. But they probably WONT. Come on down from that pedestal.

Nothings wrong with drinking the kool-aid but then there's losing touch with reality and the reality is, is that injuries are killing us and Dallas is on a roll. Of course we MIGHT win, and I hope to hell we do, but considering the way we're playing lately, the 2nd half letdowns, the injuries and the inconsistency; We probably won't.

What the pedestal that says we have a chance to win any given Sunday. OK college is different and in the NFL always the best team wins every game.

The best teams DO tend to win every game. Granted that average teams do come around and beat the best teams but it's only because the average teams are working on all cylinders for that one game. Can you say with the killer injuries we have faced over the past 8 weeks that we're working on all cylinders? No. I'm not saying we're not going to win or that we're incapable of winning the game. We have pulled Hail Mary's out our ass before and I know we can do it again, but the odds are stacked against us. The kool-aid drinkers see these odds and throws them out the window. The average schmo like me, that only drinks the kool-aid every now and then, sees the odds, the injuries, the 2nd half meltdowns and goes, "Oh shit."

The fact of the matter is, we have a very slim chance of winning. Whilst the chance is always there, it's just a matter of are we going to seize it? Lately that answer is no and we've played very mediocre teams (Minus the Pats). Against a very strong Cowboys team that chance becomes even slimmer.

I don't think how people feel about the odds of us winning even matters around here. It's all for shits and giggles. I don't think anyone here would even bother trying to predict odds if they didn't bleed burgandy and gold. Isn't that what matters at the end of the day anyway?

If player had that that attitude they would never win. Yes odds are against us but until we lose the game I have all the faith that we can win. I do not even like Kool Aid I just believe that a positive attitude beats a negative attitude everytime.

They're just predictions man. That's all. My prediction is Dallas 28-20. There are a few people who don't think we have a chance. Sure underdogs win, but this team hasn't done much to give us confidence with the NE showing and the games we've given away.

You say "until it's over I'm not throwing in the towel." Okay, so predicting we're going to lose is throwing in the towel? So we should all just say, "hey, I'm a skins fan, so regardless of what state my team is in, hell yeah we're beating Dallas." ??

Just because I think Dallas will pull out a win doesn't mean I think we don't have a chance. I just think Dallas has a better chance.

Here here for rationality.

Everyone needs to put down the friggin kool aid and have a friggin beer.

I also think they have a better chance to win but I would never pick them to win. If you pick them to win then you pick us to lose and yes you have thrown in the towel if you pick us to lose.

Oregon also lost one of their key players (QB Dixon) to a season-ending injury.

This year, that only happens to the Redskins.

Cowchips win by the way, 38-16.

It's gonna be like Custer at Little Big Horn. Except this time, the Indians will be the ones to get massacred.
