D.C. Sports Bog: Media Responses to the Skins Loss

[Paintrain]

Funny how a lot of posters on this board echo the media's over-reaction to one loss yet continually gripe about 'no respect from the media'. It's also funny how the Giants coverage was far more complimentary that we actually played a tough game against them vs. our coverage of a disaster in the Meadowlands.

Nice perspective across the board.

I think it's one of those "I can talk bad about them but you can't" type of things. Personally I'm tired of hearing all the negative s@#t about the team from our own people. Did anyone think we were going to win all our games this year? One game and we're suppose to have everything down pat huh? Give the coaches time to do what they do. Ya'll complain when Snyder jumps the gun and gets rid of people before they have a chance. Is'nt that what's happening on these boards? Seems to me a lot of people want a messiah, not a football coach. Give the guy a chance to coach. Try looking for positives and you might see some. Any idiot with a pair of eyes can point out mistakes. Now if you're not smart enough to fix them, you've got a problem. Lets see what he does before we kick him out of town and hire yet another coach. Sometimes it feels like I'm on a cowgirls board.

I think people are completely focused on on the first couple of plays when the Giants' D overwhelmed the o-line and JC. Yet they forget that our defense held the Giants to 16 pts. even after being on the field for a lot of time b/c of our offense's 3 and outs. I think we have a lot of work to do, but this was not a blowout whatsoever. I think there's room for growth and if our offense plays as they did at the end of the first half, we could be a much better team.

One thing I remember from Blaches Chicago days is that the defense was frequently described as bend don't break. I think we saw a lot of bending this past Thursday but not a whole lot of breaking. With that said I am scared how lost Zorn looked this past Thursday. I guess I'm getting ready to call for the Chin.
