What do you expect in our Week 5, Skins vs. Panthers matchup

[CRedskinsRule]

Skinny, maybe I will go back and get some of the absurd Hater posts and collect them. Like someone said the Panthers would run all over us. They didn't. Both offenses struggled. But the reality is what it is, we lost, and looked bad doing it. They won and looked pretty bad doing that. There are extremes on both sides of the hater/kool-aid divide, and I am generally on the kool-aid extreme. Let me ask you though: why put one fans nose in it when we all simply want the Skins to be back to a successful team?

Because he made me believe that we were going to win and he told me to Trust him.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt even though I knew full well that we don't have the facilities to do so. I took this guys blind hope over common sense and look what happens.

I just hope that doesn't happen to other Skins fans. Also I'd like people to be accountable for what they predict and not just swinging hope to the masses when it's obvious there was none.

Dude, its a prediction, and there's a reason most of us AREN'T picking on ESPN or something; we are biased. Being fans, we can see the talent and the hope and can see us winning. I predicted a win.

Just a guess, PREDICTION.......

I'm just letting all these fans know...take your Skins glasses off if you want to be taken seriously or make it seem like you know anything about football.

I'm tired of all these people operating off of their blind hope and we need fans to start thinking more judiciously when it comes to this team.

If there is one thing that this team needs right now it is a knowledgeable fan who can let Skins managment know that the product on the field is not compentent, nor is the managment structure.

Guess what, this week people are gonna predict a Skins win over the Chiefs. Crazy I know. Why is predicting/hoping for a win such a crime? Part of being a fan involves having some hope every week.

If this was a prediction site or a handicapping website than predict all you want...shame on me for entertaining that at that point.


Being that this site is for the knowledgeable fan I would expect that the people I'm talking to understand football, the NFL and how competitive football is played. Making a prediction that has no basis in real life factors is just foolish.


I don't listen to a weatherman because he has a map behind him. It's because he knows what the hell he is saying.

Save predictions for Nostradamus if you're not an informed fan.

Just because not everyone shares in your doom and gloom attitude it doesn't make them any less knowledgeable. Sounds like you're ticked because you put your faith in some stranger's prediction on a internet message board, (why I'm still not sure), but honestly you're sounding and acting like this:

Ok, I'll predict we lose every game here on out and all our starters will get injured....do you take me seriously now?

We're not good right now, we all know that. But it's not going to stop people from rooting for the Redskins and believing they can win. You're a genius for telling us all how stupid we all are for having some hope. Kind of like how much of a genius you were when you told us all we would start the year 1-4.

Based on most of your posts (Snyder doesn't care about beating the Cowboys because he and Jerry Jones are friends), you're probably the last person who should call out people for not knowing anything about football.

You always love mixing it up.

I suppose you feel you have more football intuition because you're a moderator for an unofficial redskins message board.

Feel free to personally paraphrase out of context what I've previously posted. I fully stand by what I post on here and am not ashamed of it:

The Warpath

Look for yourself, most of what I post is accurate.

I have a memory too...I remember you wanting to trade high draft picks for Chad Johnson. If that is some kind of special moderator inituition than I don't want it. If I'm the last person to call someone out then you're sure as hell not the first.

I don't even know where to begin with this. I guess I'll just address the last point. Yes, I was in support of trading a first rounder and a conditional 3rd (and no more than that) for Chad Johnson. I believe what I had said then was I thought he was worth trading for so long as it didn't involve more than one first rounder and it didn't impede our ability to make other moves. I also thought London Fletcher was a mistake. But I was wrong. I thought the Redskins would beat the Panthers...and I was wrong there too.

I've been wrong before multiple times, you've been wrong, Matty's been wrong, 53Fan's been wrong...and so on. It happens.

As for that whole moderator intuition nonsense...well it's just nonsense. I don't think being a moderator on here makes me any more knowledgeable than any non-moderator on here-SS33, GTripp, Schneed, 70Chip, saden as some examples.

Anyhow, perhaps I was a bit harsh in my original post to you because I thought it was kind of ridiculous of you to make a big deal out of warpaint's prediction. Like you had money riding on the game or something based on his prediction.

Anyway, I apologize, think you do contribute as a valuable member of this board and hope we can just move forward. Didn't mean to go all CP on you...Skinny Sellers

Is that supposed to be an insult? Because that's pretty laughable. Being a moderator has nothing to do with having an opinion. And believe me there's nothing great about being the official Redskins message board. There's a reason why alot of the original mods and creators have gone off and started up a new "unofficial" board.

Tee....I have supported you alot but this is some of the biggest BS I have ever heard. That guy didn't make you believe a damn thing. You know it and I know it. It's easy to sit back and predict the worse. Thankfully everyone doesn't work that way. Repeating that there is a problem over and over doesn't make someone a genius. If you don't believe we'll win as long as Snyder is owner..fine. Newsflash...Snyder is going to be the owner for a very long time. Is it your intention to continue with the doom and gloom for the entire length of his ownership? Spare us please. Despite your continual bitching some of us prefer to have hope. It's sad that that seems to irritate you.

Snyder can be owner and we can be successful, if he steps back from influencing the roster.

If you're telling me that is impossible for him to step away from influencing the roster then I'm telling you that it is not. If the owner's bottom line is affected adversely by the fallout of his personal influence on our roster then it's not impossible to get him to step back.

I don't want an owner change...that's not going to change our outlook. Him stepping back from our front office will change things and that is possible.

Good post. Some seem to thrive on the negativity and are ticked when others don't follow suit.
