Re: Why Keep Watching?

How can I not watch the team of which I've been a fan for 56 yrs. Even during those years when it wasn't fashionable to be a Redskin fan in my neighborhood, we ,(my family) always found a way to Griffin Stadium on Sunday's. We have experienced many up's downs high's and low's with this team through the years, and believe me there have been some comprable to what we're going through now. I will continue to watch every single game because I love the team, and as unrealistic as it is I believe we're going to win every game we play. These next nine games will be a true test for determining who the real individual Redskins are, to watch the effort they put forth when they don't have a post-season berth to play for. I want to see how many quit, how many lay down with fake injuries, and how many want to continue to carry the torch. These next nine games will reveal much to me about the character of this team, and I'll be here to watch every single one.

Re: Why Keep Watching?

Im gonna watch the rest of the games, but only the first half and the fourth quarter, throw out the third quarter cause thats when we get killed! Everytime I see an opposing QB do a play action, I close me eyes and cover my ears (and try to find my happy place), cause I know whats gonna happen, a 35-60yard pass play where AA is ten yards behind the reciever, and it goes for a TD. Play action=TD against the skins and everyone knows it.

Re: Why Keep Watching?

I watch because I love, and I love because I watch. It's a vicious circle.

If the skins are getting their asses handed to them though in a game, I'm must stop watching less I wish to be consumed with rage and have a heart attack.

I'm a Redskins fan, and no matter how well or how poorly they do, I'll be sitting in front of the TV each week watching them play. That's how I roll...

Re: Why Keep Watching?

Re: Why Keep Watching?

Even if you cant have a great season, you can have a great game. If we had lost those last 5 games at the end of last season, I would've still never forgiven myself if I had missed the end of the Monday Night Dallas Comeback game....

Re: Why Keep Watching?

Not really a question for me. I love watching football, and more specifically I love watching Redskins football. Win, lose, tie, whatever... mabye I was just brainwashed growing up, but I'll always watch.

Re: Why Keep Watching?

I will continue to watch because Im a die hard fan and no matter what or where I am I cannot live without watching the skins. It does drive me nuts when they look horendous out on the field but regardless I'll watch. Another reason for me is its entertainment. For 3-4 hours every sunday I forget about my job have a few beers and think about nothing else but football. ( I guess it usually stretches all day sunday) I've been there when they were 1-15 and I was there when they won 3 superbowls. I will continue to watch the Skins no matter what.

Re: Why Keep Watching?

I'll keep watching because I'm a Redskins fan until death. I've always loved them and always will. I've stayed through the Super Bowls and through the Shuler and Spurrier experiments.

I'm a real fan...not a selfish one or casual fan who goes out and buys a stuff from "whoever won the Super Bowl this year". I can't stand bandwagon jumpers and I also feel a fan who can't root for his team even when they're bad, isn't a real fan.

Hail to the Redskins. Forever.

I hope some of you hear that Brunell is starting against Dallas and we go out and beat them.

Re: Why Keep Watching?

You watch it just because you are a fan of the team through the good and the bad. The true fans hang around during the tough times....I will not miss a game!

It's just like passing a car wreck on the road.

The problem with the ticket owners doing stuff like this is that fans of the other teams always end up with more tickets. I missed the game against the cowboys last year but I'm willing to bet that there were relatively few boys fans there.
I'm dreading going to the game on the 5th because I just know FedEx is going to be crawling with them.
