Redskins - Losers?

RobH4413 · 03-21-2006, 02:12 PM

yeah now this thread is beating a dead horse...

we all agree that he's way way way off...

fu*k the naysayers... especially the ignorant ones

Paintrain · 03-21-2006, 02:39 PM

One quick point.. None of the writers ever seem to indicate that they think the players that were replaced (Patten/Thrash, Wynn, Clark, Royal) were better than the players that we brought in (Lloyd, Randle El, Carter, Archuleta, Fauria) just that we spent a bunch of money on them.. If we were losers in free agency then demonstrate how we are a worse team for bringning those players in not just that you disagree with our economics..

JWsleep · 03-21-2006, 02:51 PM

Good post, JoeRedskin (and everyone else--this is a little like shooting fish in a barrel...)

I find the bad reasoning most entertaining--they assume we were headed to cap hell. Then, surprise, we somehow (no doubt illegally) avoid it. Then we plunge ourselves right back into soon to happen cap hell. But this falsely assumes we were ever in (or anywhere near) cap hell to begin with. And--and this is the fact that simply cannot compute over at SI (and if it did, they would see how stupid they've been--to tough to admit): WE ARE NOT, AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN CAP HELL!

So, rejecting the false assumption, and taking the fact thay the Steelers, for example, blew it by losing Randle-el, we spent our money wisely to improve our team in areas that SI was extremely happy to point out we were weak in last year (as if this was somehow missed by the folks in the skins FO). QED.

(Isn't it fun beating a dead horse, especially when we're in the offseason doldrums?

im the biggest culprit...
i keep saying "im done with this post" and find myself addicted to the war path... reply after reply

I know that everyone pretty much has the same things to say about these guys as far as their hate for the Redskins. Myself I love it, I love to argue and this gives me a reason. The reason these writers come out and say bad things about the Redskins is because it's the "in" thing. If you go against the norm and actually give Washington credit for what they do then you are subjecting yourself to the whipping pole for everyone else. Each writer just about said that Dan Snyder would go out and pay T.O. all the money in the world to get him because he's a star. That he would come in and destroy the team atmosphere, Dallas signs him and Jerry Jones is a genius. Why you may ask ? Because it wasn't us. Each position was upgraded when we signed players. Washington could've kept Lavar he decided to leave and like someone said before, he was hardly used and they still rolled along so I don't understand the hub bub. I love the fact that Snyder will go out and get who the coach says he wants, that's why the skins are worth $1.26 bill and they bring home the bacon for the Falcons and Bengals who for some reason can't make money.

Joe Gibbs said it best, "The thing I want to emphasize is this: We haven't done one thing that anybody else can't do," the Redskins' Hall of Fame coach said following a news conference to introduce free-agent signing Andre Carter. "We have certain rules in the league. Here's the cap, here's the numbers, here's what you can spend, so everybody in the league can do what we're doing, it's just that they choose not to, many of them."

Don't get angry about the practices learn how to do it. T.O. will get $10, $8, and $7 mil for each year he plays for the Cowboys. Wow, talk about a cap number. Peter King said the Skins should be investigated because something has to be up with the contracts and the money we sign guys to. How's about 91,000 + fans a game dummy. That equals $$$$$$ !!!!!! Tell the other teams to make some money, sell some team hot dogs or something. Learn how to market, advertise, whatever they need to do get off their butts and earn some money and buy Head Coaches and make them Coordinators ! Damn it feels good to be a Skins fan !!!!

HAIL !!!!

Big C · 03-21-2006, 03:42 PM

what he doesnt seem to get is that most of these players wont see the money at the end of the contracts, they are heaily backloaded. surely they will either be cut or restructure before then. dumbass sports writers

wilsowilso · 03-21-2006, 03:44 PM

After the first Seattle game last year Banks wrote and I quote "Washington is the worst 3-0 team in the history of the NFL."

I don't think he likes us? That Don Banks sure knew what he was talking about with that one! Banks has been approved for the title of "Hack Bitch" along with (Dr. Z, Lenny P and Peter King). You guys wonder why Art Monk isn't in the hall of fame? These 4 represent a vote against almost any Redskin for as long as they are around. It's kind of sad, but I like our chances of shutting these guys up. Then again if we win a Super Bowl I will guarantee all 4 will write something negative about our team. Hack Bitches!

warriorzpath · 03-21-2006, 03:57 PM

Don Banks has been added to my boycott list, which so far includes:

Sean Salisbury
Tom Jackson
Dr. Z
Peter King
Len Pasquarelli (hard to boycott because he's an nfl insider. I am more selective with his articles though)

This is just my own way to stick it to them after hearing years of this shit and do not expect anyone to follow suit. I can't respect their opinion of anything else if they can't even try to respect the team I am a devote fan of (redskins, of course). Just my take on it.

I'm unable to post the link to CNNSI, but Don Banks labels the B&G losers! Actually, I don't know how to post a link! Sorry!

Hopefully a moderator can add it later.

Did I miss a memo on us losing in FA or something?

Is Don Banks now doing his best Fat Lenny, or P. King?

it's because we are losers, duh. Everyone knows that. We couldn't suck more if we tried. All the media is right.

MonkFan4Life · 03-21-2006, 04:15 PM

Man I forgot about Tom Jackson. HA, how many cigars does he smoke a day ? I don't know if any of you remember this but when Washington beat Tampa I turned to ESPN and Steve Young said that Washington had a chance to beat Seattle. Tom Jackson literally laid his head down on the table and damn near cried because he thought Young was going to pick Washington. It must hurt to have your chance at a trophy snatched away from the Skins ! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA charred lipped loser. I'm black and I smoke and my lips are no where near that shade. I mean geez !!! Damn why can't the season start tomorrow,... I'm like the goo on Ghostbusters 2. The more hate thrown at the Skins the more vibrant I become. Let's start it up now, get the lights on ! I want my football !

John Clayton get's much respect from me because he calls it down the middle ! Did anyone hear how Dan Patrick devoted a weeks worth of shows to refute Joe Theismans prediction that the Redskins would go to the Super Bowl last year ? I loved it when they kept winning and he had to play it off. Down with the Cowdungs, and every other team. Oh thank you Dan Snyder for having the PA guys play "Momma's don't let your babies grow up to be coyboys" after that ass whippin they handed out !

wolfeskins · 03-21-2006, 05:18 PM

let me tell you how smart Don Banks is

he says minnesota is a winner in free agency because they got a 2nd round draft pick for a qb (culpepper) that sucked last year and is coming off surgery.

then he says miami is a winner because they only gave up a 2nd round draft pick for a qb (culpepper) that is one of the best qbs in the game.

if we can't see that this guy is clearly a genius, well, then we need help.
