Victory Monday

jbcjr14 · 09-12-2011, 08:54 AM

I am elated that this team played the way they did yesterday. There are going to be some bumps that come along this year but the best part about yesterday (outside the win) is hearing THE PLAYERS say they do not want a day off and want to get back in the building and get to work. THIS IS HUGE and it will only make this team better as the weeks go along.

Thoughts?

I just think the older guys are so tired of the circus this place has been over the last few years that it is refreshing for them to just get back to playing football and that they are actually enjoying their work again.

NY Post blames Eli for loss.
Sucks to be him today.

^ Ya know I almost said this last night but I didn't post it. No one outside of DC will give this team a chance. They will simply say that the Giants lost the game or gave it to us.

I used to get mad that the media would not give the Skins any props during preseason or leading up to this game. What did one media idiot say ... "the Skins suck like ice cubes" or something like that. But now... although rediculously unfair, I'll take everyone down playing our wins and expecting a Skins loss every weekend. That way the Skins can suprise a few people on Sun. hopefully.

^ It will take more than one game to erase our rep. This week everyone will say, "The Skins did not really win, the Giants were just beaten up," etc.

If we are still riding high after Halloween or Thanksgiving, though, the bandwagon will fill up quickly and obnoxiously.

I don't think anyone hasn't shown us respect for what we did yesterday outside of NY ,and you can't say by blaming Eli's crappy performance, they are necessarily dissing us either. Foxsports, etc gave us props for what we did. My co workers were impressed and they are Lions fans. I mean we did play very solid football, but you have to admit in doing so, Eli sucked balls. A guy like Eli should be able to play with the big boys, and he didn't really play well at all. Rex outplayed him!!!!!!!!!

We got a decent amount of respect from ESPN today. I didn't have to work today, so I was all over sports talk radio and ESPN during the day. Heck, NFL Live gave Kerrigan the defensive play of the day.

Sports radio was just lighting Tony Homo up today...man everyone took a shot. Peter King too...

Yeah, granted a win is a win, it was against a depleted Giants defense and Manning playing without some of his favorite targets (Smith, Boss etc.)

Looking forward to next week.

Their rush was still deadly and Grossman was beaten up pretty well. A Campbell or McNabb would have folded under such brutal hits. Besides, we had injuries too, like Landry, Jenkins, and Buchanon. Our running game was stuffed for almost an entire half as well.

Chico23231 · 09-12-2011, 10:04 AM

Office awful quiet today.....hatters gotten silent. Cowboy and Giants fans not really showing their face round Chico's desk. Think during lunch might have to make the rounds.

SmootSmack · 09-12-2011, 10:06 AM

My next door office neighbor is a huge Giants fan, I keep walking by asking him if he had the chance to see Rex Grossman yesterday

As for not taking today off, I hope it pays off

A neighbor of mine is a Dallas fan and after having drove past their house yesterday with family in tow wearing Skins jerseys I came home to find someone (we know who) wrote "Dallas Rules" on my screen door to my house.

So after the Skins game I went shopping and purchased red balloons and yellow balloons (closest colors I could get from the dollar store) and red and yellow streamers, blew them up and tied strings to them. Then at the 14 min. mark in the second quarter of the Dallas game me and my family snuck up to the neighbors house and tied the balloons to their front tree and bench and car antenna. Then we took the streamers and tossed it back and forth through the tree, wrapped their bench, and taped little streamers about 6 inch in length down their mini van. They had "Skins Suck" and "Dallas Rules" written on the back of their van which was turned into "Skins Rock" and Dallas Drules". LOL.

It was all still up early this morning at around 7:10 am. lol. I just wish I could be there to see their faces. lol.

A wise man once said that life isn't about the achievements, it's about the struggle. We have a long road ahead with a young, fired up team. We likely won't achieve much this season, all told, but I will enjoy the struggle.
