Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

Well, putting this into perspective, this isn't a war we're fighting, this is a freakin' football game. I trust Joe Gibbs to know a little more about coaching football than Winston Churchill.

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

[QUOTE=BigSKINBauer]man we were optimistic in the chat room saying that we could pull it off and even said that if we had a quarter like Doug williams had in the superbowl that we could score 35 points. THe problem with that is that 35 points wouldn't do it we needed 36 to tie. Next the giants could have taken 2 minutes off each drive minus one where we would use TOs so that is 6 two minute drives by the gints. That gives us 6 minutes to score 36 points. Its just not possible. I wish it was but it just is not.

We may have lost the battle but the war has yet to be decided.

we needed to keep our players healthy for more battles[/QUOTE]

LOL, I dont know man. Bless your heart, you seemed to never give up until the clock said zero.

to the jury i present exhibit A: September 19, 2005 after midnight MNF(Tuesday morning) Redskins vs. Cowboys.

For some reason i had a feeling in the beginning of the 4th of the cowpukes game and said that we were gonna upset them the way they did us so many times before. This game felt EXACTLY like that one. It just had a different outcome. obviously we were well over our heads in this game but hey, keep the faith people keep the faith. No one in this CONFERENCE can beat us as far as i am concerned and we all know what that means.... SUPERB...nah

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

If we don't bitch slap the Eagles next week, I will be sore. I want them to come out next week pissed off and ready to go wild. There is no way the Eagles come in our house and beat us. Who's with me?

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

whoever is lucky enough to go to the eagle game go buck wild. Go crazy, go insane, go early, get loud, cheer our players who had a horrible performance a week before, and be supportive. We can win our next couple. This game is a slap in the face, we got full of ourselves. Our players were leading every stastical catagory, we were dressing up and bragging about 3 TDs, we were rapping with LARRRY LANDOVVER, the media was interviewing us asking what made us so good, we were saying that we had a MVP on the team, We had a jerry rice record breaker, we had a comeback player, we a had the head coach of the year, we had the NFC owned, and that we had a coach that at the end of the year would be proclaimed the best coach in history. We were full of ourselves.

I am glad we lost big. sure its embarassing and the media will be horrible this week, but remember its a war not a battle and this will help us in the war

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

It's not called giving up, it's called being smart.

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

Must be a new "hip" translation then.

When you throw in the towel the majority of the world sees it as giving up, quitting, being ok with losing.

I'm not from the new generation I guess that sees quiting as being "smart".
IMHO

peace

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

i must be a new generation hipster

i understand, like gmanc said i felt we could win all the way through but really it was the hip thing to do. we couldn't risk an injury to moss or brunell, our boys were falling left and right and i still don't know the story on samuels. lets hope for the best but we needed to get out and get out fast

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

Let me "skool" you young folks

Lossing Never adds a win.
Period.

Losing faster today does not help us get a win quicker in a game to come.

Losing means you lost. Either because you fought hard and lost or GAVE UP.

Losing NEVER helps you win a season and I don't care what "knowlegable fans" think.

A loss add to yer losses...period

peace

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

Losing your best quarterback for being too stubborn to take him out of the game when it is out of reach doesn't add wins either, just makes ya look more like the fool.

"The Skins did not put PR in the game to give us a chance to win but to be the end of the game whipping boy. That's pathetic and the whole team and I mean WHOLE team needs to tell him how SORRY they are."

That is SBF's quote

I agree that we shouldn't have made PR a "wipping boy" we should have put him in to still have a chance. But the thing is the skins didn't bend over and say stick it to me, the first two plays were our biggest plays of the game. We didn't give up, we just put in a lesser QB, Brunell was getting destroyed. We put in a fresh body and we had two good plays that put us into the redzone for the first time. We gave it what we had at the end, even though it wasn't much

I completely agree that we didn't have any heart. we didn't look like we wanted to win.

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

What happens if you lose a starter due to injury when you're down 36-0 in the 4th with 2 minutes to go?

You're potentially throwing away the season just for the sake of being stubborn.

This is one of the strangest discussions I've ever seen, just when you thought you've seen them all! LOL

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

[QUOTE=Sammy Baugh Fan]I thought it was PATHETIC today to have Mark B. [#8] in the game stinking it up, not making a single play all game long and when our team "gives up" we throw Patrick in there to take the rest of the hits.

The Skins did not put PR in the game to give us a chance to win but to be the end of the game whipping boy. That's pathetic and the whole team and I mean WHOLE team needs to tell him how SORRY they are.

NOT ONE of them showed up today.

There was not one single redskins player I have seen that showed up today ready to play...let along win.

I'm a Gibbs is Great" guy but when a whole team doesn't show up it's in his lap for not having them ready to play.

The giANTS ain't that great to beat us like that.

We failed ourselves.

Patrick got to be the late game sacrificial whipping boy.
~shakes head at the whole team

Pack a lunch folks as we head to a pissed off Philly.

peace

Seriously, bro...you need to calm down in general. It's one game. I thought Sean Taylor played exceptional today. So I'll stay focused on the positives... and that's the only one I can find.

[QUOTE=Mattyk72]This is one of the strangest discussions I've ever seen, just when you thought you've seen them all! LOL[/QUOTE]

I know! How is putting Ramsey in at garbage time this week different from putting him in last week when we were blowing out the Niners? Did the team apologize to him then?

Re: Make a bed, lay in it.
 

I've read some pretty strange stuff here at thewarpath.net but I guuess Matty has singled me out today all of a sudden.

"This is one of the strangest discussions I've ever seen, just when you thought you've seen them all!"

I disagree with not playing Mark Brunell and trying to win and Matty makes excuses for throwing in the towel like a loser and he makes that comment towards me. Guess I'm not one of those "knowlegable redskins fans".

I never give up or quit trying to win. You'll need to show me when someone losing helped them win.

Redskins try and win!
