How Can the Skins Possibly Overcome THIS???

The NY Giants already have home field advantage for this week's game.

But that was not enough; the Giants have signed FA WR Devin Thomas who spent all of the off-season, the pre-season and four games of this season with the Redskins. He knows all the intracacies of the "Shannahan offense"; he knows the tendencies and he is gonna spill his guts to his new teammates. This is worse than if the Giants videotaped the Skins' practices for this week!

This is a conspiracy by the NFL Front Office to keep the Redskins out of the playoffs. We should demand a Congressional inquiry...

Devin Thomas is the last guy to ask about our offense -- if he knew anything about it, he would still be here.

I know that was the spin but I find that hard to believe. I think he just wasn't a fit with Shanahan.

I guess we will find out how well he knew the offense against the G-men. At the end of the day, if you execute, it doesn't matter whether they know what you are running.

I'm not too worried about Thomas spilling his guts, given that he used team meetings to catch up on his beauty rest, since after all, a model must always look well rested.

I didn't know curmudgeons were able to crack a joke.

skinsfaninok · 12-01-2010, 12:23 AM

^ again the giants will know our offense well simply because we are a one dimensional team.. We are ranked like 30th in rushing. I guess 46 will never be healthy again?

mooby · 12-01-2010, 12:31 AM

Opponents haven't had a hard time beating us this season even without having ex-Redskins in the lineup, so Devin "Hardest working dual model/wideout" Thomas shouldn't be that much help.

tdSKINS1 · 12-01-2010, 12:54 AM

If we win this message board is filled with hoorahs and playoff anticipation. We lose and the world ends. Good lord.. I highly doubt Devin Thomas is going to give them anymore type of edge then they probably already have on us. Were a growing football team fellas were just not "there" yet. I'm with ya it's frustrating but it's just the way it is.

Haha, yeah but that's how it goes on fan sites like these. The secret is to enjoy the games we play well in and not get too upset when we don't. Problem is, it's tough to settle for not getting too upset too often this season.

I'm pretty sure this thread was made in jest, since I doubt a curmudgeon would seriously be so juvenile in his thought process.

Thank you SCP.

I thought my call for a Congressional inquiry into this dastardly plot was sufficiently over the top for folks to realize I wasn't serious about this.

Devin Thomas can tell the Giants how to build a web sight or be in music videos or how to start a modeling career. But teach them about anything to do with football.....nah!
We are safe.

tdSKINS1 · 12-01-2010, 01:50 AM

I'll be the first to admit I get upset and pissed off at the Redskins. This season were able to keep games close (excluding the Eagle game) and contend which is very promising. We have holes still and the talent level just isn't there. Were not a 12-4 football team yet. It's a building process that is long overdue. This is what we get for the mistakes that we made years ago. Just root for them hard during the games, and don't let it stress you out to much it really just isn't worth it. You'll die an early if you let this teams failures get to you. This is why I'm also a big Hokie fan because atleast they somewhat can put together a good team (exclude JMU and Boise State week haha)
