It's very disturbing to be on a REDSKINS website and have to deal with people that ALWAYS think the Skins will lose. Shit, I can get that from my Cowboys friends, I don't need that here!

All I know is I sure couldn't stand watching a game live with some of these people. The constant bitching keeps me away for most of the game here. I just can't handle the complaining after every single freaking play. Every negative play and the sky is falling.

Yep! And Lord forbid if you try to say something good about the team, you're labeled a homer and accused of "drinking the kool-aid."

I'd love for some of these people to just go back and review their posts. I believe they'd understand where we are coming from.

Pass the Kool-Aid, cause it sure tastes extra sweet after a W.

There is a HUGE difference with frustration in saying things like "why the 8 straight runs?" and saying "game over" when they win the freakin coin toss.
It is all too common that people are only here to be negative, and you know what...we REAL fans are damn sick of it. Either be a FAN, or get the hell off this site. I'm tired of people being negative every damn week regardless of the situation.

We don't agree on much, but I'm 100% with ya on this one!

I absolutely agree with you. I had to leave the site for a while cause people were pissing me off with all the negativity.
I wasn't here last week cause I knew it would get bad...I waited til the 4th quarter or so before I got on this week hoping to see people being positive and cheering our skins, instead I find "so called" fans already giving up and saying game over! I'm right there with you Matty.

Here's a clue for everyone using "frustration" as an excuse to say negative things like "game over" when it's long from over...YOU'RE NOT A SKINS FAN. Real skins fans don't give up when a little adversity comes their way. So try this in the future, if you feel the need to say something stupid like that, SHUT UP. Don't bother saying it, you're not helping anyone including yourself!!!

jsarno · 11-04-2007, 06:26 PM

Alright, I think I'm off my soap box for now.

We're 5-3 right now, and if we were told the SKins would be 5-3 in week 17 of last season, every one of us would jump and cheer.
I'm happy to be 5-3. We've gone through some growing pains, and I still feel we are a playoff team. All we need to do is play .500 ball from here on out and we are in the playoffs!!!!

We actually agree on more than you think...we are just way off when it comes to political issues. When it comes to Redskins issues, we're always on the same page.

LOL! True that my friend. True that!

It is a win in OT...against a team with a now 1 and 8 record... I'm not feeling we are near geling as a team yet. We need more sparks on offense ....Our WRs need to catch more TD's and deep passes.

NYCSkin · 11-04-2007, 08:13 PM

While I agree the "game over" posts are nonsense after the first bad play--this site is a "forum" where opinions, whether rationale or not, are discussed. Should someone opine in a negative fashion that does not exclude them from being a "fan".

I, for one, am a member of the Warpath's "Pessimists Caucus". After 15 years, and two playoff wins--I am frustrated. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is mine and other "fans" right to feel this way. However, lumping all the "Kool Aid Caucus" as the "real" Skins' fans and suggesting bans for contrarian posters is perhaps the most ridicules (sic) opinion I have heard on this very competent site...

we were lucky to escape with the win,kudo's to the off line and suisham,looks like he got his hook fixed,a lot of people didnt think he would be able to make a game winning kick,especially from that distance,i had my doubts also going into the game but after the way he was kicking prior to o.t. I had confidence in him for the last kick.
Still very unimpressed with offense and playcalling,my main problem with it being so unimaginative,remember al the presnap motion Gibbs used to do? but my main problem isnt about that,its what we do whwn we run the play.We rarley use the shotgun,when we do pass its usually straight 7 yrd drop back passes with no play action pass,theres no deception on off to try and confuse the def.I noticed last week against N.E.,and this week against the jets,who looked like they might have used some of N.E.'s plays,their off's used misdirection,fake handoffs and fake reverses,a lot of different looks that confused our def and kept us off balance,I see none of that in our off except for once or twice a game.One of our best plays today was Jason dropping back to pass and faking the throw and then the delayed handoff to portis for a good gain,that was a great call but theres not enough of that kind of playcalling.Today we were able to win because the off line came together and opened some holes,if they wouldnt have the outcry on hear would be so bad you wouldnt be able to stand it. I wouldnt be as concerned with the playcalling as far as run pass ratio if i saw some imagination with the plays instead of straight handoffs and straight dropback passing

I disagree with you there.

Other than that good post.
