Im definitely a Scud. I think this team is better than we were 2 years ago, so we at LEAST need to beat the Seahawks tomorrow.

BleedBurgundy · 01-04-2008, 09:58 PM

I'm a sarnoist solely because of all of the extraneous nonsense we've had to face this year.

rypper11 · 01-04-2008, 10:01 PM

I said Scud, but it would depend on how we play tomorrow. If they are flat, give up big plays and play poorly, I am pissed. But, the same would be true if we beat the Seahawks and get hammered by Dallas. If Seattle outplays us in a good game, oh well. Nice season and we'll look towards next.

beau_str · 01-04-2008, 10:27 PM

sarnoism for sure. 1 month ago i was just wanting to see the season end cause i could not see how any teamate could want to play football after losing there best player. no matter what happens tomorrow i am really proud of what the team has done.

Schneed10 · 01-04-2008, 10:33 PM

I voted as a Sarnoist. I'm extremely proud of this team for overcoming so much and getting this far. I'm excited about next season too. If I could vote as somewhere between Sarno and Scud though, I would. While I'm proud of this team for what they've done, over the last four games they have built up an expectation in me because they're peaking at the right time. I expect them to beat Seattle. I'll be disappointed if they don't.

But then I'll step back, take stock of the season, and probably be extremely pleased.

Very well put. You think you might start a Church of Schneed?

Granted this team has been through a lot this season and while I am pleased that we made the playoffs I want more. For those not familiar with Sadenism please refer to the following satisfaction chart:

Making the Playoffs: 10%
Beating the Hawks: 20%
Beating Dallas: 75%
Going to the SB: 30%
Winning the SB: 110%

onlydarksets · 01-04-2008, 11:27 PM

That's a tough one, and it depends when the question is asked. Through the first 8 games, I was an Irishist. After the 4 game skid, I was a Sarnoist. After the 4 game win streak, I'm tempted to split the difference and be a Scuddite, but I think I was overly optimistic at the midpoint. I'm going with Sarnoist.

onlydarksets · 01-04-2008, 11:28 PM

Of course, in my heart, I'm always whichever one means "just one more win".

ncskinsfanec · 01-04-2008, 11:38 PM

I fall more under optimisim, and I think the that future looks brighter and brighter with every passing win. Even if we don't get to the Super Bowl this season I still think that things are falling into place for a great season next year.

The Saunders offense is really starting to click now and the Williams defense is back to form after a brief hiatus last season. Maybe, just maybe we can become a consistent year-in and year-out, formidable force again in the league for the first time since the early 90's!

RobH4413 · 01-04-2008, 11:44 PM

Gotta go a little nuts on this one. I voted A...

I've been repping Schneeds posts lately... and I guess I've got to follow suit. Pretty much everything he said.

There's nothing I want to do more than to send the "We Want Dallas" text to all of my friends. Let's get a win... let's beat Dallas. Let's go to the Superbowl!

If not... it was a hell of a run.

MTK · 01-04-2008, 11:52 PM

LOL great poll

Of course I would be disappointed with a loss... but at the same time for me it's hard to look back on this season and not be proud of what the team accomplished under some very difficult circumstances.

GTripp0012 · 01-05-2008, 01:39 AM

Would 60% of the people here really feel jobbed about this season as a whole if the Skins lose this week?

Just wow.

BrudLee · 01-05-2008, 08:39 AM

I think we are going to win today, but after the injuries and loss we've had, I am so proud of this team, and so proud to be a fan. As long as we continue to have good effort, this team has nothing to be ashamed of.

Skinsfan1967 · 01-05-2008, 08:48 AM

We can beat the Seahawks and losing to Dallas in the playoffs is to painful to think about. NFC title game or bust!!
