eparks11 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I really hate Don Banks. I mean the serious kind of hate where I wish he'd lose his job and become a homeless drifter. Here is his "preview" of the Skins game this weekend. Is it too much to ask for him to just do his freaking job and write a true preview of the game and leave his personal hatred for the redskins and Dan Snyder out of it? Chicago (0-0) at Washington (0-0) You've got to be a fantasy football junkie to get stoked for this one, easily the dog game of the week. One team will start a rookie quarterback (Chicago's Kyle Orton), and the other one will probably switch to a rookie (Washington's Jason Campbell) any day now. The beginning of year two in D.C. is about when Steve Spurrier realized that this wasn't the job he thought it was. Wonder if Joe Gibbs is creeping toward arriving at the same type of conclusion? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/don_banks/09/08/matchup.mixer/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 That is certainly a bit harsh. But what can you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommiesGo Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Stoke the fire. We will do better than what everyone predicts and when we make the playoffs all these fools will have some might fast backpeddeling going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Hog Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I really hate Don Banks. I mean the serious kind of hate where I wish he'd lose his job and become a homeless drifter. Oh, that's not all that bad...that's acceptable hatred and deservedly so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins0128 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 If it gets any bigger, they may not need shoulder pads. Good. Just like the Arrington interview where he talked about people saying he is washed up. These guys read this stuff, and it gets posted in the locker room. Despite the fact that they say they pay no attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 the barometer on what is going on with this team is Gregg Williams. Williams' tutelage of the Redskins defense in 2004 gained plaudits from even the harshest Redskins critics around the NFL. if things in the organization were that bad he could have bailed out of here after the season and landed with a top team from 2004. instead he indicated he was going to stay in DC for 2005. if he didn't think things were going to improve, why put up with the extra pain?

scruffylookin Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I really wish all these "experts" in the media would print their credentials. What has Don Banks ever done besides write worthless columns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Banks is a riot. He blindly loves the Ravens and hates the skins. I can't wait until Manning and company drop forty on that overrated d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 it's one thing to criticize a bad product, it's another to go out of your way to insult for no reason. Where's the snide comments about the Bears?..... exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef8181 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 It might be harsh but it's true. A 5-11 team vs. a 6-10 team from last year's records. 2 questionable offensives and 2 good defenses. That's what I would call a dog game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
