Tommy-the-Greek Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I was listening to Wfan Sports talk last night and Joe B. had Tony on his show. They started talking about the upcoming Giant/Skin game. First JoeB. said the Skins are one of the most balanced team in the league. He praised our "D" and coaching staff. Tony started by praising our "D" and saying they are a top 5 "D" and they are the real deal. Then he started talking about our "O". He praised Cooley saying that he was a great player and could do it all and he was just as good as Shockey. Then he Praised Santana and Brunell and Portis. He said the Redskins were for real and they are getting better each week and they are the favorite to not only get into the playoffs from the nfc east but also could go along ways and even win it all. Then Strahan came on the show and started talking about just how tough the nfc east is right now. He said playing the Redskins now is just as tough as playing Philly. I also liked hearing Joe B. the Jet fan complain about the Santana trade. All in all it is a good week of radio up here in the NY market. I get to hear about our Skins all week leading up to the Giant game. Some of the other things I heard earlier in the day was on the Mike and the Mad Dog show. Mike is a big Giant fan and a parcells lover who has always hated the Skins said some nice things yesterday as well. He said in years past teams would see the Skins on there schedule and count it as a win. He said now they can count it as a loss. They were looking at the San Diego Chargers schedule and trying to count wins to see if they make the playoffs and when they got to the Skins they both said Chargers lose. It is amazing how the media is doing a 180 on the Skins. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 That's a change long awaited and I got me a feeling that these players, these coaches, and this owner ain't gonna let it slip away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 The next 3 weeks will tell the WHOLE story and truly define what kind of team we are. It looks good from where I'm sitting! If we can go 2-1 over the next 3 weeks, we'll be sitting pretty! HAIL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan44 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Nice to hear some props from the NY media. Thanks for posting that, Tommy. I live kinda close to Baltimore and hear all the crap about the Ravens. It is funny how at the begining of the season, all I heard was how the Ravens were a Super Bowl contender and the Skins will be in last place in the NFC East again, but now people are dumping on the Ravens and are coming around to what the Skins are really like. They still bash the Skins in the Baltimore media, but they are not as harsh as they use to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krsone Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I would take tony siragusa's words highly because he unlike other wanna be analysts has actually seen the redskins play from start to finish as he has done a few of redskins game for FOX. other wanna bes probably has seen the highlights and have never seen a full redskins game. they sit in their studio and watch clips of this game and that game. anyway, yeah of course we are getting props. i dont know how anybody can criticize any head coach in his first yr regardless if it is Gibbs or not and say the game has passed by him . so funny. Its freakin Joe Gibbs. He would be the last head coach i doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCskins Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Regardless, Tony has no business being a TV announcer. He's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art McDonough Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 A year ago everyone (me included) was thinking even if not saying out loud that maybe the game had passed Gibbs by, the Portis deal was a bust, the Redskins were too predictable on offense, Brunell was washed up, on and on. Very few were calling for everyone to trust Joe, he'll figure it out. Thankfully, we were all wrong and although we are all still on a SF high, I think we have good reason to be optimistic about this team. My only worry (granted I worry too much) is that Philadelphia is still the team to beat in the NFC and both Dallas and the Giants are also much improved over last year. Any one of the four could win the NFC North without breaking a sweat all are playoff contenders. The three who don't win the division title could be in a wildcard dog fight along with Carolina and Atlanta. My prediction is some very good teams won't make the playoffs this year and Chicago could make it in with a .500 record. That's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benevolent anarchist Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 It was during the Chiefs game and I can’t recall his exact statement. I seem to remember the portly former Raven said something to the effect of, 'I played against Mark Brunell and I can see it in his eyes that he is frustrated with this offense.' I know it’s his job to come up with something—anything, but I think he was really grasping with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 It is amazing how the media is doing a 180 on the Skins. :cool: Maybe it is because we have started to win again. The media just reports the news and we have stunk for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
