jauburn Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 well buddy you sound like a troll when, 2 days before our first playoff game in 6 years you post a very negative comment. bringing up the worst loss of the regular season. and ask "how can we get over it"the regular season is OVER. the playoffs are all that matter. who cares what happened along the way? we are IN. to me the only person that would even pose such a question is an opposing fan in disguise. think about how your original posts makes you look for a moment.....see what i mean? No, I don't see what you mean. What I see is a person (you) bloated with positive feelings (and arrogance) about the Redskins, and you don't want anyone to pop your bubble. Gibbs talks a lot about character. Part of what makes up character is respect for others, their feelings, and the ability to evaluate your own faults. Some of you could use a coach like Gibbs.

Henry Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Calling someone a "troll" is not a name?Isn't this a discussion board? Are only certain topics allowed? Who's the TopicMeister around here? I agree that sometimes poeple here are a bit too quick to bring up the troll accusations. Simply asking a question does not make you a troll. And noone is going to be banning anyone for simply voicing concerns about the team. I suspect xsinner was joking anyway. Personally, while thinking back on that 36-0 does make me wince, I am no so much concerned about it going forward. Plenty of teams have suffered an 'off' day or two and still managed to win superbowls. Quite a few of us have mentioned the Pats losing to the Bills 31-0 in 2003. In 1994 the 49ers got pasted by the Eagles 40-8 in the regular season and still won the superbowl. in 1990 the Giants lost to the Eagles 31-13 in the regular season and won the superbowl. In 1979 the Steelers not only lost to the Bengals 34-10, but also lost to the Chargers 35-7, and still managed to find the emotional stability to win the superbowl. So it happens. Good teams lose badly sometimes. However, it doesn't matter how you start, but how you finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Being 5-6 was the best thing that ever happened to this team. Think about it...it was clear throughout the season that we had a strong defense, an extremely potent offense, and killer special teams. Problem was, they never all showed up at the same time. They needed something...a catalyst...to bring the team together. Then there was "5 in a row or we don't go." A motivational phrase that lit the fire under all three units. From then on, all thre units showed up every week to at least contribute a little bit, culminating in three dominating performances against division rivals. We outscored Philthy, NY and Dallas 101 - 47!!! This team is destined for good things...they will go deep into the playoffs, mark my words. I wouldn't have had the season any other way. I strongly believe if that we'd beaten the Bucs and Raiders, the team never would have gelled the way it did, and been set up for a disappointing home stretch or a first round exit in the playoffs. But the way things turned out...MAN! Woo-hoo! You can't ask for a better ending to the season than 5 in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsandy Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I can enjoy it. I was just trying to figure out whether my good feelings about the team are justified. Call me a realist. Realistically I think we were better, minus the turnovers, than every team we faced this year--except the giants. And I just don't understand how such a blowout could occur to a team like that. Superbowl XVIII - Raiders 38. Redskins 9. And that was the highest producing offense of the NFL to that point in time. It happens. Players are human. Unfortunately, all those humans decided to be flat the same day. Gibbs just won't let it happen again. Nor will the players... they'll pump each other up.

Die Hard Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Did the Pats just lambast the Bucs 3 weeks ago 28-0 on the road? Quick question: Who had a better record.... the Giants or Patriots? And we're bringing up a week 7 loss to the Giants (on the road)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomE Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Check out past SuperBowl statistics, note the final scores of many...... utter blowouts.... does that mean the winning team is that far superior than the loser? No one anticipated the '83 Skins blowout loss to the Raiders, nor did anyone anticipate the "miracle quarter" against the Broncos... How many thought the 2005 Skins would make the playoffs at the start of the year?..... how many thought at 5-6 that they would still make the playoffs?........well.. here they are. Sure they can lose by a little or a lot........ but they can also win. :paranoid: "That's why they play the games" :bucsuck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWill Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Teams that got blown out but continued on to become playoff contenders this year..... Denver - Blown out 34-10 by Miami NYG - Got blown out 45-23 by San Diego New England - Got blown out 41-17 by San Diego AND 40-21 by Indy Tampa Bay - Got blown out 34-14 by Carolina AND 28-0 by New England This doesn't count the contenders that got blown out last week while resting their key players. I think some of these teams might advance pretty far in the playoffs. Getting dominated once during the regular season may actually be a good thing.......it is an eye opener, and may just make the team on the receiving end of a blowout try extra hard to not let it happen again.

ouvan59 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 So then the real question is, how are the Bucs going to get past their blowout loss at the hands of the Pats? Do you think their players are going to have a hard time getting past that? If we he had not had a chance to play the Giants again then there might still be some lingering doubt but the players had a chance to wash away all their demons with the butt kicking they handed the Giants two weeks ago. Now that being said, we could lose 36-0 this weekend or win 36-0 this weekend. My guess is, however, that it will be more along the lines of 20-17.

Joe Gibbs has the character that would NEVER, NEVER ask "How can we get over the Giants loss on October 30th" when we are 2 days away from the first playoff game in 6 years. Bloated, arrogant feelings about the Redskins.......A die hard fan means believing against ALL odds. If you were not degrading the fans on this site for their enthusiasm, no one would be buccing with you. And the way you want to argue is consistent with the way trolls do.......anything to place doubt in a true fan's mind or distract us from our enthusiasm. Is that calling you a name?

smartestmaninamerica Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 All the teams in the playoffs will be playing with emotion. It's a scary game because it tells you just what can happen to this team.I don't recall a Joe Gibbs team of the 80s getting blown out like that, EVER. Yep, the Redskins lost 72-0 in the championship to the bears like 50 years ago. I still sit awake nights worrying about that one!

Tubfart Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Sometimes teams just don't show up, especially if the game is on the road. Remember when the Giants spanked the Vikings 41-0 in the NFCCG? IMO, its a whole different game if played at the Metrodome. LMAO, now that's reassuring. Sure, sometimes **** happens...especially when "you're on the road." Guess where you are this week. The fantasy ends on Saturday, ladies. Santa Claus has stopped making deliveries. The postseason will be over for the skynyrds so fast, most people won't have realized it had even begun...:laugh: In all seriousness though...good luck on Saturday. Never thought you'd make it.

skinfan133 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I think failing to look at the whole season is just putting blinders on. I like to rah-rah as much as the next fan, but I also like to analyze our chances realistically. again if you like to rah-rah why aren't you, we just made the playoffs!you can honestly say that becuase of that loss months ago this team has no real chance to win in the post season coming off a hot-five game win streak??? what do you eat for breakfest, Stupid O's???

visionary Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Remember, the Bucs got blown out like 50 to 0 in 1999 by a crappy Oakland team before eventually going on to just barely lose the NFC Championship to Kurt Warner's unstoppable team of destiny.

wpenn1 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Dude its the only game this year we didnt show up for. Maybe you should focus on our wins against the following playoff teams, Giants, Bears, Seahawks and Bucs(yeah i said it we won that game. And how we played in hostile environments in Denver and KC. how we game the game away to S.D.(a team everyone thought was the 2nd best team in football).

iceman330 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 That was a lot of emotion on ther part of the Giants since they had just buried their beloved owner, Wellington Mara, just two days beforeI myself have a harder time getting over the loss to the Raiders at home. We should have won that game and had we done that, we might well be 11-5 and possibly have a 1st round bye this week as the division champs and the #2 seed in the NFC There's your answer. Football is an emotional game and I can tell you NOBODY would've beaten the Giants that day; not even Gabrial and his angels. It's like when teams get bulleton board material. A coach can always squeeze more out of his players when he can tab the right emotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
