Schizlor Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Skins better hope they can "turn on the switch", because the Vikes are one of the more underrated teams in the NFL. They are very impressive along both offensive and defensive lines. Not nearly as underrated as we are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins fan1010 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Please tell me if I have this right.Although every NFL team feels the need to play preseason games to not only parse scrubs, but to tune their starters for the season at risk of destroying careers worth maybe tens of millions to their star players, the Redskins do not. The reasons are that our team is so good, our brand new coach with brand new personnel implementing a brand new offense doesn't even need to see how it clicks under game conditions. They are that good. Scott Burnell is a young iron man, he can take all the turf pounding he can get in meaningless games. Under the "'nilla 'fense" lockdown, we can't even divulge simple ploys like effective pass blocking and pass coverage. If the NFL sees that, we will lose our games. Even after we dismantle the Vikes, then the Pukes, all the remaining teams are going to be looking through our preseason footage trying to find a chink in our armor. And Hall will pull a TO recovery and return to form in 8 days. Frost has already become consistant. Only once in the history of the NFL has a team won the SB after going winless in the preseason, and that was during a strike shortened year. Gibbs can and will do it again like it was yesterday. Is this what I need to believe to not be called a CL? This is all I have to say: A-team hasn't been on the field for a whole game Someone is a panick artist Someone should also check the name of the QB on the team he says he's a fan of How can you place any value on preseason wins. Do you remember Spurrier? Or have you also forgotten that Gibbs rarely does well in preseason? Let's not insult reasonable people with Kool Aid jokes. Everyone Ok with that?

turbodiesel#44 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 This is all I have to say:A team hasn't been on the field for a whole game How many halves does it take for our starters to get into the end zone? Answer me that. I don't think you know, because we haven't done it yet. All preseason. Someone is a panick artist Skins are my team. Always have been. But I am also a football fan. Don't like anything I've seen so far. Someone should also check the name of the QB on the team he says he's a fan of Last year an announcer kept calling MB Scott Burnell. IT WAS A JOKE. Read the thread. How can you place any value on preseason wins. Do you remember Spurrier? I don't place any value on preseason wins. I value the preseason for what it is intended to do. Figure out which scrubs to cut and TUNE YOUR STARTERS. Our starters don't look remotely tuned. To me anyway, but I don't have your vision. I have mentally blocked Spurrier from my mind to retain my sanity. Or have you also forgotten that Gibbs rarely does well in preseason? That is the only thing I can cling to right now. I have nothing else. Let's not insult reasonable people with Kool Aid jokes. Apoligies if I have insulted anyone. Were you a Rev. Jim Jones follower? Everyone Ok with that You'll have to ask them.

skinfaninny Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Its gonna be more like.....the guys fought their guts out and battled through the preseason and even though we struggled they practiced hard every day and it showed in todays game. Did i think we were gonna win 35-0, no I didnt, but we just came out ready to play. OMG! That sounds exactly like a Gibbs' quote. Heck, I think he might have said that in a press conference once.

MONTEY Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I have faith because I love our Skins with a passion. But lord have mercy on our chicken little, kook-aid homer souls if what we've seen in preseason is in fact the real Skins. Hope not. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praise_gibbs Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 There is a difference between being a homer and being confident. No way in HELL does a Joe Gibbs team go from 30th ranked offense to the 11th ranked offense and finally to a 32nd ranked offense. I am not buying it. Our team is upgraded on both sides of the ball. You just do not upgrade in talent and downgrade in standings. It just does not add up. Am I a homer? Far from it. Am I confident? Damn straight!!

actorguy1 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The Steelers did it last year, and didn't score an offensive TD with their starters. A bit of a mistake by the Redskins announcers when interviewing Christian Fauria. What the announcer meant to say was that the Colts went 0-5 in the preaseason, including a 38-0 shutout loss to the Bengals in the final game of the preaseason. Not exactly a SB winner but 13-3 is not bad goal to shoot for. :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleedburgundyandgold Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Please make this madness stop. Please TurboDiesel, drink your kook-aid, spike it w/ a heavy pour of Jack, and take it easy. preseason football is the biggest joke in sports. everyone w/ any sense knows it. it couldnt possibly mean any less, especially for a veteran team w/ veteran coaches like the Skins. and lets not kid ourselves about Minnesota. Gibbs will say, as he should, that they are an excellent and dangerous football team. But we know better. They are very, very bad. Without Robinson they are even worse. Witness their signing of Todd Stinkston, perhaps the sorriest excuse for a receiver in the league. None of my Iggle fan friends (yes, sorry to admit I have a few) could stand him.

Peregrine Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Well that was someone disjointed... First, although MOST NFL teams decide to do things one way doesnt mean we should. Many NFL teams are coaches by the likes of Mangini, Childress, etc etc. Every year 16 NFL teams fall in the bottom half of the NFL, because they are unsuccesful at what they do. I do not wish to follow them. Second, there are two goals of preseason, and two goals only. The first is to be able to differentiate between players and their abilities. The second is to prepare the team for the regular season. This does not, though it may at times, constitute winning, and/or playing well as a team. Third, our coaching staff doesnt seem that concerned about it. We have about 4 former defensive cooridnators, 4 formers head coaches(One HOF coach), one widely considered to be one of the best defensive minds, the other considered to be one of, if not the, best offensive mind in football. We finished 10-6 last year, regardless of preseason performance, I see no reason to believe we would be worse after adding Al Saunders. My take? Take two pills(wash it down with Koolaid if it would make you feel better), and see me after the Minnesota game, and THEN we can talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Please tell me if I have this right:Three hugely respected and ridiculously successful coaches work 18 hours a day for 8 months charting out a plan for how they want to proceed in both training camp and in preseason games, and reach this plan based on literally combined decades of proven success in the NFL...and they tell the fans that even if we don't see what we're hoping to see, they themselves are seeing many of the things they were looking for and are not too concerned by the things that tend to worry us. One of them has even won the Super Bowl with a dominating team after having a preseason in which pretty much all phases of said team looked horrendous, to the point that even the owner complained about the squad.... And I should scrap all of that and declare these three coaches to be completely full of it and their methods to be ridiculously ineffective because....why, again?
