skinfan133 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 i dont quite understand this. even though i am frustrated by the team, theres always that chance that they'll pull off a good game, so i watch. i love my redskins to death, so i watch. i see them screw up, i blow a gasket, but i still watch...

praise_gibbs Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Uh... The Washington Redskins won't miss you. If you can't MAN UP and take the bad with the good.. You weren't meant to root for this franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNYC Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 i've been watching for too too long long maybe like many others. The problem is there always seems to be that 1 good game that instills false hope and eventually ends up being frustrating beyond belief. The 'skins are like that hot chic u see at the bar that gives you that little smirk cuz she's sees you smiling at her. A brilliant tease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't meant to root for this franchise. I remember the skins of old, that's what i grew up on. at 22, i dunno,, that's a lot of nostalgic dvd's. No offense intended but that's truth.

To each his own I guess. 3 hours on sunday back in my book, I win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense intended but that's truth. You've been thru the worst of the 'skins and still being a die hard fan thats incredibly admirable! I didn't mean to sound like a dick. I just see people openly willing to denounce their alliance to a team that I have so much passion for. It's like : "I can talk bad about my family but, you can't because it is my family and not yours." Sometimes, they drive you to drink. Sometimes, they are there when you need them the most (winning). Sometimes, they just get themselves in trouble (losing games) and you find yourself constantly defending them. Even though, they seem to have a string of occurences with getting into trouble, you never give up on them because they are your family and you care for them. You will do what you can to make sure that they are cared for and stay clean.... Basically... Stand behind this team and at times IN FRONT of this team. When an opposing fan talks ****, you defend this team like it's your family. There is WAY more to being a fanatic then wins. Not every team wins all the time. Some may win more than others at this point in time but, the losses make the wins that much sweeter. Once, a Burgundy and Gold bleeder, ALWAYS a Burgundy and Gold bleeder. It's in your blood.. unless you plan on embalming your body... You are stuck with this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley seay Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 nov 5th is the best time for the REDSKINS to have a "breakout"game & this could be the ONE!! at home,DALLAS, out to "make a point" play for "pride" to show the sports world you care about winning & the organizaton & most of all THE FANS!!! it happens all the time,the one game that can turn it all around. no better time than the next game. i want to see emotion/fire/heart/pride all 4 quarters!!! the future is NOW!!! let's show that we still support this team & have enough faith that it can be done & let it start at home against............................DALLAS!!!!

Hey hey bro, Still stand by the fact its utterly admirable standing by a team thats been thru What I GAWD HOPE is the worst years imaginable. Its just tough these days and skins nation runs deep in the blood. Heck, I got my superbowl 22 sweatshirt resized to fit now, even tho its that nasty color of grey, shoulda picked better then. Man, i just hope, the powers figure this out and get this ship straight, its been too long where jekyll and hyde ball hasn't run a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, i just hope, the powers figure this out and get this ship straight, its been too long where jekyll and hyde ball hasn't run a season. ( I have never lived in DC. Born and raised in NJ by Iggle fans and still die hard. ) Joe. Jackson. Gibbs. He may not win another Lombardi for us before he parts for perhaps the last time but, he IS bringing prestige back to this franchise. He IS trying his damndest to rebuild this team with young playmakers. He may make 'mistakes' but, he isn't stupid. Everything he does is for a reason and we later find out how foolish we are for doubting him and a certain move, or no move for that matter. The great part is that no matter how many times he [Gibbs] has proven us wrong we still continue to criticize him. It's what we do. We are fans. That is what Joe likes about us. If there never was any doubters, do you really think anybody would be sucessful? What will help drive them to succeed? So, doubt away... All that does is add more fuel to Gibb's fire. When Joe Gibbs is doubted, that is when he is at his best. Perhaps, this year isn't the year. Then, we move on to the hopes of next year. Patience, and you will see that a championship is within grasps. It isn't too far away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majorhavoc Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Try being an Orioles fan for the past 10 years...lol I still love my Redskins no matter what. I've been rooting for them since I can remember. I remember the glory days of the 80's and been thru the tough times as well. I'm not gonna give up on my team. Every team has a stretch where they stuggle. Some longer than others. It's a cycle these days and with free agency teams can go from winner to loser in a year but it takes longer to go from a loser to a winner. One exception is the Patriots. They keep losing/adding players and still seem to have a winning season every year. Keep the faith my friends, keep the faith. Your patience will pay off. It's the 'super-smart' thing to do.

robotfire Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 They earned your time last year. How short of a leash do you have on this team? They lose a few more games than you'd like, and you're calling it quits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwitt Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I have a solution for you. Why don't you follow the lead of many of the cowgirl fans in the late '80's who adopted the 49ers as their other team while times were hard. Maybe you could pick up the Pats, the Bears, or maybe the Colts. It's called fairweather...give it a try, works great for "fans" who can't cope with hard times.

monkforhall Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Anyone can support a team that is winning - it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage. -- Bart Starr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Damn man, you have fortunate enough to seem some good times and experience some Super Bowls... ****, what do I have to show for the last decade and a half? 2 Playoff berths.... ****ing hell, how should I feel? But I could NEVER dream of not watching them to get 3 hours back a week. I guess the tough times weed out the real fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish50 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I've accepted the fact that our season is a bust as long as Brunell is our starting QB, but I'll keep watching. I don't get all psyched up anymore, I just sit back and watch as our team just keeps digging it's own grave. Hell of an attitude huh? I don't like it either but that's just the way I feel. Until Joe pulls Brunell, there's nothing to get excited about with this team but like I said, I'll keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbill Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Ok............so you won't watch the games anymore but what you will do is go to the teams message board during the bye week and announce to everyone that you won't watch anymore? You must be busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
