ntotoro Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Look at the Giants, they sign a lot of FAs every year, but dont get bashed about it. The reason is, they have a guy who knows how to put a team together and evaluate talent for the system. Didn't he just quit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGibbsThickandthin Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 BLABLABLA. The Ravens were 6-10 last year and about to fire their coach. Everyone in the lockeroom hated eachother. They fired assitant coaches. The owner told the coach to shut up. They did stuff for hype. They had a show on HBO showing everything they do. These writers just go with the group think.

E-Dog Night Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 If you read his blogs, he and the Redskins front office have had a few "disagreements" about information he writes as fact. I think he and Karl Swanson have exchanged a few emails. What better way to stick it to the Skins then write about the Ravens and how perfect they are Who wants to read about them in Washington anyway? The post is an embarassment in its handling of the skins, just as much as the reverse :2cents: Seems lots of people have had "disagreements" with the Redskins organization since the team was sold. Must be everyone else, and not the common thread in all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMADD Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Can anyone tell me what the Skins overall record is from 1999 to today? And the Ravens? And their playoff records during that time frame? That should put this thread to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKM311 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Didn't he just quit? He retired, didn't quit. But they still hired his right hand man to run the org, Jerry Resse (i think thats his name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean when they were in cleveland? :doh: Or when md funded their stadium? :doh: Or when they consistently field a top ten defense but they can't ever fix the offense? :doh: Or when they dumped dilfer after winning the superbowl for elvis grbac? :doh: With that defense they should have 3 superbowls.

I'm talking wins and losses. Playoff appearances. Super Bowl wins. They own the skins since Danny took over. In fact, pretty much the entire league does.

Get your facts straight: the Skins are not the worst team in the NFL. They're the 5th worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His team was a SHAMBLES last year. They played probably one of the EASIEST schedules this year. 2 games on their schedule against playoff teams. Their division fell apart. J La C has an axe to grind and his articles have no merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 You win. That article was an obvious hit job by LaCanfora that unfairly compared the Ravens and Redskins. Washington is clearly the better run franchise. He's so blinded by his hate for the Skins that he somehow thinks the Ratbirds are in better shape than the Redskins. What an idiot.

I never said the Ratbirds aren't a better run franchise. My point is the WASHINGTON Post shouldn't be writing articles on Baltimore teams and insulting Washington teams in the process. The article was clearly written to slander the Redskins but apparently you can't critically analyze what you read. It is SO biased so as to slander the Redskins that it should be an insult to any Redskins fan. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMK9973 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 This pissed me off. Ravens have a good year - It's the norm and everything they did is great. Skins have a bad year, and everything they did is wrong. Give me a break. Last year was the article about how bad the Ravens were doing it and how going FA route was clearly the right way? Don't give me the "Last year was the exception for the ravens" crap. Why? How about the year before that. The Ravens were ALSO 6-10 So from 1999 on - Redskins are 62-66 and 2-2 in playoffs Ravens are 72-56 and 5-3 in playoffs So clearly the Ravens know what they are doing, right? F that. Why is that the right time frame? What about what happens next year? This is just a moment in time. Some here keep meationing the Ravens SB 6 years ago. Ok. Well what if we did this compersion last year. 1999 -2005 seasons Skins 57-55 Ravens 59-53 2 game difference! Over 6 seasons! WOW! We should be JUST like them! Give me a freakin break....

pjfootballer Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 What about this quote, which I personally found interesting:"The entire vibe about that franchise is top notch and classy, from the way they embrace and reach out to the former Baltmore Colts in town - you should hear ex-Skins talk privately about how they have been treated by their franchise since The Squire passed on - to their relaxed air." This is the only part of the whole blog that disturbs me. Only 2 players Arrington and Bailey have come out to say that our organization treated them bad. The Ravens had an internal war going on in the locker room last year. I'd like to see proof other than the 2 players I mentioned, that hate the Skins as a whole. Every year players aren't satisfied with certain teams wether it's money, playing time or personal. Sheet happens. It's not like we have a revolving door of pissed off players every year. I'm sure the Redskins embrace their former players too. I'm sure Sonny, Art, Riggo and company can walk through Ashburn anytime they want. The Ravens as a whole are only 10 years old, so their actually legacy is former Browns, but they had to erase that when Cleveland kept their name and history. So the Ravens need a link to the past, so they are good to the "old" Colts because they hated the owner for taking them away and didn't blame the players. I don't like that this guy insinuates we aren't a classy organization. That bothers me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
