dbtimsah Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Why when the Skins go on shopping sprees for new talent the press get mad. All the talks about buying a Championship start up again. Last year the press got their laughs when the Skins flopped with some bad signings and too many changes. Now, the Patriots spends millions in WR's and the press is elated? If the skins did the same thing they would be mocked. Therefore, I'm hoping what the press says is true. That timing of the offense will suffer at least the first half of the season, but this time for the beloved Pat's. Along with it, Brady will suffer due to the many changes (hopefully)! Thank God the skins upgraded the DB's because we do play the Pats this year too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinzOwnU Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 They get the benefit of the doubt because they draft well, they coach well, and they play well. Belichick knows how to get the most out of his talent, and schemes accordingly. I'm not convinced some of the coaches on our team can do the same...

You said it praise gibbs. This is what the masses on here fail to realize. If we start winning we will start hearing better things. There is no "media bias" against the Redskins when you were 5-11 last year and for the last 7 years have had one playoff season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revallenjr Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 They do not trade all of there draft picks for the next 5 years to get the top notch guys. And I hope they are rusty more than half the year, because we play them about the half way mark I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Even if the Pats are spending they are doing it wisely. Most of the guys they got like Moss and Stallworth are basically one-year deals. Unlike the Skins, the Pats didn't outbid themselves or anybody else to get the guys they got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did it without any top receivers. Why is it hard to believe that Tom Brady will tear it up with two of the best receivers in the league, while keeping everyone else in place?

CrypticVillain Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hmm lets see, the Patriots were one catch away from possibly winning thier 4 Super Bowl in 6 years. They had that game versus the Colts but thier WR couldn't catch a ball. So they did what any team would do. Try and get the best WR they can get. And they didn't do that they got 2 of them. I think you gotta prasie them for using common snese. As for us we get people based on thier name and not thier skills. Example that saftey in Chicago that we just traded. Anybody could tell that he was a system saftey but we got him becasue of his name. And he payed for it on the field and by the media. I am just glad that we didn't make a splash this year.

There is no "media bias" against the Redskins when you were 5-11 last year and for the last 7 years have had one playoff season. Ok how about how the media gives praise to the Cowboys they been to 1 playoff game in 10years and lost it but noone gets on them. In the last 10 years we been to the playoffs twice. So I beg to differ there is a media bias against the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they haven't won any of them. But still the media still hops on them like they win all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatSkins27 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 i think the only signing on tht team that will make any impact will be Thomas the OLB from the ratbirds....welker might do something in the return game..thats about it..R Moss's speed has dropped off a touch and without the work ethic his game will have suffered...bet hey the team was one drive from the superbowl so its not like they will be a bad team...now if they rely so much on those new guys and make whole sale changes because of them then it will casue them to lose a few other than that they will be a playoff team and the talent level in a few key areas make up for mess up they might make in other places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill me in please because the last game I remember them playing in the playoffs was against the Cardinals and they lost I think that was 96. I really don't remember any games other that.

It doesn't seem his speed dropped off much. Now that he is playing for a definite playoff contender his work ethic will rise because he knows he has a chance for a ring unlike when he was in Oakland. Welker might help in the return game but I do see Adalius Thomas having the most impact on that team, unless he follows the Raven trend which is leave Baltimore and fail.

They lost at home to the Cardinals in 1998. :laugh: They lost on the road in Minnesota in 1999. They lost in Carolina in 2003. They lost last year in Seattle.

The pukes haven't even caught a whiff of a divisional playoff game since 97 and they choked there too. In conclusion, the pukes suck. Anyone want to compare the skins and the Patriots since 2000?

Exactly. The media is nice to teams that are winning. And that only makes sense. If we had won the Superbowl last year would any media folks be talking about us giving AA too much money or overspending to get Lloyd or signing ARE to a far too big contract? No. They'd be saying how smart we were to get the pieces we needed and they'd be gushing about JG's eye for talent and ability to coach all types of player. Winning = good press.
