Phixius Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 What the problem is that everyone expects this team to be great, and dominate. Weeks later they get upset when they finally realize that they arent cheering for the team you want them to be. Redskins are not the better teams in the league. Could their record been better probably so, but after 9 weeks I come to the conclusion that they arent ready to take the next step forward, or havent prove they can Like Gibbs said every game will be close, other than against Detroit every game has. Everyone wants the Redskins to be dominate, and become one of the elite teams in the NFL. Well sorry to break it to you but theyre not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z0eboy Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I guess fans get sick of a losing team. They have nothing to cheer about. Why do you not go fire up the TEAM? Have them give us something to be positive about (hint hint PLAYOFFS). its just football man, the redskins making the playoffs is team success bragging but it wont make me less of a fan if they dont make it, on the other hand i'm not a bragging about the dolphins either :doh: i guess your right, its better to brag about a winning organization than a mediorcore one :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yeah this is Extremeskins.com, and I'm EXTREMELY upset with the product we have put out for the past 15 years. Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to have some EXTREMELY correct grammar and spelling once in a while. Ten exclamation points do not convince me anymore than one exclamation point would.

ozskin Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 People do have the right express their opinion, no matter how negative it may be. I think the thing that has to be remembered with these fans is that the heart is in the right place, they've just run out of patience. I think we would be all lying if we said we'd never thought or said anything negative about a player, coach or administration. It's part of being a fan. It's when people take it to the point of doing nothing but criticizing is when it's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryClarkFan Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 We as fans have an emotional investment in this team. I'm in my mid 40's and I grew up in the D.C Maryland area. I started watching in the mid 70's with my dad. I had all of the posters that the Washington Post put out on Sundays as well as all the other Redskins stuff. We weren't that good although we went to a Super Bowl but when Gibbs got here afetr that first season he established a standard of excellence. Everyone knows what happened after that, we go to 4 Siuper Bowls and we win 3. We were a respected team in the league, a blue collar collection of guys who played smart, tough, football. We were the model for success. Look at us the past 15 years or so. Disorganized, Erratic, no continuity in anything. I think if you have been following this team for as long as I have, you have a right to say what you will without it making you a fairweather fan. I love Joe Gibbs and I have been critical of this once great coach and still great man. I just don't think he has it anymore as much as it hurts me to say that. I hope he can prove me wrong because this is the man who made us a great team. I owe him that much respect, but he has to realize that maybe the game has actually passed him by. We who criticize aren't always fair-weatherd fans and you people should start to realize that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playboy1972 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 the reason that theres o much negativity is because DC sports fans are EXTREMELY fair weather. most wont agree with this statement because they wanna believe in their team. but u see on here and u see it walkin around dc...come monday, if the redskins win, ive got a skins jersey on, if they lose, ive still got a skins jersey on...mondays after losses i feel like im walkin around in dallas cuz u dont see a single skins fan... :eaglesuck :gaintsuck :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck I agree. I voice my displeasure but I continue to support them. The one's that change teams because their team is losing are the ones I hate. Just like this dude at my job claims he is a San Antonio Spurs fan. Claims he starting rooting for them when they got David Robinson. Yeah right mother****er! If I stop watching the Skins, I will stop watching the NFL. And that just won't happen. Go Skins. Snyder does suck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If you want some "Blind Homerism" come into the Gamethread chat every Sunday when the Skins play. Almost every penalty against the Skins I call BS on or start on a rant about how the officials are making up fraudulent penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor 36 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 you'll find a couple hundred threads like this one because this site is full of extreme fans that are sick of the skins fielding a crappy product.

I love the sarcastic "there are already threads on this" - you people suck as much as the "should we have gone for it on 4th down even though WE WON THE GAME...is gibbs a bad coach?" Go away.

The Dolphins can't fill the stadium with their OWN fans. There is always more of the visiting teams' fans in the stadium. You should have seen it down here for the Raider and Patriot games. The Marlins have two World Series titles within the last decade and they can barely get anyone to the games. The Heat are a different story with Wade and Shaq here but I heard it wasn't all that rosy before their respective arrivals. All the support will probably come to an end once Shaq retires. The Redskins are not the second most valuable franchise in the world because they have fair weather fans. Quite the opposite. Even the so-called fans that criticize the team support the team with their regular attendance at games and buying Redskin merchandise. Even the DC area Cowgirl fans come to the games in those putrid jerseys and patronize the Redskins with their ticket purchases. Win or lose, we will support our team and it shows.

SkinsFan48 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Make sure you come to the Tailgate Extreme Style at Al Lopez Park. will be plenty of ES there and many other fans aswell.. Amen, brother! We're going 16-0! .... well, 13-3 anyway. :helmet: And I just might see you in Tampa. I'll be the guy somewhere in the vicinity of the pirate ship trying to start up HTTR, even on field goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnyderMustGo Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 So we are supposed to be EXXXTEME!!!!!? Does that mean I'm supposed to drink Mountain Dew? Go sky-diving? Look, anyone who has put up with the last 15 years of pathetic results from this team and still is enough of a fan to spend their time here is an extreme fan of the team. Moderate fans would have quit wasting their time years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
