elkabong82 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Time for some humility on this board. So let's see it. Who is man enough (or woman enough in some cases) to admit they have been wrong in the past on here? I'll start it off obviously: 1) In '06 said we were playoff bound 2) Thought we would draft DE with 1st rounder in '06 3) Made a bet about our team that resulted in a "board beyotch" avatar for a month 4) Thought Lloyd would be a good pick-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAfan47 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I made a bet with a fellow friend of mine that JC would have a better TD to int. ratio. then Romo sits to pee also that Moss would have another 1300-1500 yard season and make the pro bowl again...

hail2skins Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 In 1981 I wrote a letter to the Skins front office demanding that this loser Joe Gibbs who had us at 0-5 be fired immediately, and that he'd never amount to much of a coach............... :jk: Seriously, I didn't see much chance in hell in 2005 of us putting together a playoff run after the OT loss to the Chargers. There's a poster skinsfan1010 who has a blog in which he kept insisting that things were going to shake out fine and I pretty much just laughed. Well.............. After ST's death and the Buffalo double-timeout fiasco, I didn't see us getting there this past year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I made a $50 bet with a friend of mine, who's a Cowboys fan, back in September that the Skins would not only make the playoffs, but also win a game in the playoffs. That one still stings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkabong82 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 5) Thought Tags would get in to HOF this year 6) My '07 mock draft (though I did say trading out of the 1st would be our best bet). 7) Thought Saunders would give us a top 10 offense.

JustAfan47 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I bet a giant fan that CP would have the best season of his career in 06 and well...we all know what happened to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Besides the obvious lol... I thought Ramsey would turn out to be a solid starting QB... I thought Gibbs would never retire before his 5 year contract was up... I thought Brunell was gonna suck huge in 2005... I thought the Skins were gonna do some damage in the playoffs at the beginning of the 2000 season... I thought Lenny P was just blowing smoke out of his ass when he said we were gonna draft Jason Campbell a week before the draft... I thought Antonio Pierce would not be missed very much... I thought Rod Gardner would go on to have a decent career after he left here... I thought Archuletta would go on to have a decent career after he left here... I thought bringing Al Saunders on board would cause our offense to explode... I thought Brad Johnson would never do as well as he did here after he left... I thought Stephen Davis would never do as well as he did here after he left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hmm... where are the "I thought we wouldn't make the playoffs after losing to Buffalo" and the "I thought the D would be terrible after not drafting DE in '07" people? They were so vocal back then. C'mon guys, fess up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAARedskin Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I was wrong about Eli Manning. When he was drafted, I thought he was incredibly average, and that he could never, ever play in a Super Bowl.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I thought Lloyd was a good pickup, and he'd be a solid number two for us I was hoping we could somehow draft Joey Harrington :doh: I thought Arrington was a great player unfairly criticized for being out of position all the time (prior to Gibbs arrival) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skindogger47 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I thought Sean Taylor would paralyze someone before his career was over. But Im not eating crow for it.

Hiro Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 When we added Randle El and Lloyd at receiver and Saunders as our offensive coordinator, I thought we were going to have the "Greatest Show on Grass" or whatever, with Clinton Portis putting up Marshall Faulk like numbers. :doh: I truly believed that Jason was going to have a Pro Bowl/Breakout year in '07. While he had a decent first year, fact is I set the bar way too high. After our debacle in '06, I thought the guy we should've been gunning for was Jamal Anderson, and while I didn't mind us picking Landry, I was a bit upset we didn't choose Anderson. One year later ... :laugh: I didn't think a playoff run was even conceivable after our display in the Buffalo game following Sean's death. While I was proven wrong, that game still hurts to this day ... I thought Romo sits to pee was going to regress and prove to be a one year wonder. Meh, he still sucks anyway ... By this point in time, I thought that Matt Leinart was going to be an absolute stud in the NFL, while Jay Cutler would turn out to be a Patrick Ramsey clone. Eh so far ... :doh: That's all I got so far, my brain's pretty dead right now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes Like Chicken Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Add me to the Arch Club. I almost bought an Archuleta authentic jersey. :doh: I remember emailing a video to all my family- the video where AA is flinging dumbbells up in the air with his fingertips, and bouncing up off the ground during push-ups and landing the opposite direction. None of that seemed to come in handy for the personal punt protector. At least I bought the Cooley jersey instead of what could have been, the worst jersey purchase EVER.
