ronnix Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 please some insight. i live here in tennessee, retired, and miss my redskins. so tired of the titans. i now have directv, and really interested in spending a lot of money for the sunday ticket. my only reservation, is the skins offensive line, looks so bad on paper, and performance the last couple of years. we have no off tackles, especially with chris samuels now getting dinged up often. thomas is always hurt early in the season, and rabach is just not big and strong enough to solidify the line. still, we updated the defense, receivers, and with a little more time i believe jason will be a success at qb. i watched him excell at auburn his junior and senior year. of course, had big tackles, and two great rbs in ronnie brown, and carnell williams. should i take the plunge? thanks ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Do it. If money is an issue hit up the local bar and watch there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 No matter how bad the 'Skins look to you, you should never ask whether you should watch them or not! If you can get them on TV, I say do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimpey42000 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I watch the Skins' every chance I get, given the circumstances. Your inner fandom is telling you take the plunge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I do it every year! No matter how good or bad they are. I would implode without the Sunday Ticket. I also sit there and watch every second of every game. I usually have a house full of people and they know that when the Skins are on, no one else is. When the Skins are off, then it open game, as long as there is not another NFC East matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Tomb Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm of the mind that your allegiance to the Redskins, no matter what the state of the offensive line, should be your guiding factor. Imagine if the offensive line dominates this year and you aren't able to witness it because you didn't get Sunday Ticket. Thank God I can watch Redskins games for free.

Conn Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 You mean even with the cash to spend on it, you wouldn't watch unless you knew we could be great? That's not cool. Now if you couldn't afford it.....no. If you are willing to spend that at all, then it should be to watch your team. There's no way of knowing how good or bad we'll be.

HawaiianTime Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hey Ron, at 72 and still willing to pay the extra $$ for the NFL ticket just to watch the Skins is a testament to fanhood. Now, I'm not sure if you meant to say and really NOT interested in spending a lot of money for the sunday ticket, but at 72, I'd say you've worked hard enough to enjoy yourself. I'd get the DVR to go along with it so you can pause, rewind, and SloMo at your own leasure. If you can afford to go with the HD, do so. You can literally see the individual blades of grass. Enjoy your football season. I want to hear screaming and yelling coming from Tennessee, give them Titans hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorhead Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 You only live once. I have the "ticket".You get to watch every game. Almost any way, who give's a **** about the Titan's. I have season tickets to the Skins also. Just go and do it and enjoy. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzalez_p Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I live in Florida. I paid for Sunday Ticket last year and thought it was great. However, I get free basic cable and its not worth the $80 per month that I pay during the offseason. Do the math. The teaser rate they offer when you sign up is usually good for a couple of months then they lock you in for a couple of years. I've got Direct TV and am seriously considering getting rid of it.:eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royallypwned Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I wouldn't do it. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIXX99 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 My local affiliates show the titans too. But I have the Sunday Ticket, it is worth every cent that is paid for it every year. I don't get the game mix channel or that stuff but the basic package is well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 What kind of question is this lol? We can't get the Sunday ticket because there are too many trees in the way to get direct tv and cutting down trees in Incline Village Lake Tahoe is a huge No-No cause it's a protected forest area. My brother in-law (Vikings fan from Minnesota) and myself go to the bar (which can smoke cigs in too which rules) every Sunday. We all call it going to church and the entire bar is displaced fans. Since i quit playing club soccer at 18 (our club games were on freaking Sundays and involved travel to many places in Maryland when we weren't playing at home in manassas) i havent missed a second of Redskins football. I dont even know what i would do with myself if i had to miss a game. Def do whatever you can to watch Redskins football. Most seasons we only get 16 games too which is just too damn short.

Soup Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I would do it, but if money is a problem you can always get it through torrent The Hard part about that is waiting a day or two until its up and also not trying to hear the score from anyone.

Zazzaro703 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 The Hard part about that is waiting a day or two until its up and also not trying to hear the score from anyone. Like others have said and myself just go out to a sports bar. You meet great people for the most part and also get to watch any game you want while the Skins are between plays or at a commercial break. This also works out for Fantasy football. I know going to the bar costs money too but get something to drink or eat and if you dont have much money just nurse the hell out of your drinks even if its just a coke. We got on such good terms with the bartenders and owner of the bar we go to that we don't even have to order anything if we are short cash one week. Or we can go into the "black book of debt".

paintrain Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 So as a fan you're asking if you should watch your team? I am not sure why this is even a thread. I've never lived in the DC area but have not missed one Redskins game as an adult. I've either had the Sunday Ticket or been at a sports bar for every single game, unless I was fortunate enough to attend it. The status of the offensive line should have no bearing on your decision!

NoVaSkins21 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Despite all the issues the Skins have from top to bottom, there isn't a team I would follow more than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
