Art Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The Redskins just beat a division rival in a great home win for us. It was imperfect, but, rather than starting threads complimenting the defense, calling out Davis for his excellence, thanking Cooley for showing up or really, fixating on the numerous positives, there are threads questioning whether Hightower underperformed, a get rid of Reed thread and a slam on Williams. People. Smile. It's ok to. There will be darker days. Don't put the clouds up in front of the sun for no reason. We won. Go yeah. Try it. You'll enjoy it.

Destino Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 wasn't perfect?! Maybe not but it was great! I'll take this kind of imperfect game every sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarhog Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Amen. And it's not just confined to ES. Redskins fans don't know how to feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 But, don't you understand???????? We're Redskins fans. It's what we do after every game. We figure out who to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien1191 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I'm not necessarily a fan of them, but this is a message board. The threads aren't going to be 100% positive after a win, just as they aren't always 100% negative after a loss. No harm in having 10-15% of the threads having a "negative" connotatioin if its promoting a discussion about weak points of our team, win or loss.

Destino Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Amen. And it's not just confined to ES. Redskins fans don't know how to feel good. They also don't know what good QB play looks like. If I hear "bad Rex" during a 100+ rating performance again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mayor Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Amen to this. The Giants have won 6 in-a-row. Be happy we won. So many negative Nancy's. Especially the second half. The Redsins defense plyed great. Including Reed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxJoe Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 No kidding! I couldn't make the game because of a business trip and I read the score and how we scored and I'm ecstatic about the victory! Then I read the play by play and saw that Ryan Kerrigan had an INT for six!! And then I read on and saw that Chris Nelid, our Nose Tackle, by-the-way, had two sacks!! A nose tacke had two sacks!! That's amazing! Now, it looked like poor Rex got sacked quite a few times, but he came back and fired first down passes. In short, it looks like we had a pretty good game plan and the Skins executed quite well. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles mannley Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I just read the OP's post in the Doughty thread. I couldn't agree more. Everybody makes mistakes and the good teams find ways to over come them and they did that today. Hail Yeah. But I have to admit after the first two three and outs followed by a blown coverage I was kind of like (sigh) Same ol skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hey, I tried to do my part and started two positive threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 How much more positive can you get than banking on Reximus Maximus putting up 500 and 6 next week against the Cardinals obviously incapable secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfanno9 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Oh believe me, everyone on these threads jumped up and down, screamed and cheered their hearts out. That doesn't stop us from noticing things that are wrong. That we use this message board to do that is just the way it is - it doesn't imply that people aren't thrilled and excited. I don't see anything wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annonymous Source Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 No Art. I refuse to feel good about the fact that our team is 1-0 and undefeated in the division against a team that we hadn't beaten for 3 years. I would rather meaninglessly overanalyze the process of the game. You cannot stop me. I will continue to feel down and there is nothing you can do about it.

Morneblade Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Absolutely. We beat a team that has OWNED us the last several years. And we did it going away. We put the nail in the coffin, instead of alowing them to come back. When was the last we time we won going away? From a division rival? From the GIANTS? Hell, after giving up that first TD to them early, I was half expecting them to pack it in. But no, they got up after getting a bloody nose and won going away by 2 TOUCHDOWNS. Defense was all over Manning. We blocked a kick that would have made it a 4 point game and THEN took the ball and cramed it down their throats. Guys, it might not have been a perfect game, but dammit we got a 2 TD victory over a team that has had our number for years. And they went out there and took it to a very physical football team. Enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SittingBull Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 People ALWAYS need something to ***** about. Our defense could have shut out the Giants and there would be some complaining about how the corners are too far off the WRs or some other BS.

TSO Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 But, don't you understand????????We're Redskins fans. It's what we do after every game. We figure out who to complain about. Possibly our greatest fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
