brasi Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 It feels really nice ro see the Skins being SOLID. There were only a couple errors, they happen, that's why the games are played. Just a couple of years ago, we would have foun d a way to lose this game in the 3Q. I'm proud of the effort and the Skins organization.

kameuh 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. Art you have a concussion? You know this is par for the course around here. If we'd have lost several posters would need to be put on suicide watch, and the board would have crashed from 5,000 negative threads. That being said, with all the drops, no one can single out Hank today... Seriously though, a two TD win against the G-Men, even with room for improvement, is way beyond early expectations and a hellva way to start the 2011 season. :giantsuck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 agreed. people expect everyone to play perfect every game. Isn't that the truth. It's like if the Redskins don't win 56-0, then it was a sucky game and they are calling for benchings and firings. :doh: We beat the Giants, who have had our number for a long time, by 2 TDs, and it is STILL not good enough. It really does SUCK to come here after a game sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfanno9 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You wanna see negative? Check out a Giants discussion board: http://boards.giants.com/forums/4/ShowForum.aspx Nobody here is talking about firing the coach or the offensive coordinator or finishing last in the division. We're just nitpicking, which, I'd be willing to bet money, is what you'll see on EVERY message board with a winning team. The losing teams will be talking about firing their coaches, benching their QBs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick7423 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. We have been teased too many time in the past.And, I agree with the OP, lets savor this win, until next week. IT WAS A WIN AGAINST THE FRACKIN GIANTS FOR GAWDS SAKE! Enjoy!

NewCliche21 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Meh. You've watched the same team that I have for the past 20 years. It's GREAT to be a Redskins fan today, but I would love for certain players to play a better game. A good team focuses on the missed passes and the turnovers; the Cowboys focus on how successful Jerruh's last Botox was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortisBetts 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. hahha i was thinking the same thing but they couldnt have stifled that thought any faster. Great effort on both offense and defense although gano needs to hit so ******* kicks. 39 yards and 0-1 already? come on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You'd think we didn't just decisively beat a team that's embarrassed us for YEARS. Not just beat us...but embarrassed us. Usually on national TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Smile. What do you mean, Art, this smile hasn't left my face since the clock read all 0's. Thought my neighbors were going to call the cops for disturbing the peace I was cheering so loudly and singing Hail To The Redskins. There's always in a game, whether win or loss that there will be bad, but since none of us are coaching, I'm just going to enjoy the fact that we proved that we can hang and we can finish a game. Plus, as I said in another thread, WE SCORED IN THE RED ZONE!!! WE DIDN'T SETTLE FOR A FIELD GOAL!!! So yeah, I'm hoping I can sleep tonight.

21Knock_U_Out Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hell yeah, I'm stoked beat the giants.... By 14 points!!! Defense looked bad early but turned into a solid performance.

whatmeworry Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The threads aren't going to be 100% positive after a win, just as they aren't always 100% negative after a loss./QUOTE]True. It's usually about 175% negative after a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel__44 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I feel like I just had a Jessica Biel and Alba sandwich...but Reed, Trent, the other 4 on the OL were terrible. It's ok to be happy with a win and focus on areas of improvement...It's what the good teams do. You/we should get used to it, we're a good team.

DanDan Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I guess I haven't had the time to read the negative stuff. I sure enjoyed watching the mighty Giants fall though. Nothing but positive comments from all the talking heads I have heard or seen anyway. HTTR Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashburn Dave Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 A win is a win is a win. We won the time of possession game, the running game, the passing game and our defense kicked their ass. There should be no negativity posts for the week. Anyone that does needs to go back to optimism class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sean and Laron show Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Another pompous mod post calling someone an idiot for having a different opinion :doh: A win doesn't negate the fact that some players under performed on gameday. Diversity on a "fan site" should be commended, not frowned upon. I see lots of "feel good" posts on the front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
