bulldog Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Everyone's real disappointed," said Brady, who completed 25 of 38 passes for 289 yards. "It's more disappointment than we've had in a while because we really feel like we should have won." ___________________________________________________ The Patriots were behind 20-3, never lead in the game from the first drives, committed 4 turnovers including 2 ghastly interceptions and Brady thinks they should have won? :laugh: Brady and Co. are just lucky the Redskins are still feeling their way and learning how to win in the NFL. A veteran team would have buried NE and built on that 20-3 lead to a 35-3 result I wonder what their excuse will be when they lose again next week?

Gamebreaker Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Most players say that when they come into a game underestimating their competition. That whole team gave off an aura like they were going to win regardless of how many players were on IR. Denial is a funny sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a_good_brotha Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Brady's mad because the "tuck rule" didn't come out this game. That would have been the only way they would have won. Brotha aka Bro Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEastNCFan Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Brady 25 of 38 for 289 yards. I see no mention of the 3 ints. he threw. You think that may have been part of the reason they lost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Guys, they did come back and it could have very easily have been New England with a record of 3-1 and us in sole possesion of 3rd place with a record of 2-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleSteve Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Originally posted by NorEastNCFan I see no mention of the 3 ints. he threw. You think that may have been part of the reason they lost? Well, they wouldn't have been interceptions if the receivers had been in the right places at the right times. Remember, as Leon says, there's no I in TEAM. There's no WE, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get the point. Yes, that could have happened. But, read bulldog's post again. Given those circumstances, it seems incredible to say that you SHOULD have won the game. They had the good fortune of having an opportunity to win, but, if you make that many mistakes, by no means SHOULD you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeCarl Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 if you make that many mistakes, by no means SHOULD you win. Weren't there a lot of posts on the board last week to the effect that we SHOULD have won the Giants game? I think we can empathazie with the Patriots this week. Sometimes you lose some games you should have won, and sometimes you win some games you should have lost. I'll take that W from yesterday and run like a thief. There've been plenty of times I felt the Skins should have won but turned the ball over enough to manufacture a defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 the patriots "should have won" less than we "should have won" vs. the giants. we outplayed new england all game. they marched down the field twice vs. a prevent to make the score more respectable. that's all. at least in the giants game we had a legit chance to win that game by getting inside the 20 down by 3....

SonnyJ Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Yeah, TC, but NE didn't have any points pulled off the board due to a non-sensical holding penalty. They didn't extend a Redskin TD drive on a 3rd and 29 due to utter stupidity. They didn't get knocked out of FG range for taunting. These are all unforced errors that didn't require a lick of play from the Giants (even the holding penalty). And had an upwards swing of 14 points against the Redskins. Not to mention the OT where the difference between winning and losing could have been the simple toss of a coin (but, we don't know if the Skins would have scored had they received the ball). So, yeah, there is a degree of difference. But, I'm with ya on taking them whichever way I can get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmythehair Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 N.E. did have a chance but, "Should have won?", Brady needs to get a grip. Their are games I thought we should have won (The Giants game as an example), but the bottom line is you are as good as your record. Should have doesn't get you into the playoffs or get you rings.

Atlanta Skins Fan Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Brady is a great QB ... but in about 5 minutes LaVar would make him his b!tch. I half expected him to run off the field with the ball after those INTs. Not the expressions you want to see in a leader. Ramsey, on the other hand, doesn't have an ounce of backdown in him. You could come at him with baseball bats, and he'd shake it off, stand up and start firing deep again. I like our guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I like our guy too ASF, I like him ALOT. How nice it is to finally be on the other side of comments like these. Seems we've been reading those kind of soundbites after loses for WAY too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Blazers, I'm not sure where you would expect receivers to have been to prevent those interceptions. Did you see those interceptions. In order for the receivers to have been where they needed to be they'd have had to transported themselves magically because the Redskin defenders were the only people who had a real shot at any of those passes. Of course, since you did add the Leon thing, I think my meant to be funny so I'll leave it at that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 The score should have been 28-3 at the half. I don't know what Brady's thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Art, that was an attempt at humor . Being a coach, I find that commercial hilarious. Some of the things I've heard after games are much in line with that. Then we watch the film and reality rears its ugly head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 TennesseeCarl, I NEVER intimated that the Redskins should have won the Giants game. In fact I noted that the Skins were outplayed through 3 quarters and were lucky to be there at the end to have a chance to win in my postgame thread here. what counts is who wins the game. obviously the Patriots had high expectations for this season as did the Jets. their tumble from the top rank of teams has their players and fans looking for scapegoats and excuses. Yes, Pennington is out for the Jets, but does that mean the team can't win ANY games? Remember last year that the Eagles secured homefield and played 8 or 9 weeks without McNabb, starting AJ Feeley. So, I don't want to hear any more of that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey T Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 In addition TC: Your SigLine sucks. I know you THINK you are a draft guru, but give Vinnie a break. He is by no means Dano's *****, same as you are not Art's ***** ;-) Just give the FO a break this year and lighten up! Enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
