RiverboatGambler Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The sound of silence. For this week our critics and doomsayers have been silenced and it feels great. I love it. More wins will provide even more weeks of peace and quiet from these negative nancies. We have our issues. Some of them big and some small. Some fixable this season and some not.I am just glad to see us make progress and I am excited for where this team is heading, not only this season but for the next several. Can i get an amen?

FuriousD Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Absolutely amen! There's been a high level of toxicity recently. Even from some of the more respected contributors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Amen. Lot of relevant negatives mixed in with the positives, but relishing the afterglow of a brilliantly exciting game of football too much to care. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbit Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Its only been a few hours. The young Robert will impart some fortune cookie proverb that will be put on a Tshirt and then taken out of context before too long Amen for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 RG3 is getting better every week and this team plays better when it has 0 expectations. Just like in the Gibbs years, this team did great things when it had 0 expectations. 1-4 is like last year 3-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yes looks like the offense is nearly where it should be. Defense has improved but is still sub par. Special teams are "special" in the wrong sort of way. Need to tighten things up if there is any chance he t week. No more freebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Robert wanted his team to make plays and he/his offense made every play necessary. To anyone questioning his leadership, there's your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 This team definitely has it's flaws but there is a lot of fight in them. Just happy for the win right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Finally a game which reminded us of last season, and, importantly, a win! Still think we likely fall to 2-5 next Sunday (provided Peyton stays upright), but at the very least we should keep it exciting, as well as stay relevant in the division race for a while.

StephenDavis Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 We played a great game. Everyone has to be ecstatic. People including me who were negative over the past weeks had a right to be. Hopefully that is behind us and we continue to play competitive football. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njxbean Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 We have two wins, against Josh Mccown and Matt Flynn. While the offense is improving each week i wouldn't say we played a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the offense is improving each week i wouldn't say we played a great game. Compared to the first 5 games of the season, this game was great. Not perfect by any means. But the enthusiasm and some of the swag from last year was back. That's what I'm pumped about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 We have two wins, against Josh Mccown and Matt Flynn. While the offense is improving each week i wouldn't say we played a great game. Weren't we leading 17-10 with cutler still in the game before he got injured...? Yeah, I'd say we played a great game. No offense to your comment or anything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 a-freakin-men it was a pleasure to watch nfl network and espn after the game. i'll actually watch Inside the NFL on Showtime this week too LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Nah......unlike the Raiders game, which featured a horrible Matt Flynn, you can't attribute the Skins victory today to Cutler getting hurt......McCown probably did better today than Cutler would've. One key play was Gould, who seems to be unstoppable from long range, missing the 30-yard chippie. If he had made that and the Skins had only been up 45-44 with 45 seconds left, the last Bears possession could've been a LOT more interesting.

While the offense is improving each week i wouldn't say we played a great game. And also, today's win wasn't because mccown was in the game. Our defense let him take the bears down the field almost every drive. Our final drive, we were down 41-38...if our offense doesn't score, we lose. The offense came up big, so I'm pretty sure that's called a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer_FFX Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Amen! Skins haven't provided much moments of joy this season, so am def enjoying this win!! In today's NFL you have to win a shootout now and then. Glad we finally have a real qb to give us a chance. For me, I also have some LOUDMOUTH Bear fan in-laws who wouldn't shut up before the game. Afterwards?? Crickets. Bwahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skins island connection Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 A win was great, but to say it silenced the critics is a bit of a stretch. Everyone was pulling their hair out watching McCown slice up the defense. For a defense that held the Bears to 47 yds of offense in the first half, to 300-ish in the 2nd half, thats not going to shut up any critics; Offensively, yes things were better, good to see RGIII coming around, but there's still alot of work to be done; Denver is next, and they lost to the Colts on the road, another good team; The Broncos are looking to make a statement this week to prove they're not on the downslide, so lets see how well RGIII plays. Moreso, just savor the flavor of this win, because it could get very ugly very quickly next sunday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
