Did I deny that? I only stated the ultimate result of what you're doing. You're more than welcome to continue thinking that you're the hardest rooting Skins fan in existence. Also, you don't know what I or any of the other folks here do while watching the game or how "focused" any of us are on "Fantasy Foosball".

Nfcbeasts4721 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If your in the position your in to hope for them or them to win ya probably don't belong in the playoffs first off..secondly in no way shape or form am I rooting against the redskins just because I will not root for Dallas to have success in any way even if it means success for the skins...old school style ..take care of business keep the petal to the metal in division games kick some ass take some names and beat ur ass again in the post season!

CBass1724 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I think betting on sports over the years has desensitized me to rooting for teams I despise. That includes watching the games and actively rooting for teams I hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your first point for the most part. But in our case, it is what it is. lol If we somehow played sleeper and squeaked our way to the SB, I'm certainly not going to denounce it or anything by claiming we didn't deserve to be in the playoffs. It's been proven that WC teams can make moves if they get into the dance. Far as your second point, that may not be your intention. But it's technically an indirect result. If the Cowboys winning, means success for the Skins, and you're rooting against the Cowboys, you're rooting against the Skins. Or at least you're rooting against a possibility of their success. I'm not saying there's something WRONG with it, just calling it honestly. I get it. I wouldn't have much room to talk. I didn't watch the Dal Det game, for this very reason. I went to bed and hoped for the best result for the Skins. Ideally we'd all love for our ticket to the Playoffs to be punched based on our own dominance. And one day, it will be. At least, as someone who's never witnessed a record better than 10-6 in my lifetime, I certainly hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was 6/7 my grandfather was watching football, boys skins. I asked who to route for and he said against the cowboys. I thought that meant for the Skins, so I learned about them and became a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Absolutely I was rooting for Dallas. my favorite team is the Redskins. Whatever the reason, the Skins were aided significantly by a Dallas win. I want what puts the Skins in the best position. I personally find it odd that someone wouldn't want what's best for the Skins... but I'm not in their head following their thought pattern, so I probably just don't understand.

Dixieredskin Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 We honestly could have easily beat Dallas twice this year. I want to beat Seattle and get another shot at them. I think we get em in the divisional round given the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 5 hours ago, Bang said: Definitely,, ,, i would find it hard to consider a person a "fan" if they did not want what is best for their team. And if it means the playoffs via a Cowboys win, well, go Dallas! I again I asked if anyone would watch the game and cheer for Dallas. I did not ask if we needed Dallas to win would someone still root for Dallas to lose. This thread has passed its shelf-life because some of ya'll just aren't getting it, but that's okay, I don't feel I need to re-validate my fandom over a misunderstanding like this.

TheGreatBuzz Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 We should develop a scoring system to determine how much of a fan someone is and then have competitions here. Edit: sorry. I have no clue how that got so big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemocystem Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 37 here...i can never cheer for anything Dalla$$ does positively. however, i can cheer really, really intensely for the other team to **** up! that's my angle, & i'm sticking to it. i can hardly cheer on another team i like...let alone anything the Cowpies do positively. anything. like...i was probably the only person who was hoping Zeke destroyed his ankle while jumping into the charity bowl. yes...not ashamed...AT ALL. this horrible person roots for a meteorite impact anytime they play...even when i'm there. so yeah...**** Dalla$$, way to go Detroit...you did just what we needed you to do.

Ashburn Dave Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Anyone putting their hatred for Dallas ahead of the Redskins making the playoffs is a fool and not the ultimate Redskin fan. Reminds me of some on here that are happier when we beat Dallas twice each year than what our record is. In other words they are just as happy if we go 2-14 as long as the 2 are Dallas wins. Just stupid. And I'm in the 50+ years category. Reminds me of 30 years ago when I started playing fantasy football. Would not draft a Cowgirl for nothing but then one year I ended up with E.Smith and he won me a championship. I have been able to tolerate Cowgirls ever since if it works to my advantage.
