clskinsfan Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 have no clue where the "gameday" thread is for tonight. And I am too drunk to look for it. But anyone that doesnt think Tom Brady is the the goat is delusional. 3 throws on that TD drive were incredibly special. Dak has been shaky. Should be expected though. And Micah Parsons looks lost. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPinstripe Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 12 hours ago, Alcoholic Zebra said: This is a little misleading. Defensive success put the offense in better positions to score points. If the D gets a Pick-6, that TD goes into the points-a-game stat. The 20.9 points a game we scored last year was 25th, but our defense definitely contributed to that. With a league average defense, I'm sure we'd be well below 20 points a game. Our defense scored two TDs last year didn't they? Dont see that making a significant impact to be down to lucky to score 10 points a game like he was saying. If we subtract the defense contribution from our team and others where does that put us? Lucky to score 10 points a game seems hyperbolic to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Jumping some games ahead, based on last night, both Tampa and Dallas won't be easy. We played Tampa last time without them having Vea and White. The last time I saw Vea against this O line it was ugly. Dak sadly looked better than ever. Good thing its later in the season. Do they stay healthy? Edited September 10, 2021 by Skinsinparadise 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't read their minds, you don't know that they were at home openly rooting against the team they care enough about to post regularly on a team message board just so they can post "I told you so". If they aren't as good as many feel they will be yeah I may point out in December that I was right in August. That hardly means I spent 4 months at home openly rooting for it to happen.

XxSpearheadxX Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I like the Sonny Jergenson method. Predict an accurate W-L at the start of the season, but choose them to win on the eve of each game. Best of both worlds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the same applies with others here but you never know. For me, it gives me so much joy to win and so much misery to lose, it would feel comical for me to root for anything to go bad with this team just so I could say i told you so on a thread. I root for every player even those I am not as high on. Also, the prediction-I told you so stuff to me is so hit and miss. We all get some things right and some things wrong. If anyone of us was Nostradmas as far as making predictions about players and or the team we then should stop what we are doing here and instead making millions doing this as a full time profession. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't lose. If we win and make playoffs, we break the Snyder curse. If we lose and suck, we have a high enough draft pick to get that qb.

I've definitely experienced times here on ES when some fans are almost giddy that the team or a player failed so that they can puff out their chest. However, if they are just as giddy to say they need to eat crow and were completely wrong--even if just for a game--I don't view them as someone who actively roots against the team/player just to say they were right. My litmus test tends to be: if a fan becomes angry and defensive when called out about their dire predictions being wrong, they probably were hoping to be proven right more than they were hoping the team would win. Those who take a "yeah, I ****ed up on that" attitude when they're wrong tend to get a virtual pat on the back, handed a virtual beer, and immediately forgotten and forgiven. That's most of us, usually. But there are some stubborn mf'ers as well lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wit33 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hopefully the Bucs vaunted defense getting sliced up in the pass game helps carve out more realistic expectations for the Washington defense. Still can dominate possessions against the elite, but extremely difficult to keep great offenses in control for the entirety of a game. My fandom hopes the 5-2-4 defense wrecks the league next season akin to the 4-6 in the 80s or the Ronnie Brown led Wildcat with Dolphins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will never believe a fan who cares enough about a team to post regularly on a message board is actually rooting for them to do poorly just so they can show up and say I told you so. I think that's utter nonsense. Now with that said if things play out the way I predicted before the season started, comments many people took issue with, I will point it out at the end of the year. But that hardly means I'm rooting for it to happen. That's just crazy talk. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we do have a pretty lengthy history, across coaches, of being the homecoming game for rookie coaches and quarterbacks. On the wrong side of a disproportionate amount of highlight reels.
