Where is the negativity???
 
I swear, when we lose, this is the busiest site on the web! When we win, 80% of the forum members disappear. Where are all those doubting, pessimistic, realists? I'm beginning to think they actually do enjoy misery!

Anyways, I thought this team played alot better this week - naturally since we won! However, there are things that concern me. I wasn't particularly impressed with Mark Brunell in the first half. He certainly started off quite cold! It was a good thing that our running game was so effective!

As much as I HATE Brian Baldinger, I found myself agreeing with him about our lack of aggressive offense toward the end of the half! We certainly had time to move down the field and at least get into field goal range. I was kind of scratching my head on that last series of the first half. WOW....guess some of those pessimistic realists were wrong about me seeing no fault in Brunell and Gibbs!

So here are the positives from this week:

1. We didn't collaspe in the fourth quarter.
2. We didn't turn the ball over.
3. We got pressure on the QB.
4. We ran the ball effectively.
5. We scored 24 points.
6. Our defense only allowed 7 points.
7. Our kick coverage continues to get better.

Negatives from this week:

1. Brunell is losing his accuracy a bit.
2. Brunell nearly gave up the ball for a TD the other way.
3. Taylor Jacobs was non-existent.
4. Poor playcalling toward the end of the first half.
5. John Hall isn't the John Hall we got from the Jets anymore.
6. We seem to have at least one personal foul called on us every game.
7. We still committed more penalities than what I am comfortable with.
8. Offensive line needs to be more consistant with solid run blocking.

Gee, a blind optimist listing more negatives than positives! Does that mean I'm a realist? :woot:

So to show my true colors, I'm going to continue to say that I am not predicting anymore scores for the rest of the season. When asked, I'm just going to say, "I just want the Redskins to win the game!" I think we have a great shot at beating Arizona and please - for Pete's sake WE HAVE TO BEAT THE DALLAS COWBOYS! I have had it with these Cowturd fans jawing with me on another forum board. They kept whinning about not getting to watch Cowboy games in this area (because they'd rather whine than to find some other means to get the game on tv.)

Sorry, I'm going to bring a dose of optimism here and say we beat the Cardinals and the (McNabb, TO, and Westbrook-less) Eagles. If we win either of the Cowboys and Giants games, we go 9-7 (which I think is likely). If we beat both the Cowboys and Giants, we go 10-6 (which I think is unlikely). I still have faith...which, apparently means I am a blind optimist.

I think some of us just seek solace with others feeling as angry/frustrated as ourselves after a defeat. others just dwell in negativity and will find something wrong with everything that happens. It's hard for some of us after the past dozen years or so to really enjoy the moment when the team does something well cuz we might be afraid of getting too excited only to be dissapointed, but a majority of us keep coming back cuz it's our team no matter what even if it is just to vent. :httr:

In fact, those who bitch ,cry and moan about what Brunell isn't doing and what Gibbs should be doing will be quiet for the entire end of this season. The Redskins feed off of adversity. They wait until their backs are against the wall and come out slugging. Next at bat, Sean Taylor his targets Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin.

I'm just happy to see progress. We had a hell of a schedule and may still very well end up with a winning record. Don't forget that every non-redskin fan predicted us to have an awful, dismal, losing record this year.

Re: Where is the negativity???
 
I think I am just the opposite, I am so pissed after a loss, I have to keep clear of posting due to I will get into some serious controversy because the shit gets so negative. The Chicken Little the sky is falling shit drives me crazy especially how competitive and much improved this team is from last year. I have to admit I agree with the facts and that turnovers have killed us in most of our close games, and some other minor issues. Yeah it may be a long shot that we win out, but I be damn if I am a fan get on here and say my team sucks, the coaches suck, we will never win another game, etc... As long as the team plays smart football and continues to be aggressive they can win out. True it was only one game, but just have a feeling that we may surprise some people and keep those negative fans in a hole for a while or until an individual who messes up brings them out of hibernation and not a team loss where they bash the whole team and even find away to blame someone from the previous years for the loss or why the team is so horrible.

This is what I see. We have four defeats to AFC West teams and two to NFC teams. I have watched the Giants and Cowboys every week make the same mistakes if not more than we have made and lose close games. Here are five reasons we will beat both of them.

1.Drew Bledsoe is a breathing statue, who will be live bait for our defense now that the Walt Harris era is over. Bledsoe threw only one TD against our defense with the homefield advantage and if Carlos Rodgers can be as consistent as he has been we should finally force some turnovers and great field position.

2.Eli Manning has been stinking up the place for the last two weeks. He has only one away game to the 49ers. He will not win in D.C. He is flustered when there is enough pressure placed on him which causes him to throw off of his back leg and make mistake after mistake.

3.Antonio Pierce thinks he has this team figured out. But watch what one week of sleepless nights will create. The Redskins will beat the Giants deep. Brunell has to go after Curtis Deloach who has been burnt so many times Coughlin is considering checking him into the burn unit of hospital.

4.Rock Carwright and Mike Sellers will have the best performances of their careers. It's time the no-name players step up.

5.The twelth man will determine who goes home a loser. The Redskins are the team that can beat the Redskins at this point. That meeting Gibbs had, ironed out most of the problems, now the real lesson will be put into action against the New York G-Strings and the Dallas Cowbitches.

Re: Where is the negativity???
 
I figured I'd beat the negative nellys to the punch on the playcalling and Mark Brunell. Overall, I am quite optimistic that this team can finish 10-6. I would at least like to see 9-7 even if we don't go to the playoffs. That means progress has been shown - and if we add three more games next year, that could mean a division title and battling for homefield advantage.

Just want to clear the air on Brunell. I'm not hatin' on him. I still think he is our best chance at winning. I just hope we can see him burning it up the last 4 games! ;-)

That Guy 12-07-2005 05:12 AM

Re: Where is the negativity???
 
we're definately better... harder schedule and we've even managed an offense... that said I wasn't happy that brunell reverted to 2004 form, and if any other team left 9 in the box every play i doubt we could have run for 250 yards, but luckily we got the rams this week and they stink. Its obvious why we're 6-6, we have some easily identifiable flaws, but on the flip side, we do have some play-makers and are at least capable of winning games against the better teams in the league. I wouldn't want to play the colts or bengals, but i'm up for anyone else.

I usually avoid the boards after games cause new members pop up to bitch and flame the existing members and then just leave once we win.

Re: Where is the negativity???
 
I'm not a big fan of the negativity myself, especially when those same people seem to go into hiding after a win. I'm here win or lose, as many of you are too.

While I understand people are more fired up after a loss, it is kinda disappointing that it seems some love to blast the team when they're down but have nothing to say after a win. Makes me wonder what it's like for these folks to watch the team win, is it a painful thing?

The original post said something about Brunell nearly giving up a TD, I'd counter that with at least he made a heads up play to toss the ball out of bounds. It didn't seem to be his fault to start with, he and Portis collided which knocked the ball loose.

Yeah, I said he nearly had given up the ball, but you are right! He did a heads up play by knocking the ball out of the end zone. I don't believe any less experienced qb would have known to have done that.

But I do hope Brunell can sharpen his skills for the last four games. I believe all of the games are winnable, with our hardest games being played at home. We have a strong chance at ending at 10-6, which would thrill me to death!

Worst game of the year for Brunell?

The Rams game?

He posted a QB rating of 104.5.

Nah, definitely his worst game was against the Giants. He truly looked like the Brunell of last year. Throwing the ball high. Throwing it behind the receivers. Throwing it in the dirt. That one was painful to watch.

Sounds like my chief complaint this year was the same as the veterans on the team--they were not going in for the kill. Too many 4th quarter leads were evaporating because they were playing not to lose rather than cranking up the score. Looks like they might have fixed that this week.

ALL the remaining games are winnable. Now it's on the coaches shoulders to have them as ready to play as they were against the Rams.

We have three games that we lost because the other team had a couple of long runs so as long as we are making the plays who cares. Our passing game is hurting because we only have one WR to worrie about. Even though Patten & Thrash did not have high receiving yards teams had to account for them and that helped Moss get open more.

FRPLG 12-07-2005 09:32 AM

Re: Where is the negativity???
 
Where is this "Brunell played poorly" sentiment coming from? Our game plan was to attack with the run and use the pass for third down. He seemed to play rather well within the scheme and minmized mistakes, which is his main job in that scheme, that could have derailed everything. The safety was a complete disaster but it is hard to place blame on him alone. Let's not forget that he is severly lacking in the WR dept right now. Moss is geting doubled and tripled since we have no one else capable of contributing. That makes attacking with the pass pretty hard.

Re: Where is the negativity???
 
You and everyone else out here can complain about the lack of aggresiveness on a Gibbs coached team. It isn't going to change one thing. This is the way he was, is , and more than likely always will be. If the running game is going crazy, like it was, its going to be more conservative. The fact the Defense was playing really good, was even more of a reason for him to be conservative. This is not college where we try and put up 40 points in the first half. A win is a win, fact is in the 2nd half we scored two TDs. thats when it really counts. We were up 10-3, the Rams couldn';t move the ball for crap. Why risk a turnover and give them a short field? Not going to happen. We had to crowd out of the game, the QB confused, its all about field position and we had it all day long.

I have to admit I'm guilty of mostly posting when the Skins lose. I think its because I use this forum to vent my frustration. I am optimistic. I do believe they can run the table. I find it easier to point out areas that require improvement. I was especially happy after this victory. I live in St. Louis and have to deal with these fair-weathered Rams fans. I always make it a point to go to the Skins game when they come in town. There were a lot of Skins fans in attendance, we were singing Hail to the Redskins in the end as always.

Southpaw 12-07-2005 11:18 AM

Re: Where is the negativity???
 
I agree that there is far more activity after a loss than a win, but there are several reasons for it other than misery loving company.

First of all, there are plenty of wins that have made the Warpath explode with activity. The win in Dallas on the Monday nighter is a perfect example. An unexpected victory over a hated opponent made us go crazy with joy. Why should anyone be overly excited about beating the hapless Rams? Yes, a win always feels good, but most of us expected them to beat a team who lost their head coach in the middle of the season, and is starting a third string quarterback, so there wasn't a whole lot to get excited about.

The losses over the last several weeks have been games we either should have won, or had a clear shot at winning. That's the main reason for all the activity after a loss. If Washington were to play the Colts, and played a good game with few mistakes, but just lost to the better team, there wouldn't be nearly the uproar as when they play the Raiders, and give the game away because of stupid mistakes.

And how is someone acting irrationally after a loss, with talk of dismantling the offense and firing all the coaches any different from people having us winning out, and going into the playoffs, when Washington just got their third win in 2+ months?

Second, yeah we had it, but it's a different ballgame if the Rams pick that fumble up in the end zone. Shit happens, and you have to expect it to. It's not running the score up, it's ensuring that if something goes wrong, you're still in control. Gibbs never coached when the 2-pt conversion was in the NFL, and I don't know if he's calculating the scores right. 17-9 is a touchdown away, and 24-9 is still only two scores. If Gibbs can assume his guys are going to play "mistake free football," then he should trust them to make plays. Why on earth did we not try to score before halftime? That's the kind of things that have lost us games in the past. Santana Moss should have touched the ball in the second half. Joe Gibbs' idea of not being conservative involves running a very improperly timed trick play, like a reverse to start the game or a toss-and-pass when we should have just run a toss, or a deep pass. No need to combine the two.

I still firmly believe that we have the talent and desire to go 4-0 regardless of what plays are called. The O Line is looking good, and that's what our success will hinge on.

paulskinsfan 12-07-2005 12:19 PM

Re: Where is the negativity???
 
Well, I'll lead the pessimist (sp?) bandwagon I guess. Im a hardcore fan, have been for 25 years now. Ive been there when this team had its glory years, and during these recent lean times. I rejoice and praise after a victory, and I rant after a loss usually out of total frustration. I think the reason I rant so much is because while I see the play of our team improving, Ive also seen the health of this franchise continue to go down the tubes with squandered draft picks and poor free agent acquisitions. This team is in real trouble in the next 2-3 years if the scouting department and draft selection "committee" are not overhauled. The problem I see, year after year, is that no one person is accountable for personnel moves. When you have a GM, you can fire that person when draft picks or free agents don't pan out. When you have a "committee" that includes the owner, the owner's best friend, and the head coach, no one's head is going to roll when you sign a Brunnell to a highly inflated contract and give up a 3rd rounder. I want accountability, and as much as I love Snyder's passion for this team, I hate his ignorance and his refusal to bring in a GM. So, if Im a pessimist, then so be it, but I consider myself to be a realist who is very, very concerned about the team's future and its lack of young talent.

I only thought Brunell started off kind of cold. I think he was like 0-4 or 0-5, but I thought he got better as the game progressed. Certainly nothing was wrong in regards to his ability to manage the game. However, I believe for us to run the table in these last four games, Brunell is going to have to play his best football.

I don't believe talk of winning out is irrational at all when you look at the teams and the locations in which we are playing. We can beat the Cardinals on the road, the Eagles are sunk, and both the other divisional games are at FEDEX. There is a great opportunity for us to be 10-6. We have already proven that we can beat the Eagles and Cowboys, now we just have to prove that we can stand up against the Giants and beat the Cardinals - a team we should beat.

I believe there is a world of difference between the two.

The GM thing isn't up to Snyder right now. If Gibbs wanted one, I find it awfully hard to believe Snyder wouldn't bring someone in. It's Gibbs' call to make, and he is comfortable with the current setup.

I have respect for the fans who feel that if they don't have anything good to say about the team, then they just keep their mouths shut. I also have respect for those fans who always look on the bright side of everything so as to keep our spirits up high when we go through a rough spell. Lastly, I have respect for those fans who try to keep it real by realizing that there are both positive and negative things about this team.

I don't have respect for fans who only come here when we lose, and won't even try to have an open mind in looking at the big picture. They would rather argue with you and say you know nothing about football, which does nothing for moral. I believe that is one reason why we have a forum here. To not only support this team, but to lift each other up and keep us Skins fans united. That doesn't mean we have to agree with each other on everything, but I can't honestly find the logic in wanting to supporting a team in which only brings out negativity in myself; unless of course I took some kind of weird pleasure in being negative all the time.

I am a big supporter of the Redskins chances to make the playoffs. My Boys are fading faster than a Drew Carey punchline and the Giants can't win on the road. This division that looked to put three teams into the post season, might be lucky if it puts more than one in.

We play KC. You get Arizona. I can't cry too much as we get arizona every year and you already played KC.

Would be nice to get that extra home game like the Giants!!

[QUOTE=firstdown]You Want Negativity, our runner can't score TD's, Brunell's arm is going, our kicker has leg problems, our D's pass rush is no rush, the coach is in the ice age, we sign average players to block buster deals, we let go of Coles and 50/50, our owner sucks, did I forget somthing that people complain about when we lose. LOL Oh, the skies falling and the Indians won their court case and we have to change our name. I thought I'd throw in some new ones.[/QUOTE]


Don't forget about us needing a GM, and an offensive coordinator. ;)

Re: Where is the negativity???
 
[QUOTE=skinsguy]That is the big difference between you and several fans who only show up to dump on the team and nothing more. I have respect for the fans who feel that if they don't have anything good to say about the team, then they just keep their mouths shut. I also have respect for those fans who always look on the bright side of everything so as to keep our spirits up high when we go through a rough spell. Lastly, I have respect for those fans who try to keep it real by realizing that there are both positive and negative things about this team.

I don't have respect for fans who only come here when we lose, and won't even try to have an open mind in looking at the big picture. They would rather argue with you and say you know nothing about football, which does nothing for moral. I believe that is one reason why we have a forum here. To not only support this team, but to lift each other up and keep us Skins fans united. That doesn't mean we have to agree with each other on everything, but I can't honestly find the logic in wanting to supporting a team in which only brings out negativity in myself; unless of course I took some kind of weird pleasure in being negative all the time.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Redskins_P]Don't forget about us needing a GM, and an offensive coordinator. ;)[/QUOTE]I'll do better next time. I'm just allways amazed at how negative people can realy be and wonder how they make it in life. I know everything is not perfect in Redskins Nation but why always dwell on the negatives. I too which we were sitting at 12 and 0 like the Colts but one thing about the Skins this year the games are never boring.

I totally agree with you firstdown. We're just blind optimists.
