The "I'm Not Freaking Out" Thread

extremely positive... the offense is clicking and will only get better. the defense is stopping the run (the most single most important statistic on D). mental errors and turnovers are things that can be corrected.

i can't believe the sky is falling for some of these fans- it's the first time in a while where we're not totally deficient in one aspect of the game. The last two losses have been dominated by the skins- the most important numbers (scoreboard) haven't gone our way, but how can anybody that watches football NOT see the difference between the team this season and ones from the past decade?

Here's some excerpts from chiefs fans after the game:

"This Washington team is the toughest group I have seen come in to Arrowhead in a long time. This game should give all of us Chiefs fans some added confidence in what our team can do down the stretch."

"The Redskins should go deep into the playoffs if they keep playing like that."

"They gave us a run for our money in our house. On a neutral site, they might get us."

OK, you don't want their respect? How about these from the broncos' messageboards last weekend:

"Washington's offensive line should get a gameball, even though they lost"

"Really was surprised how well Washington's d-line stiffled the Broncos!"

I have no problem with guys critiquing the team- we're far from perfect and have a long way to go before we're "elite." I also respect the more critical posters we have on the forum who post here week to week. What I do NOT respect are the posters that come around criticizing only after losses- you know who you are. You're the same ones who were calling for Gibbs' head after he benched ramsey. You also disappeared from the board after Brunell started rolling up the wins. And now that we've lossed to two solid football teams consecutively, you've popped back up to call out the coaching staff... only this week, the target is GW- who has been the freakin' man in DC.

Again, I'm not talking about the "regulars" who have questioned the brunell move and arrington situation- I'm calling out all the posters who disappeared during the wins and were just itching for a reason to complain about something.
