Thats rediculous and demanding apologies is absurd. Its arrogant, offensive, and wayyyy too premature.
Nobody's intention was to make hardcore Ramsey supporters feel they couldn't enjoy the win. Myself personally, I was hoping for everybody, for or against the QB switch, to enjoy the win. I didn't expect anyone to change their minds right away about the QB switch...although maybe to silence some of the crowd that felt Brunell's deep pass had left him.

It was a big, important win for us. It was one I had hoped would pull us together as fans. Unfortunately, that's not what happened. I'm sure in every win this team has ever had, there were things that could have been done better...but the point being made was that we picked up the W, despite how we went about in getting it. I think it makes it extra special knowing that we didn't have to rely on our Defense to score to pick up the W.

Those of us on the other side of the fense just get the feeling that fans less than thrilled about the QB switch were grudgingly accepting of the win, not necessarily happy we picked it up. If that's misread, I certainly apologize to those that this is directed toward. I would say 96% of fans on this board, myself included, realize there questions that need to be answered concerning our offense. I, myself, realize the last 4 minutes of the game doesn't solve our offensive woes....but it's a nice start towards solving them.

I do agree that it's a bit too premature to say the switch to Brunell is going to be a season long success. It might not be, but I'll welcome it if it is. I've said it before, I really don't care who the QB is, as long as we are putting up the Ws.

Great explanation, sums up my feelings as well.

I think its agreed that a skins fan should never be disappointed in a win. Especially a monday night win over dallas. That should be just as absurd to you as it is to me. I don't care if Jerry Jones was our QB, if we beat dallas, I'm extatic.

BTW, sorry to bring this garbage back up. I just dont get as much time to read it as I used to lol.
