Are we still 3-1?

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-12-2005, 03:52 PM

Yeah, let the Eagles worry about the sky falling...

diehardskin2982 · 10-12-2005, 03:58 PM

I'm not in Doom and Gloom mode, but I do want us to stay in a standing good enough to get us to the playoffs. Like a coach I am alway looking at ways we can improve

Southpaw · 10-12-2005, 04:36 PM

I'm happy about 3-1, but as a long time Skins fan, I remember 3-1 a few years ago, and 7-1 back in '96 followed by a 1-7 collapse to finish out the season. And as much as I fuss about the LaVar issue, the things that worry me more are:

1) How much gas does Brunell have left in the tank?

2) Why has the defense steadily been giving up more yards and yards per carry on the ground, every week?

3) Dante Hall is going to tear us a new one if special teams doesn't get their act together.

1. He is winning now, so leave well enough alone.

2. You can't shut everyone down. The Defense is fine.

3. Dante will get his. Make sure that he gets 7 in a 28-14 Skins victory.

5RINGS, you're making it increasingly difficult to dislike you. Please post something inflammatory.

Seriously! 5Rings has been almost too nice. What's the deal?

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 10-12-2005, 04:30 PM

I don't think anyone is acting like the sky is falling (although I admit that I haven't read every post). I for one am very happy with how things have turned out. I was even pleased with our loss in Denver (I would have been elated had we won). But, just because we are winning doesn't mean we shouldn't have questions about this or that.

For some strange reason, people think that you must either be 1) completely 100% content with no qualms or questions or 2) livid about everything and pissing on every parade that passes by. Can we be a little more sophisticated and be generally pleased, or displeased, and make criticisms and applaud without being dubbed a blind optimist or pessimist?

BigSKINBauer · 10-12-2005, 04:35 PM

chad johnson was crying because he is 4-1, he said that 4-1 isn't good enough and that all they do is talk and don't execute. He was actually crying, the reporter was telling him that it seems to be very a very emotional issue for him and then he busted out the towel and wiped his eyes.

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-12-2005, 04:37 PM

What has our special teams done coverage-wise that's bad?

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 10-12-2005, 04:39 PM

Other than the blown coverage against Dallas (in the late 4th quarter), I think the special teams have done pretty well.

That was the specific play I was talking about. They have a tendency to give up that kind of play at the worst possible time, and Dante Hall is possibly the best return man in the league. There's a good chance he could cause some trouble.

56FAN · 10-12-2005, 04:52 PM

i guess what i was trying to say is don't freak out,yes , it is true there are some issues,(goalline run offense, getting turnovers and sack and ect..) but what i meant to imply is that don't forget in your analysis, to enjoy and appreciate the progress. you don't get pissy when some one who is learning makes a mistake. you understand and hope they make the changes that need to be made to get better ie.. the skins. an over simplifaction i know but you know what i mean. maybe i misread a tone i was picking up on.sorry for anyone i may have botherd.

Who would you have bothered? You didn't call anyone out or make a crazy statement. Thanks for being apologetic, but there was nothing to apologize for.

The problem is the Skins have been kicked around for a LONG time now, so anytime we get a little taste of success, I honestly feel that a lot of people don't know how to handle it and they revert back to what they are used to doing, and that's bitching and moaning.

I'm not trying to be a dick, it's just how I see it.

SmootSmack · 10-12-2005, 10:21 PM

It would have been cool to have a site like this back in the 80s just to see the disagreements people had with Gibbs's decisions as he put together Super Bowl teams
