Chris Simms -- played like a Hall of Famer

[BDBohnzie]

Simms played to his potential. He has the tools and talent to be a good quarterback. Not having Griffin and Taylor hurt, however that is no excuse for getting burned several times in the secondary, when everyone knows that the primary target on that damn offense is Galloway. He should have been doubled all damn day.

As far as overreacting, beemnseven, you are doing that. Every dog has his day, and Simms just happen to have his against the Redskins. That'll happen. However, you stretch to say a true fan overreacts to a loss. A loss is what is is...a loss. You learn from the mistakes and move on. The entire team made mistakes yesterday and the ultimate price paid is the loss. I won't overreact because the Skins showed me the heart yesterday. To comeback from 14-3, and 21-10, and be in it til the very end...this scenerio doesn't play out the last few years. This team will be pumped up and ready to go against the Raiders this weekend, and this loss just fires them up even more.

However, Simms by no means played like a hall of famer. 51% completion, 279 yards, 3 TDs isn't HOF Caliber. The last 3 weeks, he's thrown for 264, 259 and 279. It's simply playing to potential.

For the last time, I was speaking figuratively. I am not saying Chris Simms belongs in the Hall of Fame.

And since when is it a crime to overreact? You and mooby call it overreacting, others call it bitching, pontificating, I call it blowing off steam after a gut-wrenching loss. Now that I've had a really good night's sleep, I'm over it.

On with the Raiders.

I was meering using your title to counteract...whether figurative or not.

Never said it was a crime to overreact either. You make mention of being a true fan, one has to overreact, and again, I used your words to counteract. No hard feelings, just stating opinion.

I believe we have a can of whoop-ass with Oakland's name on it. It better get opened this weekend.

Simms has a long way to go before they are carving his bust in Canton.
