F...Ignorant, Panic-Stricken "Fans"

[MTRedskinsFan]

Just wanted to suggest that a happy medium exists between panic and a positive outlook. I've been a fan since the early 90's and cannot remember a more talented group of players, particularly on offense. Yet we struggle to pop the 20 pt cherry each game. That's a matter of coaching/play-calling pure and simple. Call it conservative or whatever - it is what it is. But I'm just saying that even though it's blatantly obvious this team won't be a real contender under Gibbs style of offense there's still a lot to love about the Skins.

I gotta agree with you.

It's a shame you didn't see our team in the 80's. I've been a fan since the late 70's, and we had some teams in the 80's that rank up there with some of the best ever.

Well I agree with the first line, but everything after "Yet we struggle" I completely disagree with

Welcome to the board though

How can you disagree with the statement that we cannot pop the 20pt cherry? Sort of like saying you disagree with a blue sky... after all we have not topped 20 pts in three consecutive games (two of them against less than stellar defenses).

I disagree that that's all on the playcalling and that it's blatantly obvious we'll never be real contenders under Gibbs style of play.

I think the "blatantly obvious" part was the most galling part of the statement probably
