Our offense is Pathetic

As fans, not excluding myself, we tend to hear what we want to hear. The first half, there were many compliments about JC and how good he is with his decision making after he scored that run TD. He defended him when Woodson some how came up with that "interception" and said it was Moss's fault.

I only remember Woodson intercepting 1 ball and sharing the catch with Randle-El. If anyone made a mistake on that play, and it could have gone either way - it was the refs for not calling it a catch for Randle-El.

Plus like I said, even if what you are saying is true - he doesn't say too many good things about the redskins without saying something bad (to sort of negate it).

Maybe because since Aikman starting workin the booth the Redskins have pretty much sucked every year??? We've stunk out loud for the most part since 1991. Should he just make up nice things to say? You think Aikman would have been "negating" his positive comments if he was calling the Detroit game last week? I doubt it. He repeatedly complimented our defense yesterday. I offense didn't deserve any credit, and he didn't give us any. Fine by me.

I see your point, I just do not like the idea of listening to a ex-great Cowboys qb commenting on an entire redskins game. There has to be some bais in there, it's only instinctive.

And I do not want his cowboys bais affecting what I think of the redskins - no matter how controlled they seem to be.

No, it was Moss's fault. If you touch it you must catch it. Moss deflected up in the air, woodson and ARE came down with it, and for some weird reason the refs gave GB the ball.

Like I said, he said many negative things about the Cowboys as well, he trys not show any lean toward any team. They try not say too many good or bad things about either team. Remeber, Packers as well as Redskins fans watch the game. Fox doesn't want to lose either fan-base and I am sure they strict commentators on how much they can praise or critisize a team. I am talking in general here, not just Aikman.

My fault in forgetting how Moss had his hands on the ball in that play. But it still doesn't change my opinion about Aikman though. Can't help but feel with the way he comments that he is biased against the redskins, but hides it enough to make it appear that it's not that way. But that's only my personal feeling about it after listening through some of the redskins games that he was part of the broadcasting on. I just noticed after those games that I felt negative about the redskins and then I realized that he was on those games. I put 2 and 2 together and then I paid attention more to what he was saying during the games and felt he was the reason. But that's just me.

LOL...yes you are right, weeks before the game, Aikman searches and researches info on how to make the Redskins look bad and ruin Redskins fans day. During those commercial breaks, he goes "muhahahahah".

You won't believe how many threds were locked and how many members were banned because of their comments about Aikman following a Cowboys @ Eagles game. I didn't like either commentator yesterday, Simms or Nanz. I, on the other hand, believe that it had alot to do with the scoreboard than the commentators themselves.

Sorry but I'm not talking about a cowboys or eagles game. I'm talking about the redskins games that Aikman is a broadcaster on. Because you think that about the commentators for cowboys or eagles games doesn't mean it proves anything to me and I will change my mind.

Actually the fact that Aikman did that much sucking up to the eagles to appear unbaised makes me question his integrity more as a broadcaster.

I know exactly what you're talking about and have made several comments on here about Aikman's commentating, but have always been met with strong resistance for some reason. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

I really can't argue with that at all. Many of those same accusations were made against Thiesman, and his alleged bias against Dallas when he was a commentator.
