I criticized a writer for criticizing the Redskins after a Week 1 loss in a way that only would have made sense before it.

I understand that you need to backtrack on what you said because I called you out on your overreaction but you need to explain what the following means. Because to me that's you saying that it's too late to predict doom because you're observing it (in bold).

But if you were going to predict doom for this team, you kind of missed the window where that's a prediction and not an observation.

People were down-ish on this team in the preaseason, but no one I read picked them to finish below Philadelphia.

DHall certainly engages in a lot of gamesmanship, though with regard to the Jackson play, that was not gamesmanship so much as it was making a dirty play to try an injure a guy. At least that's the only logical defense for his play.

We brought Hall back, so we just have to live with the negatives that we signed up for. 1 bad 15 yard penalty down, 6 to go.

Sometimes I think you actually believe what you post, and sometimes I think you just post to troll some of the people on these forums that support and enjoy watching D Hall. This time, I can't really tell.

It's obvious when you watch the play that D Hall got out run, and his only chance of making the play was to grab anything he could hold on to.

If you've ever actually played football.. It's not as easy as you think to make a split second choice on when to let go, or when to hold on..

If you actually think D Hall tackled him in that matter to hurt him, then you seriously have observation issues.

We lost one game fella's, and I know it burns a bit but all of you couch coaches talking about how our coaching staff is bad, and we need to replace (insert player who had a bad game here) or RG3 isn't what he use to be..

Well, you guys need to breathe and step off the cliff.. There is 16 games left, and even though it seems like the handful of you want this regime to fail just so you can act like you knew you were not talking out your ass. We are the DEFENDING NFC EAST Champions..

Just saying...

There are people who still support and enjoy watching Hall? What kind of troll targets a dying section of the fanbase?

I don't understand all the hate DeAngelo Hall gets. He's not a top-tier corner in the NFL; far from it, actually. But, as of right now, he's our best option at corner and our best defensive back. Would you really rather have Biggers, Wilson, or Amerson covering the other team's top receiver? Hall can be stupid and/or boneheaded, but he also has his good times: shutting Dez Bryant down, picking off 3 passes last season, returning a fumble for a TD in the opener... And he's only making 2.25 million, so he's not preventing us from signing a better corner. He may well be gone after this season, but he's our best corner right now; instead of complaining about him, maybe you should be thankful Wilson or Biggers isn't starting.

That made about as much sense as half the other shit you post.

... And to those that think that the eagles just softened up at the end and just let the Redskins get close- take a close look at the Eagles defense in the second half. They were blitzing up the middle like there was no tomorrow. I wouldn't describe that as soft.

I feel like we need to make a new thread section for all of these guys who have all this roster, coaching, gameplanning, and inside information.

Just call it "The Couch Coach Central"

Make Gtripp and Goat the mods of the thread section so they can negatively speak about how bad the Shanahan's are every week, how D Hall eats little children, and how our O-Line couldn't block a FCS schools defensive front.

I wouldn't need to post in there.. I would just want to continue reading it to get a good laugh every week.

This has to be the first time in the history of this site that someone said The Goat has a high opinion of the Redskins
