The Gameday Thread: Philly at Washington

Wouldn't be shocked to see Trent back out there.

So if the skins can put up 3 tds, keep the eagles to just 3 points, they win! it's simple.

exactly!!! No sweat.

Its hard not to blame rex...he's throwing Ints bad routes getting people injured etc....underthrowing wide open guys..

[skinsfaninok]

I expect beck to play soon

[WilbursHomie]

I went to UF and our Gators QB looks like he has a mental disability out there. Mean while, a Seminole Kicker is the only one showing up. Even when we score it's insulting me.

I'm a Gator, too. I feel your pain. And for the second game in a row, I could make one of your posts my signature.

One more INT and I wanna see Beck. I'm not saying i'm giving up on the season, or on the game, but the more games we play, the worse Rex gets. At this rate he will have 22 INTS and 10 TD's this year or worse.

He should have 2 more INT'S today, and one more of them costing us points.

The first INT I blame Kyle for too.. It's 3rd and Long, and you need roughly 4-5 yards for a FG to start the game. Run the ball?????

It's like we are watching the Patriots offense trying to play with Rex at QB. This is what it would look like

Fair weather fans. lol. I love that term. As if someone is a better fan then others. Perhaps the better fans can't stand to see their teams getting decimated like they are today. Can they turn this around after the half? Yes, but .... the team is going to have to make some huge adjustments cause what they are doing now is not working. If they "stay the course" the Skins will lose. I don't care at this point what they do.... put Beck in if thats whats going to make the rest of you happy, Roll whoever is at QB out away from the rush, how about using some screens? I think I have been saying all week to beat the Eagles the Skins should throw more screens, and slants. Instead they throw a pass to Cooley in the flat with no blockers. OOOOOOh that worked perfectly.

I'm all for doing that if the game is essentally over. Why? because again if Beck was any better then Grossman he would already have been starting. Aparently he's not and yet fans want to throw in second best?

A fairweather fan is not someone who simply wants to win, and doesn't think we will. A fairweather fan is someone who says "**** this team" just because we are down by 15 points with a whole half left to play. A fairweather fan is someone that is a negative the whole week, and then when we win they say "I knew it all along". etc..

I think that's a pretty narrow way of looking at it. Fair weather fans to me are someone who was never fully on the bandwagon to begin with. But like to jump on when things are going good and then completely trash the team when they're bad.

Just because you say negative things about the team doesn't make you a fair weather fan. Negative and pessimistic maybe.

But being a fan doesn't mean you have to constantly be a kool-aid drinking homer every week.
