Re: Why Keep Watching?

Even if you cant have a great season, you can have a great game. If we had lost those last 5 games at the end of last season, I would've still never forgiven myself if I had missed the end of the Monday Night Dallas Comeback game....

Re: Why Keep Watching?

I'll keep watching because I'm a Redskins fan until death. I've always loved them and always will. I've stayed through the Super Bowls and through the Shuler and Spurrier experiments.

I'm a real fan...not a selfish one or casual fan who goes out and buys a stuff from "whoever won the Super Bowl this year". I can't stand bandwagon jumpers and I also feel a fan who can't root for his team even when they're bad, isn't a real fan.

Hail to the Redskins. Forever.

I hope some of you hear that Brunell is starting against Dallas and we go out and beat them.

Re: Why Keep Watching?

You watch it just because you are a fan of the team through the good and the bad. The true fans hang around during the tough times....I will not miss a game!

It's just like passing a car wreck on the road.

You shouldn't pay any attention, but........ everyone looks.

Because a bad three hours watching the Redskins is better than a good three hours at work.

Re: Why Keep Watching?

Im certainly not as old as many of you, so I haven't been a fan that long. A true fan doesn't walk out on his team when the chips are down. I watch because despite the bad, this is MY team

Re: Why Keep Watching?

Our season is sunk, but I say we beat the Cowboys. We will have two weeks to prepare for them. A lot of our injured starters should return for the game. Our players will be hungry. If the 12th Man doesn't totally punk out and start booing on the 1st drive, I think we take the Cowboys.

I'm willing to watch the rest of the season just so I can watch our team try to sink other teams' playoff hopes. Misery loves company.

I'm watching the games because no matter how poorly they play, I still love the redskins and it takes my mind off my current problems for three hours.

So, my question to all of you is why will you keep watching this team this year if there are no depth chart changes (primarily at QB)?

I'll keep watching because win or lose I like to watch my team play, it's a fun diversion for me. And there are still 9 games left to the season. It's a small ray of hope but I still have it.

But that's just me, why will you keep watching?
Watching the Redskins is what I do. I stuck with them through much worse than this.

I'm less interested in seeing who plays QB than I am in watching what approach Greg Williams takes over the next few games. The defense is just plain bad right now and I am curious to see what happens in terms of both personell and scheme. I'm not sure I ever want to see A.A. play football for this team again. IMO, replacing him will do a lot more than benching Brunell.

I remember starting to watch when I was 5 years old and I won't stop even if I am 105.

Re: Why Keep Watching?

I'll keep watching cuz I can't stop watching. win or lose THIS is MY team. other sports prove nice distractions, but the skins have always been a big part of my life ever since watching my first game with my grandfather. There's always that possibility of watching something amazing and the possibility of watching a potential future team star get a chance to make it onto the field. Plus it also serves as a distraction outside of work and my day to day life. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment or maybe I just refuse to believe that the team won't be successful again, but I'll always be there rooting my heart out for them until either the team or myself goes under. HTTR!!!!
