Redskins vs. Bengals Post Game Reaction

[JoeRedskin]

I hate coming here the day after a loss. Sorry, the sky is not falling. We are who everyone thought we are. A deeply flawed team with spots of talent. We have lost our best defensive playmaker. Our line, like many others in the league, has suspect talent and our D-backfield has major issues. Our major free agent pick up has been inactive due to a freak foot injury.

RGIII gets hit. A lot. He's incredibly tough and is not whining like a bitch - like a certain QB in Philly did last year. He's going to be bruised, but it's clear he is not made of tissue paper either. He will be fine. Sore, but fine.

The refs suck and make it hard - and dangerous - for everybody. Boycott all NFL products, gear, etc. until the refs are back. Watch the games, go to the stadiums, but buy NOTHING extra. Talk to them in money folks - then the owners will listen.

MS and KS are here for 2 more years after this season. Deal.

While the records aren't better, I still believe the team is better run than in the Snyderatto days. It's year 3, however, and being better run needs to translate into wins.

We were down by 17, then 14 and, yet, is there anyone here who, in their heart of hearts, didn't think "RGIII might just pull this out yet!!" As we reached the 20 with less than a minute to go? We may have lost the last two, but dammit - we had a playmaker at the QB position who will - soon enough - pull games like this out of his ass.

Losing sucks. But so does the rip, shred, burn it down attitude of this board the next day and the Debbie Downer's coming in here and saying "I told you so" as if rejoicing in their correct predictions of our failure.

Rant over.

Nah, but the focus will shift to next Sunday's game and away from yesterday. Damn you for drawing me back in before Thursday!

I totally support your boycott idea. But it has to be accompanied by a letter. We have to write to inform the powers that be of our boycott so that they know for sure that their decreased revenue comes from a discreet cause.

I am very optimistic about rg3 but there are some glaring problems here. We are in the midst of what might appaear to be our third five win season in a row. This on the heels of 15 years of - well- crap. So just out of curiosity - at what point is it acceptable in your mind to take our super fan capes off and become upset with the product we are putting on the field?

It might be our 3rd 5 win season in a row (though I still doubt it), but this year was going to be a tough one by any stretch of the imagination, simply due to the nature of the schedules. We know division games are tough, We know AFC North games tend to draw bruises and blood like the old black and blue division of yesteryear, and NFC South as well is a top notch division across the board.

Again, everything sounds like an excuse the day after a loss, but this schedule was known and commented on long before the season even started.

You know what? You may be right. We may win just 5. At the same time, who the f*** knows? You want to believe that. Fine. Bitching here won't fix them. I choose to believe that the offense will score enough to win more than 5 games.

Upset with the product? I get f'ing upset every f'ing time we lose. I bleed burgundy and gold when they lose. I used to come here looking for solace and someone to give me reason to believe that there was some good sh**.

Does our backend defense suck? Yup. Do Polumbus and Black suck? Yup? Of course there are glaring problems. Does it take a rocket scientist to figure them out? No. Are KS and MS going anywhere anytime soon? No.

Does any of that brilliant and depth analysis, half of it down with an "I told you so" attitude, give me any reason to feel better? No.

I'm not drinking kool-aid - I see the flaws. I just have enough in life to bring me down - tell me a reason to have hope.

I come here to cheer the Skins. Suckage or not.

Why is it every year Skins fans are told ahead of time that the team won't be a playoff caliber team and then when the season starts and we lose a couple its a surprise, 'fix this, fix that' situation because to them we're supposed to have the 72 Dolphins team.

No the question is .....why every year are we told were not a playoff team??? Lol. Than these in- fights start. Field a damn winning team more than three times in 20 years and this wont be an issue. Im a fan. A customer if you will. Im allowed to be upset if my product fails. Upset at the individuals whose job it is to fix it. I mean in the question you pose you are implying that it is acceptable to be told every year this is not the yeAr. Efff that!

Fair enough. Im not an i told u so fan. I dont need to hear that crap either. We all want to win. I will root for the skins whether we ever win another game or not. However just as the people that ONLY want to bitch piss me off so do the ones who say " thank you sir may i have another". Lol. I understand that moaning isnt going to change things but it is good to vent and sometimes maybe an " i hear u - we looked god awful and we need to change things AGAIN" would be better than acting like it is the "doom - sayers" fault we lost and directing your anger at them instead of the organization.

I am not looking to pull any plugs. ( well maybe hasletts) and i understand that this current regime is cleaning up a huuuuuge mess. Im just asking the question - how long does shanallen have in your minds before you expect to be told "ok folks this year we have a shot at the playoffs?"

I think next year we'll be in the playoffs. Right now the perfect team example is Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers took over in 09 and went 6-10 in his first year, which right now looks like the direction we're headed in. The year after they went 11-5 and lost to Arizona in the playoffs. Year after that they went 10-6 and won the super bowl.
