I'm all for optimism but I'm also a realist. For this Redskins team there are no "guaranteed" victories. None. |

Ok the words playoffs and guarantee never came out of my mouth - only yours. Im not buying superbowl tickets or planning a trip to Disneyworld to ride on Space Mountain with Captain Kirk. I said 10-6 seems doable. I do not believe that is crazy based not on the fact that we beat the Jaguars, but based on the fact of what the remaining teams on our schedule are looking like. So you tell me which of the teams below are not beatable, (notice the word beatable - i did not say which of these teams has absolutely no chance of beating the juggernaut that is the Redskins). Giants - twice Cardinals Titans Vikings Bucs Colts(by far the strongest of the opponents i am listing imo) Rams Cowboys - twice Maybe a split with the Eagles? If we beat seattle or sanfran that is just gravy. I dont know about you but i can pick 9 of those games as wins without feeling i am going out on a huge limb. Based not on the fact that I think we are great but only on the fact that they are not great either(minus birds, niners, hawks) which i pointed out. |

Re: Around the League: Week 2
The Vikings have reinstated Adrian Peterson and he is expected to play in Sunday's Week 3 game at New England.

Re: Around the League: Week 2
Man, the vikings press conference re-instating Adrian Peterson does not look good.

Around the League: Week 2
Apparently dogs, and grown women are not acceptable. Only four year old children. Smh. Edit: it seems like the public outcry over Rice and Vick was /is so much more than AP. Last edited by punch it in; 09-15-2014 at 07:10 PM. Reason: g |

Re: Around the League: Week 2
I'm sure it will happen and they'll get little to not flak about it. I mean they've gotten no bad press whatsoever about their cover up/sugarcoating Rice's situation.

what are they supposed to do? deactivate him until his trial, continuing to pay him to do nothing? have the NFL dish out punishment before the justice system has its say? do they completely disregard the legal system and kick him out of the league? is there a process for that that is fair as well as capable of pleasing the court of public opinion? this is why the NFL's move (back around when Vick got in trouble) to run as some moral police over their league parallel to the justice system was stupid. i, as well as many others, said it at the time (we can't say much now though, because you're attacked when you do.) it only leads down one path, and this is that path. the NFL is going to look super stupid when Rice wins his appeal for being disciplined twice for the same thing, all as a PR move. the league needs to reverse course. they're a business and they should discipline players of on the field issues and let the legal system handle off the field issues. there is no winning. there will be mistakes, uneven punishments, and situations that don't make sense. if they don't then their only other option is to way over discipline players. and i'll laugh my ass off when all these righteous redskins fans start complaining about how unfair it is one of our guys got a ridiculous punishment before being found guilty of anything. |
