Why do I keep reading that the Panthers did a good job in free agency when they took a step backwards???? Their line may be a little better but they lost their best playmaking linebacker. The Redskins filled every hole. How do these writers keep their jobs?

Ok, so let me get this straight. The Redskins seriously upgrade their WR corp, a major weakness late in the season, even though they still were within 2 games of the Superbowl. Drop L. Arrington and his big contract, who was only on the filed during about a 3rd of their games. Sign a serious pass rusher at DE and a slobberknocker at Safety and they are losers in FA?!?!

These guys are all jealous because their favorite teams won't spend money.
Also, someone please tell me how getting T.O. makes you a winner, when I am sure this same media guy talked about how bad a person T.O. was at some point last year.

T.O. was signed to a 3 year 25 MILLION$ deal

so this guy is hating...on the redskins for spending money on proven team players focusing on our needs.... and absolving the cowboys who released one crazy but talented receiver, and signed another even-crazier and talented receiver.

yeah, i refuse to post anymore about this guy, he's obviously smoking somethin.

These guys kill me when they call Archuletta the highest paid safety in history.

They totally lose perspective. The entire contract isn't guaranteed and more than likely he'll restructure the deal somewhere down the line.

Hmmmmm?

Maybe this is why these scribes write about the Redskins the way they do. To get us talking!

Otherwise, this is a semi-almost comatose period for the B&G. We've made our FA acquisitions, and are waiting for 50+ picks in the NFL Draft preceeding ours, then waiting for the second day of the Draft, then waiting a long, long time for the start of TC!

Washington -- The Redskins' cap situation will be their biggest obstacle to improvement this offseason. Even if LaVar Arrington is cut after June 1 and counts just $5 million against the 2006 cap, Washington still will have to shave another $15 million off the anticipated $95 million cap. Bottom line? It'll be tough for the Redskins to land the top-notch No. 2 receiver they covet.

Yeah it was sooooo tough to land that no. 2 receiver. Even harder to land two!

12thMan · 03-21-2006, 01:28 PM

....furthermore, every off season they talk about how we'll be strapped for cash and we'll have to purge the roster for the upcoming seasons....amazing how this hasn't happened yet!!

More ninnyism, from Redskin hatin' ninny's. Is it hard to see why they write a column (such as it is), rather than actually have to produce something, or be accountable for their work? It must be rough to be WRONG, ALL the time. I have to fall back on the recent comments of John Clayton, Mel Kyper, etc. "In 06' the skins will have to be reckoned with", they will be THE team to beat in the east, if not the NFC". They are "DEFINATELY much improved with their FA picks

The only thing that will shut these mediots up is winning a Super Bowl.. Until that happens then we will continue to be subjected to all of their Snyder, Brunell and Gibbs bashing..

You watch: the moment we win the Super Bowl, the only thing you'll hear is how Dan Snyder bought a championship.

MTK · 03-21-2006, 01:47 PM

ho-hum, same old cap hell theory at work yet again

CooleyFan · 03-21-2006, 03:30 PM

I hate reporters. We can't win in their eyes. We got to the playoffs, and WON in the playoffs.. still...HATRED! Even if we win the Super Bowl, there is still going to be a way for these numbnut mother****ers to bash us. Hey, if we have to spend a billion to get the trophy, then we do. Hey! Thats a lot of respect there. Hey Mr. Lombardi.... we spent 30 billion, just to get a trophy with your name on it! Bottom line is... if we win the big one this year, some reporter is going to say.. .and mark my words people...

"wow, they bought a Championship... "

Regards,
Very angry at reporters.

PSUSkinsFan21 · 03-21-2006, 01:57 PM

Yet another biased writer that doesn't know half as much about the Skins as all of us. What else is new? I've said it before, I'll say it again: who cares what this moron has to say?

All I care about is wins and losses. The NFL isn't a popularity contest. They don't give points or championships for being the media's favorite team. And any polls, opinions, or "expert" commentary has zero effect on our team's success.......so screw 'em.

redsk1 · 03-21-2006, 02:04 PM

I'm beginning to love all of the hate. The fact is, that it will most likely provide even more motivation for the team to win the east next year. You have to understand where its coming from. These guys pick the wrong teams annually. They pick based on biases & emotion. So, it will come down to what happens on the field next year.

JoeRedskin · 03-21-2006, 02:04 PM

I really want to start a sticky thread where all these guys Redskin predictions can be posted. No reply or discussion - just a resource for news articles from the media gathered under one thread. Maybe subcategories under the newswire forum: (1) Predictions, commentary that Skins will fail, and (2) Predictions, commentary that Skins will succeed.

As for Banks article, it's simply pointless to comment on it. First, as I have consistently said, the intellectual dishonesty and inconsistency of these SI writers irks me beyond all reason. Banks says it's okay for the Titans to overbid for Givens b/c he was a need even though he may not pan out as a No. 1 WR. Yet, we had a need at the No. 2 WR spot and got the best we could having to out bid the hometown and local discount. But, of course, sooner or later, we'll pay for all this; the world will end; blah blah blah. Same sh** they have all been saying for years. He did add a new twist, w/ another ever so subtle jab at Gibbs. - Despite Gibbs promises to "right the ship" Gibbs will abandon the team to its cap hell. Okay, you believe that Mr. Banks - you have been so accurate in your previous predictions of the Skins impending cap doom.

BTW - How does Baltimore avoid the worst list?? 10M signing bonus to a 30 year old DE with back problems and signing Mike Anderson to a big contract days before resigning J. Lewis (a similar back) to a big contract??. Meanwhile, losing C. Taylor, Maake K (a great pick-up for Carolina acc. to Banks). And, in the great QB derby, the Ravens signed who?? What needs have they addressed? Why did they not do more to retain those they have lost? How have they exercised financial planning in their signings? What is their offensive plan? Their defensive plan? How do their actions accomplish those plans?

The inconsistency by Banks is just mind boggling. Does he even proof-read his crap? I mean really, what is his criteria for choosing good and bad? I think the legitimate way to do so is to ask, for each team, the questions I went through with the Ravens. But, of course, this is time consuming and simply too much work for the national hacks. Instead, it's read the headlines and shoot from the hip.

Banks article merely confirms that the internal memo referenced in my signature actually does exist.

Bottom line: Only way to shut these idiots up is to win and do so consistently. Until then, they can continue to say - "well, for all your spending, you still don't have a consistent winner."

So let's get this dynasty rolling and flip them all the finger after we win our 4th Superbowl in a row.

P.S. - Despite the pointlessness of it, I apparently had considerable amount of commentary concerning the Banks article. LOL.
