Focus Your Negative Energy- Pats-Cowgirls Thread

[freddyg12]

Bit of a silly debate here. Tom Brady will have to start sponsoring dog fights AND bet on nfl games to not make the hall of fame at the rate he's going.

On a more positive, perhaps delusional note; Dallas has a bye after next week's Minnesota game. The vikes are no pushover, but it would be a pretty major upset if they beat the pokes. I'm dreaming of an upset!

And while they're at home on their bye week, they watch the Skins upset the Pats!

It is crazy, but I am being sincere when I say this, I will be rooting for the Skins when they play the Pats. I hate cheaters and a pussy who is more concerned about being on People magazine.

You should remove that Cowboys helment avatar without hesitation.

LOL...I did hesitate as I was typing it and when clicked "Submit Reply". I am sure as soon as the ball is kicked, I won't have the same feelings. What would be perfect, which is the most probable scenario anyways, the Skins D whips NE pretty good, but the offense, as usual, comes up short and lose the game.

What is this debate about? Brady is a HOF qb. End of story. Is he a bitch for not taking big shots or is he intelligent enough to know that his team needs him standing upright to be successful...? I'm putting my money on the latter...

All I have to say after watching the game is that we can count on 3 automatic losses between the two teams. With our decimated O line and Santana out to lunch this season, no way we beat NE and we will be swept by the Boys. It sucks but that is how it looks as of now.

That's the spirit, Gus! Way to focus that negative energy!

Do you actually think that in our present state that we can beat the Pats or Cowboys? I mean if we came out of GB relativey healthy even with the loss I could have some hope. But we took some losses there that might take a bit of time to heal and a bitch of a AFC road trip coming up. I just don't see it JW.

I was referring to the thread title, really--it was supposed to be a thread to make s feel better!

As for the injuries and our chances, I think our D can keep us in it with lots of teams. And they seem to have found a good D against the pass, which is the main weapon of both dallas and the Pats. But, needless to say, we're going to have to stop the run against both these teams--not a real worry against detroit or GB. We'll see. My guess is a split against dallas, and a loss against the pats. But win the games we should and 10-6, 9-7 wildcard is very much in reach, even with a patchwork line. I know this team has blown games in the past. But I feel better about the team this year for 2 reasons: one, Campbell, and two, the D. My point is that I don't think throwing in the towel, or even writing us off as unable to beat the cowroids, is warranted at this point.

[GusFrerotte]

JC is awesome dude, but Santana and co need to get on track, and our O line is decimated. As of NOW we can't beat the hottest teams in the NFL.

This thread is kind of pathetic - it reveals that we're so bad (and we all know it) that rooting for losses elsewhere is all that's left. When I tried to watch Dallas-NE it was too depressing. I can picture the scene two weeks from now when we fail to score a single TD against NE and lose by 40 or 50 pts... Gibbs, completely outwitted and outclassed, staring across the field at Belichick w/ all his players respecting him and showing it in how they play. And then thinking ahead to Dallas, a team not anywhere in the league of NE, but still on a much higher level than Gibbs and Co. I hope there's a shakeup sooner than later, whether Gibbs retires or Snyder starts firing people, it's never too early to start the new era. For one thing, if the front office continues to be totally incompetent and the offense plays like a bunch of pussies, we're likely to lose Campbell to a much better team. There are some very good reasons to make the big changes sooner than later.

I think we played a really tough game against a good team. It's a game we could have and probably should have won, but didn't. In spite of the loss, we have several positives to take from the game, we are 3-2, and we still have 2/3rds of the season ahead of us. Plenty of time for us to get on a roll.

Should we be happy we lost? No, of course not. Should we slit our wrists, call for everyone to be fired and predict 0-11 the rest of the way? Even more absurd. Season's not over, not by a long shot.

You remeber Tim Rattay when he played for Miami (the U) and he looked great because of the system he was playing in. Where is he now? He was just like Brady never wanted to get hit. Yesterday, I saw more than a couple of passes that could have been completed if he would have steeped into the throw like a man, delivered the ball and took the hit. Instead he would throw it short or away. I LOVE football because it is a manly game, the game where you leave everything you got on the field. If I wanted to watch grown up men getting scared of getting hit, I can watch soccer all day long. Manning, Palmer, McNabb (even though I hate him), Warner...etc. will stand there and deliver. No Guts, no glory.

Yes, I am the guy who think the NFL is becoming too soft with Fair Catch, no touch afer 5 yards, and too many tackles being called as un-necessary roughness. Within 10 years, the NFL will make it mandatory for the players to get their nails polished.


That is why I said the bottom line is Dallas lost. No excuses.

will do.

I love this shit.. you know as well i as do if brady was a cowboy you would only have good things to say about him. point is everybody and there brother could have picked him even the cowboys.. remember he is a i believe a 6th rounder so dont hate him....lol

I probably shouldn't but....

Given your signature, MT, does this post really make sense?

If this is "sharing your courage," I really hate to think what your fears are in this context!!!

My opinion: you are over-reacting to a 17-14 loss at Lambeau. We've got a top-10 defense, an emerging young QB, and an offense that, out of 10 halves of football, has played badly in only 2, really. We're getting better. It's not the smooth process we'd all want, but it's there. No, we are not an elite team. But we aren't shit either: check out the Rams, Falcons, Jets, Dolphins, Saints, and Bengals, for a start. Those teams have good reason to moan. We don't, not yet anyway. When did skins fans become so pissy, nervous, bitter, and insecure? Have some heart and stick by your team, at least here at 3-2. Or, if that's too much for you, just change your name to MTPatriotsFan and go cozy up to Belicheck. And then when, down the road, they run into trouble (all teams do), you can jump on whomever else is the new hot thing.

Or just keep your fears to yourself.

Love your optimism but seriously dude, it's not happening under the current management. We're not anywhere near a playoff caliber team after 5 games and what's the point in spending oodles of cash on coaches and players if the playoffs look like a longshot? Shit, the only team playing worse than us in our own conference right now is Philly. Dallas will kill us and from how NY has rebounded I think it's real likely they will sweep us again this year.

Somebody needs to start a thread discussing the best coaching changes after this season - or maybe even during this season.
