BTW, Spurrier was not a bad NFL coach, he was just misunderstood.

Heh, I has on that forum earlier. One poster compared the redskins to the new york yankees, claiming that the team has the most talent as well as the highest payroll.
That team will soon be in salary cap hell (a la the Titans) and they don't have much talent to speak of anyway. Gibbs will retire, Brunell will retire, and they've traded away most of their first round picks the last 5 years. Poorly managed team.
BTW- what was most eye-opening was their lack of depth. Probably the worst second stringers I've seen in a while. Our second team OL completely blew them off the ball.

Oh brother.
Let me get this straight now. The only reason the Skins lost was because they were treating the game like training camp drills??!!!??
Oh, and also they weren't going full speed.
In other words, they just weren't trying.
Ok. Gotcha.

So what happened to all that talk of how this was such a must win for them after performiing so poorly in the other 2 games?

Wow! Are they in for a surprise this Fall.
Not to mention the announcers stated that this game was the last game for most of the starters as next week teams will be playing a lot of players on the bubble. I guess Washington is on a different schedule and next week they should see a difference in their play. Ah, such confidence after a 41-0 schalacking.

I saw this thread.....one more nutty thread among many! It is so annoying but on nights like last night, it's highly entertaining as well. I especially enjoyed one poster who complained that the Pats took this preseason game way too "seriously." Um, yeah, we showed you EVERYTHING last night, yeah right!

I can't wait for the local sports talk radio shows this week.

One thing that is truly humorous though....you'll see thread after thread over there about how it's preseason, who cares, doesn't matter, Gibbs always loses in preseason, blah, blah, blah. One eventually has to wonder if it's so pointless and meaningless, why there are close to 2,000 posts for every preseason game they play.

Wow! That was one of the clearest,most well thought out posts ever posted in the Redskins forum. Sean Taylor played at half speed. The offensive line only played minimum protection all but 3 plays in the first half.{Gibbs wanted to see how big of a hit Brunell could take} After all it's just preseason and the Pat's players will just ease off.

That poster just slipped down a well and every Skin poster that concurred jumped in without a rope to save him.

It's easy to take a preseason loss and dismiss it as evaluation and some coordinators tinkering.

However, there is no silver lining to be found when you lose 41-0. I know we Pats fans are homers to the max, but if the score were reversed, we'd be running around in a panic like the building was on fire.

Was the game an evaluation of Brunell? Maybe. If so he evaluated poorly. Sure Clinton Portis was injured, but TJ Duckett showed he can't run against a powerful front 7. Was the game used to experiment with a new Gregg Williams defensive gimmick? Probably, but it didn't work.

That was one sad thread..............Thats as bad as being pissy stumbling drunk and claiming you are completely sober.

zippo59 · 08-27-2006, 04:04 PM

Wow. Thats is some serious positive spin.
