Why Extremeskins Posters Just Don't Get It - New England Patriots Forums

***shmessy*** · 10-29-2007, 09:10 AM

Check out the first (and at this time, only) response to the spot-on analysis of the thread starter:

http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/s...d.php?t=219141

Completely ignored the lesson he/she was taught in the excellent analysis (or it flew over his/her head).

We've had a few good Skins fans who did know the NFL visit us over here, but 90% of what I saw at Extremeskins was Madden-Football mentality.

Now, on to Colts week for me.

I'm confused.... ES posters dont get it because no one has posted in the thread? It's barely even been viewed....

No, Skins fans don't get it BECAUSE they don't get it.

Your life is fantasy football because your team has been somewhere between mediocre and pathetic for over ten years and what you (admittedly devoted and loyal fans) do to whittle away the time between losing seasons is brag about your great secondary or Clinton Portis in his goofy wig or whatever it takes to avoid the reality of being a mediocre organization.

When confronted with a truly great team, the first line of reasoning is "oh, we won't win but we really will show you we are great in the secondary and our defense might be the best in the league and our record is really almost like 6-0, all those other teams (like Dallas) you played were not the Redskins."

Then, after a straight forward game in which the Pats pulled Brady after the initial drive in the fourth quarter, the story is that we ran up the score.

Great line from a Skins' poster: "Can you imagine if somehow we managed to crawl our way into the SB and had to face these robots?"

Typical.

The analysis was in depth and spot on. It criticized the Redskins for being a Rotisserie Football Team - - only concerned about the top 5-6 star players and not taking care of details.

The VERY FIRST RESPONSE to the analysis is someone claiming that it all comes down to having the better QB.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry for you that that irony completely flew over your head, but I will say that it is typical of Redskins fans.

I agree that the analysis was spot on but im still not sure what you're expecting here. Sounds like you're just attempting to grind an axe for whatever reason.

I'll type this for you v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y:

The first poster makes an analysis about how the Patriots build an entire team and organization - - their strength is they have the best bottom 15 players - - not the best top 5-6 players. He goes on to show the difference is that the redskins can't even comprehend that thinking. He finishes it with, "What are your thoughts when comparing the franchises?"

The very first response post is "Henry": "That Brady is going to the HOF, and no Redskin QB of the past 30 years has."

Perhaps you don't get the obvious irony.

No I don't get it. If you're attempting to characterize Henry as some blind homer that doesn't understand why the Pats are so much better than the Skins i'd say you're way off base. Not saying there aren't plenty of fans with asinine remaks and posts that illustrate complete homerism and a false state of reality when it comes down to it. I just think you chose the wrong thread in attempting to make your point.

Bella*chick · 10-29-2007, 11:26 AM

Oh, boy.

Okay, the irony here is that after an analysis which says it is not really about the few star players and more about the REST OF THE TEAM and how it is built, the FIRST POST says it's all about.....one star player (the QB).

That illustates what boneheads SOME (not all, but some) Redskins fans are.

Great line! I did not go to the site, but I thank you for pulling this one out!

That is priceless.
