Just look at the last post by DCGloryYears...do you occupy some position with the Skins organization? Can you say for a fact that the skins do not need these fans? I can tell you what I know to be true---Daniel Snyder appreciates their money when he sells them a ticket; Coach Williams appreciates their lungs when they're screaming by the endzone...
Yes, in the end, there are positives in everything--for one, Clinton Portis had perhaps his best total game as a skin against the top rated defense...The offense put up nearly 400 yds on that same D...and yet we lost...we are a flawed team, and there's nothing wrong with people voicing their opinion about how to fix that flaw...instead of calling them stupid, or questioning their "fanhood," why not just present your arguments and move on?
So without getting into a pissing war with you I will simply address the point of my previous post. You do not have to be psychology major to understand the theory that negativity breeds more negativity. We have all, at least those who have endured the Glory Years as well as the past 15 years, some even before that and hopefully many beyond, the trials and tribulations of this organization. Anytime you hear coach Gibbs talk anywhere, the number one thing out of his mouth is the fans. How much he loves and adores coaching here and only here because of us, the true fans. When your horse is down you don't beat the hell out of it or criticize, you look for positives and move forward. It is one thing to express opinion it is another to call for benchings based on sheer non-knowledge of football. Do you not remember our record at this point last year?
I do not get paid for my work for the Redskins, i do what i do out of love for the team i've grown with my entire life. I pay the Redskins to show my support every game. We all get frustrated and upset, but some of the ridiculous notions that come out of peoples mouths are just ridiculous. And nobody who truly cares about something as much as the majority of true skins fans care about this team would ever take shots at a quarterback who is playing out of his mind right now, a running back who does everything asked of him, a defensive coach who has brought back stability (minus two of our all pro players) to our defense and especially to a coach who deserves nothing but sheer respect from all of us for what he has accomplished.
Dan Snyder loves to fill the seats with the true burgandy and gold, which is why he weeded out the Post's tickets as well as all the other ex ticket holders who were selling their tickets to all opposing teams. Where you at the game last Sunday? Did you see as many Eagles as usual cuz i don't remember there being as many as last year.
Stand by what you said in your own post where everybody should be able to post their opinions, well if you listen to yourself that was my opinion which you disagree with and i disagree with you. But like you said its my opinion and I love this country and this website becasue i CAN VOICE IT!
