Venting

Ok guys and gals, my name is Patrick and I am a Redskin addict. I can't take this anymore. I am a superstitious person and I truly believe that this team is cursed. How else can you explain 7 freakin' turnovers. Portis never fumbles and he did, TWICE!
They are going to get smoked next week by Dallas. Ramsey will play and they will bring eight guys in the box like the Giants did. It won't be pretty. But there I will be in front of the TV, hoping and praying that somehow this curse will be lifted. But it won't.

Here is also why I think we are in for some bad seasons to come. They have no QB. Brunell looks like he may have lost it and Spurrier took it away from Ramsey.

I know everyone is thinking I'm getting all crazy over 1 game, but I have seen enough of this for the last 12 years to realize that nothing will change this year and unless Gibbs turns hasslebeck into Doug Williams, it's going to be ugly for a while.

I'm on the ledge and I'm about to jump guys. Any ray of hope?

The difference between this year and the last 12 is also the difference between the last 12 years and the 12 years before them.

Coach Gibbs, Coach Breaux, Coach Bugel, etc. If Spurrier coached this game, he would have played golf today to call Snyder and quit. These coaches will analyze the film today and do something about it tomorrow.

I think we will be pumped up like never before come Monday. Unlike the last few coaches, Coach Gibbs is an experienced Coach in big-game situations, and let's face it. This is a big game. We may lose, but we will not play like we did yesterday, and you can take that to the bank.

Undoubtedly Brunell's best football is behind him. He does a nice job of managing the team and seems far more comfortable than Patrick, but he just can't seem to make the throws down the field. I am still more comfortable with Brunell and I hope he makes it back for the Dallas game, but in Ramsey's defense I think he was just trying to do too much. His decisions were awful but there is no question he made some throws that Brunell can't make. 1) The deep ball to Gardner 2) The bullett to Portis for the TD If he could become more decisive in the pocket and just throw the ball away when need be, he could win some football games.

Dude, take a chill pill and relax! Have faith in Joe Gibbs. He didn't get to be in the Hall of Fame without ability. He knows what he's doing and yes we may suffer some defeats along the way. But, it's like Joe Gibbs once said "The definition of a true champion is how they handle adversity". Well, we're going through some adversity now and how we handle this is going to tell a lot. Although the games are played on Sunday, the work behind the scenes is what puts us in a position. We'll be fine!!!

Hmmm, if you are a superstitious person try this: The Redskins lose because the fans give up on them too easily (Oh no, he fumbled, we're gonna lose) building into bad karma that affect plays on the field. We've got to support our team as fans, ya know. Gibbs is back...let the good karma flow.

To be quite honest yesterday was a very bad day for the offense but a pretty damned good day for the D. They kept us in the game. Seven turnovers and only 20 pts total!!!??? Look at the bright side, right. I mean we were in it until the end. The Skins are going to have some rough patches here and there, but Gibbs will sit back reevaluate and then teach. He's not out of his element here and will get whatever QB ready for little d.

All I can say is that you guys have to trust me when I say I have always been the one with my buddies to be the optimist... I just can't when i look at our QB situation. Granted Brunell isnt over-the-hill butis he really going to be the one in the next few years to help the skins contend for the superbowl? BTW... Kudos to Portis. I have never seen a guy lay a block on a DB and then jump over him to throw a shoulder into another defender... If we could only get some good QB play, he would simply dominate.
