Unfortunately I live in southeast MI, and I'm picking the Loins for this reason: my dislike for the city of Detroit (which nearly equals my dislike for Snyder). The game is blacked out in the Detroit market since they can't sell any tickets - how awesome would it be for Detroit's first win to occur during a week when no one can see it?!! I think I'd rather see a Detroit win during a blacked out game than a Skins blowout on national TV right now. Go Loins!!
I'm sure the Lions fans would gladly turn off their TVs anyways if they knew it would result in a win. "redskins fans" who do not root for their skins week in and week out no matter what are not ACTUALLY Redskins fan. You, sir, are not a true fan. And to those of you rooting for a top draft pick next year, SHAME ON YOU.
You don't know Loins fans. Also , rooting (uh huh huh, root) for your team and picking them to win are two differenet things. Additionally, I would argue that anything that hurts Snyder help Skins fans. Snyder = Satan.

My quote is in there and you sure as hell better not be trying to tell me that I'm not a fan.
I'll end it there until I see a response.

I'm picking the Skins, seriously. The Skins have stopped cold every offense they've encountered but Detroit hasn't. The team with the most points wins, right? I know, I know, I want them to win, but still, if I have to pick a winner objectively, it would be the Skins.
Objectively? Looks like that pick was made with some serious rose colored glasses on.

I am a FAN and I pick the Skins to win PERIOD. Read it my Hognostications EVERY week.
Not objective or subjective? That's too bad, maybe you would've made the right pick if you had used those tools.
I am also a FAN, but I'm also a realist. I don't cheer for my team tol lose, ever. I just live in the real world and can OBJECTIVE make my picks. The Skins are bad. They're still my team, but they are bad.

Rose colored glasses? Who didn't speak up until
after the game? Gutsy move, that.

And whose taking so much pleasure out of a Skins loss? Come on Champ. Gloating because you were right about your team losing to a terrible team is a bit over the top.

I did speak up before the game, thank you very much.

I am taking ZERO, and I mean ZERO pleasure in this loss. That's exactly why I started the post game thread in Smack. It just makes me sick to my stomach that so many posters just think all is good and attempt to crucify someone for having a very valid opinion different than their own. I should be used to it though, that's the way things roll around here.
