Maybe it's time to start handing out bans? I was not thrilled being on this site when we were making that come back and when we were tied. There were several that said "game over" and didn't even give us a chance. What the hell happened to the fans around here? It's very disturbing to be on a REDSKINS website and have to deal with people that ALWAYS think the Skins will lose. Shit, I can get that from my Cowboys friends, I don't need that here!
All I know is I sure couldn't stand watching a game live with some of these people. The constant bitching keeps me away for most of the game here. I just can't handle the complaining after every single freaking play. Every negative play and the sky is falling.

Yep! And Lord forbid if you try to say something good about the team, you're labeled a homer and accused of "drinking the kool-aid."
I'd love for some of these people to just go back and review their posts. I believe they'd understand where we are coming from.

Pass the Kool-Aid, cause it sure tastes extra sweet after a W. :)

Let up already. People are just frustrated and rightfully so.
There is a HUGE difference with frustration in saying things like "why the 8 straight runs?" and saying "game over" when they win the freakin coin toss.
It is all too common that people are only here to be negative, and you know what...we REAL fans are damn sick of it. Either be a FAN, or get the hell off this site. I'm tired of people being negative every damn week regardless of the situation.

I absolutely agree with you. I had to leave the site for a while cause people were pissing me off with all the negativity.
I wasn't here last week cause I knew it would get bad...I waited til the 4th quarter or so before I got on this week hoping to see people being positive and cheering our skins, instead I find "so called" fans already giving up and saying game over! I'm right there with you Matty.
Here's a clue for everyone using "frustration" as an excuse to say negative things like "game over" when it's long from over...YOU'RE NOT A SKINS FAN. Real skins fans don't give up when a little adversity comes their way. So try this in the future, if you feel the need to say something stupid like that, SHUT UP. Don't bother saying it, you're not helping anyone including yourself!!!

Alright, I think I'm off my soap box for now. :D
We're 5-3 right now, and if we were told the SKins would be 5-3 in week 17 of last season, every one of us would jump and cheer.
I'm happy to be 5-3. We've gone through some growing pains, and I still feel we are a playoff team. All we need to do is play .500 ball from here on out and we are in the playoffs!!!!

We actually agree on more than you think...we are just way off when it comes to political issues. When it comes to Redskins issues, we're always on the same page.
