Why is it every year Skins fans are told ahead of time that the team won't be a playoff caliber team and then when the season starts and we lose a couple its a surprise, 'fix this, fix that' situation because to them we're supposed to have the 72 Dolphins team.

I am very optimistic about rg3 but there are some glaring problems here. We are in the midst of what might appaear to be our third five win season in a row. This on the heels of 15 years of - well- crap. So just out of curiosity - at what point is it acceptable in your mind to take our super fan capes off and become upset with the product we are putting on the field?
It might be our 3rd 5 win season in a row (though I still doubt it), but this year was going to be a tough one by any stretch of the imagination, simply due to the nature of the schedules. We know division games are tough, We know AFC North games tend to draw bruises and blood like the old black and blue division of yesteryear, and NFC South as well is a top notch division across the board.

Again, everything sounds like an excuse the day after a loss, but this schedule was known and commented on long before the season even started.

You know what? You may be right. We may win just 5. At the same time, who the f*** knows? You want to believe that. Fine. Bitching here won't fix them. I choose to believe that the offense will score enough to win more than 5 games.

Upset with the product? I get f'ing upset every f'ing time we lose. I bleed burgundy and gold when they lose. I used to come here looking for solace and someone to give me reason to believe that there was some good sh**.

Does our backend defense suck? Yup. Do Polumbus and Black suck? Yup? Of course there are glaring problems. Does it take a rocket scientist to figure them out? No. Are KS and MS going anywhere anytime soon? No.

Does any of that brilliant and depth analysis, half of it down with an "I told you so" attitude, give me any reason to feel better? No.

I'm not drinking kool-aid - I see the flaws. I just have enough in life to bring me down - tell me a reason to have hope.

I come here to cheer the Skins. Suckage or not.

No the question is .....why every year are we told were not a playoff team??? Lol. Than these in- fights start. Field a damn winning team more than three times in 20 years and this wont be an issue. Im a fan. A customer if you will. Im allowed to be upset if my product fails. Upset at the individuals whose job it is to fix it. I mean in the question you pose you are implying that it is acceptable to be told every year this is not the yeAr. Efff that!

Will all the....crybabies and...Dooms-dayers be done by then as well?

Nah, but the focus will shift to next Sunday's game and away from yesterday. Damn you for drawing me back in before Thursday!

Fair enough. Im not an i told u so fan. I dont need to hear that crap either. We all want to win. I will root for the skins whether we ever win another game or not. However just as the people that ONLY want to bitch piss me off so do the ones who say " thank you sir may i have another". Lol. I understand that moaning isnt going to change things but it is good to vent and sometimes maybe an " i hear u - we looked god awful and we need to change things AGAIN" would be better than acting like it is the "doom - sayers" fault we lost and directing your anger at them instead of the organization.

I am not looking to pull any plugs. ( well maybe hasletts) and i understand that this current regime is cleaning up a huuuuuge mess. Im just asking the question - how long does shanallen have in your minds before you expect to be told "ok folks this year we have a shot at the playoffs?"

It's doom and gloom because the team is unnecessarily exposing their future on a gimmick offense that has absolutely no chance for continued success. It's not building towards anything, there's nowhere to go with it. It's worse than play action because it takes too long, it's worse than rolling out because the Qb has to focus on 3 different things while also avoiding the inevitable pounding he will surely receive. Spreading the field is fine, but do it with receivers, formations, and well designed playcalls. Teach the kid something constructive.


There is nothing to setup with it but more option plays and misdirection. The defense could care less about misdirection if they can get a free shot at the Qb. Let em have 10 yards, we'll take out their Qb. It's a 1 time gimmick that only works because no one would expect such foolishness with your star player. Tebow is different, he is expendable plus he is freaking huge to take some punishment. Newton can run the read, but even he gets slammed. He is way bigger than Griffin, and that is already getting old for Carolina.

I can all but guarantee every team in the league will take notice of this, and will be laughing their a$$es off behind closed doors. The Buccaneers will be taking head shots if they try that crap next week. Now he is going to get hit even when he doesn't have the freaking ball. Can we expect the Swinging Gate with Griffin next?

They are supposed to be teaching him how to be an NFL quarterback. Yes, they can use his natural abilities, but his safety is paramount. It should be building blocks, one step leading to another. This is a gimmick and a desperation ploy because the offensive line is a joke, and Kyle has no excuses now for ineptitude. They might have drawn it up at halftime on the chalkboard because they had no answers. They clearly didn't practice it sufficiently because it looked so haphazard.

Why do you think Coughlin was so upset about the kneel down? Because he knows he has to keep his Qb healthy. It's coaching 101.

One of the better posts I've read here in a long time.

Anyone who ripped Morgan last week for losing his cool and costing the Redskins, but is okay with Kyle Shanahan doing this really needs to take a long look in the mirror.

I mean, it was obvious last week Mike lost his cool, and Morgan along with a few other players followed suit. Morgan had lost it at the top of the 4th qtr.
