The "I'm Not Freaking Out" Thread

I dont even go over there. I have once or twice, but not in a long time. It takes too long to find substance. The fact that they have the authority and audacity to alienate on the "official" site of the skins is beyond me, and infuriates me.

I'll only go over there right before the games, because ussually things just prior to gametime are slow around here. But yeah, that place is out of control. I mean, I'm a warpath guy, but I always enjoyed going over to ES and just surfing around until recently. That thing is so loaded with crap its not even worth checking out anymore.

you know i would'nt be freaking out if we could get a turnover......and ARRINGTON'S specialty is turnovers ,i expect we will see him in the 49er game... it's to bad cause we could easily be 5--0 right now , and only gonna get better,if brunell can stay healthy,can you believe i'm saying that? we SHOULD HAVE WON THAT GAME DAMMIT!!!I mean god bless it,K.C. WAS OUT PLAYED ON BOTH LINES OF SCRIMMAGE....WE DOMINATED.....and those damn fumbles.. where did that K.C. lineman come from 3 sacks 2 fumbles..2 recovered.... we could use him........

there will always be some concerns, but like u SBF I think when the skins r on their game, they can hang with anyone. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this on this thread or another recently, but is anyone else surprised/concerned by the lack of complex blitzes by Willaims or blitzes in general? maybe I'm just forgeting them but I really don't remember too many at all this year.

No offense to the guys who run Extremeskins, this is certainly not their fault, but their board has become overun with fair weather, casual fans who have nothing valuable to contribute other than comical knee jerk reactions.

I really hope for their sake they can get a handle on things. It's getting really ugly over there.

Why do you care what they do?

The Redskins are making strides, but to not be concerned when they lose these close games is beyond me. Thats exactly what they did last year. They lost almost all close games. People have been upbeat when we were 3-0 because we were finally winning those close games that we lost last year.. Yea, our offense is improving but how could they not from last year. I am really excited about the efficiancy of the offense moving the ball but we get in the redzone the very first set in the K.C. game but like in the past they lost a fumble and we get no points and K.C. capitalized like Denver did last week. This should be a concern and the reference of the haters is innacurate, they should be called the concerned. It has been tough to be a Redskin fan the last decade or so and I am tired of seeing the same damn things every year. I remain optimistic because I am a TRUE Skins fan but at the same time frustrated with the mental mistakes. Peace.....

Frustrating the past 2 weeks but we're a better team than we were last year, lost 2 nailbitiers where we gave two games away at the 2 toughest places in the league to play.

On defense, we need to get healthy at CB which will allow Williams to get back to blitzing. With Rogers on a bad ankle, Harris just back from injury and the terrible, awful, horrible Ade Jimoh at #3 CB Williams isn't going to dial up the the pressure and risk giving up a big play. Arrington isn't playing, deal with it. No need to bemoan it, just deal with it. Once the CB are healthy, I expect to see the pressure on the QB increase..

On offense, Portis needs to be more patient.. On the screen pass, had he waited for his blocking to develop he could have scored. Same thing on some of the sweeps and counter trey. Up the middle is something the line needs to get stronger on, but if he is more patient those runs will come..

Why do you care what they do?

Well, as someone who knows how difficult it is to maintain an online community, you don't want to see someone go through what they're going through.

They've reached the top of the mountain with their affiliation with the team, but along with that it's brought a serious influx of idiots.

Plus it's a place I've enjoyed going to in the past. And I know they have some good guys running the show over there.

There are plenty of reasons why I care about what they do.

This team is going nowhere if they cant score a TD on the ground. It amazes me that by this point in the season the skins have 0 rushing TDs. CRs stats and yards are nice but its points that matter and he just does not seem to have a nose for the end-zone.

I am more positive after 2 losses than I have been in a long while. We just went against 2 of the better teams in the afc, on the road, and really could have pulled both of them out. We didn't, which is disappointing, but I really feel like this team can come together over the next few weeks.
For the first time in a while this team is starting to get an "identity."
- Moss and Cooley are go to guys
- Brunnell managing the game, making plays
- A real tough defense (w/ out one or two of their starting CB's)

We'll get better w/ the takeaways. I'm pretty positive this team can win 10 games. We seem to be building a foundation.

I am not pleased with a loss either but... looking at the way the Skins play this year compared to last year is a huge improvement. Still need to work on redzone scoring. Maybe a few rushing tds would be nice. But not as frustrated watching the games this year as last that is for sure. Also have to watch the dumb penalties.
