Duffman003 10-25-2005, 02:26 AM On Nfl.com they rank all the NFC teams and Gil Brandt is the only one who mentions the redskins, but he also names half of the NFC. But Pat Kirwin says that the Buc's are the only team who don't have a conference loss in the NFC while we have gone 4-0 to the Buc's 3-0. It just seems like people refuse to acknowledge that the redskins even exist and are tied for first in the best division at the time.

I was listening to the drive yesterday on Fox radio and I didn't know whether to be totally pissed or laugh at this one caller.
He was obviously a Giants honk, and he gave 4 reasons why the Giants will win the east. One of his reasons was because the Skins have no offense. First off, this guy obviously has his head up his butt because the Skins have the #2 overall offense right now, and second, I couldn't believe Chris Myers and Bryan Cox didn't call him out on that.
Well I guess it's not that surprising, seems like whenever they discuss the East, it's always all about the Giants, Cowboys and Eagles. It's like the Skins are an afterthought at 4-2. The up and down Cowboys still get more run, I don't get it. Myers even mentioned he thought the Giants have the best offense in the East, again not even a mention of the Skins.
I've gotta start calling that show and setting these guys straight.
Either that or let's start emailing Myers and setting the record straight

TheMalcolmConnection 10-25-2005, 09:14 AM I agree. I try so hard to stay away from talking about "media bias" but it's there.
It doesn't bother me a WHOLE lot, but it's just a little irritating when a nice story would be about how the Redskins moved from the bottom in offense to the top this year.
They'd much rather be all over Parcells's johnson talking about how the Cowboys have the SAME EXACT record but play with less consistency and fold WAY more often than the Redskins do.

Here is what I sent:
Hello,
I heard you say on your radio program that you think
that the NY Giants have the best offense in the NFC
East. Ok you are allowed to have an opinion, but did
you bother to look at the facts? The Division Leading
WASHINGTON REDSKINS have the #2 overall offense in the
NFL and the team that is #1, Seattle, has played 1
more game than the Redskins.
I also don't understand why the media is so hyped up
on the Giants? What Defense's have they played? Out
of 6 games the Giants offense has only played 1 top 10
Defens and the was the Cowboys, and the Giants lost
that game.
If you were to use a computer and access nfl.com you
would see that the Redskins played against 3, yes 3
top ten Defenses and BEAT them!! Yeah, the Giants
ofense may score points, but they loose to the teams
that have good Defenses.
It would be nice for some people to give credit where
credit is due, but for some reason the media has a
hard time in doing so. So until then if you want to
watch what is the BEST offense in the NFC EAST then
look no futher than the next WASHINGTON REDSKINS game.
A Die Hard Redskins Fan,

FRPLG 10-25-2005, 09:36 AM Far too concilliatory! They are a bunch of know nothings. I'd rather have them saying crap about how we're going to fold instead of saying nothing. I guess they figure if they ignore the Skins they'll go away.
#56fanatic 10-25-2005, 10:27 AM the way I look at is, dont give us any credit, I like it that way. The underdogs that is motivation enough for us to go out and kick everybodies head in. the fact that our offense is # 2 shows something that should be acknowledged by everyone. We have faced Chicago, Dallas, Denver, and Denvers defenses. They are all pretty damn good. We moved the ball well against all of these, except for Dallas,(disregarding the last 2 minutes). Once we win some quality games, like NY and Philly, we will start getting our props. But, If I were to have my way I would keep it the way it is. Seems like when ever we are hyped up, we fall well below the expectations.
BrudLee 10-25-2005, 10:35 AM Speaking of respect, the braintrust in Vegas is giving us a little. NY is currently a 2½ point favorite. As my fellow degenerate gamblers know, the home team is typically afforded 3 points, and that number is frequently higher in major market cities (New York will get 4 or more points, since more "idiot money" is bet on them... not that betting on New York makes someone an idiot, but the size of their fanbase makes for more idiots than a team with a smaller fanbase.). Either way, we look to be "beutral site favorites" in the eyes of the money men.
TheMalcolmConnection 10-25-2005, 10:57 AM I noticed that too BrudLee. That was nice for a change.
dblanch66 10-25-2005, 12:44 PM All we have to do is keep winning and all these morons will start to toot the Redskin horn, claiming they have been on the bandwagon from the beginning. We'll get respect only by winning. Until then, expect more dissing.
dmek25 10-25-2005, 01:54 PM i really dont see what everyone is seeing in the giant offense.the only one that scares me on that team is tiki barber.the skins have done well against shockey,and p burress is very inconsistant
