Redskins smiling and laughing after loss

When they made the switch from Ramsey to Brunnel everyone praised Brunnel because he made the game more fun, he crack jokes in the huddel when the game was on the line, he was more relax than ramsey and that gave the team a lift. Im not at all surprised he was still smiling after the game. It seems like its in his personality and like everything else we praise it when we win and condemn it when we lose

When you finally come to the realazation that you will lose game, after game, the same exact way, week, after week, I would imagine it starts to become quite humurous to the players, kind of like ground hog day, I can hardly wait to see what kind of costume Portis deciedes to wear this week.

Read the Washington Post articles or watch the post-game locker room film and you won't read about a lot of smiles or laughs. Don't jump the gun and make conclusions about 52 players because of 1 or 2.

what would make everyone happy then? Right after the game, everyone go straight to the locker room and not say a single thing to anyone? Brunell is a veteran. He smiles when he messes up, he smiles when he throws touchdowns, he is just all around comfortable. So what if he goes out and does a little bit of chatting. I'm sure when he got in that locker room he got right down to buisness.

Every second of every minute...et cetera, does not need to be consumed with absolute sulk and depression. Why not get rid of the Portis weelky dress up, that doesn't look like a guy whose mind is on football.

You are correct!! Brunell's a Vet. I'm sure he does not want the opposition (like I would not) to think that the loss hurt him. If you believe he doesn't take it seriously, you have not been watching this season.

Mark Brunell was standing out in the field talking and smiling.....and no, I'm not one of the ones trying to roast Brunell out of his starting position.

Why does this loss hurt me so much more than it hurts Brunell. I have nothing to do with the team!

I think its ridiculous to think that Brunnell doesn't want to win just b/c he's talking and smiling w/ an old teamate. That's stupid. Watch the locker room report and you tell me these guys don't want to win. That's like expecting everyone not to smile the week of a loss. Come on. I watched S. Springs last year on Monday Nite Live answer a question that started w/ How can you come on the TV and smile after a loss. He described how pissed he is after every loss and you could tell. He didn't like that question and I respect him. Brunell too. He is a professional.

Consider the context guys, players laughing and smiling after a game isn't uncommon.

Old friends meeting up and sharing a quick laugh is something that's totally understandable.

Are you telling me if you meet up with an old friend in a similar situation you would blow them off because you just lost a game?

Let's also remember it is just a game afterall, it's not life or death. I think the fans often take things much harder than the players do.

agreed. theyre professionals. they arent going to smile and chat with old college and pro teammates during the game so a quick word after shudnt be a problem. i think that the vets are used to it and know when the cameras going to be on them. they put up an act maybe until they are in the locker room. and some guys just take losses differently but we dont know if that has any impact on the will to win.

i dont know about you guys but ive become numb to the redskins after so many disappointing yrs. the wins feel as great as ever but the losses arent nearly as bad as b4.

I'm sure Royal is laughing this week, because he knows even though he dropped all those passes he's still gonna get paid.

that's kind of a deuche bag thing to say because he's probably hurt the most because he is blaming himself, he also isn't making nearly as much money as most of the team.
