Don't worry, I don't think anyone takes his stuff seriously anymore, non-skins fans too. He's just too off on his predictions and analysis. I didn't even waste my time clicking on that link and all of his stories.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Man,.....I'm glad I dont let people like that bother me.......didnt last year they say we wasn't suppose to win 4 games........ :bdh:

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Yet Miami is #5?

Seems like he finds great joy in picking apart the Skins moves and only focusing on the negatives, yet he doesn't mention Culpepper's shredded knee as being a potential problem, and a relatively unproven RB in Ronnie Brown.

And somehow Dallas fixed all their problems with one signing.

Gimme a break. More sour grapes from the media, what a surprise. Also kinda funny how he writes so much on the Skins compared to everyone else, yet all he has to say is negatives.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

We should file this little gem away for next year to see how much of an a-hole he looks like then.

[quote]They spent and spent and spent some more. What else is new? So what did they get? A receiver (Randle-El) who had 35 catches last year, a tight end (Christian Fauria) who won't scare people down the field, a safety (Adam Archuleta) who is a liability in coverage, another receiver (Brandon Lloyd) from a team in need of them yet was willing to trade him and a defensive end (Andre Carter) who has yet to live up to the hype.[/quote]

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

WTF is this guy smoking. We didnt pick up Jeff George, Bruce Smith, or Deion Sanders. This is Brandon Lloyd, Antwaan Randle El, Adam Archuleta, and Andre Carter. And oh ya did i forget Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, Marcus Washington, and Sean Taylor. And this is not Steve Spurrier or Marty Shottenheimer either. This is Joe Gibbs. And oh ya dare i mention Al Saunders and Greg Williams. CBS stands for Complete Bull $#!T anyways so why do we care.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Prisco doesn't like the Redskins. He's been bashing us for a long while now.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

dumb sob :soapbox::hater:

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Yeah, I mean it's BLATANTLY obvious in that article.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

these idiots are acting like we need Randle el, lloyd, arch to be the #1 guys. They also seem to forget Carter is a DE, which the last year he played DE he had 12-13 sacks. He is not a OLB which is what the idiots in San Fran did last year. We have #1 guys in place. These are compliments, pieces to the puzzle. These dudes have got to lay off. I hope we can all look back at this and rip their asses apart during the season.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

OK, so let's assume at the very least, we signed players who are average, how can they say we got worse while many of the teams above us signed one or two players and some NONE and are better?

What a douchebag.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

I like how he mentions Fauria will not scare teams down the middle. Like thats what we signed him to do. On a positive note we did move up two spots.

I was thinking the exact same thing! Yeah...cause...Fauria is our main receiving threat down the middle of the field. Just like Robert Royal was. But not Cooley. Those 71 catches were a fluke so we signed Fauria as our main pass-catching threat. Not to block. At all.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

What a moronic goon.

Right, I supposed he forgot about our Pro Bowl WR, and our Pro Bowl snubbed HB, RB and RG. Yeah, we're going to SUCK.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Pete,

I'm sure I'm your typical "angry Skins fan", but I just wanted to write you to find your rationale behind the snub of the Skins in your power rankings. I don't think anyone is doubting they did indeed spend and spend. But let's also remember they made the NFC divisional playoff game running solely on the legs of their all-pro running back.

I just can't help myself in being a bit peeved that none of that was mentioned, it's all about how the Skins spent for unproven commodities. Sure, they're unproven, but did the Skins get WORSE? If they didn't get worse, did other teams (notably the other NFCE teams) get that much better? TO is not the solution for the Cowboys, he's a hired gun that may put you over the top if you're on the cusp of winning the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are not. The Eagles will most definitely be back in contention, but a healthy McNabb doesn't instantly make them that much better.

Concentrating solely on the Redskins signings this year, Fauria is NOT a receiving threat, he was brought in specifically for blocking. Also, let's remember that Andre Carter posted 10+ sacks in his short career and we all know Williams has a knack for getting the most out of his defensive players. Looking at the areas the Redskins addressed in FA, there's NO WAY it can be said that they were improvements over the old crew from last year. Overpaid? Sure, but Taylor Jacobs, Jimmy Farris and others were invisible. This team will only go as far as Mark Brunell takes them, but I think it's being a bit shortsighted to say that overpaying is going to equal less wins.

Sincerely,

Ben Hartless






Just sent that to Pete.

And so it begins anew.

Welcome to the NFL 2006 Season.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

I wonder how long will it take for this guy to get off the Patriots bandwagon, anyone can see they are using this year to rebuild! 3 my ass

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Once people are ON the bandwagon, they don't get off.

ex. Cowboys fans.

There's SO MANY remnants of them around here from the 90's teams that I constantly question, SOOOO who's the Cowboys QB right now? And they have NO f-ing clue.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

I just expressed my support for our Skins to Prsico. i sent him a little message. I actually hope he reads it and not someone else.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Was I the only one who didn't notice that we cut Santana Moss, Clinton Portis, Chris Cooley, our entire O-line, Marcus Washington, Sean Taylor, Carlos Rogers, Griffin, Daniels, and all of our coaching staff? Because according to that analysis of how our season will turn out, I can only assume that Danny cut all these guys just to sign a bunch of role players.
These guys are morons and they wouldn't know a smart offseason move if it kicked them in the balls, which is what I'd like to do.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

So if brunell tears all the ligaments in his knee, do we then vault to the top 5?

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

BSB doesn't like bitches.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

the biggest most obvious thing all these media haters are forgetting is the addition of al saunders! to me, this is the biggest addition to our offense by far. even without fauria, antwaan or lloyd i would say the the hiring of saunders moves us up at least 4 or 5 notches in the offensive rankings this year.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

why is everyone getting there asses up in a tizzie?it alls boils down to what the skins staff and players do on the field.we are definitely better than last year and now that coach gibbs is up to speed on todays nfl,lookout rest of the league

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Just horrible analysis. Is it my imagination or do these guys, like Homer J Simpson, get stupider every year? I think you could actually chart the downward movement of their football intelligence. They see nothing but stars. "Culpepper quarterback good Saban discipline". He can't be serious can he? When exactly DID Daunte become a "pocket passer"?
I think that when they watch an NFL game they see what I saw when I was eight years old. Its just a blur of motion as they desperately try to follow the ball and figure out what happened before the next play is run. These are the people that figure out it's fourth down AFTER the kick.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Its going to be great whene, once again the Skins notonly make the playoffs but reach the NFC Championship game and we can laugh at this moron.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

He clearly just hates the Redskins. Last in the Division. Please.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Ok guys really I also don't agree with a lot of his remarks also it's to early right now to predict I'm still waiting for the draft and see if we cover or you for that matter the needs we still have.

the only thing that I agree with him and this has been hunting my head all offseason is this
[QUOTE]There is no doubt the NFC East is going to be brutal, which might make it tough for any of those teams to get to a Super Bowl. [/QUOTE]
I agree with this, in my opinion Philly is the worst team in our division followed by the giants, in my point of view the reason Philly was so good the las couple of years was in part because our hole division sucked they didn't had real competition.

I don't see them as a power house anymore and I really see them as the team with more weaknesses I see your team and our team as the most improved teams in the division but I see a really brutal division for the first time that might cust any of us the SB we might get tired at the end of the season the players won't be fresh like in seattle and Chicago that face really bad teams in their divisions.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

^^^agree mostly. What doesn't kill ya will make you stronger, so I doubt that those teams won't be ready in the playoffs. What may elude the Skins/Boys in that division is homefield advantage. I don't see anyone in the East better than 12-4, and the Panthers or Bears could be better than that.

Neither is better than Washington, though.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

The Redskins are the only team in the entire NFL to address their needs from a position of strength as oppose to one of desperation. From offensive coordinator to WR's and pass rushing. And just in case anyone missed it, we still have room to resign our core guys. Take a look at our opponents in the NFC East and tell me that the Giants signing of every CB on the free agent market old and washed up wasn't an act of desperation stumbling behind our lead. No need to mention Dallas's dumb ass signing. Eagles either.

CBS Sportsline is apart of the New York based media that have only wishful thinking idiots called Giant and Jets faithful who have only memories of Namath and Simms to drival over. We will win a Superbowl before any of them do , you can take that to the bank.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

I'm sorry man but we didn't do no signing of desperation we got younger at RG and TE we went and got a reliable RT for a low contract so we secure that area and let the young one develop and compete and we got the most fierce receiver ( yeah with all the bagage) but we didn't overpaid we made a healthy contract that gives him the money he wanted but every year he's on the line 2 being cut and it won't hurth the franchise.

We didn't overpaid for the players we got like you did man paying Archuleta the highest Safety salary contract, a guy tha thave huge coverage problems and hasn't live to his hipe, or paid 2 #2 wr at best #1wr money Randal el caught 35 passes last year but your owner still tought he was worth that 30+ mill contract.

I repeat for me your best pickup this year was resigning williams and getting Saulders as your off Coord. you got 2 wr that will make you more agressive but you still need a LB maybe 2, and another cb.

I repeat I see both our teams as the best in the division the ones that did the most to help themselves but I have to waith an see the draft to determine who has the upper hand.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Argh. I'm looking at this purely objectively and it doesn't seem like any opposing fans can really do the same.

TO did not make the offense world's better. He improved it, but didn't make it elite by any means. We overspent without a doubt, but we made it to the playoffs and WON a game last year which is more than I can say for the rest of the NFC East. I don't think that whoever the Cowboys, Giants or Eagles draft is going to make enough of a difference to push them over the Skins. Last year I was totally objective and said that the Eagles would probably take the division again (I didn't predict the McNabb injury and TO fallout). But seriously, the division is the Skins to lose this year.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. So quick to take the Skins signings for granted. I respect your opinion about what you THINK are our best signings, however you have overlooked the best one IMO (Andre Carter).

As for your opinion about our free agent haul, whateva. Gregg Williams runs the defense and I think he's a little more familiar with his defense and what he needs from a strong safety than you, so I'm gonna have to side with GW here. Oh, and if you forgot Matt Bowen looked to be a FORCE a couple of seasons ago up until he got hurt. I think Archuleta is better (quicker, stronger, more athletic) so I'll roll with him. Oh, and strong safety is run support, free safety is coverage.

As for TO, he does make the offense better, but the Cowboys still suffer from one fatal flaw, Drew Bledsoe. He's got a helluva arm, but I'll take my chances that we can get to him before he can get the ball to TO. And last I checked Terry Glenn is still on the other side, oooh real scary. Meanwhile, at Redskin Park we've also got a bona fide playmaker at #1, Santana Moss. And now we have other options at wideout that will free up Moss and also Portis. Uh oh, its pick your poison. Put eight in the box and leave Moss one on one with Terrence Newman? Play coverage and watch Portis run wild?

I think the Cowboys are improved with the Keyshawn subtraction and TO addition. But when he went to Philly they were already an elite team and he just helped push them over the top. Dallas, while good, is not an elite team. Or have you forgotten your record over the last few seasons? I'll let you in on a little secret, it wasn't that good. But optimism reigns supreme in the offseason. I think TO will produce, that won't be the problem, the problem will be the same its always been, his mouth. Maybe not this year, maybe not next, but TO is a ticking time bomb. With $10 mil this year he's happy. Hope it lasts.

As for Al Saunders, feel free to shake in your boots. No one knows what our offense is going to look like next year. Will it resemble KC? Will it be what we ran last year? A hybrid of the two? If you know, or rather, if you think you know, then feel free to fill me in.

Lastly, our division. SKins-Giants-Eagles-Cowboys. The Eagles still have the best qb in our division, a very good defense, and they had a ton of injuries last year (probably a result of playing so many playoff games the last few years).

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

Honestly, I think TO is a good boy this year and won't be a problem at all. I just think the Cowboys will be average to slightly above average. The other teams in the division have improved, namely the Redskins and Giants. I think the Cowboys and Eagles will be duking it out for last in the division.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

I can not believe they put Philly AND the Giants in front of us. Really doesnt make too much sense, and his justification for each is even worst. Now I understand why much of the media think the Cowboys have had a better offseasons, even without TO, they had some solid signings, and they are going to rely on the draft to fill their other holes. That being said, even if you hate the Skins, I see no way the Dolphins, Giants, and Eagles, could be put in front of us. No way.

Re: Sportsline Power Rankings
 

It will be a battle in the division this year. I think the media really just uses the same storylines for the Skins each year, without really paying attention to what we're doing.

Honestly, I hope everyone predicts us to finish last in the division. It'll make it that much sweeter when we win it anyway.
