Re: Skins @ Dolphins Pregame Thread

I suppose that I am weird but I don't get some of you. I watch every play of every game that I can, no matter how bad we are. Sometimes a DVR is necessary when life rudely intrudes on football but still I do the best that I can. The idea of just not watching is foreign to me.

Ditto.

I expect a loss Sun but so what. There's a couple/few guys like Kerrigan, Rak, and Helu I'm excited to watch every game.

I hear ya, I used to be like that. I guess the past few years has just kinda drained my fan energy. I recorded last week's game but didn't bother watching a second of it. I'm really not interested in seeing Beck dump it down 14 times. It's like self torture, I just don't see the point.

Watching London Fletcher bust his tail on a below par team another year gets my goat.

That's weird to me Matty.... You put in a lot of time here on the warpath ( being one of the top guys) and you discuss alot of topics during the week but then not watch what we talk about everyday??? Afterall isn't that what this is all about. The game themselves. C'mon .... You deserve to be depressed and tortured like the rest of us.... And the sad thing for me is that I actually pay for this ..... Since I live in CT the skins are hardly ever on so I pay for the NFL ticket... It's almost like a slap in the face.

What's the benefit to watching last week's game? Seems like it was a fairly boring game with not much offense from either side, Beck dumped it off to Helu 14 times which is ridiculous, and we didn't score a TD until garbage time. I was depressed enough after just watching the highlights and reading up on it.

**I forgot, I actually did catch some of it live on my phone with the Sunday Ticket app.**

Same hear I use to wear I have seen every game/down as a badge of honor and then I started realizing I am wasting my Sundays watching these guys play. I beat from 1987 to say 2006 I never missed a game or play the past few years I say I probably miss on average about 6 games.

Im a little surprised about you saying you wont watch.I said the same thing a couple yrs back and Im pretty sure you gave me a hard time about it.
Its sad that this franchise has sunk so low that its come to this point.Thank God I didnt waste my money on the sunday ticket this yr so I could waste another sunday watching this pitiful team.

Living in an area that does not get the Skins games (Rochester) and not having the ticket every game I can see is still a nice treat for me. Luckily my brother in law has the ticket and is not really a fan of any specific NFL team so I have been able to watch every game but one this year. I will continue to watch, but I will not be as emotionally invested for the rest of this year. I will instead be looking for improvement/continued excellence by a few of our young players. It will make watching them more fun (hopefully!!)

Just to be clear I was out of town last week and will be this week too, when home I'll always watch the game live. When I'm away I'll record the game and if it's worth watching when I get home I'll check it out. Otherwise I'm not going to waste my time watching a crappy game.

There are folks in Florida who also are apathetic about NFL football.

Lotus I was that way for many many years. I've been through the good and all of the bad. But for me, lately, the emotional attachment to this team is not what it use to be. If there's another good game on while the Skins are playing I find myself watching it, simply casue I like watching quality football. Right now Miami is w/out question a better team than we are and I expect them to win on Sun. Not sure if I'll watch it or not. I know I can't watch the offense anymore. Pittsbugh/Cincy looks like a real good game and I know I'll watch some of it.

I feel you, but I'm not exactly upset that I have to work Sunday. I'll definitely be going home to catch the game, but if it becomes a blowout I'll stop watching. Which I don't expect it to be. It should be close, but if Beck fails to show up yet again it's definitely going to be hard to watch. It gets to the point where when the offense comes on the field you just expect a 3 and out, or a turnover, or something. Last time I felt like that was 2009.
