They should be charged with uttering death threats even though I’m sure the majority of them weren’t serious. But it’s still scary none the less.

Redskins fans, you just got played by Josh Morgan.

NFL players have lots of tricks up their sleeves. This trick is called “death threat”.

Josh Morgan was an idiot and his penalty pretty much lost the game. Dropped passes are bad, but stupid penalties on game winning drives turns fanbases into lynch mobs. How do you reduce the heat?

Tell the media that you are getting death threats. All of a sudden the lynch mob gunning for your head (due to your own stupidity) becomes sympathetic to the clear injustice of a death threat.

Excellent play Josh.

You can use the, “It’s just a ________,” for anything as a reason not to get upset about it. It’s not just a game, or else people wouldn’t get emotionally invested in it, and people wouldn’t be getting paid lots of money to play it, and networks wouldn’t spend lots of money to broadcast it.

However, the people lashing out with threats have more serious problems. Their reaction to a football game is probably one of many things in life that wace red flags over their heads. It’s good that these psychos are identifying themselves, however, it’s too bad they can’t get a free psychiatrist with each tweet. They really need one.

I was kind of hoping young Bobby G. would have come out and thrown his reciever some support. It would go a long way because there will be a time when the roles are reversed. The rook will do something stupid ( all rookies do )and he will appreciate the support when that happens.

Come on folks, it’s only a game. It’s not that serious. Don’t take the game so personal. It’s meant to be enjoyed and to have fun.

It’s brutal someone would send him death threats. You’d think they would realize that playing for Washington is already a fate worse than death.

Wouldn’t you love to see the demographics on the death threat crowd?
100% drunk losers, at least 75% pissed more because they lost money on the game rather than that the Redskins lost…

How many of you think it was “voiceofreason” who sent them all from a bunch of anonymous addresses? You know, now that he has jumped on the 49er bandwagon since the Skins lost?

…..BTW, RGIII is the best QB in the Division.

Anything other than a Thumbs up means you don’t know foot ball or you’re a hater.

I hate to be the one to break this to you (ok, that’s a lie, I actually enjoy being the one to break this to you), but your above statement clearly shows that you’re the one who knows nothing about football. The facts are its just impossible to make that sort of claim with 2 games as the body of work you have to go off of. And saying “if you thumbs down this you don’t know football” is just a moronic and childish attempt to bulky people into accepting your ridiculous point of view. Thanks for giving me a good laugh….I needed it.

There is an article up on the main yahoo page right now about a guy that got arrested for making death threats on an article about LeBron James sneakers. I would guess if Morgan felt threatened he could have it investigated or maybe twitter would have to get involved.

As a Niner fan who has watched Joshua play for a while, I can tell you he rarely does stupid things, you are gonna get a lot more good than bad from this guy. Have patience Skins fans, and beat the Cowboys.

You know our civilization is on its way down when grown men are threatening other grown men on the web…and are only allowed 140 characters.

I wonder how much these clowns e-bench.

Couldn’t that be traceable on Twitter? Couldn’t the authorities get involved?
———————————————
I was gonna post the same thing…Idiots who make death threats deserve jail time.
———————————

I was wondering the same thing… better than jail time, make the ones who made the threat meet Josh Morgan and have them make the same threats to his face….. Lets see how tough they are to his face

Even with 15 more yards Cundiff would have still missed that field goal

1.) it’s the second week of the regular season, it didn’t even cost you a trip to the playoffs or Super Bowl for that matter. Not condoning it to be right by any means.
2.) The kicker would’ve still had to hit a 47 yard field goal to TIE the game. The kick was no guarantee seeing how he missed a chip shot to go to the SB last year and still could’ve lost in Overtime.
3.) if you want to threaten someone (don’t seriously) call out your horrid looking defense for giving up that many points to maybe the worst offense in the NFL!

I could tell all of you for certain that this Giants’ fan here was not the one who sent the Twitter threat. I did however send him a thank you card.

Obviously most Redskins fans don’t think that way. It’s just a few ruining the Skins’ fan’s image.

Morgan is a great player so far for the skins and I’m sure he’ll do much more good than bad. I think he was a great signing and everyone can learn from their mistakes.

Skins fans should be mad at Rams players for cheap shots and the refs for not calling em before they get mad at Morgan. He’s a good dude and this was out of character, but the Rams/Refs finally got to him.

Please, this is the Redskins we are talking about. One more loss isn’t going to effect your 4-12

That’s being kind. 2-14

Pathetic…no matter what the circumstances are…truley pathetic! I’d be the people who are threatening him are low-life scum bags that placed bets on the skins. NO ONE who threatens a player of a team that ‘support’ is considered a fan in my book. Grow up people.

Morgan is a stout player and is already paying dividends.

He goes over the middle and has already caught a bunch of key passes. He guy will flat out level you if he gets a chance and his run blocking is impressive.

Yea, he lost his cool and Finnigan played him to a tee. Live and learn. For those who doubt this post. Go back and watch the Garcon 88 yd TD and see who sticks his arm out just enough to alter the incoming defender’s stride which freed Garcon for the break away run.

It’s a long season and Morgan is key for the long haul.
