I love how everyone wants to hate on Skins’ fans because they actually have a team worth watching.

Skins fans know why the caged bird sings.

we are lucky to be at 2-2 at this point but, it’s not for lack of offense. I’m still miffed about giving Tanared Jackson so much practice time if we knew he’d be suspended. D. Hall is trying and so are a few others but Reed Doughty cannot be on the field this much. anyway if we can keep the Falcons to less than 24 points we may have a chance. Congratulations to RGIII and the Redskins for being at 500 one quarter of the season in. HTTR!!!!!

I’m still waiting for the news flash that Billy Cundiff was chased out of DC..2 easy field goals missed that almost cost us the game, he needs to be fired… But I’ve been really impressed by RGIII in the no huddle, especially in this game because his headset wasn’t working. Robert has shown signs of brilliance, but he’s also showed signs he’s a rookie. But a few of those potential interceptions weren’t his fault, Hankerson falling down, Garcon running the wrong route, he can’t do a thing about that. Also Alfred Morris has been knocking it out of the park, he is a hard runner and a straight beast. Squats 846 lbs and benches 450 haha are you kidding me, some offensive and defensive linemen can’t do that. Sucks our secondary is so bad, that’s the only reason they aren’t a playoff team this year.

We have a great an exciting offense, but the defense is sorry. We should nickname them the pearl harbor crew because bombs are being dropped every sunday

Thank God we have RG3, he has heart. If the Redskins secondary was good we would be 4-0. The offense is finally exciting to watch again.

RG3 looks great. He just needs to learn to take less hits, it just doesnt seem possible to withstand that kind of beating every week.
I don’t think the D played that well at all. It was more the Bucs O missing throws and blocks. Redskins still look like a risky proposition to me.

The Bucs are still an enigma, but it’s becoming clear that Freeman isnt playing up to par in the new offense. The D is also new and has it’s growing pains but it has had some good games since the beating they took from the Giants. Staying close in every game is a good start for Schiano though.

“trailed the Bucs 22-21″
“His kick was through the uprights this time and the Redskins pulled out a 24-21 win in Tampa”

So not only did they give the Skins 3 points for the FG but deducted 1 from the Bucs, when was that added to the rules and why wasn’t a point deducted from Washington for each of Barths 3 FGs?

Surely the game should have gone to overtime with a 21-21 score, the Bucs have been robbed yet again by the useless refs!!!!

Who are the RGIII haters? This guy is dynamite, whether you like him or not, but I don’t know anyone who’s wanting or expecting him to fail.

As for Cundiff, I hate to say it, but for the good of the Redskins, he probably needs to go. I’m sorry, but look how many kickers have never recovered from a huge miss over the years.

Mike Vanderjagt was the most accurate FG kicker in history, until his playoff miss in 2005 against Pittsburgh. After that, he couldn’t make a kick to save his life, and was out of the league for good less than a year later. Lin Elliot cost the Cowboys some early season games by missing short FG attempts. A few years later he winds up in KC, and his three misses cost the top-seed Chiefs a playoff loss to Indy.

Cundiff’s miss in the playoffs last year is still with him; that much is obvious after yesterday’s game. Heck, he barely made the last attempt. I would not be surprised to see him cut as soon as today.

Mentioning Vick and RG3 in the same sentence demonstrates that you don’t know what you are talking about. Unless you say “RG3 is on his way to being a better pocket passer than Vick.” or “Unlike Vick, RG3 has only run when he was ordered to by the coach or absolutely had to in an effort to extend or salvage a play.”

A simple look at the stats would show you this. He’s certainly playing WAAAAAY better than Vick who is on a better team with MUCH better weapons. And let’s keep it really real for a sec…this is Vick’s first good game this year and it hasn’t been as good and ANY of RG3′s games. Ignore the facts if you want to, the definition to delusional was posted by one of your fellow posters in one of the last Jets related articles.

Oh and for the record, I’m not even on the Kool-Aid, I predicted my Skins to have a losing season. RG3 is like Weapon X to us, because if it weren’t for him and A. Morris we wouldn’t have ANY wins. He’s great. Whether you believe it or not doesn’t change a thing. HTTR.

You think the ‘skins (and the rest of the NFL) would have learned not to pick up the Ravens trash. Cundiff joins the likes of A. Thomas, Chris Chester, Bart Scott and the likes of former Ravens cast offs who fail to come close to expectations with their new teams. Seriously other than Priest Holmes and maybe McGahee name one other Raven castoff who finds success with their new team..

ok honestly RG3 Had too many calls go for him the safety that was and all those roughing the passer calls he nearly had four picks and for the life of me couldn’t we call a better defense to not lose the game the buccaneers aren’t awful just badly coached due to lack of experience and should’ve won that game hands Down and losing Clayborn killed us because he was excellent against the run smh 1-3 we should be 3-1 at worst Washington is no better than us and ill take Freeman over Barkley and Geno Smith smh Josh had us with a lead that all that matters. he will get better with time and as he gains more confidence as a fan im pissed we let another NFC easy team slide smh

Oh, and for the RG3 haters still beating your head against the wall ignoring the obvious, here’s a relevant stat. To the genius beating the “he’s a RB who thinks he’s a QB” drum: Only one other QB had one or fewer INTs in the first 100 passes of his NFL career besides Griffin. His name was Warren Moon. Hall of Famer. And Moon wasn’t even really a rookie, with 6 years in the CFL under his belt. So, still think he’s a one-trick pony? Oh, wait, I bet Moon never had a defender drop an interception, right?

We need a new kicker. It made no sense when we cut Gano for this has-been in the first place. When a first-class organization like the Ravens is replacing him with a rookie, that’s the only red flag you need. Last year was Cundiff’s second game-losing miss in the playoffs, and after the first one he was so screwed up mentally he was out of the league for 2 seasons. Let’s cut our losses and re-sign Gano before he gets picked up and becomes next in the line of countless kickers the Skins cut that went on to be successful elsewhere.

Not sure anyone else noticed this, but they said that the final score was 24-21. It was actually 24-22.

“The problem lies with fair weather fans that because they have a new toy they are so happy until…it breaks.
They make statements like”I told everyone he is the greatest(fill in the blank) since( fill in the blank). But God forbid there may be some trials and tribulations ( all teams have them).”

To be fair, some of the “great since (fill in the blank)” most likely came out of the who RGLeaf BS that permeated this board prior to the season starting. I realize that came out of pretty much one troll, but it just felt like everyone “knew” he would fail because the Skins took him and traded a lot of picks to get him.

That being said. He has done far better than I would have anticipated and I know eventually he is going to hit a rough patch. Either way, excited for the potential and just about as excited for Alfred Morris’ sturdy play.

I don’t live anywhere near DC anymore, so I very rarely ever see Skins fans where I live. But I think the NFL is better than other leagues at not having as many bandwagon fans..I could be wrong..But when a person sees me wearing a Skins item or sees my car decal, my typical response for the last 15 years is “unfortunately, yes I’m a skins fan.” I still haven’t seen people near me busting down the door to ride that train, RG3 or not.

I can deal with a few extra fans as long the Redskins don’t turn into the “pink hat” Red Sox fanbase after their ’04 title.

This is an open letter to all Redskins fans and also to fan’s of RG3. After watching 2 or 3 games this year it has come to my conclusion that without proper guidance this young qb is not long for this world due to some of the hits he has already been subjected to. I am sugessting that during the game there will be severeal times when it would be most appropriate to raise the cards with the words SLIDE and the fans could yell SLIDE. This may had life and most definatly add years to his legs and body which he will be able use for many additioal years. You may thank a COLTS fan for this idea.

So every philly fan fits the mold which you say moves on after they say that the player is great? I think every team has these folks. To limit this to the fans of the Skins is just ridiculous.

@thevauntedchris
I can help you out with your question on why all the hate on the Skins. See you sound like a pretty level headed Skins fan so the problem isn’t with you or fans like you. All fans should love their team without fail, rain or shine.

They make statements like”I told everyone he is the greatest(fill in the blank) since( fill in the blank). But God forbid there may be some trials and tribulations ( all teams have them).Go blue. Sorry had to fit that in. When that happens these so called fans are ready to cut bait and move on. That would be good for all as the trolls will disappear and you can bo back to rooting for your home team

If after the bye week the Bucs lose to the Chiefs and then the Saints (If they’re still winless by then), then they might as well tank the season and “Lay flat for Matt” or “Give up for Geno”.
