As if we needed more reasons to hate the Eagles and their fans

[wewantdallas]

I was browsing the Eagles newsgroup to see some reactions to the latest T.O. stuff, and surprisingly, they can't stop talking about the 'Skins. Here are some excerpts from some recent posts:

These are based on the whole Mike Barrow ordeal:
"Another giggle-fit inspired by Snyder. The funny part is the cap room
they (don't) have. They have to sign their draft picks and they have a
little over a mil until they cut Gardner. Imagine being a fan of that
team. They go out a few years ago and sign every big money player they
can find. They don't win. They now have little talent on the team and
they still don't have any cap room."

"LOL, he (Barrow) must realize how much they suck."

"Do you get the sense that the character from the comic "Born Loser" was
based on Daniel Snyder and his activities since buying the Redskins?
The f---clown can't buy a break. Couldn't happen to a nicer pinhead."

"Better yet, trading Bailey for Portis then having a quality guy like
Brunell around to "take the heat" off. You take a guy playing good
behind one of the best lines in football to a team with no QB and a
sh---y line and give up one of the few great players on a defense that
can't get it's act straight. No logic whatsoever."

"It's a complete f--king disaster. They even end up dumping the decent
players they draft to create "room" only to bring in corpses that bring
new cap headaches of their own. Great strategy, they operate like a
constipated idiot who keeps eating cheese and wondering why his belly
hurts so much."

This one's from a Cowboy fan:
"It's a great thing, though. Just sit back and enjoy it. Take how much
you're enjoying it, multiply it by ten and you get and idea of how
much i'm enjoying it. I wish Gibbs hadn't returned though. He deserves
better than that. Oh well, nobody twisted his arm, screw him too :-)"

"Joe is one of the few 'Skins I have every respected ..... even with the
current situation I still do ..... hell the guy did just want to make the
team better he was making plenty of money in NASCAR so he didn't need the
money ..... he can't help it he got old and irrrelevant....."


Okay, okay, I know trash-talking other teams is a typical practice among all groups, but...I don't know about you guys...I'm really getting sick of being the NFC East doormat and hearing this kind of garbage day in and day out from other fans. What amazes me is that the Eagles, as good as they've admittedly been, have some serious problems of their own, as well as their illustrious history of choking, and yet these guys can't stop talking about the Redskins.

Lombardi Trophy envy, I guess.

Still hate the Cowboys most of all, but the scales are starting to even out where the iggles are concerned...

Man, i hope this team doesn't let us down this year.

Does this guy even watch football? Who was the #1 D in the NFC? Right here, baby! Friggin' jackhole.

That one jumped out at me too. I also enjoy hearing Cowboys fans talk about Gibbs coming back when Parcells is building a team for 1998.

Everybody on a lot of fan boards is a know-it-all, but they don't even bother to check if what they're saying makes them look ignorant. That's why I like this board. We actually do have folks who know what they're talking about, and the folks that don't (me) generally don't act like they do (sometimes ;))

[GWBlitzST]

The funny part is, this banter was driven by our decision to let Barrow seek a trade. They act like we gave him some huge contract and now are going to take a huge hit by getting rid of him. The Eagles have two guys holding out, the Cowboys had a Snyderesque offseason, and the Redskins have the Sean Taylor dilemma and the Arrington contract dispute to worry about, which seem to be taking care of themselves. Oh no. I like where we stand. Especially at Linebacker.

In yards per game Wash was #1 in the NFC but in the more important category of points allowed we were a close 2nd to Philly.

[BurgundyNGold]

Tell that to the NFL, who rated our D #3 overall and #1 in the NFC.

[BandWagon]

Amen, you know where I stand on this topic my brother!

[lakewinola]

In yards per game Wash was #1 in the NFC but in the more important category of points allowed we were a close 2nd to Philly.

Well, if you take away the points scored by our opponents special teams and defense (brunell threw a few that were returned) we had the #1 defense in both categories.

[MoeRedskins]

Dude, screw the iggles and screw the boys. I am not letting a bunch of jackmonkeys who don't know anything about football bring me down. The TO situation is by far the worst in football right now, the iggles can't get over the hump, Parcells has one foot out the door, Jerry Jones hates him. But regardless, the redskins have been making moves like this since 2000, we talk it all up and get excited before the season, get crushed during the season, and start the process all over again. We need to beat them, simple as that. Thankfully, that is what 2006 is for.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

that one got me too! that fool must not watch football at all, because if he did, he would have seen our new #24 shutting down TO in both games against the fegals.. :devil2:

aww man, i cannot wait until the season starts....:sfight:

What about 2005? I'm not ready to give up on the season in July.

That's right Lady. Or, he might've seen #36 intimidating TO, the little sissy. Or perhaps how Pinkston got alligator arms on more than one occasion playing against us last year.

[ArtMonk4HOF]

I don't even acknowledge half the stuff they say anyway. Philly should be as bitter and rabid as they are. I mean look at all their pro teams, they all know how to get to the playoffs and taste the championship just to come up short.

http://www.sportscolumn.com/story/2005/5/25/04941/3844

Their city hasn't seen a championship in major sports since when? 1983! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!! Chokers. :lol1:


No one remembers 2nd place as the glory days (Bills). Looks like they are this decades Buffalo. TO wants to be traded to the Falcons? Why don't Eagles fans talk about that? Who's gonna be their #1? Flinching Pinkston? The man is built like a stick. Enough venting i guess. This post really got me fired up.

[redwolf1218]

refreshing in a sick way, in that it reminds me how not to act. i wouldnt want to stoop to their level and sound like them. I liked the comments about Gibbs though, for the most part. i say the same kinds of things about Reid, whom i (and many here on this board) have a great deal of respect for. even though he hasnt won all the trophies Gibbs has, he didnt deserve to have that TO albatross hung around his neck. he was doing fine before.

[The Iceman]

funny thing is that the eagles released their former #1 pick. and now TO is holding out. this is great. this means that they will have to run the ball more and brian westbrook ofcourse will not hold up and be hurt by week seven. i love the offseason. there is nothing better than speculation to spice up the summer. yehaha

[The Skinsinator]

The Eagles have replaced the Cowboys as my most despised franchise, by a very narrow margin, because of their ignorant, disgusting fanbase. They have 0 super bowls. Although they have done well in the nfc the last 5 years, they are still losers by nfl standards. Their lack of respect and general assanine behavior is repulsive. Although we have been mediocre the last 13 years, we have a winning tradition unlike Philadelphia with respectable and knowledgeable fans. I despise that franchise more than words can express. I hope Lavar Arrington and Sean Taylor physically maul all Eagle players next season to oblivion. That is assuming they will actually attempt to catch the ball, ala Pinkston. Go to hell Philly and Dallas!!!

I second that. Here in picturesque DE, there are Eagles fan-a-plenty and each one is more football ignorant than the next.

[BandWagon]

Ok, I've formulated a real thought. While it seems shocking that their fans would spend so much time obsessing about the 'skins (and they do a TON of that), it's simply displaced frustration about their own "lot in life". They'll stand behind their consecutive division championships, trips to the NFC Championship, etc. but in reality they're doing their very best to deal with an incredible burden of failed expectations. There's not a Philly fan I have ever run into that doesn't tell me the same thing privately..."It sucks to be a Philly fan, we always choke..." It's just hard to publicly to admit that and the far easier road to take is bashing another franchise when it's down. Class fans would back off of that. I don't recall ever wasting one moment or unit of brain power in the 1980's fixating on why Randall Cunningham couldn't get them over the hump....

BTW WELCOME BACK WWD!!!!

[whitskins]

Who cares what these morons think, every one of their teams have plenty of problems as well, so they can shut up. It's obvious that none of them have any idea what's going on with our team they just make the same boring arguments that applied three years ago.

We'll see what they have to say when we take the field against them this year. Forget these clowns, let's focus on our own squad, not these knuckleheads.

I view these Iggle fans on that board like those rattlesnake baptists you see dancing around on TV. It's entertaining, almost surreal to watch them in action, but I don't take anything they say seriously at all.

[CowboyKilla]

They are truely, foul. We'll see what they say when we beat them.
Yes I said we will beat them at least once this year.

[BurgundyNGold]

Oh, yes, how could I have forgotten? Not only are they losers, but they do it in a most teasing fashion. Even, TO didn't get tired in the Super Bowl.

[MoeRedskins]

Sorry, 2005-2006 is what I meant.

LOL, fair enough. I thought you were working with evidence of a 2 year plan that I had missed out on. :).

[AGibbsGirl]

Seriously...I'm racking my brain trying to figure out who won last year's Super Bowl...and the only thing I remember is that the Eagles lost!

Man, that's exactly it. All my friends up here are Egirls fans, and all I have to do, whether at a party, downtown bar, or wherever, is ask one simple question... "How many Super Bowls have you won?"
Then I'll ask it again.
And no matter what argument they're trying to win, they never can, just because of that fact. They say, "You're living in the past."
I say I'd rather live in a past studded with a winning tradition, a past where winning it all was commonplace, a past with TRUE pride that can only come with being a world champion, a past that can give you hope during the down years, that will ALWAYS have Redskins believing that the pinnacle of pro sports will be ours - and here's the key word - AGAIN.
Egirls fans have no TRUE pride. They simply cannot. And they don't deserve anything except the letdown that will inevitably come, like clockwork, each and every year.
Here's to OUR sense of TRUE pride, this year, and EVERY year.

[GMUskinsfan]

The Eagles have replaced the Cowboys as my most despised franchise, by a very narrow margin, because of their ignorant, disgusting fanbase.

I definetly hear what you're saying the thing that keeps the cowboys as most hated for me is how they can have a team in total disarray i.e their offense and qb situation was/is a mess for so many years (to be fair their D is good.) Yet if you ever try to have a debate with them all they can say is oh we beat you so many times in the past ten years or whatever that streak was and then you ask them what their final records were compared to us all those years and they say yea but we beat you so many times. Attention cowboys fans that streak is broken when you say that you just sound like a yankees fan going hey boston we beat you so many times over 86 years, yea what have u done for me lately.

Great post. No, it doesn't take any of us much to get wound up over Philly. We are all a little upset over their successful nfc run the last five years. That party will end soon though, and ours shall begin. Their fans could turn into a bunch of priests and nuns and my hatred for the Eagles and their fans will never subside.

[BIGSEF3]

Until we win, we will have nothing to say back to these guys in our defense. Let them talk all they want. If we suck this year, we probably deserve every bad thing they say about us. If we win, they will shut up and we can have our say. I think a team's record should speak for itself. right now, our record doesnt give us the right to say much of anything. 6 months from now, I think the tables will be turned....

[IowaSkinsFan]

We've got plenty to say to Iggles fans....whose got the picture of the empty trophy case? Post that in their forum and let them debate that.

[Joe-T]

lol... so how is what they were doing different then what we're doing ?

Heh, heh, heh... ;)

[whistleandthumb]

Look, between us, the Girls, and the Iggles, we have the only coach who DOES NOT have boobs. That's all I gotta say.

[FanFromArizona]

We've got plenty to say to Iggles fans.....

I, for one, actually thought we had a chance in our second encounter to beat the Iggles, if it was not for the bad decision in the 4th quarter on Ramsey's part [the interception in the end zone], I for one was a true believer we were still in the game to the end and had a chance to come back and win. I think we gave the Iggles a good scare. Comparing our head-to-head records would look like we were outperformed in both games. I like how we played the Iggles in that last game, I actually THOUGHT WE HAD A CHANCE, in a game that the Iggles were playing 100%.

The tides are changing my friends, I can't wait for the water come crashing down on the Iggles Trash Talk.

:eaglesuk:

[ItchySkin]

Owens said he'll report on time...i dunno if this is good or bad but I guess he'll be a distraction in the locker room regardless.

For the first time since I've had tickets...2002, the majority of the Eagles fans leaving that game were VERY quiet. They got away by the skin of their teeth and they knew it.

Whether he reports or not, the damage has been done. His relationship with McNabb will never be the same, and I'm sure many of his teammates, as well as the fans, will not look at him the same way. His presence will only cause problems on this team.

I thought I sent a reply on this, but I am distracted tonight talking about the 12/11 game.

I am just waiting to see LA and ST lay the wood on Terrell Owens that Terrell forgets where he needs to go "TO" [or in LA and ST's case, where NOT to go] :lol1:

Take TO out of the equation and the Iggles are not going anywhere "too"

If we play to our optimum this year against them,we'll be in the game until the end. That is one positive we can take from last year-although our record does not indicate, we were in most games in the second half of the year. I think that game was a precursor to what the Iggles can expect this year: although we lost, we made a statement last year about what to expect this year.

Yep, aint saying nothing about particular group of snubbings yet, but here's a "HOMER" (MICHIGANite) article from a schoolboy Journalist. Figures he'd take DETROIT ahead the Skins, Cards, and Giants. With their "Hairraisin' Harrington problem, and still building in some very, very basic ways.

Thats one of the worst rankings I've seen.
Starting with Minnesota at 3, sure they have improved their defense slightly but they have a ways to go and their offense will not be as good without the their best playmaker and their thin RB core. And don't get me started on the moron with the pencil in his ear.

It would take too long to disect the rest of the inaccuracies but 5 thru 12 are all a joke and we will be better than all of them.
They have us at 13, I put us at 4 or 5.

[bgforever]

I would love to take this guy fishin' and let him freak on the big catch he didn't see comin'! Can you say - SHHHH , SHHHH , SHARK!
Yeah the guy's got a bad view on the NFL for 2005. So much "commercially, ESPN kind of stuff. Jeez, please get us a real sports journalist!

[28Zcomeback]

Think about it: for the past 12 years, the Redskins have struggled with each and every NFC East team.

Now, its clear that we're poised to turn this situation around, with young QB's, a game-breaker RB, the best O-line in the conference, a fine defense and a Hall of Fame coach.

On paper, some of the recent personnel changes (Gardner, Pierce, Smoot) may raise eyebrows; but those changes were almost necessary, and by the way, every team in the conference loses players. We could not afford any of those guys for the asking price without hurting the team in other ways. For the price Smoot wanted we could have two good players.

We heard the same crap back in 1981, right before our breakout Super Bowl year of 1982. Sadly, at that time, most of the crap came from our own fans.

Just wait until we trounce Dallas on national television this September.

[Joe-T]

Because until the Egirls win a Super Bowl, they should shut the F up. Not that they will, who cares what they say. Must suck to get so close...
Heh, heh, heh... ;)

Jusy a note ...there was football before the SUPERbowl. :)
Your'e right they don't have a superbowl but I think that they did win a couple of NFL titles (50's or early 60's maybe)

[Santheb]

Until the Skins' start beating the Eagles again, the only thing that Skins' fans can say in their defense is "Lombardi Trophies belonging to the Redskins--3. Lombardi Trophies belonging to the Eagles--0." It doesn't work quite as well with the Giants, and doesn't work at all on the 'girls :( But it works with Eagles fans!

On a serious note, we will have to wait until we can at least break even in the East. After that, hopefully we can stop having to live with crappy journalism and stupid fans. Hopefully that will change this season..hopefully.

And those Yahoo rankings were absolutely horrible.

3 out of 4 teams in the North and West are in the top 10? Wtf mate. And last I looked...the Redskins went 3-1 against the North last year. I don't understand.

how many super bowls have the giants won?

[Santheb]

I just know that the Cowgirls have won 5.

[BurgundyNGold]

how many super bowls have the giants won?
I believe they've been to 3 and won 2 (after the 1986 and 1990 seasons).

[The Iceman]

I believe they've been to 3 and won 2 (after the 1986 and 1990 seasons).
I believe you are correct. Although they had many good dominant teams over the last three decades, the giants have only won 2 super bowls.

Your'e right they don't have a superbowl but I think that they did win a couple of NFL titles (50's or early 60's maybe)
Yeah, I know, if you count the old "Championship Games" we've got like a total of 6 or 7 I think.
But really JoeT, nobody cares about anything except the SUPER BOWL, right?
And living just a stones' throw from Philly myself, I remind my E-girls friends about that as often as possible;)

[whistleandthumb]

That is correct, sir. They lost to Balto.

And I think the Girls have 6. But I mostly blame that on the lame Bills. Stupid Buffalo. Grrrrrrr....

5 out of 8 for the 'Girls.

[X-Factor13]

As i believe someone said earlier in the forum: Dude, screw the eagles. Does it really matter how much they talk after LOSING the superbowl? They can cry all they want as far as i care, i save my trash talking until after we beat them. :rpunch:


but until then :eaglesuk:

Yeah, and I'm sure the trophy from the 1918 World Series kept the Red Sox warm at night through all of their devasting chokes in the 80+ years that followed. That's an Iggle apologist's view.

One of the posts in there was called "An Open Letter To T.O." It basically was one line saying, "You're an a-hole" and then another line that made of fun of T.O.'s grandmother with Alzheimer's.

Now, I might agree with that first sentiment, but the second...how typically Filthydelphia-like.

Actually, my oldest friend in the world has been a Philly fan since I met him in 5th grade, and he's a great guy who's a legitimate diehard. I almost feel sorry for him when the team continues to choke like they have the last few years...but then the vast majority of Eagles fandom that I've encountered restore my joy in the franchise's failure.

Yeah, but Dallass beat 'em badly two years in a row. Cue Homer Simpson voice: "Stupid Bills."
Exactly. We torched 'em once. The Girls have nearly HALF their damn trophies off that stupid team. Jim Kelly - why?!? WHY?!?

Nice, very nice....Now if only I could see a picture of Drew Bledsoe with that same lost look this monday night.

I could never ever feel sorry an Eagle fan. According to them, dominating a subpar nfc conference for 5 years, although still lacking a super bowl title, is still more respectable than 3 super bowl victories. They can feel sorry for themselves for all I care.

[Avg Joe]

I'll calmly tell any Philly fan to actually win a Superbowl then come talk to me. And that's only if I even entertain them.

I get kind of arrogant when it comes to teams that haven't won anything. No matter how mediocre or disappointing the Burgundy and Gold have been recently, if your team has never won a Superbowl, you shouldn't even be speaking to me accept to ask what it's like to see my team win a Superbowl.

[colkurtz]

I live near Philly. Smeagle fans here talk trash but they secretly have no faith the team can win. Deep down they expect to lose in the end. Since they've never won a ring you can see why.

The Eagles have played in a lame NFC East division for too long.
This year, every team in the NFC will give them a run for their money, except probably the Gants.

I just want the Redskins to play the Beagles hard and to win those games. No excuses. Just beat them up and shut them up.

How about lavar makes bledsoe look like aikman did on that famous monday night

[Sweepea436]

And let us not forget the Buddy Ryan defense rants. If I have to listen to my Buddy talk about the "bodybag game" one more time....... :rolleyes: I constantly have to play the superbowl card on this clown, but it never deters him. The guy still talks about Randall Cunnigham like he was Joe Montana or something.......hehehe silly Feebles fan...

[EagleAye]

Oh man are you guys full of hate. Have any Eagles attacked your family? Did they fire you? Oh my God, did someone get murdered? Oh wow, I don't blame you folks for hating the Eagles so much. We don't hate you, we just destroy your will to be nice. Oh well, your turn will come next decade sometime. Surely before those cowgirls.......surely!!

I feel for you........... :cry:

My will to be nice is destroyed when some drunk eagles fan punches my girlfriend in the face when you guys try to invade fedex.

Did that actually happen?! That's freakin' insane.

Wow... I can't believe some a-hole would do that. I DARE some Mama Cass fan to punch my woman in the face. As I've stated over in the ol' Apache, I never leave home without my police issue pepper spray. In the infamous words of Clarence Whorely, "Better to have a gun and not need it, then to need one and not have it."

Especially when Mama Cass is around.

They talk all the time, they have had a few years of little success and they act like they have always been on top. But now they are going on a long slide back to mediocrity. They have no room to talk, they don't have a lombardi. That's it. They have seen the dance, but couldn't dance. So they need to sit back, put back on their kelly green uni's and thier silver pants and go back to Ginos for a steak and think about the fact that history remembers the winner.

That may all be true but we'll give it another shot anyway. What the heck!! :) Not alot to lose seeing that the Redskins fans have already declared themselves the winner.....I truely do wish you luck...and I do mean that, no manner how many of the Redskin fans dis the Eagles!!

[BigCountry]

The Eagles fans do have bragging fans as of now but only a hand full of teams can match history with the Skins. We gotta beat them first though.

[redskinz#1fan]

This is our year to reclaim what has always been OURS!!!!!!!

[smoak]

Why would any Skins fan care what an uneducated Philly boob thinks?

[smoak]

I don't have a problem with the Eagles as a team. Think about it. Every time they are good, they fail to deliver the championship. If we are suffering a down period b/c some fan sold his soul for the three Super Bowls, then I applaud that person. It was worth it, but I am now ready to get back to winning.

The problem with the Eagles is the vast majority of their fans are classless violent goons.

[whistleandthumb]

Are you sure you're from California? :D
Just live here, matey. I'm from Virginia.

And I'm not a gun person, at all, though I'm not against people owning them. I just like that quote because it makes so much sense. It's always better to be prepared, than to be caught with your pants down... know what I mean?

[cdawg]

I love the analogy to our cap problems and transgressions over the past 4 years ... we are a constipated idiot who keeps feeding himself cheese and wonderin why our belly hurts. in my mind, no team has made dumber decisions then we have.
- signing of barrow (and dont tell me we didnt know he would get hurt b/c obviosly teh midgets knew),
- trade for old ass brunell then giving him a long term lucrative contract,
- freakin bringing deion sanders old cowboy ass over here for tons of money,
- letting setephen davis go b/c he didnt fit in to spurriers style,
- not having money to sign gibbs self declared core skins guys like smoot and peirce b/c we signed otehr teams body bags in brunell and barrow
- not working with a consumate professional like coles and instead bringin in short boy moss who is no better than snoop
- benching your quaterback of teh future in ramsey to stubbornly start brunell (all we did there was let ramsey know how confident we are in him)
- dropping ohalette
- i'm tired of the redskins being the *** ******* ******* ******* ******* **** in the lavar-snyder love affair
- letting kenard lang go
- letting trotter go, he certainly contributed last year for teh feagles
- trading champ for portis when betts is a bruiser who could really blossom under gibbs (we could have signed champ didnt want to)
- drafting jason campbell only ensuring ramsey doesnt look back once his contract is up
- love the skins, hate the personnel moves specially bringing deion over here, no forgiveness for that crap
ps - dont bother responding with subjective banter, like i said it is in my humble opinion and i just wish more skins fans would realize how embarrased we should be for our front offices decisions over the past 5 years.
pss -dont pull some republican - well if you hate the decisons you arent a true fan crap please we f'ed it up good the past 5 years with gibbs it can only get better

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

- signing of barrow (and dont tell me we didnt know he would get hurt b/c obviosly teh midgets knew),
its my understanding that the midgets let him go because he was getting up there in age, not because he was hurt. in his whole career, barrow has missed 5 games.

- trade for old ass brunell then giving him a long term lucrative contract
definitely one of the worst decisions, especially considering the money and pick we gave up. there is no denying that.

- freakin bringing deion sanders old cowboy ass over here for tons of money, probably the worst decision made under snyder. :banghead:

- letting setephen davis go b/c he didnt fit in to spurriers style,i didnt like letting davis go at the time either, but cap wise, it was the best decision. plus, his durability is and was a problem.

- not working with a consumate professional like coles and instead bringin in short boy moss who is no better than snoopa consumate professional who b****** about his role in the offense when he had almost 100 catches and has a busted toe. the only thing bad about that whole situation was the cap hit we took.

- benching your quaterback of teh future in ramsey to stubbornly start brunell (all we did there was let ramsey know how confident we are in him)
another bad decision....
- dropping ohalette
huh? ohalete wasnt cutting it, and we still had the #3 defense in the league.

- letting kenard lang go
i liked lang, but hes no superstar.

- letting trotter go, he certainly contributed last year for teh feagleshis heart was in philly and he cost too much anyway.

- trading champ for portis when betts is a bruiser who could really blossom under gibbs (we could have signed champ didnt want to)
besides the 2nd rounder we gave up, i love this deal. we have a young, franchise RB and bailey's replacement played better than he did last season.


- drafting jason campbell only ensuring ramsey doesnt look back once his contract is upJC has yet to step on the field. no one knows how this will play out, i dont think you can really call it a bad decision yet.

i see that you are unhappy about alot of the decisions the front office has made, but aside from brunell, i think the decisions gibbs made last year are ones that have the redskins going in the right directions. you cant deny that some of them were bad but hiring gregg williams, dratfing taylor and cooley, bringing in vets like springs, washington, rabach, patten, griffin, tupa, etc..are all great decisions that outweigh the bad decisions over the last 2 offseasons.

[bwparker]

Yeah, we made some bad moves(you forgot about Bruce Smith, btw).

But I don't think everything you mentioned was necessarily bad, and you've left out all we've done thats good. Cornelius Griffin, Marcus Washington, Sean Springs. Your criticize us for losing players, but don't give us credit for getting them in the first place(Coles, Trotter).

The bottom line its been very tumotous during the Snyder era. He thought he could "shake things up" and get things moving in positive direction, but all he did was spin his wheels in the mud. But as I've pointed out before, his strategy changes every year.
From old Big names(Bruce Smith, Dieon), to young big names(Coles, Randy Thomas), to old character guys(Barrow, Brunell), to young character guys(Casey Rabach). We're not perfect, but its not hopeless, and while the past 5 years have been embarassing I'm still as proud today to be a Redskin fan as I was the 3 times we won the Superbowl.

The problem I have with the Eagles is that "Fly Eagles Fly" song. Has there ever been a more annoying tuneless fight song?

Don't bother with responding with subjective banter? LOL, that's a good one, this is a message board you know?

A lot of the stuff you put up there is true but a lot is also flawed. Stephen Davis was gonna make a ton of money and he only lasted one more year, he's done now. How in the world is Coles a consummate professional when he was whining in the lockerroom all season (reporters have said this since the trade) and would complain to Gibbs about the numbers he was getting AFTER A WIN. Yeah sounds like a real pro. You also forget about his broken toe and the fact that he is damaged goods.

Getting rid of Ohalete? Who freaking cares? We had the #3 Defense in the NFC last year. Cutting Trotter, the guy clearly plays harder for Philly and he was making a ton of money here and played for the minimum there. Betts could have blossomed under Gibbs? He's shown very little proof of that, if you think he could have gotten more yards behind that o-line and Brunell last year than Portis you're nuts. Portis is a top 5 RB in the league. And Bailey WOULD NOT have resigned here and made a bunch of crap ultimatums like keeping around that lame duck D-coordinator just to give himself an out to leave. He was gone from the get go. And Kenard Lang, again who bloody cares, how many Pro Bowls has he made? That sounds like bitterness just looking for something to gripe about.

I agree that the Skins have embarrassed themselves time and time again in the front office over the past five years but last year was the first time this team looked like it was in the hands of a professional. Yes the Brunell move sucked but after that we had a great offseason we built a dominating defense and have really focused on redoing the offense this year. I understand your frustrations but I think you're going a little overboard, that's it for my subjective banter.

[EagleAye]

The problem I have with the Eagles is that "Fly Eagles Fly" song. Has there ever been a more annoying tuneless fight song?
I do agree with you!!
