I actually watched a few minutes of the deadskins game this past week. Just happened to flip on the tube with the game almost over. Pathetic.
They were tied with about 7 min left. Then drove the field and because of a moronic play by the receiver missed a 1st down on 3rd down (near the 20 yard line) and ended up kicking a field goal to go ahead by 3 with like 4 minutes left. I knew they were done right then and there.
The talking heads kept saying....the receiver made a rookie mistake...a rookie mistake. The fucking guy IS a rookie, but you can't tell me he has never played the game before and doesn't absolutely KNOW he has to dive across the 1st down line, NOT stand there and try and juke a guy and then get stopped. Rookie, okay, but the guy has played ball his WHOLE FUCKING LIFE. And that's on the coach too. And it was selfish. He wanted the highlight reel with him juking the guy at the 20 and running it in. IF he had just leaned forward, taken the hit and got the 1st down, it would probably won them the game (IF they managed to get a touchdown)
THe organization is a disaster so the team is a disaster. None of them play for each other. They play for themselves. Well, this is what you get. I blame ownership and the brain trust. They have run this franchise into the ground. I use to be a fan and now the only feelings I feel are disgust, disdain, and shame. I would be ashamed to call myself a Redskins fan. I am ashamed that this is what has become of a team I once proudly and strongly supported. The whole league is a disaster because of the values that they portray and embrace. I haven't wanted to be a fan in years now an every time I slip up and watch ANY NFL football, I regret it. The whole NFL deserves to die of it's own selfish greed.
I think that is why I am still a hockey fan, because to be successful in achieving the ultimate goal (Lord Stanley) you truly need a team effort, with all hands, all hearts applying themselves to one goal. Everyone giving everything they have in a combined effort, feeding off one another. THat was the best part of winning the cup...seeing all the guys pull together, all parts working, all guys all in, and being finally rewarded for their efforts. It was a beautiful thing to watch and be a part of after decades of disappointment.
I honestly see some off that in this year's team. These guys are enjoying the game and play for each other.
I do NOT see ANY of that in ANY of the NFL football I see. It is such a turn off to watch. I say FU NFL and the Redskins.
