RG3 thread

[Caliskinsfan]

when we lose everything is bad about the team when we win well then the tune is different

After a loss, it is totally natural to scrutinize in exhausting detail every facet of what went wrong in the game for EVERY fan base in the league. That's why they call it overreaction Monday. That doesn't make them bad fans IMO. It makes them passionate and sometimes a bit silly with objectivism.

I honestly don't think skins fans are worse than other teams fans about overreacting, in fact, I would argue they are better, given how long the fan base has suffered. There are quite a few fans on this board who remain quite level headed.

Of course, the tune changes with a win. As Madden said, " Winning is a powerful deodorant. It masks a lot of things."

I think it is a given. NFL DC's will scheme to take away whatever RG3's first read and go to plays were from last year. Thats what they do. As good a player as he is, he was a rookie. He may be able to make the adjustments to what they do, but what isn't a given is that he will have more success on the field this year. Cam Newton had similar expectations last year

In retrospect from 9/3, pretty much on the money, despite the slew of insults lol. He will be healthier next season and could be great, but if they replace the HC/OC, they'd better find someone they plan to stick with, because nothing slows young QB progress like musical OC's

Trust me - this happens with all fans of every team. This is not unique to the Redskins. Nobody can point out more negatives for a team than a fan of that team. I have lived in various areas of the country & have seen this everywhere. The only exception would be a fan of a team that wins all of the time (e.g. Univ of Alabama) & even some of them will find flaws with the team.

Fans are going to be unrealistic at times - it comes with the territory. It is also makes for good fun at times - just roll with it.

I'm really curious how accurate this is about RG3's demands to change the offense. Honestly, I've had my concerns that this might have been the case after his Dad's statements this summer but I hadn't seen or heard anything to legitimize those concerns......until now. If this is true, the Shanahan's have got to figure out how to take the offense back. This will be no easy task and could eventually lead to a permanent rift between RG3 and the coaching staff. But you can't let a player, any player, dictate how we should be used. That eventually leads to total anarchy and will result in Shanahan being fired. He may be axed over this anyway.

a response to Reid's article ... for those not familiar with Twitter start reading from the bottom & work your way up

nobody really knows, some have guessed Phillip Daniels, lol.

However he blogs on the Redskins all day everyday breaking down plays etc ... and occasionally has been known to have inside sources and information. He had had Michael Lombardi on his podcast last season & he knows people in the business like Jason La Canfora. Wouldn't be surprised if he was a former player.

Not sure if you remember that catfish story with the players at the end of last season ? He was involved with that story somehow ...

He's a blogger that has a website under that name as well. Pretty solid analysis and film breakdowns, of all things skins.

embarrassed to admit this, but what the heck was that story? I see catfish comments and that picture referenced all the time. What's the back story? Guess I could google it, lol. Being lazy.

Catfishing is where you meet someone online, develop a relationship with them, but the person is not being honest about who they are.

I think her name was Red. She had thousands of twitter followers, which gave her credibility, and even appeared on the HTTR24-7 podcast a few times. She posted pictures of herself ... that were not really of her but of a super model. Because of these contacts she was introduced, via twitter and texting to players who wanted to meet her in person ... however because she was not who she said she was ... she always made up excuses why they could not meet.

That is the gist of the story.

Thanks Krush, never actually understood why skins fans were referenced as catfish at times.

What you're referring to is Eastbay calling us catfish ... thats his country put down because Catfish are bottom feeders.

Just a weird coincidence he was calling us catfish as Redskins players were being catfished... lol

Finally, I get it, lol. I was always trying to equate the comment to the wrong thing, like trolling under false pretenses. Guess I was enured to the fact, that we have been called cellar dwellers for so long, that I just missed the new 'country' term for it.

national media reaching on this one ...

RGIII asked Redskins not to show his bad plays - NFL.com

This is getting ridiculous. The media is in a feeding frenzy. Shit is now just being flung everywhere. The hell with accuracy. I predict rg3 has a great game tomorrow night. He will use this, as well as shanahan to rally the troops. It's us against everyone.
