Skins' announcers on Dallas/Washington

[lkelly]

Watching the end of the Skins-Ravens game here and Theismann-Mike Patrick-Jeff Bostic(?) are talking about both teams.

- 2 of the three had Washington at 10-6 this year, the other had them at 9-7. Joe T. of course had them at 10-6 all along.

- Patrick is apparently a big Skins fan. He said "I hope you're right!" (enthusiastically) to Theismann when talking about the record.

- Patrick said that Washington is better than Dallas as if it were a fact, not an opinion.

- Bostic said that blocking for Bledsoe is like blocking for a statue.

- Theismann pointed to the week 2 matchup vs. Dallas as a big confidence builder for the Skins.

All this was said right before the Skins blew a coverage to let the Ravens go ahead under 2:00.

How these guys can be so ridiculously optimistic about a team that had one of the worst offseasons in the NFL is beyond me. I guess that's why they are doing the Skins' preseason broadcasts.

Oh yeah, there was also a 10 minute rant on why more Skins aren't in the Hall of Fame. They were crying conspiracy. At least Theismann had the intelligence to bring up the fact that Dallas fans have the same claim.

The skins suck...

 

[Bizwah]

The Commander defense is good enough to keep them in every game. 10-6 is certainly possible.

I think they'll give us fits. Julius will find it tough sledding vs the Skins run defense.

I also am very wary of our run defense. We must find a way to contain Portis.

Turnovers will be the key though. If we can take care of the ball, then I think we'll be in good shape.

that is unreal. what a bunch of morons.

- Theismann pointed to the week 2 matchup vs. Dallas as a big confidence builder for the Skins.

I guess if they can stay with in 10 points of the Cowboys it will be a huge boost to their egos.

 

[mullet]

Dr. Z has the Commanders at 4-12. that would be so sweet.

 

[BEASToftheEAST]

The skins suck...

I second the motion. Do we have a third?

Being even-keeled and thoughtful----this is a victory celebration- what were you thinking?

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Joe Theisman is an idiot.. He wants his old team to beat Dallas soooooooooo bad... He has zero integrity in the booth!

 

[mullet]

from rotoworld after tonights game:

Patrick Ramsey was sacked twice in four pass attempts Thursday.
He's holding on to the ball too long. It's been a rough month for Ramsey, who hasn't earned the confidence of Joe Gibbs yet. We're starting to love Santana Moss a little less this year

 

[Woods]

The best part is that the Skins gave up their 1st rounder next year as well .... Here's hoping they don't win a game!

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

My only question is why were you watching the 4skins in the first place?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

the 4-win skins is all I gotta say lol

 

[Danny White]

Well, the skunks just lost on a 66 yd bomb and run. Ha Ha!

Man I hate the skins.

 

[Qwickdraw]

I hate those guys.
Throw Maguire and Simms in that group and I'll fly them all happily to a deserted island somewhere.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Himes 66 yd TD in OT... Joey T. and Bostic are secretly upset.. I can tell! Before the TD .. Theisman has been harping for the past 20 minutes over and over that Himes and Patrick Johnson are experienced receivers playing against the Skins 4rth stringers... :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

Joe said that Dallas had beaten them 9 out of the last 10.

If you are going to ignore the actual current winning streak, why only go back 10 games if you are going to include the 1 win?

As far as Ramsey is concerned, all three announcers listed his good preseason play as a reason for their optimistic predictions. Seems to me the Skins' offense has struggled and Ramsey has a 1:2 TD:INT ratio in the preseason.

Truly burgundy and gold glasses.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

it's funny they are hinging their success on Ramsey, because he's looked HORRIBLE this preseason, and skin fans that I know can attest to it, even Brunell is shining...

 

[calico]

I have seen them play twice and they look no better than they did the past 8 years.

They had one TD drive last week that was not really impressive and they act like they are SB bound.

 

[mbanx]

I hate JT w/ every inch of my being so I will keep it short and sweet FELOOT DAs

Whew that was vulgar.....Go Cowboys
