2005 Point & Laugh At The taterskins Thread

[Jake]

As the record stood before Monday, the taterskins had only beaten Dallas once in the last 14 meetings. The last time being at FedEx Field in 2002 during the season finale. It was Darrell Green's last game as a Skin and Emmitt Smith's last as a Cowboy.

Just to add to it, it was also their first win at TX Stadium since '95 or so. Maybe that's why they celebrated the way they did?

Yeah, Heath Shuler was our starting quarterback... and a rookie.

That win meant a lot for the team, too.

I think the Gatorade bath was cool. Portis and Rock Cartwright were the culprits. It shows we have energy and they do care about Gibbs and what he is trying to get this team to achieve.

Of course you do. You're an idiot. It was the second week of the season. Any team/coach/player that can't act like a professional after winning one game early in the season is a farging pathetic joke. But hey. Way to win in week 2. Good job.

This victory meant something to the team, no matter what week it was.

If Reid got a Gatorade bath, you'd be creaming yourself right about now.

You are so sad. You provide no football intelligence, so you cover it up with insults. You've got major issues.

[rjs246]

It's not my fault you've got thin skin. I'm not sure if you've noticed but everyone here gets their balls broken. You seem to be one of the only ones crying about it, though.

Do you remember the 2000-2001 season opener when the Eagles, after years of being a laughing stock, trounced the Cowboys and announced to the world that they were a team to be dealt with? We had spent the majority of the past decade as one of the worst teams in the league and had just beaten a perrenial powerhouse and hated rival. Was our team stupid and unprofessional enough to think that one game at the beginning of the season meant anything? Did they jump around like a bunch of monkeys and hug each other like they just won the Lombardi? No. They won. They shook hands. They left the field. It's called professionalism. Class. The taterskins, from Dan Snyder, to Joe Gibbs to the idiotic meatheads who dumped Gatorade on their coach are a joke, and it was all puton display for the world to see on Monday night. And while the fans are still soiling themselves over Joe Gibbs, the fact is that without Gregg Williams, Gibbs would be lucky to have notched a single win since his return.

You're team won a divisional game. I know that's big news for taterskins fans, but don't pretend like there is any excuse for this kind of exuberence. The whole world is laughing at you.

[Wingspan]

I can't wait until the wheels fall off.  They won those 2 games ugly.

Hell, they could win 9-10 games this year now, sure.  Then watch as they get absolutely destroyed on the road in the playoffs.  That is absolutely their best-case scenario.

Isn't that what the Eagles do every year!?!?   Oh, I'm sorry, sometimes you get absolutely destroyed at home in the playoffs!



You guys are just the best team I have ever seen.  Every year you do so well until you lose in the playoffs.

1999...your last sniff at the playoffs since 1992 before the salary cap era.

Elementary my dear, twat

The point is I'm not ignorant enough to insult somebody when I can't make a point.

Oh, and how is a Gatorade shower classless when you've already won the game? It's a celebration for an achievement.

It's classless to do it before the game is even over, i.e. a college football game a couple of years back when a team leading late in the 4th gave their coach a Gatorade bath before the game ended and then the opposing team threw a long bomb and beat them in the final seconds.

As an Eagles fan, you fail to realize what this win means to the Skins and their fans.

A Gatorade shower is not that big of a deal. It happens. Whoopity doo.

I lived in Arlington and Fairfax county for most of my life. Most of my friends and my ladyfriend are taterskins fans. I understand what this win meant to you. And it's pathetic.

[T_Section224]

my ladyfriend are taterskins fans.

booo.  you lose points in my book for this.

[rjs246]

Are you kidding me? I lose points in MY book for this. Luckily she has been trained to never mention her team to me. She thought she was a football fan, until she met my college buddies (all of whom are Eagles fans) and I. She then made the over-obvious realization that she wasn't a fan, she just happened to grow up in DC and follow them casually. But yes, I lose points, and I don't have that many to give.

I bought four tickets for the taterskins/Bucs game in Tampa on Ticketmaster for the sole purpose of scalping delusional taterskins idiots who'd be laboring under the delusion that their team has a chance this year.

Looks like I found a few here in this thread.

The first $800 for the four takes 'em all.

[T_Section224]

well, at least you've got her in her place when it comes to her team.  i'm sure you could convince her to be an eagles fan, just buy her one of those pink mcnabb jerseys, she'll wear it and not even realize she's supporting the team.

A talking twat?

The internet farging ROCKS!!!!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I forgot to mention that they'd be destroyed on the road in the WILD-CARD round.


It was obvious to us Eagles fans what I meant, but I overestimated the intelligence of the Dead Tree Crew.

Wow, how mature and clever, like I never heard that before.

I would agree that we are overly optomistic but to be fair I don't see what the problem is. 

You guys fail to see that we have some reason for being that way.  We won two Super Bowls when we were heavy underdogs.  I mean Doug Williams was a backup and he produced the best performance by a QB in SB history.  It was magical just like Riggo's run against Miami.  Then we won another after going 14-2 but even then most people picked the Bills and after a disasterous preseason most people thought we were going nowhere. 

Even though recently we've been crap, taterskins fans always have hope because they have seen their team produce miracles in the past.  What's more, the reason we love Gibbs is because he was the guy who pulled this off for us.

I am very sorry that you guys are so bitter that you feel the need to always slam a team and their fans for displaying exhuberence.  I realize the pain that you guys go through every year and I am sorry that you never let yourselves go and celebrate.  I am sorry that your sports teams give you such emotional trauma that you have to be so critical and jaded about everything.  It upsets us when we lose and when we have bad teams but we are not idiots for still believing in our teams, we are just loyal fans who always hope for the best.  Maybe if you guys actually win it will get the chip of your shoulder and then you can relax a bit and not feel the need to always put down other people who are happy unlike yourselves.

Go ahead and say what you want because it will not dampen my enthusiasm.  I know there are problems with our team but there are also many good things that can hopefully help us to win some games.  We already won two.  We were all very excited to win the game on MNF.  It was against our rival (it used to be the biggest rivalry in sports) on Monday night, against Gibbs' arch nemesis, in Dallas and on the night they honored the triplets (I'm sure you can understand THAT).  It was the best comeback ever against one of the greatest coaches ever and absolutely nobody picked us to win.  What's more, it was payback for all the times Dallas pulled wins out of their asses at the end of the recent games we had played against them.  The Gatorade shower was fine and as for being unproffessional I think that fighting with the other team BEFORE a game has even started is a lot worse.  I am sorry that you guys always have to be so reserved because you think your team will ultimately fail and upset you, I for one am going to enjoy the Dallas game for the next two weeks.

And as for Gibbs, you can't comment on him after one season.  He was 7-9 his first time around and Reid was 5-11 (but he hasn't won amy Super Bowls has he so maybe not a good comparison).  And Gregg Williams is the Def. Coord. because Gibbs HANDPICKED him!  He obviously knew what he was doing on that one.  You guys are just so bitter why do you have to hate on everyone?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It's admirable the way you're able to stick up for your sorry-ass team.

How you can be a football fan and believe that Mark Brunell can quarterback a team into the playoffs is beyond me.  Every single pass was a duck.  He has no zip on the ball at all.  And Portis is slightly above average at best.

You're a couple of injuries on defense away from not being remotely competitive.  Gibbs could be a great coach (and he's not anymore), and that team still couldn't manage more than 10 wins and a first round playoff exit... and that's if everything goes perfectly.  You're more likely looking at 7 or 8 max, so enjoy it while it lasts.
