FedEx Field - Causing Problems To Opposing Teams Since 1997

What?!?!? The place is a powder puff joint to play in....

[PhillyPhreak54]

MDS, you're on a roll...

Wow. You have idea how jealous I am of all you guys. You actually get to go to FedEx field. I've only been there once, for a game a few years ago against Philly. It was terrible. That was the game where Dawkins picked off Ramsey to end it, except he was really out of bounds. Just yet another sign of the refs total disdain for us and how they clearly gang up and make crucial calls go our oppositions way. It's so unfair.

Just being there was amazing, I tell ya. People have complained about how much money parking is, food is and tickets are. Whine and cry some more, will ya? Mr. Snyder has turned going to FedEx Field a first class expierience. Plus, you get to watch the Washington taterskins play. Is there really a difference if you have to pay $10, $20 or $50 for parking? You're getting the privilidge to watch the taterskins play. See Joe Gibbs in action, see the Burgundy and Gold crowd come alive. I don't care about prices, the next chance I get, I'll jump on any ticket I can. Call me crazy, but I just love my Skins.

Were beating them at their own game. It's glorious.

Oh good god...

[Sgt PSN]

hahafunnyhaha is at it again.....

Are people actually trying to compare Bill Parcells to Joe Gibbs? The only coach who is even close to Joe Gibbs is Vince Lombardi. That is it. Not only has Joe Gibbs won more Superbowls than Parcells, he has won them with nothing but class and dignity. Parcells is constantly at the center of media storms, always saying things that bring attention away from the game, moving from team to team and obviously having an obsession with his ego.

Joe Gibbs has only been a head coach from one team, the taterskins. He is the face of the franchise, a friend to all of the fans of the Skins and everybody in the DC area. He does it with class and respect for the game, respect for the fans, players, media, opposition, you name it. Joe Gibbs is everything people should look for in not only a head football coach, but a person. I believe he is one of the 5 greatest people living today. His character and will, articulence and smarts. This is a great, great man. While Parcells has had his share of success, he cannot be compared to Joe Gibbs. You can't compare anybody to him. Except maybe Ghandi and Todd Beamer.

I can't believe these idiots believe the crap their writing.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Jesus MDS is a natural ES'er!

Ghandi and Todd Beamer?!?!?!?!?!

[Sgt PSN]

Is it worth it to spend $44 on upper level seating?

Sassy:

Tickets for the game: $44

Parking 3 miles away: $25

3 beers and 2 hot dogs: $40

Being in the same building as the greatest coach of the greatest team with the greatest owner and great fans in the history of the world: Priceless

53 Bostic 53:

I'm pretty sure the parking starts at $35.

Sassy:

Even better!! More money for Mr Snyder to use on bringing in the best coaches and players available.

[Feva]

You can't compare anybody to him. Except maybe Ghandi and Todd Beamer.

You farger... you made me wake up L'il Feva... and he's all the way on the other side of the house. 

[MDS]

This is great stuff. Ok, the next step should most definatley be talking openly about Art and Bubba and Om and Blondie. Thing is they aren't around now, and I'm impatient.

Todd Beamer jokes are great. People always stop and think, then laugh. 9/11 jokes are okay these days. At least according to my very low standards.

[Seabiscuit36]

Im sitting here at work laughing out loud reading this crap.  Its so sad because if i didnt know it was you guys posting, i would really think it was true ES'ers 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

You guys do know that certain ES'ers check this board and will report you to Art and have you banned, right?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Ha!  Thread entitled "Complete slap in the face from ESPN":

First post (note the spelling of "Ludacris")  :

I don't know about you, but the new vote on ESPN.com stunned me. I know I should expect the taterskins to be disrespected, but this made my eyes strech as far open as they can possibly be. The vote:

Who will represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLI?

Cowboys
Eagles
Giants
Panthers
Seahawks

The NFC East is all included minus the taterskins. Is this Ludacris? Are PROFESSIONAL sports analysts really this shallow? They have turned all their focus on the meaningless preseason without any broad understanding of how we approached it. Aren't they paid to understand Al Saunders has never showed anything during the preseason EVER? Are they paid to understand no team shows their 'good stuff' during the preseason? I guess the Giants will beat enough teams on their unrelenting schedual to actually have a winning record now? Just because they won some games in the preseason? This makes me want to crow-hop towards each and every disrespectful analyst and slap them across their dull minds. Hail to the skins.

Responses:

I love it, keep it coming...more ammo for the bulletin board.

If a crash and burn team from a year ago like Philly gets listed, why not include the Rams or maybe Falcons?

I think what is more irritating is the fact that we actually WENT to the playoffs last year. It would make sense to add a playoff calibre team to that list (especially with additions to our offense) regardless of the way we looked in preseason.

The mediots rarely get under my skin, because I know how blatantly ignorant and one-sided they can be. But this REALLY pisses me off.

and the smackdown from a Cowboys fan:

If your first team cannot execute the simple vanilla plays, what makes you think they can execute the complex, motion plays? You guys keep spouting that Saunders isn't showing anything. Couldn't another reason be that the offense isn't getting the offense yet? I think it ignorant for you guys to think a brand new offense with brand new players are going to come out of the gun firing. You will be lucky if by mid season , they can even be consistant.

Brunnel is o trent green, portis is no holmes or JOhnson, cooley is definately not gonzales and your oline is not the KC line. You guys need to get a grip and realize this offense won't be that good or scary. Maybe later in the year or next year, but not right away. That is one possible reason you offense sucked in preseason.

[Sgt PSN]

You guys do know that certain ES'ers check this board and will report you to Art and have you banned, right?

And? 

[Sgt PSN]

Sassy is happy Portis will be playing:

This news makes me extremely happy. Normally it would only make me happy but now that I'm a card carrying Extreme Skins Fan, everything I do from now on I will do to the extreme.......like Vanilla Ice. I digress, this is great, great news to hear. Rumor has it that Portis was sitting in the trainers room when Coach Gibbs approached him and asked Portis how he was feeling. At that same exact moment, He touched Portis on the shoulder and that's when the pain went away. I don't know if that's a coincidence or not but it's definately the work of a greater power.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

You already got your card?  That was fast.
