Why is there so much angst among Skins fans?

Let's face it: The taterskins have one of the most frustrated fan bases in the league right now, and a lot of that has to do with their past success.

Longtime Beast and Hashmarks enthusiast Dan Steinberg of the D.C. Sports Bog looked at some numbers this morning that illustrate just how agonizing things have been over the past decade or so.

    * Here's what other teams in the division have done since the taterskins last won an NFC East title. Eagles: five division titles, two wild cards, 10-7 in the playoffs, one NFC title. Giants: Three NFC East titles, three wild cards, 6-5 playoff record, two NFC titles, one Super Bowl title. Cowboys: One NFC title, two wild cards, 0-3 in the playoffs. taterskins: Two wild cards, 1-2 in the playoffs.
    * It's been nine years since the taterskins hosted a playoff game, which is the fourth-longest drought in the league. The taterskins have also gone 18 years since winning a Super Bowl, which is the seventh-longest gap for a team owning a world title.
    * I think there would be even more angst had the Cowboys won a playoff game in the past 13 years. taterskins fans dislike/hate the Cowboys more than any team in the division. I think fans have taken some solace in the fact that the Cowboys have gone through a similar drought. But it still feels like the taterskins are the most dysfunctional team in the division. Is that fair to say?

Lets not forget that since the 1997 season, every team in the NFC has made it to the NFC Championship game.... except for Dallas, Washington and Detroit.


Point, laugh, repeat.

Ah, yes...the ol' "blessing in disguise loss" talk. There are also threads on the front page asking what happens if they go 11-5...

While watching Californication on my laptop I saw the taterskins come up on my muted TV on Fox 5 news and a random thought came over me. Could this loss have really been a blessing in disguise?

me and my girlfriend were talking about this today. i showed her what Fletcher tweeted and she was like, "could you imagine if this was a wake-up call and the skins went on a crazy super bowl run. it would be amazing"

all this stuff in the media HAS to light a fire under your butt. no one that has made it to the NFL is fine with being labeled a "loser"

This is called a good-bad lose. The ego's will have to be left at the door and the individuals will learn there is no "I" in the word "TEAM". The leaders on the team will step up and hold each other accountable. We will be 4-2 and turn this around.

Part of me was hoping for the Lions to win so that this may happen

Mike Florio ( I HATE HIM)
Still thinks the skins will make a run and this is the spark they needed, and he is usually right on stuff like this.

[QB Eagles]

I thought scoring no touchdowns against St. Louis would have been the blessing in disguise that they needed.

By the end of the season the taterskins should be a very blessed team.

hahafunnyhaha did not like that and made it known

[QB Eagles]

13 minutes to go in the first quarter, and the Skins are already down 7-0 to the mighty Josh Johnson and his Bucs. And the Skins received the opening kickoff.

[PhillyPhreak54]

 

ES is in full meltodown mode.

Campbell has two picks and a fumble already.

[PhillyPhreak54]

IGY's boy, the "all-pro" Carlos Rogers just dropped a huge INT.

TB driving again.

[PhillyPhreak54]

 

They finally score a red zone TD (by going for it on 4th earlier because their punter is hurt) and the XP is blocked by Ronde Barber.

10-9 Bucs

[SunMo]

so cooley catches the tying TD pass and Suisham misses the extra point?  awesome

[ATV]

What's the attendance?

[PhillyPhreak54]

A lot of empty seats and booing.

Campbell with his third pick to Aqib Talib....4 total turnovers by Campbell today. 

[Munson]

1st and goal for the Bucs.

[PhillyPhreak54]

And they falter.

Oh my god Nugent sucks...barely makes like a 24yd FG.

16-13

Should be 19-16 because of shtein Nugget's missed FGs
