Stinky ways in

[loborugger]

An article in the DC Examiner by Stink. He seems to put the local DC crowd on notice about their team.

By Mark Schlereth
Examiner Columnist

There's an uprising in the nation's capital.

Euphoria is circling the beltway at warp speed. The Redskins' start is their best in 14 years.

And we all know what happened 14 years ago.


But even a flux capacitor hooked to the back of Redskins One wouldn't bridge the gap between the two teams. As impressive as this start has been, there is no way the current Redskins can conjure up the images and success of the 1991 world champions.

Yes, the Redskins are 3-0 for the first time since 1991. Yes, they're playing exceptional defense.



But that's where the similarities begin and end.

Lest we forget, the 1991 team led the league in scoring. The offense was a well-oiled machine able to run or pass with equal efficiency.

The 2005 Skins offense is gathered on penitent knee heaving hail mary's into Dallas' midnight sky and praying for the best.



The actuator of the 1991 team was a group affectionately known as "The Hogs." Names like Jacoby, Bostic and Grimm provided leadership and a nasty attitude that yielded only nine sacks in 19 games and could have advanced the ball against the Russian Army in the dead of a Siberian winter.

The 2005 Redskins offense resembles a 2.5 horsepower Briggs and Stratton motor whose pull cord snapped off during the first tug in July.

The 1991 Skins had Monk, Sanders and Clark fighting for receptions.

The 2005 Skins began with Coles and Gardner fighting for their release.

The engineer of the 1991 party train was Super Bowl MVP Mark Rypien, whose alacrity and penchant for the big play always had the offense steaming down the tracks.

The only visible tracks of this 2005 offense are the ones left behind from the John Deere backhoe that Joe Gibbs used to exhume the career of Mark Brunell.

I know what you're thinking: hater in the house. Yes, I did play on 1991 team. I am certainly biased, but a hater I am not.

I'm a realist who understands how difficult playing and winning in the NFL is. I'm not here to squelch your hopes. I'm just here to curb your enthusiasm.

To compare this Redskins team -- which has three victories by the cumulative total of six points -- to one that won the Super Bowl is ludicrous.

So continue to root, root, root for the home team and raise your glasses high. But quit comparing a team that ran roughshod through the league to one that's simply running rough.

[Northman]

Well said, i totally agree.

[scorpio]

I think you mean "Stinky Weighs In"

"Stinky Ways In" sounds like a japanese porn movie :-*

[Bob's your Information Minister]

The Redskins are really overrated.

They beat the hapless Bears and scored only 9 points.

Then they got some "once-every-ten-years" luck against Dallas.

I'll give them some credit for beating Seattle.

Ya, I realized that after I posted...

But you got the point anyways.

Seattle is overrated as well....as is Dallas.

Washington's good start is no big thing and comes crashing to an end this Sunday with a resounding thud.

[ludo21]

Well thought out article by Mark. Glad he made it and maybe some of the SB talk about the skins will go away.

[TheReverend]

The entire NFC is garbage save Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Philly and Carolina (which is also mildly over-hyped).

Like someone recently said in an article: "The Redskins are officially the worst 3-0 team... ever"

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Stinky doesn't weigh in as much as he used to. He is now a pretty boy.

LMAO, that is too funny. Love your avatar, BTW.

[BurgundyNGold]

To be fair, nobody in DC is talking about "The last time we were 3-0, we won it all!" Such talk would is beyond asinine. We are excited that our team is winning. Beating the Behrs, Dallass and Shehawks by 2, 1 and 3 points, respectively is still 3 wins.

Just to put things in perspective, the Dallass game was not 2 "hail marys". They were two designed plays that, luckily, Roy Williams couldn't defend. Our problem hasn't been that we couldn't throw, it's been that Gibbs & Co. wouldn't throw. I think they've loosened up a bit on that though.

As for the 1991 comparison, it's preposterous and nobody in DC not in need f thorazine is even suggesting that comparison. If anything, there is a comparison to 1982, where the media and the whole league gave us NO respect, which served as motivation to get better.

[TheReverend]

Thorazine... right...

[BurgundyNGold]

Thorazine... right...
How was that worth typing? I'd much prefer to talk football. Wouldn't you?

[TheReverend]

Sorry, you seem like a nice guy and yes I love to talk football, but I really dont this Redskins game is even worth talking about. Maybe if it were in Washington and we let Bob be the D-Coordinator for a game...

[BurgundyNGold]

Wow, so you've already chalked it up, huh? I guess that's why they play the games.

[GreatBronco16]

Wow, so you've already chalked it up, huh? I guess that's why they play the games.

Yes that is why they play the game. Us fans can talk as much crap as we want for it has no baring on how the game gets played.

[BurgundyNGold]

True dat. But it sure is fun measuring up the game beforehand.

and again I keep saying

Seattle aside from the Rams is probably the worst road team in the nfl

[Tredici]

Yeah. Pretty good hoodoo to make a field goal attempt hit the crossbars. Excellent work.

[Mile High Shack]

well that and the walrus thinking a 47 yarder is a sure thing

"you play to win the game"

Holmgren did not and they deserved to lose, the fat bastard...he cost us a draft spot

[2KBack]

It was a solid article, too bad he got the 2005 Redskin receivers wrong

[Odysseus]

Ebonics is not allowed on our forum please.

Since when? We've got 31 flavors of dumbass around here and suddenly we are getting picky? :hitself:

[BroncoBuff]

Actually, I thought Stink was too nice to their current defense. I said it in "Mock's Locks," and I'll say it here:

BRONCOS 30
REDSKINS 6

[BroncoBuff]

Stinky doesn't weigh in as much as he used to. He is now a pretty boy.
He does look pretty good, doesn't he? He really dropped the "playing weight" well. I thought he'd turn into a broken down old man about 2 years after he retired, b/c all those surgeries. I remember seeing his pic in the Media Guide - maybe 10 years ago - and he was wearing glasses. I thought, "he sure LOOKS smart." But of course with the O-Line it's impossible to tell.

Maybe with NALEN you can tell - he went to private Catholic Boston College . . .

But Stink?

He was a HOG, after all.

And Idaho?

They're the VANDALS, for heaven's sake!

I'm hereby starting a Mark Schlereth for the Ring of Fame campaign. Anybody with me?

You guys rehash someones opinion on this board like Skins flamers bring up a super bowl from a decade ago. You cry when we mention super bowl but that quote is alright? Not being very objective.

[-Slap-]

Seattle missed a game winning FG. They could just as easily be 0-3

[Edskins_RVA]

Seattle missed a game winning FG. They could just as easily be 0-3

But they're not... So go ahead and underestimate us like everyone else is doing... :militia:

Also, I agree w/ BnG - This team has may parallels with the 1982 team, not '91.. Not even sure where stinky got that idea, other than people saying this is the first time since '91 that we have been 3-0. Never heard anyone compare us to the actual '91 team..

[STaylor#21]

You people never give up with the how lucky we got do you? A win is a win and I cannot wait till 4:15 on Sunday. As for the prediction 30-6, what are you on? Clearly you have no football knowledge or could careless to see how good our defense actually is. As a matter of fact, I bet 75% of people on this forum are basing your opinion on our Monday Night game against Dallas, sad really.

[Odysseus]

I cant wait till 4:15 Sunday afternoon either.

However, come 7:00 you will be wishing for Saturday again.

I'd say barely beating a pathetic Bears team (a team with a rookie QB btw) and only winning 9-7

getting lucky that Holmgren was an idiot and didn't try to win the game more aggresively and having a kick just boing off the upright

yeah

you are lucky

30-6 is way off. 20-6 is what the score is going to be.

17-3 at halftime

I refuse to predict anything

bad mojo refuses to allow me to do it

Agreed!!!!

You can join me in an OSKIE celebration? It's simple. Go to the game and just yell it like you are maniac or something and even Lenny Walls will get a pick. Watch! It's working!

[Edskins_RVA]

I don't think anyone is underestimating you. If your team loses you won't be anywhere to be found.

So you have a crystal ball now?! Can you get me some lotto #'s? Thanks for the asinine prediction..

[Edskins_RVA]

Smart!! :)

[Bob's your Information Minister]

For the record, I think their D will give your offense fits, but your D is going to smother their O. It's not going to be pretty. I'd say your D is good for a touchdown and 3 turnovers.

LOL thats good stuff right there Ha!

no offense, but I wasn't looking for validation from a hog lover :bash:

[Circle Orange]

I have to admit, he's looking somewhat tasty these days. His NFL commentary isn't bad, either. :rainbow:

Look man, I'm just trying to be a fellow football fan hoping to discuss and hear viewpoints from different fans.. There's no need to be an ass..

I think all fans can relate to the superstitions, jinxs, etc that comes along with rooting for your team.. I was just relating to you not wanting to jinx your team, as I do similar things..

"Can't we all just get along?!" (as they put Rodney in the back of the police cruiser yet again)

[fontaine]

I was living near DC around 91 when the skins won it all.

Dark days indeed.

[Hotrod]

"Can't we all just get along?!" (as they put Rodney in the back of the police cruiser yet again)

Maybe on Monday

[Blueflame]

Yes, he is looking very hot... (saw him in the tailgate lot before the MNF game a week ago). ;D

[Odysseus]

So you have a crystal ball now?! Can you get me some lotto #'s? Thanks for the asinine prediction..

You apparently have crystal balls....reeeaaly easily broken.

That game was fascinating. Reeves got out coached bad.

We will be happy to give the the message you want a bumper.

Thanks, but that's not necessary, Mock... Sassy and I got pix taken with him and that's good enough.... although an autograph would have been nice if we'd had a Sharpie handy. :D

Hate much?

[BurgundyNGold]

I don't think anyone is underestimating you. If your team loses you won't be anywhere to be found.
However, let me pain the picture: If we win, any Bronco fan who acknowledges that fact will have at least one excuse. If the Broncos win, the board will be too cluttered with dumb@sses posting insightful things like "Redskins Suck!" to actually talk about the game with the handful of you who actually discuss football.

That said, I'll be here win or lose on Monday.

[BurgundyNGold]

"Can't we all just get along?!" (as they put Rodney in the back of the police cruiser yet again)
Be careful. Some of these folks don't take too kindly to the darker variety of person.

[BMF Bronco]

That's about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! We're on a damn chat forum, there is no biases here according to skin color, as WE DON'T HAVE A FUGGIN CLUE WHAT ANYONE ELSE IS! The Ebonics comment was based upon your vernacular, not your skin pigment. "True Dat" sounds equally as retarded coming from Billy Graham as it does anyone else! Get over it! tsk tsk tsk tsk

[watermock]

I have seen only one idiot post racially tainted statements, and whenever he has not only has he been crucified by a number of posters here, he has gotten himself kicked out for an indeterminate period. Take your racially laden crap to another board.

I'm not the one who felt the need to strike out at another poster and invoke racial overtones in the process. And nobody is calling you or the vast majority of posters here racist, so lighten up Francis. There was one poster who had to respond that way and then another who had to cheer him on.

If a particular manner of speaking is inappropriate at this board, then a mod could've PM'd me about it. If not, he could've just let it go.

Let's just get back to discussing football.

That actually is pretty funny. All I can say is that each week the offense has looked better than the week before. If that trend continues, the Broncos might be surprised on Sunday.

I don't think you are going to get "Redskins suck" from me. If you read the dumbass posts then you apparently like wasting your time. I'm sure there are no dumb posters on the Redskin boards.

If you want a good take on the game listen and learn. There are a lot of good football posters here.

A pox on him.

Hmmm... that sounds a bit pricey, even for a genuine Watermock autograph. I'd definitely have to pass on the pubic hair... :P

It sure did. Next time I'm making sure to bring my own pen and keep it with me. You just never know when you're gonna need it. Ha!

I've been lucky enough to talk with a few of you. That's why I'm still here ;)

As for other Redskins boards, I generally only hang out at hailRedskins.com. There aren't too many idiot posters over there, unlike some of the other, larger Redskin message boards.

Your site over here is pretty tight though, and you've got some knowlegeable people here.
