I hope this is true. Maybe we can get some of that money back. This season is all but over for us, but at least we can look forward to relatively high draft pic. I know it's a foreign thought for our management but I'll let them in on a little secret. You can actually DRAFT players Maybe take a look at a running back like LaMichael James from Oregon or Jordan Todman from Conn.

Yeah I should probably change that, lol.

Yep. Both the Steelers and Ravens embody what most of the teams in the NFL are missing... that's heart and love for the game. We saw that from both teams on Sunday. One of the best games of the year, if not the best, for sure.

You guys notice how this team seems to celebrate mediocrity? I found it funny during the NY game on Sunday that some of our players managed to still celebrate catching a pass for a first down while the other team laughed each time they looked at the scoreboard. Last time I checked, sustaining a drive shouldn't a rare thing for a football team. Last time I checked, as a receiver, it's your job to catch a pass and to try to get a first down.

But it seems on THIS team, if we get a first down, we celebrate it like a touchdown. It burns me up when I see Moss get up and spin the ball after catching a 4 yard pass. There's nothing great about having a losing record or getting your arse handed to you by a division rival. There is nothing to celebrate when you are losing 21 - 0. About 3/4 of this team need to wake up and realize they aren't as good as they think they are. And until we have an owner, general manager, head coach and coaching staff who instill some discipline and a winners mentality with these players, Skins fans in this area will continue to wait for silverware to come back to DC.

Yup. It pisses me off. Save the celebrations for the end of the game. So you made a nice catch? Thanks for doing your job. Now get your *** back to the line and get ready for the next play!

Can't remember if it was the Skins but I saw one dumbass catch a 3rd down pass and get tackled about a yard short of the first down marker. He got up and started dancing as his unit was walking off the field and the punting unit came out!

Now that's a winner right there!

Well they suspended Haynesworth for the rest of the season. Not good enough, IMO. He's not gonna change. He will never be a team player and he will never give us 100%.

The suspension was the perfect punishment. Like Lance says, his number is up in Washington. He won't be back. Plus, now he can't just pick up and move on with some other team. He's still Skins property. And they get to recoup some money by suspending his game checks and avoiding whatever possible performance bonuses he falls short on. He'll appeal it through the NFLPA, but let's face it, the guy's a disruption.

Had they cut him, he could be on the Falcons next week and have a shot at a super bowl ring. Fug dat.

I agree. I think this is exactly what needed to happen. He's been pissing and moaning since the summer, and it's finally caught up to him.

Personally, I also think that making him play every single down for the next 4 games would also be a funny punishment. I mean, couldn't hurt right?

[m4a1mustang]

Yeah, you guys are right.
