| I was wrong in my predictions. DEAD wrong. Good on our boys for securing the win. Been a long time since I saw a score like that. |

The only one who wasn't proven wrong yesterday was Langley... |
A lot of us picked skins to win... |
Yeah, but Langley believed it |
Langley gets his truth from a teleprompter... |

TRUE fans always want their team to win and any fan that 'picks' against their own team is basically a low life  |

Thanks for the definition. You either don't bet for money or are completely broke. |

| I bet for money every week but never bet on Redskins games. My judgement is too clouded and I cannot possibly root agaisnt them. There are plenty of other games to bet each week. That's why I don't do fantasy either, besides taking too much time i cannot root for any NFC east player or Skins opponent to rack up stats. |

you might be right on both counts ....  where is the corelation here and who cares
it does not change the statement - a REAL fan ALWAYS wants his team to find a way to win
we are still not as good a team as the Saints but we found a way to win that game
I think it's STUPID to bet on games or gamble - I do not give money to bookies
IMO - a person that does not bet on games OR gamble is a LOT LESS likely to be "completely broke" than someone who does  |

I'm in a money pool at work for 5 bucks a week. That is not gambling at my income level.
I pick against the 'Skins when I think they will lose. When I pick against them I cheer for them to win. If they do it's the best 5 bucks I ever lost. If that makes me a low-life then so be it.
The THN pool is free. I never pick against the 'Skins there.
In fantasy I do not harbor Cowgirls on my squad and I sit people against the 'Skins.
Back to topic:
This win made us a favorite in more than half our games at this moment. We were pick'em against the Rams. Now it's WAS -3.
We are probably a small favorite in all division home games right now. We might even be a favorite in all home games except the Ravens and maybe Atlanta. The pressure is beginning to shift toward us.
Should be fun.

| I'm a homer, can never pick against the Skins. I posted on here last week that I thought the Saints would win, but I still took the Skins in my pick'em league. Good thing I am not a professional gambler. |

I'm pretty sure he was talking about Hognostications, where ATX picked the Saints. This subject has been discussed at length many times over the years. Why someone would pick against the Skins, in a pool of Skins fans, playing only for pride amongst said fans, is beyond me. Even if you did win that one game, you have to know that you are gaining a leg up in the competition by picking the opponent, when everyone else is not going to do that. It's not very sportsmanlike. We call those people Hognostitraitors. No Hognostitraitor has ever won the season pool, so you do so at your own peril. |

Of course a true fan always wants his team to win. Doesn't mean they will pick them in a pool or a pick em league.
I picked the Skins to lose in the pool, yes. However, when my neighbor (Dallas fan) came to watch I bet 60 bucks on the Skins. If being a true fan means never being objective, well then I'm not sure what to tell you. |

I honestly didn't think that was a rule. I will vote for the Skins every time from now on I suppose. |

It's not a rule. Pick who you like. I think I made my point above. |
