mappy Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The eternal early-season optimism of Skins fans never fails to amuse me. Haters gonna hate 35-7, and in honor of that wonderful Ravens victory, I'm having an Apple Turnover right now As you should! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The eternal early-season optimism of Skins fans never fails to amuse me. Eh, I thought they were going to be pretty bad last year. Expectations kept emotions in check. Here's the only reasons to be optimistic this year: 1. No more off the field shenanigans (Lamesworth gone and the other big mouths are out of the picture) 2. Snyder has kept his big mouth shut (this should add at least one win to the season) 3. Shanahan has his people in place and some ambitious and talented youth on board (no more buying big names for big letdowns) 4. O-Line is average (good enough for me) 5. D will be above average once people like Landry get back on the field 6. Two capable quarterbacks and 3 running backs in Shanahan's system 7. Dallas and the G men aren't looking to be dominant this year 8. Decent schedule 8-8 or maybe 9-7 this year with promise for future seasons. I'll take it!

I'll buy 1 thru 7, but not in love with our schedule. Sure hope Landry can get back healthy and stay that way--and it's about time the injury bug bites someone else for a change; Eagles are way past due. Trent Williams getting over whatever was eating him yesterday would be nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I'll buy 1 thru 7, but not in love with our schedule. Really? Playing Arizona, Rams, Carolina, 49ers, Vikes and Seahawks is pretty nice. As far as inter-conference goes, you will always end up playing a couple really tough teams. I wasn't impressed with Miami and we "should" be able to beat the Bills. Jets and NE and gonna be super tough. Not having to play teams like the Saints, Falcons, Packers, Texans, etc is pretty sweet. Skins always struggle against prolific passing offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Change o plan for me. The Oct. 2 date is a no go for me now. With the schedule and all the next date for me would be Oct. 23rd. Still need location options given by others but I still think something near I-495/I-270 split close to the red line metro is fair for all.

Some options near there are: Union Jacks or Rock Bottom in Bethesda Dave & Busters in White Flint Mall Hooters on Rockville Pike Buffalo Wild Wings in Rockville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be caught dead in a dave & busters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormitecture Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Would love to say hi, although not really on the board much, so I'm probably not really one that should go...but meeting fellow weather geeks is always fun. FWIW (not much I know), I wouldn't go do Dave and Busters either. Maturity level there rather lacks. Hooters...meh, I'd go though if picked. I like Bethesda, so I'd say Rock Bottom as expensive as they are (prob. just to an ap & beer); Union Jacks I don't know. Wings in Rockville is loud (poor acoustic design, not the people...same with the one in Raliegh, NC that Ellinwood and I were at), but again I'd go if that was the concensus. If I go...Ian...remind me to bring the pet tornado I have of yours and I think I still have your wireless computer mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Nobody from the Mid Atlantic likes to go to conferences held in their backyard, so not a surprise that nobody wants a gtg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
