Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted October 14, 2023 GameDay threads are where people lose their minds, and all semblance of rationality. I cannot tell you how many blow-ups we have had, people--good people who are no longer on this site because they could not control themselves. Discussing negative is fine. Being angry at the negative plays is fine, and normal. Going over-the-top and venting repeatedly on fellow Duck fans is not. We lost a couple of good people and a great FishDuck writer last year from the Washington game fallout. I always have trouble explaining where the line of rationality is, because you all know what a crazy fan I am, and I physically get sick when we lose. Yet, even I can see a line... I need a safe environment for people to post, and most important to read. Nobody wants to read banal utterances umpteen times... So, the Dr. Pepper commercial was perfect in conveying what I deal with. I guarantee you--someone in this forum will write the following in the future... 1 2 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one stings Yes, taking a field goal on one of those 4th down-plays near the Dawgs goal line would have gotten us a chance in OT. Two of them would have won the game for us. Hindsight frequently shows the most aggressive play is to take the sure points and leave the posturing for another time or the other guy. Just MHO. Your mileage may vary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac No. 5 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The Tebow pickle jar commercial took some of the sting out, for me. Tough loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
