The dream team!

So what's the over under on 8-9 season?

There's only 1. Hire 3 times as many referees so they can cover the field better and have the games go from 3 hours to 5 or 6, and we can watch penalties all day. Because if you look hard enough you can find penalties on both teams nearly every step. They could change the name from football to penalty ball.

Depends on who's the top seed. If it's Philly Dallas will be playing San Francisco. Philly has a rookie defensive coach and a rookie offensive coach. That's the main differences between last year, and this year. Neither of them should be in the NFL and definitely not on a playoff contender team. It's their arrogance as an organization that thought it was a plausible idea.

Not me. At that point there was too much of the game left to be played. I'm assuming you're talking about when the receiver pushed off the defender, and the cowboy in the booth complained it was defensive interference instead of offensive which could have went either way. They made the right call. Plays like that you can call every time all game long every time the defender gets PD. Buffalo shot itself in the foot with sloppy plays, and dumb penalties.

Interesting take. You seem to think me withdrawing from football has something to do with the Eagles Super Bowl win, and a lack of dynasty?? Ok. My withdrawal came gradually, and I'd say it started before 2017. The year the Eagles won the Super Bowl I probably missed half of the games before watching the playoffs. I was glad to see they won, but my foot was halfway out the door at that point. As the game became more regulated, and politicized I just lost interest in watching. I suppose health could have played a part as well. It may surprise you, but people have lives outside of watching football, or for me any sport. Everybody is human unless that's been broken down into categories nowadays. I remember following the draft the year the Eagles drafted Carson Wentz. I was a fan that watched him when I could at North Dakota. I still do casually follow him. A week or 2 ago I logged in this bulletin board to see how the fans of Washington were taking to him, and tested my old login to see if it worked, but didn't post. This week he's playing his old team, time permitted, and I started reading y'all's opinion of how he would do against them. I saw a lot of skepticism, and pessimism, and I'm not a big-ism fan. That's why I posted. I hope Carson has a great game and wins, but the days of getting excited for game day are over for me. I do remember what it feels like though. I'd actually get cold waiting for the game to come on, and I'd get a stiff neck. I don't miss that :-) Good luck today.

I was an Eagles fan for decades, but can't speak for the current team since I haven't watched much football over the last several years, but almost religiously when they played a good game especially on Monday night they lose the next week. The players would get big heads, and start reading their newspaper clippings from a media that would pump them up like they were Super Bowl contenders after a couple wins. If I was going to bet money I'd put it on Washington. I haven't watched any games of theirs, and don't know the players, but their tendencies go back decades for whatever reason. As a fan they would raise your hopes high, and crush them a few weeks later. This goes back to the Buddy Ryan days.

I read through the whole thing, and my take away is more subtle especially as time went on. Every time I get down on the Eagles, and start complaining about the coaches, front office, or the players I come back to Washington and think wow it could be a lot worse. Washington fans have been reduced to complaining about other teams misfortunes because looking in the mirror is too painful.. A good Washington Redskin football team would make everyone better, and it would bring back more competition to this woefully inadequate division.
