Question -May have been answered in here. How many coaches have FINAL say in Players and are successful? I think its pretty rare, although it was a growing trend for a while, but not many were successful with it. Bill Belichick does but without Tom Brady -how successful is he? Andy Reid I believe does and that would be the exception to the rule. Any one else? My theory - When a coach has final say -He has his "System" and he sticks with it and he pulls only players he thinks will fit into that system. And if they don't, then he changes players. When the GM has the final say -I think that a coach may have a system, but the GOOD coaches then adjust based on the players they have. They go with "Well -My system can't work because of these players and since I can't change players -I better adapt". All this is to say Is i hope, and believe, the plan is fire Ron and Wright right after cowboys game, hire a GM on monday (I suspect our next GM is already known), and then the GM is told to find a coach who will NOT have final say.

My Hope -In a season that isnt going anywhere and where we can look back and say "IF we only beat the worst 2 teams in the league, we are in playoff positions" the one shinning moment would be the shocking upset of the Cowboys on a national Televised game. Think 2014 Monday night against Cowboys. One of only 4 wins for us and one of only 4 losses for Cowboys. My Realistic thought? Would be shocked if Cowboys don't drop 50 on us. Cowboys 52 -Commanders 24, with 14 of those coming in last 8 mins. Other Predictions At least 4 passes of over 25 are completed by the cowboys with no defender within 5 yards "And ANOTHER Blown Coverage" One of their Receivers will have beaten our guy on a deep route, the ball will hit his hands and drop it as our defender does nothing to alter the play, but then gets up and celebrates as if he made a great play. Cowboys will convert at least one 3rd and 20+ My Step dad will tell me the team should move to Albuquerque My Sister will say "Don't they always lose to the cowboys every year on Thanksgiving?" My Brother in law, will watch 1 qtr of the team since 2020 and say "They still need a QB" My Brother in laws mom (I don't know what that is) will tell me a story where she once meet and had dinner with a Washington QB, but after a few mins of others asking details about who, it will turn out to be a soccer player from Canada who played 1 year in college and whose name was Washington.

Just a reminder to all. 5 picks in the 1st 3 rounds only matters if we draft well. Considering we have shown we can't draft in the 1st round well, Im not sure I have faith that we will. Obviously Im banking on having a new GM and hope Im wrong.

I got a question of you all that go. I stopped going to games in 2017 as the experience was just so bad. Went to Giants sunday night last year only cause i had a suite and I still swore I would NEVER go back. However i was told there were some improvements and i got offered 2 great tickets yesterday So i went. Although I was ashamed and how it was a majority Eagle fans and embarrassed about our Defense, the Stadium experience itself was 1000x times better. Getting in and out was night and day different. The look and feel of the stadium - Just looked better (Fresh paint, fixed chairs, etc). Wasnt impressed with the food but that is prob more Levy Restaurants fault then the team. But everything else was so much better no longer will refuse to go. But i have one question. I saw these seats. Maybe they were always there (I feel like last time I was there those were standing room) but they seemed new. They seem like some of the best seats in the house. But looking at Stub hub none of them seem to be for sale. Anyone know what these seats are called? Do they sell individual tickets for these (They are in the club level). Are they their own tickets? (Which is what I had assumed but seemed odd that NO one resells those tickets).

You right. That should be on my list. Not just that but if I remember correctly he flew the entire team to the funeral and then back for the game. And yes -I should have put "When he announced he reached a deal to sell the team" on there!

So Dan Snyder will finally be gone in a couple hours! Like all 'Skins fans I'll be extremely happy. There are a thousand lists on Snyder's WORST moments (and there are probably more then 1000 examples) but here's my twist of the day. Dan Snyder's (Few and far between) best moments (or at least ones that made us fans happy for a little while)! 1. When he purchased the team. Hindsight is 20/20 but there wasn't a single skins fan that wasn't happy when he purchased it. A local guy who grew up as a HUGE fan. Most of us by 1999 were tired of hearing how Norv Turner was this "Great offensive mind" Norv was entering his 5th year and had records of 3-13, 6-10, 9-7, 8-7-1, and then in his previous year started 0-7 before finishing 6-10. There was fighting between Norv and Charley Casserly and the hand pick QB of Health Shuler was a bust. Snyder came in, fired Charley and Told Norv he was in charge and prove it. Skins finished 10-6, made playoffs for first time since 92 and we got excited. 2. Offseason for 2000. I know. We all look back and say Snyder was too involved. This is where he screwed up. But at the time, you are lying if you pretend you weren't excited! We were signing EVERYONE! Salary cap? Whatever! All the big names were coming to us! We were a very popular SB favorite and all of us were eating it up!! It didnt work out (Although I would argue that it was so close to working out. We started 6-2, finished 8-8 and lost 3 games by a FG or less, where we missed a late FG. If we had a better FG kicker AND Just said Brad Johnson was our Starting QB - We go 11-5 or better. 3. Joe Gibbs 2.0. By 2004 we knew that this was not going well. Danny boy was too involved and making the wrong choices. He was surrounding himself by yes man and it was hurting. We needed a coach and is sure looked like we were gonna get Jim Fassell! The mood was not great, then all of a sudden, it all changed. Joe Gibbs was returning!! Somehow, Snyder did the impossible!! There is still debate about if Gibbs 2.0 was successful or not (To me -2 playoffs appearances including a playoff win in 4 years vs 3 playoffs, no wins, in the 16 years since shows it was successful) but regardless -On THAT day - It felt like all would be ok. 4. 2012. Many of us had Doubts about trading for RG3 (I still hold it over my son that after the trade I said I would rather sign Payton Manning, who was interested in coming) but for 1 year it looked like it was all gonna work out. By now we knew Danny Boy was a cancer -But maybe just maybe he learned his lesson? Mike Shanahan was now running the show (Or at least we thought), we for the first time we had a TRUE Franchise QB! This guy was gonna change the game and we were gonna ride this multiple super bowls! Even after the playoff loss the future seemed so bright. The Redskins were NOT a unpopular SB pick for 2013. That's it. 24 seasons, 4 good Snyder moments I can think of. Other then that -I hope to block out the last 24 seasons and hopeful replace them with better memories!!

Everyone - Stop worrying about the sale. Never mind. I read the link wrong. But I agree with previous poster. A 8b sale will not get held up by this.

It's pretty amazing that Rivera and the Washington football team can still manage to finish .500 in a 17 game season! 😂

Poor Sam Howell. He has yet to step on the field but half the posters have not already decided he's not a starting QB, they have already decide that even if he has a monster game on his first chance, it still doesn't matter.

Ahh -Thanks.

Where did you hear this? I cant find anything about it.

They reason they wont do that is because that would give the NFC #1 team a unfair advantage due to a extra bye week.

Let me give the reasons why this may make sense. 1 -Makes up for lost revenue via ESPN from monday night 2- Makes the TV happy (And they pay most of the money). 3- Makes the sponsors happy (And they pay the TV most of the money). 4- Makes fans happy (For some teams, like us). 5- Makes players happy - 106 guys will get a extra paycheck 6 -Makes 2 owners happy - More playoff money 7 -NFL hates teams that tank. This sends a message to play every game to win regardless if you think you are out. Sam Howell will be the one person who is EXTREMELY unhappy however.

QUICK!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL RIVERA!!!

To me it was Rivera. I'll explain Marty -As a Coach -I thought he learned and only had 1 year. Getting that team to 8-8 was not a dissapointment Spurrier - He said who he was and the results were disappointing, but he was clear that he wanted to not focus on X's and O's, not work 100 hours a week, and just go fun and gun. It didnt work out but he did what he said he would do. Gibbs -2 playoff appearances and a playoff win in 4 years. By all measure he was the most successful coach under Snyder Zorn -expected nothing and got nothing Shanahan -He is #2. I was very disappointed, esp how it ended. Gurden - He is #3. But i didn't know what to expect. He was a very good offensive coach! He just wasn't a leader. I wish he was our OC now. Rivera -Here is why I am disappointed. Because he came right as Snyder was FINALLY giving up control (Not always by choice). He also came right at a time where the aftermath of the trade for RG3 was finally over. Lots of Salary cap room, AND there was a "Reset" in the NFC east. ALL the teams were rebuilding. No one was light out above any other team. FINALLY we had a real football guy who was focused and had all the tools given to him and had the right time to actually take us back to respectability (WHich I think he did) and move us to winning. But then he started making dumb choices (Singing Fritz for 10m. Giving up 3 draft picks. Signing way to many ex CAR coaches and players. Letting Brandon Scherff walk simply to afford Wentz. And then sitting TH against the browns in a must win game. I am trying to avoid Recent bias play a part here -and Shanahan was close, but Shanahan had other things going against him.
