We love you Tampa Bay.

I'm going to throw out a wild prediction and guess Marvin Lewis. Checks all the boxes. 1) Flashy name 2) Familiarity with Jay 3) Former Skin It would also fall in line with them being more excited about it than fans. I am curious to see who (if anyone) is named as new Team President, if the rumblings are to be believed.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... Looking like Allen got fleeced by Reid again. That trade is 100% on him.

You are probably referencing the below. TheFanDC: Why Dan Snyder's so furious with Bruce Allen Also, from earlier today. If you trust Chris Ruusell, which I tend to because he's been right about FO things in the past, then that's strike 2 for Doug Williams. Wouldn't be surprised if they start limiting his interviews. https://twitter.com/russellmania621?lang=en

Hard to tell if they were truly upset or not without actually hearing the tone in his response during the interview, but I'm not surprised there is a lack of communication in the front office. WP: ‘Don’t answer your phone’: Inside the trade that brought Alex Smith to the Redskins Not so fun when it's done to you, is it?

Season is still early, but the team looks like it has in the past: inconsistent. Gruden is in his fifth year. Allen, his ninth. It doesn't look like this formula is going to work. I would hope after this year that he is judged on a combination of the following: 1) The results of this season 2) How well Smith performs 3) How well Cousins performs in Minnesota I want this team to win. I do not see it happening with the current leadership. https://twitter.com/andypollin1/status/1041431568370360321 The fanbase is growing apathetic.

I don't think he is worth keeping based off last year's performance, but I could be wrong. I'm no talent elevator. Can someone answer this though: There were rumors during the middle of the season of a potential Pryor trade. I remember Cleveland's name being thrown around. Were those rumors true and what would we have gotten in return? If there was never any intention of bringing him back why wasn't he just traded then? .

All-Time Record as GM / Executive VP / President: 90-117- 1 (.4348) Record as GM / Executive VP / President with Redskins: 52-75-1 (.4094) Record as GM etc. with Redskins minus McCloughan years: 35-61 (.3646) 13 NFL seasons, 4 playoff appearances: 30.7% Boo.

I'm not sure that is ever going to happen. An article from about a year ago: WP: Tired of the Redskins dysfunction? There’s one person to blame.

https://twitter.com/thomloverro/status/960239048785825794 Also, time to update those standings. Jerry Jones (1989) - 4 NFCCG Appearances, 3 Super Bowl Appearances, 3 Super Bowls Jeff Lurie (1994) - 6 NFCCG Appearances, 2 Super Bowl Appearances, 1 Super Bowl John Mara (2005) - 2 NFCCG Appearances, 2 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Super Bowls Dan Snyder (1999) - 0 NFCCG Appearances, 0 Super Bowl Appearances, 0 Super Bowls Is it any surprise that Snyder and Jones, two similar owners, have had the least amount of success the past 20 years relative to the rest of the division?

Well it looks like he's back to being employed, so even if there was no gag order there would be no need to speak on it at this point. Does his hiring back in the NFL give any indication of what happened while he was here or how the grievance played out? https://twitter.com/mortreport/status/960162200466833408

So who can we blame for this move? Allen? Williams? Or maybe they took a vote? Very effective. It sure would be nice if we knew who had final say and signed off on the deal. If you make a move and have faith that it will pan out then you should have no issue with saying that it was your call. Maybe we'll find out in the next couple of days but I'm not holding my breath.

This was posted in the Kirk thread but I thought it was worth a mention since it's primarily about Allen. Washington Times: Losing Cousins should be last straw for Bruce Allen

Jerry Jones (1989) - 4 NFCCG Appearances, 3 Super Bowl Appearances, 3 Super Bowls Jeff Lurie (1994) - 6 NFCCG Appearances, 2 Super Bowl Appearances, 0 Super Bowls John Mara* (2005) - 2 NFCCG Appearances, 2 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Super Bowls Dan Snyder (1999) - 0 NFCCG Appearances, 0 Super Bowl Appearances, 0 Super Bowls *Not including the run the Giants made when they played the Ravens in the Super Bowl. Howie Roseman has the Eagles playing for a Super Bowl soon after Chip dismantled that team. Meanwhile Snyder and Allen are spinning their wheels. Is there any hope for this team?

I hope this is just speculation on Rappaport's part.
