  1. I feel the same based on my experiences with battling cancer as well. I can't see how this is going to work for Ron during treatment/recovery. He should step aside and focus his energy on his health. Coaching in the NFL is a dream job, but it's just a job.
  2. RELAX. If you're going to quote me, please talk to me directly, not to an audience. Not speaking for user twa, but where does twa think the tragedy is funny? He laughed at a Asbury post, but it wasn't at the victims. I stand correct on my response to AsburySkinFan. Look at his recent posts, I think it's fair amount of evidence to make the claim of playing for teams.
  3. Talk about playing for teams. Wow. It's always the other parties fault with you, isn't it?
  4. I listen to a lot of Redskin shows too ....but I watched the entire thanksgiving game to form my own opinion. You can find penalties on almost every play on either team on thanksgiving, when they choose to finally throw a flag or do oddly do nothing to obvious calls is where it makes things interesting. If you're going to be bias at any level in a game, it wouldn't be unreasonable to be low key about it by calling a bogus calls/no call for either team. With a even balance NFL, the officials have more of a impact than it ever has. See the 3rd Down call on our defense in the 4th quarter..a massive back breaker. It's about the timing is where things get strange. Do you have proof that the officials were not biased? I'm not saying Roger Goodell and the NFL boggy man are out to ruin the Redskins and not saying this happens often at all. I just feel there was some bias among the officials in this game. I'm not sure why there was bias.
  5. Please list the games of bad calls that won us the game like it did for Dallas. Yes. I'm for the integrity of the game. I normally don't blame the officials for a loss. Sure, bad calls has went our way in some games, but not in the way it worked for Dallas. Did you honestly watch the entire game? When we came crawling back, the officials suddenly shorted a fuse. It was that bad. These penalties and no calls shaped the outcome of the game. Kinda like it worked for the Texans the week before...
  6. After yesterday, I don't know what to believe anymore. I'm starting to agree with those who think things are bias, especially this game. I don't know what the officials are looking at and how they are missing these calls and why they threw the flags on some of it. It tend to work against us at the worst times possible. Very puzzling to me. But if you think the officials mistakes didn't have a huge impact in this game, then you weren't watching the same game as me. I'm sorry, it was that obvious.
  7. I use to hate that combo until this year when they brought these back. Never appreciated them until now. It's my favorites now.
  8. Talking about which retro uni to wear has gotten old. How about something modern for a change? Trying something new/staying modern is what we were doing for the first 75 years of our teams existence. Unsure why Allen took the cleanest uniforms and went half ass time travel backward with them. Time to move on to something modern..
  9. Makes a lot of sense. I'm surprised how much better that looks. Good job. Send that to Bruce.
  10. Why one thin line? 2 Wide stripes looked clean to me and classic. But I agree with a darker burgundy. Right now, we have one of the most confusing uniforms in the league because nothing matches. For a professional sports team, you would think they would do something to fix something simple because we look weird.
  11. Hopefully they can just go back to these: Just watched some old school Redskins and didn't realized how much I missed those. Especially the white on burg. Looks timeless.The stripes were really cool.
  12. I prefer the khaki gold and that shade of red. Looked more rough/serious. But the uniforms sucked. I'm one of the very few, but seeing an overwhelming amount of bright colors in football never looked right to me. Agreed about the piping being screwed up. Looks like Snyder is trying to save nickels/dimes on a tight budget and probably is.
  13. Yes, technically it is gold. But most people who see this shade of gold will likely say its yellow. To me, it was part of an idea in the late 60s to mimic the packers which is sad. It's an eyesore to look at. When Bruce Allen is fired, hopefully they go with him. That is why I mentioned the those pants started in the 70s, not 30s. Agree with burgundy with white jerseys man.
  14. Hopefully it's doing some modernization or having a consistent look to our team. I love our history, but these uniforms isn't going to bring a 80s Gibbs or Allen back. Need something to represent the present and teams do this through updates in uniforms, no different than we use to do. Doesn't have to be loud, but something better than what we have now. Personally, I hope they fuse the 80th anniversary colors with updated uniforms or at least fix the stripes. Maybe even ditching the helmet stripes. If your refering to the current yellowish gold we now, that is simply not true. Even Burg pants have longer history than these yellow pants. Burg pants : 1980-2009 Yellow gold pants: 1970s, 2010-present
  15. Just watched NFL network's top 10 rivalries ever...skins/boys didn't even make top 10. Interesting.

      Eagles/giants are almost just as irrelevant as cows/skins

      That's crap! Skins/Cowboys is one of the top rivalries in all of sports. The fact that NFL network doesn't even have this on there top 10 list is insulting to say the least!

      Boss_Hogg, I still do, but probably shouldn't.

  16. The thread will never die until our uniforms stop being ugly or we start winning.
  17. Nike sucks. If we ever get new uniforms, I damn sure don't want Nike touching ours. I love new ideas and all...but they have done such a horrible job in the NFL, from the weird neck collars to uniform redesigns.
  18. I was about to say why Tampa would even consider changing anything. Tampa has best uniforms in the league.
  19. Galvatron, doubtful. Snyder/Allen are too conservative with uniforms as they won't let go of the past and do something new. They won't even update the stripes on the mustard pants to match the uniform.
  20. It's sad times that the WWE is forcing themselves to rely on old faces or guest hosts as a cheap attempt to boost ratings which hasn't been working. Use your roster and not guest/legends to hog TV time. Can't make compelling story-lines because majority of the roster has poor mic skills or can't wrestle. Probably have no business being in the WWE. WWE always has had the problem with a handicap roster where most of the roster has serious weaknesses whether it's in the ring or on the mic. If your not a pro with both skills, WWE shouldn't be signing you. Wit no competition, WWE is in the position to be picking & choosy. Problem is Vince goes for "the look" approach and it has hurt them, he still thinks the WWE should be a land of 7 foot giants.
  21. Agreed, time to turn the page and represent this era with modern new uniforms. Can't live in the past. Hopefully Snyder is considering this.
  22. If they could have tweaked our helmets to match (use the spear), then I could live with the 80th unis. Wish we could keep those shades of colors, not sure why we ever moved away from that color scheme.
  23. skinfan2k, Thanks for sharing. If we had to modernize our a team look, that's the way to go. Maybe replace the black with a type of dark red and use a spear as our logo. However, if political correctness wins, I don't think I could ever get use to calling them Warriors and using a letter "W" for our logo.
  24. Why use the 75th jerseys every year? We only had those for two seasons and was never a significant part in Redskin history. The Radio Shack R helmets should be forgotten and erased from history. I can live with the 70th. Then again, it's best if we move away from the throw backs.
