RFK Lives

One thing I wonder about, why we did not keep the Redskins font?  We all know the familiar look of that REDSKINS in the end zones.  When they change to the name that shall not be said, they changed the font with the rebrand.  One thing Cleveland did, one of many things they did better than Snyder's clown show effort, was keep the font or typeface of the Indians.  Now, they are undergoing more changes as of late.  However, all NFL teams have that recognized typeface with their team.  I will never like the C name but had they kept the right colors and the familiar Redskins font, might have made it a bit more familiar.  I guess it really changed when they went to Washington Football Team, but will have to google the pics and see.  

I bring it up because the Commanders font and the typography that El Mexican mentioned, just brings more attention to it.  They know it sucks and to their credit, they seem like they are trying to improve it but hard to improve on something nobody likes at the start.

Agree, go numbers or plain until you have a plan to fix it all but as much I hate the name Commanders, I hate the Taco Holder sponsored by Waste Management 10x more.

I like and root for Ron Rivera the person but as a coach?  Geez Louise!  Really?  There is a trait that some great head coaches have in spades and it is humility. 

Gibbs for one.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it and doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of idiocy.

Actually enjoying this offseason and counting down to training camp.  It's refreshing.

I love Riggo and I guess given the NFL no longer restricts the numbers by position and the fact the NFL rarely utilizes a fullback, you could retire 44 and 81.  Honestly, I feel like those are the only numbers worth considering.  They are already in the ring. we have to remember what retiring means, nobody will wear that number again, you need at least 69 numbers, although only 48 active on game day, 53 on roster, 16 on practice squad.  So, even with Riggo and Monk, you got 92 numbers left to choose from.

This was so well done. 

Now mind you, everything decent to us is foreign and new since the previous regime jaded us into oblivion but the video, the strategy and everything, it had more to it than the pathetic rebranding effort by those who's name will no longer be spoken.

And I love Riggo, Monk and Joey T. but I feel like this is the one you retire to represent the longevity, decency and level of excellence of Green and that era.

Vontae Mack...no matter what.

Man, our special teams have been so inconsistent and uneventful, I forgot it was even a thing.

Spot on Conn but now the group is stuck in an awkward position.

Leave the current abomination up.

Take the current abomination down - which will come with a lot of backlash.

Rectify the situation with the a more apropos statue or tribute to replace it. 

Does not have to be along the same lines as Kobe but that mannequin thing has to be fixed.

If it's Quinn, people will be calling for him to be fired by week 3. OF THE PRESEASON

The fact moves are being made and not waiting for after the Super Bowl, the sense of urgency is there but it's not reckless.  Nice to have some adults in charge.

Please get rid of the Commanders name spelled out on front of the Jerseys. Need a new logo something that shows power or...strength for the Commanders. The W is okay just add to it or...looks like a HS jersey.

Sometimes looks are not deceiving.

Well, I hope Tress Way can adjust to a snap hitting him in the hands.

Championship!

So Washington...here we are lined up for a great draft position as our Christmas present but somehow they will screw this up and leave us a turd in our stocking meaning, they will win.  Please before somebody goes on the whole "they are professionals and want to win diatribe"  yeah, I know, we get it, I am 53 and have heard it all before.  We are fans and we want them to lose but not look as incompetent as they have been doing it.

13 - 10 Commies win, Jets lose and the television viewing public that has this game in their market, also loses.

And I get to spend Thanksgiving with a bunch of Cowpuke fans. Bleah.

Ugh, tough to find something there, I guess you can be thankful you are not one of them.

Well, at least wearing black was fitting yesterday...might as well have been a funeral for the season as the Giants buried them.

Prediction?

I will be on my third slice of pie.

Should be cool enough for me to have a fire.

Annoying glare of sun blinding you in the gap of Jerruh World and blinding Sam Howell as the Manders struggle to cross mid-field

Score?  Bovine Cartel - 34  Commanders - 13

Try to have a Happy Thanksgiving anyway.

Every time I see KDawg's new avatar with Major Tuddy I keep taking the next exit and looking for the barbeque joint.

Well, at least Ron recognizes that truth about divisional games.  Maybe go coach up the fellas some?  You laid a big old turd in the punch bowl on Amazon Prime, here's a chance to inch over .500 and if the Eagles lose to Miami, you are at least in the conversation in the division...for a week or so.

   No one said to build him a statue. He has been about a 500 coach. With everything that has been going on with this organization during the Snyder years  that is not bad. 

 It sounds like at the end of year Harris will bring in his own people which is good. Whem Harris bought the team it was to late in the offseason to make major changes.

  The changes are coming at the end of the year. If he going to retire at the end of the year anyway they might as well let him finish the season.

Agree, he did bring a level of respectability and the perception to media and the rest of the league, that at least there was one adult in the room.  I would like to drink a beer or two with Jay Gruden but the perception of the team on his watch was worse.  At least there seemed like there was/is a plan and some direction, a lot of plans and direction don't work out.  This seems to be the case but it's not the absolute farce it was a few years ago, at least in my untrained eyes.

I watched some of the pregame on Amazon last night and all of the commentators picked Washington to win except Fitzpatrick.  At the time

I thought he was nuts but it turns out he knows his former team well.

Yep!  The one guy with insight to that locker room.  Still a lot of carry over from last year.  Who are the leaders on this team?

Well, given last night's performance, black was fitting.  RR is dead man walking and the way the team played left a home crowd sounding like they were at a funeral.

Overall, they do suck...basically all the new unis, I have yet to see a combo that I was like, oh man, that looks good.  Only thing they got right was the finish on the helmet.

I misread the thread title and thought they were making Del Rio's bust for Canton. 😆

I like BRob as he does not put the ball on the turf.  He seemed a bit clumsy between the tackles but he brings the load and initiates contact in open field.  

The guy is 6 games started in this league.  He's tough and did you see some of the throws last night?  The pick was bad, the ball behind Brown, eh, he threw a good ball the next play but the dime he dropped for McLaurin?  That was sick and much better than what we have had in house for a while.
