  1. You can do whatever you want. But it's more credible if you can actually cite what they've done to justify the negativity. I know many of us are still cynical based on what the team has put us through as a fanbase, but the main problem is gone, and I'm not going to transfer my Snyder PTSD to a regime that hasn't even fielded a full team or played a single game yet. We'll know in a few years if this iteration of the team is working or not. In the meantime, I'm going to choose to be hopeful until they give me a reason not to be because, quite frankly, the constant negativity has been corrosive to the fansbase.
  2. Get with the times, man. This is a completely different regime, in a completely different NFL from what it was in 1993. There is no way in Hell that Harris' ownership blunders things more than Snyder did. So you're just bent because he didn't pick the guy you wanted, so that means he's got the curse? Ok...
  3. I prefer to think they were properly sized, and that today's players wear undersized shoulder pads and too few secondary pads (neck rolls, forearm/elbow pads, etc.). The league is always talking about how the players have gotten bigger, and faster and stronger, yet they have no problem with downsized protective equipment. It's led to a change in how players initiate contact, and while I don't know if there have been any studies, I have to believe there's a correlation between the downsizing of protective gear and the increase in injuries. Sorry, that was way off topic, but any time I see the size of pads get mentioned, I look for the nearest soapbox to stand on...
  4. Just getting tired of the idea that this team can't enter a rebuild while Ovie is chasing the record. I think if I were the GM, I'd tell him "look, if you're going to get the record here then you're going to do it as the leader of a bunch of new and young players. If you're truly great, you'll be able to do it under those circumstances." It's not like it's the team they thought would help him get there anyway. Backstrom is essentially gone, Kuzy is gone, Oshie is almost always out of the lineup with injuries. Orlov has been gone since last year. I'm probably forgetting a few. The team has been steadily declining since winning the Cup, which is now 6 years ago.
  5. Doesn't sound like a good sales pitch if you're Wilson. "Hey, Russ, we're gonna give you peanuts to come here and be the proverbial first man out of the bunker to absorb the first hail of bullets every week until our line can pick up a stunt and our stud QB is ready to push you out the door." I can't imagine Wilson's response being "where do I sign?"
  6. I should have been more specific. I wasn't talking about what they were doing on field. I meant the things that helped them be a respected business organization. The types of things that don't become outdated.
  7. You worked at a bar when you were 10? That's the exact culture I want... Seriously though, I would just like the current regime to study everything about the Gibbs era, and then endeavor to replicate it in as many ways as possible. For over 10 years, the Redskins and 49ers were the two best teams in the NFL and both teams had very respected cultures.
  8. So, I don't live in the region and thus don't hear this show. And I didn't realize at first that this was a clip from before DQ was hired. But I'm just curious about the statement the guy with the dark beard and Capitals hat said - "Adam Peters... he's too smart and put together to hire Dan Quinn." So, how did that play out when Peters did hire Quinn? Does this guy have a negative attitude towards Peters now? Does he think he knows better than Peters? I know it's probably not wise to judge based on a 20 minute clip of this radio show, but if I lived in or near DC I don't think I'd be listening to this show during my drive time.
  9. 1. Riggo's run against Miami 2. We Want Dallas - NFC Championship 3. Doug Wiliams' 2nd quarter against the Broncos
  10. I totally agree with you. Too many things are going to happen between now and April that will affect the way the team conducts their draft.
  11. Waiting to label anything arrogant or cowardice is a coward's move... Nah, just kidding. But this just seems to be the way the discussion is going.
  12. Debbie Does Dallas, and Dak does DC... Boys - 27 Comms - 13 In both cases, people are getting ****ed.
  13. Yeah, we'd really be a much better team if it wasn't for those pesky refs. Refs being paid off? That's really what you're going with?
  14. WHat the hell has happened to the NFL broadcasts when they have commercials for meds for women to take for hot flashes? WHat happened to beer and truck commercials?
  15. he's holding them upside down and doesn't even know it. He'll be calling Andy Reid at halftime to find out what he should do.
  16. but he'll be the first one this week to post comments about how they have to play better. He should take his own advice.
