I won't even give him any attention by reading what garbage he spews.  He was like a JV football coach who just got promoted instantly to the NFL.  He did not belong on an NFL sideline as head coach.  The first season was a fluke and had more to do with the players and what Tom Coughlin left.  I think this past season was the real McAdoo as an NFL Head Coach.  He is young so he may get another shot in a few years but right now, he is not head coaching material.

Completely agree with everything you posted.

Of course when I was saying this to anyone that would listen, I was called a Giants hater (which I am - but that didn't make me wrong!).  It's refreshing to see a sane take on that guy from a Giants fan.

Many posters on the board have made this comment & I've come to agree with the sentiment:

The Washington Redskins are viewed as the perpetual underachiever.  Whatever developments we see (and have seen) regarding The Team gets lost in the shallow analysis of  "well it's The Redskins.  You know what to expect".

And no matter what happens, until The Organization turns the page and starts consistently Winning & competing for stuff - Division Titles, Playoff Berths, etc., we will get that rote one liner last-in-the-Division prognostication.

I didn't want to believe that initially either. 

Being an unreasonably optimistic fan, I am always ready to see the sunny side of our prospects.  But the nat'l outlets have a point.  Until Washington makes a point of busting the bumbling, rudderless franchise mold, we know what we can expect from the National Observers.  Year after year.

Here's to busting the mold this season!

I firmly believe that The NFL is undergoing a transition phase (and I've mentioned that here and here).  That explains all of the wackiness.

And I am convinced that The Redskins have what it takes to become part of this next generation of Contenders.  Yes, Kirk must stay.  Otherwise, it would seem that we'll shut our window.

I'm hoping against hope that their ownership tries to put out the fire in the Offseason & keep him.  They'll go nowhere for the next five years.

For the record, I hate 'em too.  And I'm convinced this season marks the beginning of their decline into the abyss http://bit.ly/2xbUGly

After today, McAdoo is the drum major on this list.  Hell, at least Indy's been competitive (and I've considered Pagano a dead man walking all year).  Getting 51 Points hung around your neck at the crib is inexcusable!  If New York keeps him, that would be colossally incompetent.  But I hope they do.

Pagano should still go.  The Colts are going nowhere fast.

So should that nincompoop in Tampa.  Never heard of him, and now I know why - he couldn't beat a yellow light.

(Honorable Mention: Adam Gase.  I would've fired him for the cocaine Coach - that's the most egregious case of a "lack of institutional control" that I have ever seen in The League.  Plus, trading away one of your best players during the season is criminal negligence!  Sack him too.)

Those are the three names written in stone in the book of death thus far.  Seems like the season has to play out to get an idea of the full list.

That was our last chance to win this year. On to next year.

Puh-leeese.  Michigan State is a layup. 

That 4th Stringer did look pretty good, even in defeat.

DJ's gotta trust the kid to Win.  That's the only way it's gonna happen.

Max, Max, Max. Holds the ball too long. Late with throws.

And the turtles are gonna lose to Rutgers because of it. 

This is crazy - these Officials are clearly biased against Maryland.  That unsportsmanlike call was ridiculous.

WoW!  Big Win in spite of the Officials calling the game.

I know Durkin's gonna go crazy about it after this one.

And missed the facemask on the big kick return.

 

This team is showing a lot of heart. The D J factor.

Yeah, but the Head of Officiating has dough on Indiana.  Why else would ALL the calls go against Maryland?

Looks like the last team with the rock will Win it.

That block may have just Won the game!

PUNCH IT IN!

AND THAT'S A HORSE COLLAR!!

Bet they won't call that!

They REEEEEALLY let Indiana off the hook with that empty possession.

C'mon Terps!

I like Coach - he's an amazing recruiter & motivator.

But why on earth would you have DJ Moore Field a Punt at the end of the Half like that?  What was to be gained? 

You already have the lead & get The Ball back to begin the 2nd Half.  Now he's hurt.

Unbelievable.

I believe that we will Win.

I believe that we will Win on Monday Night.

I believe that we will Win on Monday Night Football against Philadelphia.

(just wanted it On Record before it happens)

I've never in my life seen a team repeatedly snakebit by injuries at QB like Maryland.

@pjfootballer You've got to admit that when you're down to your 4th String(!) QB, it's difficult to be competitive.

Especially in the Big 10.

Yo, this has got to be THE WORST CREW I've ever seen call a game!  These guys are rank amateurs...it makes the game very hard to watch.

WHY DO ALL MARYLAND QUARTERBACKS GET INJURED!!!!????

Im still watching. 

 

Im also watching my alma mater, Memphis playing Navy at the same time.

Funny, 'cause I'm doing the same thing (although I didn't go to Memphis).

There's that Turnover!!

(Hey, where'd everybody go?)

Touchdown!  There it is!

Think we need to make a QB change.

 

The defense is struggling to stop the Wildcats and I don't think Max is capable of leading a comeback at this stage.

Sure doesn't look like it.  

The team needs a game-changing Turnover.
