    In "I am Legend" (the book, not the crappy movie), the main character was forced to the realization that, from the perspective of the current reality, he was the villain/monster.

    Ball-control offense is the ideal attack: protects the QB, tires out defenses, limits turnovers, sets up PA, and keeps the opponent's offense on the sidelines and your defense fresh. The problem is when you run across a team that drops 21 on you in the first quarter and you just don't have the plays or the guys to close the deficit quickly. When your QB is a turnover machine (why did we get Wentz?) you're screwed; when your Oline is average and you can't run the ball or protect the QB, you're screwed. If we don't have the pieces to move the chains efficiently, starting with an effective QB and strong running game, the slow-tempo/run-the-ball plan is the worst offensive philosophy to adopt

    They're all bums, even Gibbs II. This all stems from Snyder. Asking him to find a quality coach is like asking Ronnie Milsap to spot the prettiest flower.

    All this celebrity focus and speculation surrounding the team is a constant reminder how the franchise, under Snyder, has never struggled to generate buzz off the field, and it's pretty alarming. I want the new owner's focus to be on winning games and re-creating a rich, football culture. Anyone's better than Snyder, but I'm not excited about seeing a celebrity group take the club and turn it into another Jerry World.

    The league would vote on whether or not to bring on board the person Snyder decides to sell to. They're not going to rubberstamp just anyone Snyder picks, so in effect, they get to choose who the buyer is.

    I wonder if Dan will insist on retaining at least a minority stake in the team.
  7. BurgundyBooger
    Ron is done.

    Good thing about any future ownership transfer, the other owners won't be steered as heavily by Jerry's influence this time around, as we're now almost 3 decades removed from his heyday as opposed to just 3 years.

    Why does the team rally around TH and get excited whenever he’s plugged in to cover the supposed starter? It’s like every QB we bring in to start the season can never secure the full support of their teammates and they wait with bated breath for TH to get the call. Maybe RR and the front office should cease trading high picks for QBs that don’t know how to win locker rooms.

    What’s to stop Dan and his cronies from menacing this new GM or sabotaging his or her efforts? We keep acting like this organization isn’t a snake pit filled with entitled and toxic VPs, executives, and family members. They’d make life for this GM or anyone else they perceive a threat or “outsider” a living hell here. How long before this person just flat out quits or, worse, gets sucked into the infectious culture? The only solution is to clean house. Get rid of Dan, his family, his colleagues, his people, and pretty much anyone he had a hand in hiring.

    Doesn’t matter how good a team we think we have or the quality of coach, without a supportive and goal-oriented culture that stresses accountability, this franchise will be doomed to mediocrity.

    To be clear, these are the emails that didn’t need to be approved by Snyder before sharing, correct? The ones that require Snyder’s approval are still being held privately?

    I can’t see Dan surviving this, but at the same time I think the NFL is afraid of what he might do or say. I believe Dan has some incriminating information on a lot of powerful people in the league. He knows he has nothing without this franchise, all his other business ventures have been failures, and being an NFL owner affords him the sort of influence and prestige he’d be unable to recapture as simply another cash billionaire. No one from other big industries and powerful circles would let him in after his name’s been rendered toxic. This is it for him.
  15. BurgundyBooger
    If Dan’s offenses boiled down to just those events, you’re right, since other owners have done worse and were never punished severely. But I think the underlying point of the investigation is that those offenses are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, and that’s what Snyder and the NFL are fearful of. If this investigation were to be blown up, everything, including email conversations like the one that exposed Jon Gruden who isn’t even directly involved with this team, would be open game.

    What is Wilson’s motivation for wanting to leave Seattle?
  17. BurgundyBooger
    So Ron is a piece of **** too, then. Nice leadership group we’ve got assembled here…
  18. BurgundyBooger
    I hope Ron realizes and accepts that his esteemed reputation in league is also operating as a PR shield for Snyder, and that he quits. That would be a tremendous blow to Dan.
  19. BurgundyBooger
    A mere crumb resulting from this investigation caused the firing and certain exile of a popular head coach in Gruden. And that was just collateral damage, and not the primary focus. I can only imagine what the full disclosure will do to Snyder and perhaps other owners/GMs/coaches who were dumb enough to associate themselves with him.

    The main architects of those Super Bowls were the two individuals hired by Wellington. The main architects of the two Super Bowls before those were individuals hired by Wellington. Both Coughlin and Belichick have bestowed solemn praise to Wellington the likes of which they’ve not accorded to anyone else whereas no one worth anything has ever spoken highly of his son, because outside of stepping back and permitting his father’s hires to do their jobs and make him richer, he’s not done anything and I’d hardly call him an improvement over Snyder (as an NFL owner).
  21. BurgundyBooger
    I’d say fire Ron but even Belichick in his prime would flounder here. If the NFL, protective as they’ve been of this franchise and Snyder, can refer to this team as a toxic work environment, imagine what it’s really like.
  22. BurgundyBooger
    Blame the NFL for giving the keys to one of the most valuable franchises in all of sports to a dotcom billionaire frat boy. Of course the league cited the toxic work culture of this place, when the guy in charge has never experienced or promoted any other type of work culture in his entire life.

    You could always stop supporting his product. I know I am. Goodbye all.
  24. BurgundyBooger
    Great. Can't wait until we mimic Dallas and watch him install Gerry as the new team VP in 10 years. He's already helped to handpick a doomed QB no one else had wanted so at least we can rest assured knowing that he's being groomed in accordance with the status quo.
  25. BurgundyBooger
    I'm at a loss for words.
