I agree with that from the teams perspective, but would rather see the player pushing harder to play. Maybe I’m a little old-school on this.

I dunno man. Listening to his interviews lately, he barely sounds like he even wants to come back. Like he’s scared of getting injured again or something. I get being careful and all, but I want my supposed star player DEMANDING to play in a game like this until the team doctors say no. I still say we should look at trading him this off-season. Not saying give him away on the cheap, but if some team will give us close to value for him, we should do it. For me, a first round pick in the top 15 or so would work. At this point it seems more likely he’ll be a bust than a Hall of Famer, but I’m thinking there’s a team that will take a chance on him returning to his previous form now that he’s recovered from the injury. Note this is only assuming we are able to resign Payne.

This picture makes me want to vomit 🤮

Which is why as much as I want to show up Sun night and support this team, and they deserve it, I still can’t do it. Not until the sale is final and he is definitely gone. Yeah “battered fan syndrome“ makes me laugh every single time! I definitely have it.

So why isn’t Dan attending the meetings? Is he still on some kind of probation with the league? Just a coward?

Admittedly, I was just fired up about the Snyder news at the time, not sure I really believed it. Been a while since I’ve truly cared whether we won or lost, but the idea of Snyder being gone has gotten me back into it again.

Fair point, we’ve had a couple of lucky wins ourselves. GB and Chi come to mind. But, last 6 games: NY 1-4-1; Wash 4-1-1. So I’ll stick with my prediction. Note that I was laughed at on here when I predicted the win over the Eagles 😎

Giants had at least three completely lucky wins, plus didn’t deserve the tie with us. They are a 4-9 team posing as 7-5-1. Wash 30 NYG 13. Also predicting another sewage leak at the stadium, but this time into the owners box!

Well of course we’d all love to keep everybody. But I also think it’s OK to reallocate resources. I don’t see a problem with letting a good player go, if it gets us another just as good player that is a better fit. If “can’t keep everyone“ has been proven false, then why do you suppose KC was willing to let Tyreek Hill go?

As fun as it would be to keep all four studs across the defensive line, I don’t think it’s realistic with the salary cap. The money needs to be spread around to other positions, so one of the four at some point has to go. Never thought I’d say this, but we should look at trading Chase in the off season. Right now, the line is playing great without him. With his pedigree, and reasonable contract for the next couple years, I think his value is still very high despite the injury. I’m thinking we could get a solid first round pick for him, and doing so would give us big time flexibility in the draft to possibly trade up for a QB. This is all assuming we were able to resign Payne. If we can’t, then yeah just give that money to Chase.

This is great news! Hopefully he’s gone even sooner. It seems he was dishonest to Congress about when he reported the airplane incident to the NFL, among other things. Any chance he gets a perjury charge out of this?

G’men are vastly overrated. They peaked in Sept. Wash 24 NYG 10.

I know a good divorce lawyer.....

Right. And like I said, that’s your opinion. Mahomes will def not be traded, but another rebrand under a new owner is definitely possible. That’s my opinion. Plenty of ranting from both sides, which I agree is pointless, at least for now. So I’ll let it go. I think we can both agree that any name will be fine as long as Snyder is gone!

No, I get it. It’s just a bad comparison. There are good arguments on both sides of the name thing. Literally nobody would argue against trading for Patrick Mahomes. That you don’t think another rebrand is even remotely likely to happen, well that’s just your opinion. Not everyone agrees with you. The new owner will make the call, and for somebody who can spend 7 billion, a few more dollars for another rebrand is likely not going to be an issue.

Well you can discuss it but I don’t think you’re going to find anybody who is actually against trading for Mahomes?? That would be a no-brainer, as would be getting rid of commanders in my opinion.

Totally agree we are putting the cart before the horse. Yes, the most important thing by far is that Snyder is gone. Until he is, you are right we don’t need to be talking about this. In fact, we don’t need to be talking about anything concerning the team’s future until he is gone. But this is a message board, so hypotheticals are up for discussion. When it comes to changing the name again, I think the big disconnect is that you can’t stand the name red wolves and therefore do not see a viable alternative. But most of the polling I have seen throughout this saga, is that most fans seemed to prefer red wolves, especially over Commanders. And that includes the large chunk of fans who aren’t as concerned about the name and have accepted Commanders. I bet a good chunk of them, if the opportunity were presented, would gladly switch to it red wolves. For me, red wolves is fine. And it’s not a Snyder creation, in fact he rejected it which makes me like it even more! So basically, I like red wolves and despise commanders, simply because of Snyder. forgive me if my take is crazy, but my distaste for Snyder sometimes clouds my judgment.

OK fair enough. It’s not like I’ve been to a game lately, so I’ll take your word for it. I suppose we are stuck with the name, but then again the only one who’s opinion really matters is whoever buys the team.

Half the fan base?? C’mon man, pretty much everyone has said they would like anything else better when the new owner takes over. At that point, defending the name Commanders will be akin to defending Snyder himself. Good luck with that, I seriously doubt anywhere near 50% will agree with you. And people are not going to keep demanding name changes over and over again. One more change, to exterminate the last vestiges of Snyder and then we are done.

Surprised this is even an argument. NOBODY liked or wanted Commanders. Nobody. Except Snyder (and possibly voice of reason?). Yes it’s a lame name, but that’s not why we hate it… We hate it because it came from Snyder! For those of you who think all of the other name suggestions are also lame, OK, but at least they didn’t come from Snyder. All things Snyder must be purged, and that starts with the name. It’s bad enough that we are forced to use the embarrassing wizards (🤮) name, but this is worse. Not only is it just as stupid, but it will always remind us of the hell Snyder put us through. It’s gotta go imo.

Normally I would expect a very close game between two scrappy teams. But right now, every single player, coach, and fan of this team is sky high over lil dip**** selling. The falcons will be cooked sliced and drowned in gravy. Wash 30 Atl 3 happy thanksgiving everybody!

Definitely a letdown situation, but luckily for us Houston is tanking. And the team is still riding the wave of momentum over Snyder‘s departure. Good times roll Wash 27 Hous 13

Great! Roger and the other owners protected Snyder at first, and they deserve to pay a price for that.

It’s a no-brainer to start the Rookie. Just my opinion, but if he somehow can’t handle it then he is not the guy anyway. Obviously he’s probably not going to be the answer, but why not find out for sure? And for those who want to try to win now, the one in 1 million long shot that he turns out to be the next Brady is actually the only realistic chance for this years team to win anyway. Wentz and Heiney are roads to nowhere but mediocrity.

There is a reason so few teams have ever gone undefeated. Good teams like the Eagles get overconfident and start to look past a perceived “easy win“. If the team is half as fired up as we are over the departure of Snyder, they may well have it in them to pull off an upset. After all, there is no such thing as an unwinnable game in the NFL, especially divisional matchups. Wash 27 Phil 24 And if I’m wrong, so be it, we win anyway since Snydely is bye bye! It sure is nice to be interested in the game itself again, it’s been a while. Having hope again changes everything for me as a fan.
