    After a lackluster 6-6 start, Snyder announces on Nov 24 he is selling the team (Happy Thanksgiving!!). They win their last five games, with sellout crowds at home, to go 11-6 and win the division.

    I’m one, and I would be back. Less passion sure, just based on being 25 years older, but other than that I’d be pretty much all the way back in if he is ousted. All I need as a fan is hope, something I simply do not have anymore, 100% due to Snyder’s presence.

    My feelings exactly. Won’t go to the stadium, won’t buy merchandise. Not a penny as long as Snyder stays. I don’t even want them to win a Super Bowl with Snyder because that would lock him in forever. If otoh by some miracle he were gone, I would go get season tickets tomorrow. ’86 Snyder’ is a great handle!

    He’s gone. Not everybody has accepted it yet, but he’s gone. When both sides are playing hardball, it’s almost impossible to come to an agreement. Playing hardball with Terry has to be the stupidest move you can make, so how can there be any doubt that that’s exactly what Dan will do. History says it’s a lock. And from Terry’s perspective… It’s the same as cousins. He may say the right things, but I seriously doubt he really wants to stay. Maybe for way way beyond reasonable money he would consider it, but otherwise why would he? Any team in the league would love to have Terry on their team, and he’ll have his pick of the litter once he reaches free agency. As long as Snyder is here, he would be playing for a train wreck of a franchise with zero chance of winning a title. add to that the embarrassment of having such a scumbag as your boss. I like Terry, and I’d love for him to stay. But what a horrible career move that would be for him. Any decent agent is surely telling him to get out as quickly as possible and don’t look back. He really should move on from the team, just like the rest of us, if we are stuck with Snyder. Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer but reality sucks sometimes.

    This just goes to show that, slowly but surely, the boycotting is working. I encourage all of you to refrain from buying merchandise or home game tickets until Snyder has finally ousted.

    Sorry, but now that the facts are out, I’ll say it... he’s a scumbag. Anybody who would drive around in that condition putting countless lives at risk, including his own, is a scumbag in my opinion. That he did this while presumably cheating on his wife, just makes it worse. Please don’t lecture me about being sensitive to the family… He, and he alone, did this to his family. This was not just a “bad decision“, it was criminal behavior. Another great draft pick by football genius Dan Snyder.

    What a depressing post. I know you are just being “the voice of reason“ and I can’t argue with any of it. But as delusional as it may be, we need to hold out hope that he will be gone. Otherwise we should look forward to continuing to get humiliated by dweebs like JLC and whoever else gets off on trampling an already downtrodden fan base.

    Some would say being “honored“ by Dan Snyder is more of an insult. How can you ‘change the culture’ anyway if you’re living in the past?

    True but the idiot who hired Urban is still there, running the show. No surprise btw that Snyder was also flirting with him. Luckily for us, Urban turned him down, most likely because he knew Haskins was a bust.
  11. woodpecker
    That’s fair. Mostly a crapshoot, but yes there is some skill involved.

    I dunno. Ron said prioritizing high character guys was his thing, and he seems to be living up to it. The draft being a crapshoot anyway, these guys could work out just fine. And either way I think he’s making some good additions to the “culture”. I don’t think the draft evaluators are factoring in character nearly as much as Ron is. Of course it doesn’t really matter anyway because Snyder is still here. And if Snyder were to leave, we’d be so happy we wouldn’t care whether these picks worked out. I’m going to remain cautiously optimistic, even while still expecting the usual failure in the end.

    Never too late for a nice beaver!

    Thanks KD! You don’t sound very confident about it.

    Question for all you film watchers... are you sure Dotson can get off the line in the NFL? I’m worried that thirty years later we just took Desmond Howard again.
  16. woodpecker
    Well after sleeping off my anger, and thanks to the positive input from a lot of you posters who are well studied, I am coming around to the pick. Seems like a good kid, and the only negative is that he’s a little short. You would hope to get a bigger receiver with such an early pick, but production is all that matters and I can def see the kid producing. Plus we have two more picks to play with! I say this all of course with the caveat that unless Snyder is ousted we are never going anywhere.
  17. woodpecker
    How many of them are 5’11 or less? Dotson listed at 5-11
  18. woodpecker
    🤮🤮🤮 a receiver we don’t need and he’s small?? Worst pick since Jamin
  19. woodpecker
    Falcons will have Ridley back next year, and they just took Pitts first rd last year who is pretty much a receiver himself. Not saying they won’t take a receiver, but they have a lot of other holes to fill too, so I think the rumors may be a bit overblown.

    So looks like nobody other than Terry got anywhere near six targets a game. But if you extrapolate their stats to 6 per game... Humphries = 630 yds; Carter = 686 yds. Those were scrap heep guys, and with poor quarterback play. With the QB upgrade, I can’t imagine a guy like Samuel or Dayami B would not far exceed those numbers, given six targets per game. I would be surprised if any Rookie did much better. And that’s if healthy—the receivers we are looking at already have injury histories it seems.
  21. woodpecker
    You all make some very convincing arguments, but I still can’t get on board with taking a receiver in the first round. I just don’t think a number two WR option, getting five or six targets a game, is going to move the needle as much as people think. If this was fantasy football, then hell yeah stack the receivers! Give me Hamilton or one of the top three OT. We’ve invested quite a bit through free agency and draft picks at the receiver position the last few years, so it seems prudent to fill a hole elsewhere and give those guys (Samuel, Brown, Sims, etc) this year to prove themselves. None of them has even had a real opportunity yet due to health or poor QB play. And if they don’t step up, there will be plenty of receivers available in the draft again next year.

    Usually when details are this scarce, either drugs/alcohol or suicide are in play. Doesn’t sound like suicide, so I’m guessing the former. Sorry in advance to those who seem to have a big problem with people being curious about this. The guy had a history of poor decision making, so all of the speculation is appropriate IMO. We may learn the full truth at some point, but there are no charges filed so I doubt it.
  23. woodpecker
    Probably a scumbag just like the rest of them. But they did him dirty in the end, and now he’s squeelin. Let’s hope he can prove it!
  24. woodpecker
    When I read this all I can hear is Bruce Allen insisting “it means you’re close”. Even if I were willing to lower my standards for success to that level, I’d still be stuck supporting that despicable scumbag of an owner, so I can’t. I love your optimism though, and I’m glad there are still fans holding out hope.
  25. woodpecker
    Not about winning anymore. He’s gotta go...period. Winning with dignity will NEVER occur with him. Without him, regardless of record, there is at least hope for both.
