  1. As long as the working conditions are good, everyone gives it their best effort, and this franchise stops being a total embarrassment on and off the field, I'm fine with whatever. I'm a fan of this team and I want to see them succeed but ultimately, that's not up to me and I wouldn't even begin to know how to create a solid team culture in the National Football League.
  2. This franchise has been through two turbulent ownership changes in less than 30 years and there is an awful lot of gunk built up that must be cleaned and that isn't just from the Snyder regime. This franchise was a mess during those last few years the Cooke family ran the franchise and could not get its barring when the current free agency and salary cap system was implemented in the 1990s. Bad management and bad timing set this franchise back immensely - maybe more than any other franchise in the league (with the exception of, perhaps, the Browns who, outside of their branding, had to start anew four years after their original franchise left for Baltimore). Even the Lions haven't had the sort of upheaval in the owners suite we've experienced, for better and for worse. And this stretch of futility is longer than the last one we had following WWII. Even the civic/regional connections to this franchise have been nearly severed in ways that never seemed possible (and that started well before the nickname change). All this to say: we are deep in the doldrums and in unchartered waters. We're dealing with an identity crisis that even our predecessors haven't dealt with. Seeing the way the last 30 years have played out has left us shook. It's going to take time, patience, skill, and some good breaks to get us back to respectability, much less competitiveness. We're not used to any of that, especially those of us born after the glory years, including myself. For the record, I turn 33 in April. Personally? I tend toward embracing the absurdity of it all and just accept that whatever happens, it's probably going to suck. If it doesn't? Great! Pleasant surprise. And that's the viewpoint I've taken with this head coaching hire. I didn't want Mr. "I Coached a Team that Blew a 28-3 Lead in the Super Bowl" but maybe time's helped foster greater skill and wisdom and he'll be just the guy we need. But I don't expect this team to be that good in 2024. I don't really expected them to be good in 2025. There's so much gunk to clean out in Ashburn. Who knows when it'll be manageable?
  3. I'm living in the Harrisburg, PA area and the Phans have been understandably but insufferably ****y and there's nothing I can say in response. Nationals do have promise for the future but this franchise still looks stuck in the mud.
  4. Real shame those Kelly Green and Silver uniforms are so sick. They're gonna style all over us in our place and look great doing it, aren't they?
  5. Was out and about for the day and didn't catch the game but when I saw the final score I went "WHAT YEAR IS IT?!" like Robin Williams in Jumanji. What a mess.
  6. It was lights out soon after the 3rd quarter started. I heard our guys scored and was like "well, at least they may make it respectable." I wake up this morning and what do I see? Not that. I am truly not a "GOTTA CLEAN HOUSE RIGHT NOW AFTER ONE LOSS" guy and I still hold the line that everything before week 9 is an extended preseason but you just can't come out that flat against a team like The Bears, especially at our place. Truly, what is it about this franchise and playing poorly on primetime? This spans coaches and even owners at this point. I think the last coach to lead this team to consistent success on primetime was George Allen. But I'm getting off topic. Just absolutely unacceptable. I haven't felt this keyed up about a loss in years.
  7. Well at least someone on this roster can put points on the board.
  8. Like - I know this is what they've done for decades now but I am genuinely incredulous right now.
  9. We let the Bear score on their first drive and go three and out on our first drive. THIS IS A DING DONG FOOTBALL TEAM!
  10. Ian Eagle on the Westwood One broadcast said we look like the Hambugler with these uniforms 😭
  11. ...ain't no way. Ain't no way they moved down the field like that. And no way in the world.
  12. Yeah this is where I stand too. When I heard the TD call, the first thing out of my mouth was "KICK THE PAT AND GO TO OT!" We had a good game today but the Eagles are still the defending conference champions and are playing like they're gonna defend so far this season. You give yourself a chance to win it in OT, which we did have, rather than risk losing by 1 in regulation. This team is not there yet. They're just not. They may not be there next season, either. The Eagles are there, loathe as I am to admit it. They are the class of the conference and were it not for some weird bounces going against them in the last Super Bowl, they'd be the defending league champions right now. That we took them to OT today is astounding.
  13. I hate the Eagles like I hate overboiled and unseasoned vegetables and losing to them always feels bad but we went into this game as 9.5 point underdogs. They were supposed to beat the breaks off of us and after the showing against Buffalo at our place, I don't blame them for setting that line. Philadelphia needed a long field goal to wrap that game up in overtime. Lord knows it could have been so much worse. I don't like "moral victories" either but I can't be too upset about this one.
