Still funny to me that some people thought this team would win 10 games, and regarded Howell as a franchise QB. I still think they'll win this one, and be mediocre as always under Ron.

What's weird is the instant segway into having "fire in your gut". How is that related to one's method of transportation? I guess the message is, the type of millionaires that would use US public transport just to contract a digestive illness are the kind of ****IN' killers required to compete in the NFL with no QB. Ron needs to be taking notes.

Maybe I'm just trashed, but this has been pretty watchable for a preseason game.

Looks like an ankle sprain to me...

Heh, getting toasted by josh Johnson. I wish I was surprised.

Lol you know the bar is low when fans are excited by a backup punter.

Got that depth at punter, the most useful position for this offense.

Yeah...he just has the body of an Ethiopian track star and I'm irrationally worried every tackle that he makes. Maybe it'll pass.

Ugh, still Milne on returns. Ron's gonna Ron, I guess.

Yeah....with this OL against talented defenses.. We are gonna see a few games of Brisket if Howell plays like that.

They look a lot sharper on offense than they ever did under Turner.

Lol looks about right. Definitely redskins football.

Heh, 2 runs and a screen. I had this typed before the screen. No faith in the OL.

I typically agree with your posts but how the hell does a one year wonder read option QB claim mentorship of a former league MVP with a straight face? Come on, you can't be serious.

I never labeled it before but I swear it's a genre..

Did they get rid of the country skankrock intro for MNF finally? Seeing the intro at all for a preseason game is weird but I can't help but be relieved.

I think he calls himself a sports journalist, as well...so all bets are off. Pressure makes rock hard bull****?

Just tag TK and ask, he loves being helpful.

I can't imagine watching a mediocre team play preseason football without fried foods and alcohol. I thought that was a requirement.

Lmao this interview with Rivera in front of a giant taco holder is somehow fitting. Rebrand successful.

Feel like the most Redskin thing that could happen is the Ravens 2nd string dominating the Commie starters, so that's what I expect. Worst case scenario, it'll be funny. I really think I hate this franchise more than I love it at this point, but oh well.... it's just a result of having followed them for the last 30 something years. Not trying to **** on anyone's preseason parade, though. Hope is probably a good thing.

I don't think that either was proven enough to render acquiring an alternative a bad idea. Alex Smith was an aging, glorified game manager on the decline and Haskins had a really small sample size of semi-competent play at an NFL level. Granted, Alex Smith had a ridiculous contract and Dan may have demanded Haskins be given the reigns, but sunk cost fallacy or speculation (respectively) shouldn't absolve the FO, even factoring in the benefit of hindsight.

You're not exactly wrong but when the coach in question has final say over personell, that grading curve should be reduced. Acting like Ron has no part in the QBs that have played for the commieskinfootballteam is pretty disingenuous. The guy says he evaluated Wentz and though trading picks for him was a good idea, after all. Desperation shouldn't be an excuse for poor talent evaluation.

I was under the impression that Flowers had always struggled with his weight and finally said "**** it" and showed up to off-season workouts super sized. Not sure where I read it, though. And yeah, nothing in the GOT show made any sense once they ran outta source material. Characters are just teleporting around Westeros and acting counter to their well defined personality traits. How can one even spoil bad fan fiction?

I agree, good/great players wanting the biggest payday possible and not being opposed to leaving this dumpster fire of an organization isn't really RonCrew's fault. That's why I'd never fault them for Scherff or Trent. Cutting a decent starter on a reasonable salary just to "get younger" is a far graver offense. Compounded with Roullier's issues, it really stands out. Basically, I think Scherff and Williams leaving were unavoidable and Roullier's recurring injuries were unforeseeable, while Moses leaving was completely avoidable. I can see why people would blame it all on them, though. The OL has been ruined, and Cosmi is really the only high draft pick devoted to renewing it. They thought they could fill the gaps with ex panthers and coach up late rounders. It hasn't panned out.
