  1. He’s using the phrase differently than I’ve ever known it, which is why I think they asked for clarification. Glad he cleared that up.
  2. No, but I think the whole band Ron put together leaves with Ron. Unless Mayhew has money left on his deal, in which it would be a really awkward situation where he stays, which would be another mark on Dan Snyder’s how to run a billion dollar franchise into the ground bingo card.
  3. I would think he means keep the same level of energy but in that outcome it will be in a positive way and not negative. The phrase is simply another way of saying don’t jump on the bandwagon when we’re good. It’s a bad look for Jon to say that, primarily because it’s not the first time he’s said it, nor is he the first on this team to say it. Dating back to the end of Jay’s days here til now, I’ve heard some version of this multiple times. I get it, he knows nothing but empty stadiums, stadiums filled with opposing fans, and fans generally trolling the organization. I’m sure it gets incredibly frustrating and when he signed that extension here, he really thought in his heart of hearts, things will get turned around.
  4. Ron hired Mayhew, it would be slimy for him to stick around post-Ron. I could see Dan wanting to go that route, but don’t see Mayhew doing it. I’m convinced our next coach centric head coach is Dan Quinn if he’s not a head coach prior to Ron being fired.
  5. I think you are confusing business prowess and the ability to be a petty, vindictive, spiteful POS. Two things we know for absolute certain about Dan. He’s completely inept when it comes to business management and he’s incredibly spiteful and petty, and it would seem all the money he saves on dry cleaning and field turf, he’s willing to spend on litigation.
  6. I think we all want the things that you want. Up and coming GM, with some clout, from an organization with recent success. Full autonomy to hire his head coach with a shared vision. But this is Dan Snyder’s DC team with the crappy headquarters and facilities in Ashburn, VA, that plays in a crappy stadium in MD.
  7. Titans 23 Ders 16 BatteredFanSyndrome 88 (Estimated to what I will shoot while I’m playing golf and not watching this tripe)
  8. It’s not. I ran this back at home right after it happened because I saw it in real time and thought “Did I really just see that?”, and replay confirmed I did. That said, it wasn’t as bad as it looks but still really bad.
  9. Oh, the guy with a very well documented alcohol problem, that derailed his career? That Bruce and Dan thought was a good idea to bring into their personal frat house in Ashburn? I’m shocked that didn’t work out.
  10. His wife also apparently has a “background in the fashion industry”. 😭 Beyond the dumbass wearing Dallas colors, he always looks disheveled. In every photo opp, his clothes have more wrinkles than he has wins in 23 years.
  11. When I typed my post up, I was thinking “did I really just spend my time citing Heineke’s stats? Shame on me” and here you come taking the next step with a record of who was missing each game. 😂 That was pretty much the Hive’s rally cry most of the season. I get the impression you all will get your chance soon enough to see Heineke under center with a full deck. So yay, we all have that to look forward to. 😒
  12. Joe Judge was god awful. I didn’t see any tears shed by his team when he got canned. I find it odd you bring him up, because he’s one dude I think of who found ways to lose press conferences. Perhaps I just have so little juice for this team, I can’t possibly get as upset as you clearly are.
  13. I’m not impressed with what Ron has put together and hold him accountable for where the team is. But some of you guys get really carried away with coach speak. I get it, when the team is losing the way a guy breathes is nauseating to some people. 😂 But for me, I just don’t put much stock into what a coach says to the press. We’ve seen it all, the tough talker, the “gotta see the tape”, the everything is great you just can’t see it, the list goes on and really none of it amounts to a hill of beans. I just don’t think there is anything he can say to you at 1-3 that you will like.
  14. They are the lome example I can think of. Had the coach not been Kingsbury and the player avail not been Murray, that probably doesn’t happen either. The stars aligned for that one and to their credit they pulled the trigger. In our scenario, had the Bengals went Chase - perhaps we go Burrow. The concern with Tua was real, so even in hindsight I can give them a pass on that.
  15. We never want Snyder pushing anything on the head coach, even if it’s getting rid of a coordinator we don’t like. Nothing good ever comes from what Snyder wants. I also don’t see him urging Ron to fire a coach with money left on his deal.
  16. It’s asking a lot for anyone to give up on a first round QB after less than one full season under center.
  17. I said yesterday that he looked like a guy who is at the end of the Snyder cycle. Everyone eventually tailspins to a point where they are making very questionable decisions and appear to want to be anywhere but coaching this team.
  18. Plays with urgency to me is akin to comments like plays with hair on fire, moxie, etc. Subjective descriptions to describe a player when the actual stats don’t look good at all. In TH’s last 6 starts, he ran the ball a total of 15 times for a total of 37 yards. He also took 16 sacks during that time. 2 of those games were against Dallas, where he went a combined 18-47 passing with 243 total yards, 2 TDs, 8 sacks, 3 picks, and a fumble lost. In the final game of the season, the Toilet Bowl against the lowly Giants, who couldn’t even spell the word defense last season - he was 9-18, 120 yards passing, 0 scores and 2 rushes for 3 yards. I totally understand you guys being unhappy with the results thus far and how Wentz has played. But Wentz being bad doesn’t make Heineke good. There’s a lot of selective memory going on with some of the folks from the Hive. Let this post serve as a reality check. The lot of us who get labeled as Heineke haters don’t hate the dude at all, but we don’t let the few really cool Heineke moments cloud our judgment- we remember the futile offense that he ran more often than not. What we are seeing with Wentz now from opposing defenses is very similar to how they played Heineke. Bring everyone up tight, disrupt at the LOS, throw off the timing and he will be a sitting duck. The inability to block negates the only positive Wentz really has and that’s the ability to let it rip.
  19. I meant that we won the division at 7-9, this year we’ve got the Eagles at 4-0 who show no signs of slowing down and Dallas winning with Cooper Rush. There are likely 2 teams in this division with double digit wins. I agree on the Giants. I’m sure they will come back down to earth. They certainly aren’t the first crappy team to get off to a flukey hot start that soon fizzles when the temperature drops.
  20. Right, the only difference this season is the division is actually good. But I can totally see them pulling off wins against teams like Tennessee, Atlanta, Chicago, maybe the Colts and Texans. I can easily see 6-6 going into December, the paloffs thread on fire, only to flounder horrifically down the stretch and have us with our dick in the dirt and best case scenario 11th pick. That would be very on brand and the cruel reality we know best.
  21. Rightfully so. My comment wasn’t meant as a compliment to Sweat.
