Unbias

Well this accurately reflects the circus. One of the worst outcomes are that the team is actually successful on the football field.

I'm calling BS on Kirk's production trending downward horribly.

I'd also argue that if after 5 years of him being on the team you know what you are getting. Having a 5 game slip up shouldn't mean much in the grander context. For example, if Dak has a few more games like yesterday does that mean the Cowboys won't extend? Hell no. Might get them $1-2M off the annual price, but not a reason to move on. The reason why Kirk isn't still a Redskin is simple - Bruce constantly tried to low ball him. Kirk's side just got fed up, dug their feet in and essentially forced their move off the team.

Wow. Knowing Eagle fans they will just take over the Redskins side and be extra loud. Let's hope they are already out of the playoffs. If it's a win-and-in scenario for them it would probably be best just to shift the home game to Philly.

Okay Millennial....

Q: What's the best seats to watch a Redskins game? A: My couch. Q: Why? A: I can change the channel.

Actually in retrospect we have been fairly good at drafting. It's our culture that disallows players to reach their potential. That should give no one comfort because it's way worse.

Currently I'm holding out hope that the playcalling is so bad that it's making him look worse. Technically you can say I'm 'hopeful'....

Extremely sad situation. It's a fatality, so the police will investigate. Let's just give all the people who are morning some space and let the process play itself out.

I've never been shamed for wearing Redskins gear, but I've gotten genuine pity from other football fans. From that perspective we are probably clumped into fans of teams like the Dolphins, Bengals and Browns of old. Specifically with the name I have had some very open discussions with friends of mine that are Native Americans. One specific conversation sticks out where it was me (white guy) and 4 Native Americans. 2 didn't care, one was offended and the other didn't feel good about it, but also didn't want to make an issue about it. Overall a very small sample, but knowing the people and hearing how it made them feel I do look at things a bit differently. For me the name doesn't mean too much, so I respectively avoid using the team name around the two individuals above. IMHO if a word offends someone I can easily change it. There's a lot of debate over the origin of the word 'Redskins' and some of those stories are pretty dark. If that's where it takes some people it's easier just to avoid the conflict altogether. Also, when I'm bringing up the team I'm not wanting to have this heavier conversation. I typically just want to talk football. If I can call them 'Washington' in front of certain crowds to get down to talking football (and avoiding something else) that works for me.

Kirk looked pretty good in that prime time game against the Cowboys... That used to be an area where he'd buckle... Meanwhile, we've had two prime time games and things haven't really went well at all.

What I think I'd do - Make all the changes needed to win a championship. What would actually happen - Find out winning a championship is not easy, get overwhelmed and hire someone do to everything. I'd eventually fire that person because I couldn't help but to second guess their decisions that didn't immediately pay off. Eventually I'd be surrounded by a bunch of 'yes men', which will force the team to be in a constant circle of me realizing I need to let go the power only to take it all back a couple years later. Wait a second... I've just turned into the one I hate the most...

I think this is Trent's version of going full Antonio Brown. Just make it so painful to deal with that the team has to move on.

This is sort of off topic, but I think NFLPA will start to get some load management built into their contracts. For example, if a RB is goes a season with more than 40% of the offensive touches his contract becomes fully guaranteed. Teams will then have to balance their play calling with the contracts they have signed and possibly having guys be healthy scratches if they are getting close to those load management clauses.

My dream scenario is for the current nightmare to stop.

I'm with you. Players careers are short and they rarely have any kind of job that pays well that they can fall back on. I get that they have to get all they can while they are playing. It's the GM's job to focus on the short and long term results of the team. He's got to look at the situation for what it is, put his ego to aside then do what's best for the franchise. I've lost all faith in him doing that.
