skinsaddict Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 at the beggining of this year, did you feel we were next in line for a super bowl run? I have to be honest, I think the front office are the only people that thought we were close to having everything in place to win a championship and that is why the free agent signings came so fast a furious. We have been watching MB struggle for 3 years now and not get any better (don't kid yourself people, brunell has been done for 4 years). Every solid player that we have developed is gone now. The crap feed to fans from snyders propoganda machine during the offseason gave me a false sense of hope and I am pissed. I was more in the mindframe that it was time to build a team on our success, not overhaul what we had. Like it or not, the only thing left over from last year was Brunnel.

Blackest Eyes Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 well, I thought we would be damn good this year. I thought Brunell would be great this year becuase he has 3 great targets in Moss, Lloyd and Randle El. I also thought Portis would do fantastic.

SoCalSkins Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I thought we would have won the SB last year with Ramsey and thought that the added talent might take us there this year despite Brunell. We are a qb, corner and kicker away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVCChairman Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I honestly felt we had a fighting chance to get deep into the playoffs. Superbowl was a little bit of a stretch while i still felt we had a very good shot. I'm not saying i thought we were immortal but i felt we were a playoff team.....and i still think we are. No giving up now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffout Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I thought we were a legitimate super bowl contender BEFORE the free agent signings. When we neglected to re-sign Ryan Clark, I knew bad things were happening. Furthermore, I was pissed when we signed Al Saunders, though I do believe that our front office people might develop brains this offseason and decide NOT to make huge overhauls. If we keep the same personnel (including coaches), with a few exceptions (QB, LB) and get some depth through the draft and a few free agents, we should be a legit playoff caliber team again next year.

dwbiggs Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Not a chance...with a new offensive system you would have been foolish to think that we could go all the way. I thought 10-6 though...guess we won't even get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I thought we had the chance to be very, very good. Thought I was diving into a swimming pool of Kool-Aid, but when I jumped no one had filled the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsaddict Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 I am sick of all the kool aid from this year. the only reason we won 5 games in a row last year was because of clinton. i got the sick to my stomach feeling the first preaseason game and we couldn't move the ball - even more after clinton got hurt chasing down a mark brunell interception. damn your snyder. damn you to hell. damn redskins radio, damn fedex field, damn you larry michaels and damn you vinnie cereto. your kool aid tastes like crap now.

skinstzar Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I can honestly say that I thought we would be what we are. I think this experiment will start to gel late in this season and be ready for a SB run by 08, that will be Gibbs last year and Campbell's second.

Sarge Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I don't know about Super Bowl, but I thought we'd go deep into the playoffs/conference championship Now the only thing we'll be doing in Jan is watching other teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsaddict Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 uhgg as soon as the front office opened upthe checkbooks I knew it was over. when has this front office ever made a move to make the team better? like, ever?

abales41 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I thought we had a chance to be a top contender this year. With all the talent we have why aren't we? I'm a bit disappointed and hoping for a miraculous turn around. I would like to see my boy Cooley get more passes to him. That dude is diesel...a true locomotive! One things for sure, we need some defensive backs and Gibbs needs to put his nose in Saunders ear and help him figure out some offensive tactics. Enough losing already, it's been too long since a winning season was on our side. :helmet: :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldysknzfn1 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Well...I was hoping we would at least get to where we were last season...a playoff bid...and hopefully going further...even to the SB....but, alas...that apparently was just wishful thinking....I certainly didn't think we'd be 2-5....I was hoping for 5-2 or 6-1....I haven't given up hope for this season yet...but I certainly don't see a SB ring for our boyz either..

SKINZ33 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I thought we had a chance to go to the NFC championship game at least. SB was a bit of a stretch but I still wore my homer glasses for that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM916 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I never demand super bowls or dare to call a winner early in the season. All I wanted this year was a division title so I could buy a t-shirt to replace the aging one I have from '99. I thought that if we went 5-1 in the division last year, I could at least hope for 4-2 this year. That record is still a possibility although it will take a lot of wins by us and a lot of losses by everyone else for us to still win the division. If we pull that one off, I expect at least one playoff win at FedEx to bring back the all but forgotten RFK crowd. If we carry that momentum even further, wonderful. If we don't, next year we'll have a great offense, a resserected defense, and our fabled old 12th man to get us where we need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder7 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I thought we would be good, and make it well into the playoffs, but miss the actual show. So, I guess I was being a normally over-optimistic person, but man...they are better than 2-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
