Gart Monk Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I believe the "Deadskins" era began with the loss to Minnesota at the 2006 opener at FEDEX Field. When do you think it started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarb Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Youngster. It began with Ritchie Petibone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Chaaarmnder Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Was at that game. It was a terrible feeling. Have to say I don't agree though. 2007 playoff run was magical. The loss to the seahawks in the wildcard round was the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcoles11 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Youngster. It began with Ritchie Petibone. Exactly. It started the day Joe Gibbs retired the first time. Joe Gibbs could win without a great QB. Since Gibbs, this organization hasn't found a QB or a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueskin Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The Deadskin era may have begun in January 2000, when the Turk botched that game-winning FG. Or maybe it was 1996, when we started 7-1 and collapsed. No, it was when Snyder signed the paperwork to finalise the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 It began before 2006. I mean, come on, our only playoff births since Coach Gibbs retired have been in 1999, 2005 and 2007. And those of those were with Coach Gibbs in his comeback! It started right after he retired the first time and then took a little break from 2005-2007.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 No, it was when Snyder signed the paperwork to finalise the purchase. Started LONG before then... The back-to-back seasons of 4-12 and 3-13 of Pettibone and Norv are the foundation of the "Deadskins" era, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loren Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Whatever you want to say about Snyder, this franchise has never been the same since Gibbs retired. The franchise has endured a decade and a half of mediocrity since 1992 (and really, weren't we really only 9-7 in Gibbs' last year?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasta028 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 the first time Gibbs retired, even he couldn't right the ship when he came back but he gave it a hell of a try, Snyder has screwed this team up so bad with fluffer boy Vinny it'll take years to fix..

Henry Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 1993. Gibbs got us close in 2005, but in 17 years we've never been able to field a consistently good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanyt Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Youngster. It began with Ritchie Petibone. I'd have to agree, but to Ritchies credit he didn't have Gary Clark opposite Art Monk cause the guy Booked out of here to AZ, and it appeared the team was due for an overhaul. I guess Gibbs split at the right time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailToTheRedskins14 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Was at that game. It was a terrible feeling. Have to say I don't agree though. 2007 playoff run was magical. The loss to the seahawks in the wildcard round was the beginning. I agree. I'm a young fan, but I have a vivid memory of Portis and Santana sitting on the bench after that game, staring down at the ground and not moving. They were probably the two guys closest to Taylor, and it just gave me chills seeing 'em in that game after they put it all on the line for those months to even get there. Team hasn't been the same since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailGreen28 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Torn. You could say at after Gibbs retired the first time. But after a long drought, we made the playoffs in 1999, and were on an upswing until Danny started meddling. Yeah, if I had to pick I'd say 1993. The Gibbs I era was over.

Lil Kenzo Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 After the 2005 season. In 2005, the offense finally started to come together. Everybody knew all we really needed was keep the defense intact and keep the offensive system intact while adding maybe a 2nd WR and some o-line depth. BUT NO! And what do we do??? We bring in Al Saunders and his new system, we let Pierce and Ryan Clark walk, we trade picks for Brandon Lloyd, then we sign Adam Archuletta and Andre Carter to absurd contracts. Since then, Archuletta and Lloyd were complete busts, Carter hasn't lived up to the contract, while Clark and Pierce have rubbed salt in our wounds by being key pieces to 3 Super Bowl championship teams. Not to mention the fact that the Al Saunders experiment was a complete and epic FAIL. So to sum it up, the 2005 season was the golden year in which we should have built off of...we didn't and its been downhill ever since. What I'm saying is, it's not Zorn's fault, or Campbell's, or the o-line. Its the two idiots who run things in the front office. Cerrato and Snyder have no idea how to build a contender, and until they get a clue, WE'RE SCREWED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirtyfive2seven Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Youngster. It began with Ritchie Petibone. I can't even add anything to that. Really, that's the bottom line. Gibbs 1 left and the Redskins have been horrible ever since. There was a spark of hope in 1999 with Johnson at QB, but then 2000 Vinny and Danny went fantasy football on us and look at the result. It's been the same ****ing story ever since. Insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loren Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The offense wasn't really coming together in '05. Brunell broke down at the end of that year, and in the two playoff games the offense couldn't get anything going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
