Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Now I'm getting worked up... 18 years. 18 years!! This mother****er has owned the team for 18 years of ineptitude and incompetence. We FINALLY get a real GM and he lasts all of two seasons. Snyder flushes money and draft picks down the toilet on fancy names over and over and over again but when we finally luck into a franchise QB, we're going to **** it all up because we don't want to pay the man. Well strap in folks. This asshole is going to continue to ruin the team for another 40 years. I shudder to think what it's going to be like when he goes through the Al Davis dementia phase. Oh well, at least we'll always have that magical stretch of back-to-back seasons where we went 10-6 & 8-7-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell has the team at the very least not issued any sort of statement for the sake of clarity, and instead allowed perceptions to continue to worsen right at the start of free agency when it's critical for us to do well and perceptions play a role in signings? Ridiculous. My only hope is McCloughan truly has taken time off due to family, doesn't want drinking to ramp up, had a plan laid out and is letting team do it/working from home, and will in fact be back soon, hence why he's still rocking Skins gear. Big hope, I know. It just dawned on me that the team stated the reason he left or had an absence the one day was due to a death in his family. Scot might be severely depressed at the moment and that is extremely dangerous considering his past history with alcohol. I hope he's able to fight off his demon's and live a happy and prosperous life.... a life without alcohol or any other addictive substance. Let along being a fan, just from one human being to another I hope he's doing alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskinss Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 So if the end is inevitable can anybody come up with a plausible reason for this long delay and the whole death in the family excuse? Not that he didn't have a death in the family but at this point it's pretty obvious that isn't the only thing going on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Vet Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 My brother-in-law just texted me that he was quoted in a WP article by Mr. Bog: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dc-sports-bog/wp/2017/03/09/the-redskins-ticket-office-should-probably-just-take-the-rest-of-the-day-off/?utm_term=.cee8492be8a6 Pretty funny read.

TouchdownSkin Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I have zero experience in public relations, but does anyone here that does have a rational reason why the FO has remained so tight lipped, especially given all the speculation and scheduled protests by fans? I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. Thanks in advance for any replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Schaffer, Bruce and personnel folks in war room trying to take care of actual business. Plus, Skins sign Swearinger and Pryor and more-- u think there still gonna be massive protests?

crabbypatty Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If Scot is being forced out in a power struggle, why would he be out and about decked out in full redskins gear from head to toe? The whole situation doesn't make any sense, but Scots choice of attire is odd considering the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a degree in Public Relations (albeit from a university in TX) and what the team does is almost the exact opposite of what should be done according to most theories. The thing they have going for them is a rabid customer base that tends to forgive and see through missteps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK going 3-13 as long as you screw over someone else. If someone is pro Dan/Bruce and anti Scot and Kirk and want to play Colt then get a one year deal done and shop Kirk around if your end goal is for him to be gone. I don't get his mentality either.

Maybe PR stands for something else in Redskins-ese. "Probable Ridicule" would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely there is some unrest in the ranks and people are second guessing the decisions. I know that I'm one of the staunchest critics in our inner circle of fans at games / tailgating. Down deep I hope they know what they are doing, but it just seems like we were building something. Now, it seems to my untrained eye we are taking steps backwards. I'll still go to the games. I probably won't buy much merch. I almost never buy food and drink in the stadium (that is why you tailgate). Not sure what my breaking point would be to stop going to games. Would be just kinda nice to hold your head high and be proud of your team, the organization and the owner. I'm not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBetts Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Chris Baker to me is an example of where the franchise has gone wrong. Last year we had all these quotes about how we'd look after our own, which is how competent franchises work, and if you played well we'd take care of you financially. Baker does that and we kick him out because Bruce's desperate to say he "won" the negotiations. Baker is out there saying we basically made no effort to re-sign him.
