I like this post and I completely respect your decision, most certainly do...this is what we need from the fans..I'm not being sarcastic.  If we want change it needs to start at no attendance at training camp no purchasing of draft day gear, or any gear, empty seats in the stadium..

 

Serious question..what would happen to a fan that was in the stands holding a sign saying get out Snyder or something real mean to Snyder.. would that player be asked to leave?

Thanks, as to your question...that fan would either have his/her sign taken away or kicked out. 

 

Snyder doesn’t want to change because even bad teams make money...and quite frankly he is still gonna make money, he just isn’t gonna get anymore of mine.

Or you can cheer for the redskins and the bears. Ya know, that way the most classless team in our division doesn’t make the playoffs either 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

A portion of the Eagles fanbase might be classless (just like a portion of ours is, but their portion is probably larger). However, what makes the Eagles team itself classless?

 

Here is an example of what did the Eagles did for a former employee after the SB win. How classless!

When: Sunday, December 30th  4:30 p.m.

Where: FedEx Field

 

 First, to everyone, I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.  It is the season of giving, so if you have anything you do not need, please consider donating to a shelter to help those less fortunate. You will feel so much better for doing this and helping others is what we're all about.

 

This sunday is the last regular season game for the Redskins, as they welcome to FedEx field the Philadelphia Eagles.

Currently the Redskins hold a 86-76-5 head-to-head win advantage, but I think this number will inch a little closer by the time night falls.

With the current turmoil going on, the huge amount of injuries to the team, and yet another season of having to watch other teams advance into the paloffs, it can feel like we're all in a Ground Hog Day movie. Sadly, we're not.

 

This past sunday, the Eagles were victorious against another playoff team the Houston Texans, in an exciting game [ for them ] that saw 3 lead changes in the final minutes.

After giving up the go-ahead TD to the Texans, Nick Foles and the Eagles drove down the field to get into good FG range, then kicked the winning FG to secure the win.

They had the Texans down by a few scores, but Deshaun Watson put together some drives and scores in the 4th to take the lead late in the game, and it appeared the Texans were going to steal a win in Philly, but their defense couldn't hold down the Eagles desire to win.

 

The Redskins come off a disappointing loss to the Tennessee Titans, in a game where they had the lead as well, but squandered it in the 4th and allowed the Titans to drive downfield and score the winning TD with little time left, then tacked on a 56yd interception for a TD to secure the win.

The #4 QB Josh Johnson continued to impress, giving his little experience with the team, used his legs and his arm to maneuver the Redskins into scoring positions, but were mainly left with FGs, but he did manage to throw a TD to Floyd early in the game, and against a tough top ranked defense.  It seemed for a lot of the game the Redskins managed to move the ball, which was surprising considering the o-line is a group of people who don't even know each other.

 

The disappointing part was of course the defense. In the last month or so, the defense overall has really lost its way, giving up scoring drives to back-up QBs and other teams with less than stellar offenses. This week it was Blaine Gabbert who stepped in and took over for Marcus Mariota in the 2nd half and played well enough against a porous secondary and Travis Henry seemed to find new life in the 2nd half as well, as both of them put together 2 drives to put the Titans up 19-16, then Josh Johnson threw a prayer that evidently no Redskin wanted, as the Titans picked it off and ran it in for a 56 yd TD as the clock expired, giving the Titans a 25-16 victory.

 

So, this Sunday, the Redskins and Eagles battle, with only the Eagles having a chance to make post-season play, as they need to win and the Vikings to lose against the Bears. The Redskins are out of the playoff hunt, and nothing to play for, except pride.

Question is, is there any pride on this team? After letting go of their best safety DJ Swearinger due to comments he made regarding the Redskins DC Greg Manusky's defensive play calling, it is hard to get a feel for what we will see on the field regarding the defense. We know the Eagles will be coming for blood as they need this win, but with the loss of DJ will his replacement have any success or will this game turn into a scoring frenzy?

 

Look for this game to be somewhat competitive in the first half, but with all of the negativity surrounding the Redskins and the organization, this could turn into a literal blowout by the time the 4th qtr comes. What will the stands look like? We can already assume there will be plenty of Eagles fans in the stands, but will it be more burgundy & gold or will it be filled with green?  Will Josh Johnson be able to move the chains against an expected aggressive defense, and will the defense play with any inspiration or will they have already packed their bags before kick-off?  The sidelines will probably be as interesting as whats happening on the field, and who knows what will happen next?

 

When the dust settles and the feathers fly,

this could very well turn into a game that will be out of control by the time the 2nd half starts. One team with their season on the line vs a team with nothing to play for and numerous problems on and off-field could be a recipe for disaster. But as Molly Hatchet says, we're " Flirtin' with Disaster".

 

Final score:

Redskins 9

Eagles 34

 

* First correct score prediction wins a new Redskins beanie and a few other goodies.

 

Good luck and as always,   G  O    S  K  I  N  S !!!

For the first time in his 26 years, my son will be going to a Redskins game at FedEx.  Got tickets as a Christmas gift.

He's a Redskins fan because of me, I have been a fan for some 50 years now, ever since my father won a dollar from me when he went for Miami and I for the skins in the Super Bowl.  So that's all my son knows, he's been wearing redskins gear his whole life - so cool they offered up a Super Bowl win when my son was born.  Anyway, I hope it's at least a decent experience for him.  It's like a dream come true for him, sucks that it's under such disastrous circumstances.

 

For those of you going to the game, I hope y'all treat him right.  For those who are not, I hope you don't hold it against him.  We'll be HTTRing in front of a tv somewhere!

Skins - 13

iggles - 14

I've had a change of heart and now think that the Skins somehow manage to pull out a win.  Don't ask me how but somehow they do and we are all going to feel good about it and the season will close with faint smiles on our faces since our guy's fight on despite the circumstances.  I'm finishing the year with hope in my heart!
