You can say that about a bunch of players, but yes. It should be. Game 1 it was "haha look who finally decided to play" and "Everybody gets one" Now....

profusion Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Dear Dan, Nobody's going to pay for your new stadium if this is the product you're selling. Fire Bruce. Now. Today. Week 10 is the bye. Get your interim flunky to fire Gruden after Week 9. The interim HC starts Haskins and the other kids, so they can be evaluated. Get on the phone with Gibbs, and beg him to help find you a football guy to run the operation. Go get on your yacht and sail around for awhile. No one wants to see your face around here anytime soon.

Booger telling the world HAHA wanted to play elsewhere, for LESS money. IIRC he even added to get away from this organization. But that may have been me just thinking the obvious. Being a monday night, one can only imagine how many current or future players heard that, and decided given the chance, will choose another team over us. Planted the seed, avoid DC indeed.

88Comrade2000 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Is Jay purposely not using AP to show Bruce, he didn't want AP here? I took a nap after the second Bears TD and woke up to a 3-28 score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousD Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 On offense, it's all quite predictable... Rebuilt QB .. Rebuilt O-line ..Rebuilt receiving core ..Trent, Reed and Guice out. But the turnovers, holy crap! You can't game-plan around those. And for as bad as the defense looked, you have to consider that they were battling the Bears and Redskins offenses last night. Just a rotten deal all round. Still, the Gruden, Manusky experiment needs to be laid to rest. It's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simms had a pretty nice game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I wish we as fans could put together some type of video confessional to provide the players on this team, explaining why we don't show up, why we boo, etc. Just so they can hear it from the horse's mouth that this has much less to do about them and a whole lot to do about their bosses and the history of ineptitude that came way before they ever got here. Honestly, I would love that. Or even a good old fashioned mail campaign. Pick a team captain, maybe Allen, and just send him honest heartfelt letters. I doubt there are enough invested fans to even make it have any effect, but having a mailbox full of messages about how being a Redskins fan now is quite honestly something to be embarrassed and ashamed of, when even our worst rivals' fans are offering us sympathy. If there were someone on the team high up enough to be listened to by Snyder, but not so far up that they insulate themselves through receptionists, I'd even say it stood a chance. But there's not enough people invested in the team to pull something like the fan card revolt again. The lack of Redskins fans in the stadium should have been enough. If that isn't, probably nothing is. These tweets pretty much say it all. Even the reporters are mourning the fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyder's likely viewed as little more than a pariah anymore. He's managed to piss off and alienate a whole lot of folks. We let the few good people we've had leave only to watch them have success elsewhere. Snyder's just an insecure little punk and control freak who wants his ring kissed and ego massaged constantly. That's his essence and until that changes and he is capable of swallowing his pride we're screwed. Dead on. Unfortunately, he will never change.

RandyHolt Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It's a small thing but I want to see Sims returning punts. Why risk a starting WR. Quinn is decent but Sims seems like more of a playmaker. Jay seemed to out think himself a bit. Fresh off of Sims getting a lot of touches last game, he was not in the game plan in the first half. I guess he thought Chicago would game plan for him, so he went to Sprinkle instead. So while our Taylor Gabriel was on the bench, theirs scored 3 TDs. You almost cannot make this stuff up, only, you can; #Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in and among it all there was some good, a lot of bad, and mostly ugly.2. Honoring Lyndon Felcher at halftime. Lyndon works in a concessions stand on the main concourse, and has shown throughout his career to possess an outstanding ability to keep a straight face as he charges a customer $39 for two bottles of water and a hot dog. Not sure he should be on the Ring of Honor , but hey, it ain't my stadium. Also, nice of London Fletcher to show up for Lyndon's ceremony. Classy guy. <Edited> ~Bang 1 hour ago, RandyHolt said: Spelling London's name wrong in HIS ceremony says all you need to know about this franchise. 1 hour ago, KDawg said: Yeah. Lyscomb Filcher was a big part of this team. Not sure how they could have done what they did. (Thanks, Bang, for the meme. I am now going to spell his name incorrectly in every 'this franchise is rotten' thread) I agree, this was an embarrassing and disrespectful mistake that shouldn't have happened, Someone should be fired for this. WARNING: If you are a straight guy, DO NOT, and I mean it, DO NOT google Bang's misspelling of Fletcher's second name (Felcher). What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Koolblue13 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 What sucks is that we're doing a lot of the right things now. Building through the draft, not signing over the hill players to mega deals, sticking with coaches, etc. And we're still getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrilbo67 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I live in Chicago, and this morning two CTA trains collided near the train station where I live. I can't help but think that this was partially caused by a hung over train operator who got that way from the glee that Dan Snyder, Bruce Allen and Jay Gruden provided him yesterday evening. At this point, the Redskins front office is a national public safety hazard. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Major-Delays-on-Brown-Purple-Line-Trains-Following-Incident-CTA-561224071.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it so hard to just get an actual GM like teams that, you know, win? Manusky needs to be gone, I dont understand how a guy they were looking at firing last year has this much leash to suck. We tried with Scot McGloughan who is one of the better GMs but Brucey couldn’t handle someone else getting credit and you know the rest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Scot was a bit overrated. Our recent drafts have been very good. Talent throughout the rounds that sticks on the roster and some real stars. I think with a competent coaching staff, we'd be 2-1 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewCliche21 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 As usual I agree with @KDawg, but for me this is even harder. I was just sentient enough at 3 and a half to remember my dad being happy at Super Bowl XXII on TV. That's what got me on the 'Skins. Then we win Super Bowl XXVI when I'm in first grade, and THAT was my introduction to my home team. My son just turned 4 and my daughter 2. We're in the Philly area. They're contending-ish, and at least the home team. What do I have to show my kids that is worth them feeling left out of their local team? We're not good, Daddy always gets unhappy when we play, and it's a waste of four hours (gotta calm down) every weekend. I've got nothing to show them, nothing. They wear their Sean Taylor jerseys when the guy was eight years in the ground before my eldest was even born. I wish I could ask Dan that question. What am I supposed to tell my kids when the shiny swingset I grew up with is now rusted? Do I just tell them "I swear, it used to be the best thing ever!" while they look at me like I'm crazy? Tell my kids what the reasoning is behind how you're running this team. You're 20 years in, Dan. You're literally losing the next generation through all of your losing.

RandyHolt Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Before we say that we have had good drafts, which teams have had bad drafts? The worse teams (think us) get earlier selections so blind luck says we should do better than ~ half the league drafting after us. My point is every team hits on picks. McLaurin aside, I am not very impressed. Early selections should be weighed into grading heavily. Who has played and contributed 2016 Ioannidis and Crickets. 2017 Allen (dropped into our laps IIRC) and Roullier. Honorable mention Anderson Moreau Sprinkle JAGs so far 2018 Payne and Quinn. Maybe Guice Settle and Christian will save this draft for us next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
