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. I still have the original fan card I mocked up saved here. Posted this on Twitter However, I think if somebody wanted to TRY doing the Fan Card. Maybe make a good digital version also that is an animated .gif with a hashtag. Spread it across all the blogs and fan sites. It would at least be entertaining. Or, get read for Caps season, enjoy that the Nats came back from 12 under .500 to likely get a playoff spot and reclaim your Sunday. Not a sermon, just a thought.

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. He is light years better than Brucey. He is the best GM the skins have had since Beathard and they found a way to screw it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all you have to show from two whole drafts are Brandon Scherff & Matt Ioannidis I’d say you really suck at drafting LOL Cravens & Doctson were absolutely atrocious picks, man. Fuller? Jarrett?

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 One positive though: Our passing offense worked surprisingly well moving the ball against the vaunted Bears defense. Furthest we had the ball on each drive: Drive 1, WAS 21, ended in Interception Drive 2, WAS 38, ended in Punt Drive 3, CHI 11, missed FG Drive 4, WAS 25, ended in Fumble Drive 5, CHI 49, ended in Interception Drive 6, CHI 17, made FG Drive 7, CHI 39, ended in Interception Drive 8, Touchdown Drive 9, Touchdown Drive 10, CHI 16, ended in Fumble Drive 11, CHI 32, Game Over 8 of our 11 drives made it to Chicago's side of the field. If Case didn't have 5 turnovers, that's a game we could've won handily. But he had those turnovers and we got wrecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Who worth anything would come into this organization with an insane amount of power via their contract and a no-termination clause for enough time they think they'd need? I can't imagine anybody growing their career in the NFL accepting an offer with at least that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Watched some highlights, and checked snap counts. Manusky switched up his defensive schemes a bit. Our normal Nickel package is 4 guys on the LoS (2 Edge and 2 IDL), and 2 ILB behind them (Holcomb and Bostic). But later on in the game, he went towards a 5-1 Nickel. So 5 guys on the LoS (2 Edge and 3 IDL) and 1 ILB behind them (Bostic). One thing the highlights show is he had one of the Edge guys drop back into coverage a fair amount. On one of those plays, Ryan Anderson gets burnt by not dropping back into his zone fast enough. Which, of course he does, because that's so far out of his element. I think Fire Zone Blitzes can work well, when used correctly, and that's about the only time I would ever have an Edge defender drop back like that instead of laterally. But that wasn't a Fire Zone, he just dropped the Edge guy randomly, to an under zone 8 yards down the field. Bears o-line wasn't confused, the 4 rushers were picked up well in time. If you drop an Edge rusher like that, it's to take away a lane for a "hot" throw. But there was no reason for the QB to throw "hot", there was no extra pressure shown. So Trubisky could do a normal drop back, survey the field, and then pick on the one guy who is clearly out of his element. It's almost like we're using a zone D that's just missing an area of coverage right in front of their WR. It's like playing 10 yards off the line when it's 3rd and 1. It's stupid.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 One would think Mack had 42 sacks last night the way some fans tell it. Look, we get it, dude is a one man wrecking crew. He destroys pretty much everyone in his path regularly. But this notion that the coaches prepared as if he’s a nobody is silly. There were 2 plays out of all the offensive snaps that were very questionable about who was supposed to be blocking him. That’s 2 too many, but for the love of god folks, there was so much more wrong than merely Mack getting free a few times. I cannot believe that The Jay hatred is so strong that folks are excusing Case’s performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot believe that The Jay hatred is so strong that folks are excusing Case’s performance. This is exactly what I mentioned about the "mutual-exclusivity" issue it seems we have as a fanbase. Saying Jay has had a half-dozen years to show he's in over his head doesn't excuse Brucie Boy (even though he needs to go and a new GM clean house). Mack wasn't even accounted for until the second-half, as if Jay seemed to forget he even played for the Bears. Saw way too many times where he had a TE on him (and Jay seems to be against having TE's who can actually block, for some reason) and consecutive plays where there was literally no one on him. That's inexcusable, but also not mutually exclusive with Keenum have a suckalicious game. I think plenty of people have opined on that since last night. The picks, the worm-burners, the "sneak" (which was a lousy call to begin with), the free-plays that he didn't exploit... Jay has been given long enough to show he's in over his head. That can also exist in a universe where you can say Bruce sucks and Keenum contributed pretty heavily to the loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profusion Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Gruden's expressions and body language last night were those of a man who has basically checked out. Bad idea to fire a coach in a short week, but he's got to go soon if the players are to be honestly evaluated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max21 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I’ve never really actually been THAT embarrassed to be a skins fan but today I feel pretty damn embarrassed. Somethings gotta give. On another note I suggest some of you try to become Hockey fans. The capitals have been one of the most dominant teams of the last decade and are actually good. Ovechkin is still playing well but his era of dominance will be done soon. It’s also actually a fun game day experience other than fedex field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
