Malapropismic Depository Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 We are the only Football Team in the NFL. With capital letters. The only ones good enough to be called Football Team. Does that make it feel better ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf3 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) They don't even play or practice in Washington so why not just call them The Football Team? Or America's Team? I would love to hear the on the field trash talk that this team will have to put up with this year. Coach fired, name fired, record identical or worse. Adrenaline is a big part of playing the sport of football and, if I were a player on this team, I would take the field with zero adrenaline in my system. Just pay me and get it over with.

If they play well, all that stuff will take care of itself. New meaning to the nickname “No Name Defense.” Link to post Share on other sites

kwitt Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I hope we keep the (non) name. I don't want a replacement name. Will always be the Redskins (sorry if some are triggered) for most of us anyway. It is also a subtle middle finger to Florio, Kellerman and the other idiots. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

You don’t like the possibility of “Red Wolves”? Mitch Tischler even rearranged the fight song. “Howl to the Red Wolves.” Not too bad..... Link to post Share on other sites
ultravin Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 why do i have a feeling that this team is going be really good this year and the season is cut short because of the epidemic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

MariusVT Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Meh, they should just drop the football team and be just Washington. Roll with the solid helmets with numbers and leave it. Link to post Share on other sites
Spearfeather Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Quote Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Terry Bateman, however, wouldn't completely rule out the possibility of this one-year run becoming something far bigger. "If everybody in the market loves the name and adopts it and, ultimately, that's what the majority of the people want to have, I could see a scenario," Bateman told JP Finlay on the Washington Football Talk podcast. nbcsports.com/washington/washington-football/washington-football-team-executive-could-see-scenario-where-name-permanently Edited July 29 by Spearfeather 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SkinFanZim Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Lifetime Redskins fan. My father and I used to watch every Sunday together. Sure do miss those days. I'll wait and see what they come up with. To be honest, the last 5 years I have become a much more casual fan than anything. Many factors have led to this. Mostly though, I just yearn to watch sports.<mod edit political comment---temp ban> Link to post Share on other sites

UK SKINS FAN 74 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I made the point at the time that the use of the word ‘team’ could have be done consciously to promote us as a ‘unified team’. I think I was generally alone in that opinion but I do believe that to be the case. There has been a clear use of the word ‘team’ specifically from Rivera. He is promoting that culture and mindset. That in my opinion is why they went with ‘team’ and not ‘club’. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
KDawg Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Warhogs (saw this suggested the other day... not WART... War) or Redwolves for me. This “Washington” thing is off putting. It’s very plain and I can’t shorten it... Do I call them “WAS”? “Double You Tee Effs” ?“Ton”? “TFKAR”? “DC”? “No, not Seattle... the other Washington”? Link to post Share on other sites

That in my opinion is why they went with ‘team’ and not ‘club’. In simple terms, in the NFL they are called teams routinely. So it makes sense. Club is rarely if ever used. 1. What team is going to win the NFC East 2. Which teams will make the playoffs 3. Which teams are odds on favorite to make and win the Superbowl 4. Ranking of NFL teams etc...its always teams Link to post Share on other sites

tibbidoe Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) I had asked someone about this some time back during a slow offseason: Anybody wanna put a few threads together, with polls, to vote on the All-Time Washington 53-man roster? Could give us all something to talk and argue about if there was a thread for QB, RB/FB, WR/TE, OL, DL, LB and CB/S. QB Sammy Baugh Kirk Cousins Sonny Jurgensen Billy Kilmer Mark Rypien Joe Theismann Doug Williams RB Terry Allen Cliff Battles Larry Brown Earnest Byner Stephen Davis Bill Dudley Alfred Morris Clinton Portis FB Don Bosseler Andy Farkas John Riggins Mike Sellers WR Pierre Garcon Roy Jefferson Art Monk Hugh Taylor WR Bobby Mitchell Ricky Sanders Charley Taylor sWR Gary Clark Desean Jackson Santana Moss TE Chris Cooley Clint Didier Wayne Millner Jerry Smith Don Warren LT Turk Edwards Terry Hermeling Joe Jacoby Jim Lachey Chris Samuels Jim Snowden Trent Williams LG Ray Brown Derrick Dockery Russ Grimm Ron Saul Ray Schoenke C Jeff Bostic Al DeMao Len Hauss Bob Kuziel Casey Rabach Cory Raymer RG Tre' Johnson Raleigh McKenzie Vince Promuto Randy Thomas RT Don Boll Jon Jansen Mark May Morgan Moses Fran O'Brien Ed Simmons George Starke LDE Gene Brito Karl Lorch Charles Mann Ron McDole John Paluck LDT Dave Butz Kedric Golston Cornelius Griffin Tim Johnson RDT Perry Brooks Bill Brundige Darryl Grant Joe Rutgens Diron Talbert RDE Phillip Daniels Dallas Hickman Carl Kammerer Dexter Manley Joe Tereshinski LOLB Lorenzo Alexander Brad Dusek Ken Harvey Ryan Kerrigan LILB London Fletcher Kurt Gouveia Sam Huff Neal Olkewicz RILB Chris Hanburger Mel Kaufman Harold McLinton Rich Milot ROLB Monte Coleman Chuck Drazenovich Wilber Marshall Rusty Tillman LCB Champ Bailey Vernon Dean Pat Fischer Rickie Harris RCB Mike Bass Darrell Green Joe Lavender Shawn Springs sCB DeAngelo Hall Mark Murphy Fred Smoot FS Paul Krause Brig Owens Sean Taylor SS Todd Bowles Ken Houston Alvin Walton K Chip Lohmiller Mark Moseley P Mike Bragg Tress Way LS Ethan Albright Nick Sundberg PR Brian Mitchell Mike Nelms KR Rock Cartwright Brian Mitchell OWN Jack Kent Cooke George P.

Rdskns2000 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Cooke wins over Marshall. Except for the Baugh era, Skins sucked most of his era. Cooke brought us a team that surpassed anything under Marshall. Link to post Share on other sites
