[quote=REDSKINS4ever;1098461]The problem is the front office...no offensive lineman with the exception of Trent Williams would be starting for another team....the thing that bothers me about Bruce Allen is he was responsible for building those Raiders teams in the early 2000s and drafted well in Tampa Bay...he knows how to build a roster/team.... Allen has the know how...[/quote]

He was just the money guy in Oakland, and I think you're overestimating how well he drafted in Tampa

You think any changes in the FO coming?

Re: Couldn't watch Today
 

If you look at the Tampa drafts from 2004-2008, they were pretty underwhelming. Aqib Talib, Davin Joseph, also a few meh players, and that's about it for 5 years of drafting. Also on his record are busts like Gaines Adams.

Re: Couldn't watch Today
 

I've been spending Sundays at the NICU with my son, so I've been recording the games. Yesterday's game, however, I decided not to watch it. I recorded it, but found out the score and then deleted it as soon as I got home. I figured there was no sense in investing my time watching a horrible team play their form of football.

There have only been a sparingly few games over the last 20 years that I have not watched. Mostly that had to do with me not being home or for some reason, the game wasn't on TV. I had just started with the NFL Sunday Ticket when I moved to NC, but only that 2012 season has it been worth the money - and I got it free that year, lol! I won't be renewing NFL Sunday Ticket next season. In fact, I'll probably disconnect from DirecTV altogether. That's money that needs to be better spent on my son's medical bills.

I'll always be a fan of the Redskins, and watching them play is a big part of my life. But at some point, you just have to realize that it's doing more harm than good. But one thing is for sure, I'll never be a turncoat for another team - unless it's the Panthers. And the only reason why I say that is that I am in Carolina. But, they're not too exciting to watch either.

Somebody out there has to be sitting on a stockpile of old games from the 80's. I would much rather spend my time watching those games than what's on the field now. As far as I'm concerned, those were the real Washington Redskins.

Maybe Allen could be the go between.

Re: Couldn't watch Today
 

I'd like to see Allen gone. I just don't think he's been good for the team. Terrible GM. Even if he ends up just doing the contract piece, shifting that responsibility doesn't do much to change culture if we're talking about cleaning house to achieve that end.

I don't mind Allen handling the money, I believe most of the contracts have been pretty reasonable and we're not in the cap hell that Vinny put us under.

In terms of incompetence Danny got an excellent replacement for Vinny!

[quote=DFI;1098248]I moved out of the DC area in 1985 but have remained a Skins fan...in recent years it has been easier with the internet, xm radio and nfl Sunday ticket to play close attention...today is the first time in the last 7 years or so that I wasn't following the game in some form or fashion. I felt like I needed a break from what has become unwatchable, bad football, I didn't watch any other games either I generally only watch the skins but this gets harder and harder as time goes on....perhaps others feel my pain[/quote]

Let me say this, you picked a damn good game to miss... I wish I could follow suit, but I can't bring myself to do it...

Do you live in the DC area? If not you are a bigger man (or fool lol) than i am. If me and my family went out in Skins stuff here we would just get pointed at. Not a good point, but ones followed by laughing.

Gotcha. If thats the case than I have it worse. Not sure what you know about Eagles fans. I can always play the superbowl card, but even that is wearing thin because we just suck so bad.

They are brutal. Absolutely brutal. Do not go wearing your colors unless you have atleast ten friends with you that are large people and sitting next to you. You will otherwise be verbally abused to the point of tears at the very least. Lol.
I went to a Giants game years ago wearing a Westbrook jersey. The entire way up the concourse there was a large group of Gints fans behind me chanting "westbrook takes it in the @ss doo dah doo dah". When i got to my seat they were all in the section next to me. We won something like 17-14 and Westbrook had one long touchdown - maybe two scores? I was standing up and pointing at them laughing. Never would have done that in Philly. At halftime break they were all shaking my hand and saying nice half Westbrook. Also never would have happened in Philly.

As a pissing connoisseur it will be a tough adjust but then again watching the Redskins over the year and listening to people like you has been inducing quite a bit of vomit.

p.s. You might want to get my dck out of your mouth before I piss in it.

Yous being a Chip Kelly dick rider shouldnt have a problem adjusting. Being an Oregon and Philly fan isnt that far of a dick jump in regards to disappointment from a championship perspective.

At least it's a respectful and loving relationship that is centered around realistic pursuit of a championship. You on the other hand suffer from battered person syndrome. The sooner you stop riding Snyder's dck and leave his bedside the better you will feel.
