Trouble in Redskins Park?

[FRPLG]

Plus, regardless of the actual specifics of the situation I don't see how anyone can even remotely defend the team's handling of the situation. From the outside, which is all we have to go on and all that matters perception-wise, this looks like an utter and complete failure of the team to operate in even something resembling a professional manner.

Who is defending the team?? I feel like we're talking in circles.

Nobody in the last five pages has defended the team. They're indefensible.

I think what you're taking as defending the team is really just several posters who are the types that look forward, not backward. I'm like that myself. Bruce Allen is a piece of shit, but McCloughan is gone, history, spilled milk. I don't cry over it. I'm more interested in what happens next with Cousins, who runs our draft board, and who gets the next GM job.

I guess I'm sensing more of a tolerance for the situation than I currently have. I've long been a defender of the DS tenure as I have simply refused to believe he was as bad others shrieked about. But I am as close as ever to having to give up. Year after year of losing is one thing. I can take bad luck and unfortunate football decisions. That's part of being a fan. The hope that one day everything will finally fall into place. But year after year of making the same mistakes because one individual is simply unable or unwilling to develop as person and that individual has absolutely no accountability. It's hard to see hope from where I stand.

While you say (as I have similarly in past said):

I now think that whatever we're presented with on a silver platter next will just be the next iteration of the con job that DS is doing on all Skins fans.

And when the draft arrives and delivers you a side of 10 draft picks, you'll eat it up.

I think you're correct here. I'm pretty frustrated but I know come September I'll be organising my weekends around this GD team like always.

Don't take it personally but I feel Matt has defended the team as getting rid of a drunk who let his personal life interfere with his professional life. Whereas I feel that's not the case. It seems to me that Bruce couldn't be happy with Scot getting most of the credit for the turnaround job.

It also seems fair to think that if this was a model franchise, Scot would've had his role reduced as much as possible going forward, and then would've been released after the draft. If it truly was the drinking affecting his work, they could've worked together to make a statement about Scot stepping away from the team to get his personal affairs in order. Or if it was a case of Scot and Bruce not seeing eye to eye, announce that working together wasn't going the way they had planned it and it was best for both sides to seperate. I'd be upset but I wouldn't be nearly as upset as I am now.

As it stands now, the Redskins look like the same old shitshow we've come to know over the years. I don't care who they bring in, I have lost nearly all hope that things will ever change as long as Dan/Bruce run the show.
