Coaching and Front Office Changes

[punch it in]

Are we all drinking off season kool aid again or does the absence of a Smithers Burns (be it with Allen or Cerrato playing the part) actually give cause for optimism? My fan nutz have been kicked so many times over the last 20 years I am hesitant to get excited. Like there may actually be a curse or something.

I feel you.. We are into only a couple of weeks of offseason for Redskins and I already drank half of the kool aid pitcher. I had to remind myself of exactly same thing you mentioned, except it's been about 15 years for me since I started watching NFL. I think (or hope) it's different this time simply because of how Riveria has been shaping the Redskins FO. Almost everyone from the past are gone now and I don't think Redskins did that before? Also, just because there are a lot of changes, it doesn't necessarily will translate into winning seasons for Redskins. But since I already drank half of the pitcher, I might as well go all the way.

LOL! I am excited about the changes, and for now I'll give Snyder credit for the move and trying a different approach. I think most of us here would agree, our feelings about the team today are completely different than they were just 3 weeks ago...if nothing else, a new hope!
