Chemistry can't be bought

Yes, because building a "family" of overpaid veterans works so often in the NFL. Look at the Oakland Raiders, or as I like to call them, the Washington Redskins of the west coast.

You fucking suck Southpaw... you can't be a fan if we win OR lose, and when you lose you are a REALLY bad fan.

See... this is what happens to a "positive" fan after a loss to an obviously inferior team. I've seen several of your posts after the game this week, and the majority of them follow the same theme, "I'm so sad, we suck". So don't call me a bad fan for pointing out the obvious.

Buying championships does not work! Ask Al Davis. Ask George Steinbrenner. Ask Paul Allen(Portland Trailblazers owner). Ask DANIAL SNYDER. It doesn't work because, just like the title of this thread, chemistry can't be bought.

Actually I'd say it's worked out pretty well for Steinbrenner but he's about the only one. What have the Yankees won, 4 championships in the last 10 years or so?

Steinbrenner won when the majority of his good players were homegrown. Jeter, Bernie Williams, Andy Petite, etc. Since then, he's added Jason Giambi, A Rod, Clemens, Randy Johnsons, and Johnny Damon and won absolutely nothing.

I'm responding how any real fan would after a loss to an inferior team. Saying we "suck" is reality, because we did on Sunday. You however take that loss and consider it proof that we have ALWAYS sucked. When we lose you are all over this board bitching about how terrible we are. When we win you are all over this board bitching about how we didn't win the "right" way. I really have a hard time figuring out why in the hell you claim to be a Redskin fan.

You're responding how an ignorant homer responds to a shocking loss. And you must have me confused with someone else that "all over this board bitching" because I've posted about six times since the loss. Far less than all the "real" fans with their knee jerk reactions, screaming that Al Saunders sucks, bench Brunell, Rogers is useless, etc. So fine, continue to be a "real" fan, and talk about how great they are one week, and how much they suck the next, instead of just accepting the fact that the Washington Redskins are the same thing they've been for 10+ years. Erratic and mediocre.

And for whatever reason, you like to single me out, like I'm the only one that feels that way about this team, but there's far more people than you realize with my point of view. Probably half the members of this forum at this point in the season. A lot of them don't feel the need to post their feelings, because they don't feel like dealing with this kind of crap, but I could care less, so keep it coming.

Such tension! Maybe some of you should suit up.

One thing is for sure, we have covered just about everything imagineable that is wrong with this team since that loss to the Titans on sunday. Just about everyone has a valid point about what is wrong, and what needs to be fixed. However, I wish it was as easy to fix what is wrong as it is to talk about what's wrong. I believe this FO needs to take a long hard look at how they do business so we don't have to continue being the brunt of everyone's jokes. The way this team has played so far this year is why we're so critized every year for our exotic splashes in the spring. These people laughing at us know the way we do business is not guarenteed to produce the desired result

We "MUST" change the way we do business.

Amen, sister!
IMO, I don't see Joe trying to "buy chemistry". I see him trying to buy (unless we can get them to play for free) some alleged talented youngish FA's that can co-exist to accelerate the growth process whereby we win the SB quicker rather than longer. While it may seem unconventional, it does not mean it won't work. It hasn't yet. After all, there are 32 teams in the league, 31 of which employ the, build through the draft models. For 20+ it isn't working.

If you always do, what you have always done, you will always get what you have always gotten-Aristot?..........arastotel?.........Ary.......... .Plato!

I can respect your argument because you actually presented a thoughtful opinion, but what was the point of quoting hess's little "real fan" tantrum?

Regrets...I get a little carried away sometimes!
