I really felt our D had a big hand in the lack of offense.

Prepare to defend yourself against completely backwards logic like: "it's because the offense sucks."

"Because the offense sucks...the defense can't get off the field?"

"No, the defense is tired because the offense sucks"

"But, that doesn't even make sense. I was talking about how the Giants had such an obsurdly low number of possessions. That has nothing to do with the offense."

"Campbell is the problem."

All of which are ridiculous points when we know the real problem is "We have a racist nickname"

Exactly! If it's an air attack you want, then we should be the Washington Rockets.

Our primitive defensive scheme is clearly a function of our nickname.

I think you if you search your conscience, you will find "Rockets" is a lethal weapon capable of taking human life......like Bullets. Perhaps good judgement would dictate another name that would symbolize the thrust of the meaning in a.....non-threatening and offensive way?

Washington Dirigibles?
Washington Hindenburgs?

Oh the humanity!!!!

The Washington Robins

-Robins can fly
-Robins are red, so we could even be the Red Robins
-Robins often symbolize the start of spring, and everyone is happy at the first signs of spring
-Robin, as in Batman and Robin, defenders of justice. Everyone likes when justice is defended
-Robin, as in Robin Leach of Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous, a staple of the 1980s. 1980s=Redskins dominance
-Robin, as in Robin Wright Penn, star of The Princess Bride. Hilarious movie, and who doesn't like to laugh?
