Are you buying into the Shanaplan?

Can't speak for GTripp per se but somewhere he said extensions now are a good idea, which kinda sounds like buying in.

I'm on the fence. We have accomplished exactly what we should have this season i.e. division champs in a surprisingly weak division (year). The Cowboys defense was a fraction of its original strength because of injuries. The Eagles lost their best player and other starting olineman, and then the whole team fell to pieces. The Giants had SB hangover. Prior to the season started, 8-8 was my minimum expectation, and that was before we knew 1) how insanely good RG is 2) that our division rivals were gonna have relatively bad years.

How we got to 10-6 is super exciting because of the win steak, but given the big picture this is where we should have been all along. All the staff have earned their current contract. A playoff win gets my buy-in. Losing wildcard weekend tells me we won't know what we have till next season.

I don't know about you, but I knew that these Washington Redskins were going to turn the corner at some point. You could see the signs back in preseason when they were putting up points on offense. Then the first game against New Orleans confirmed that what we saw in the preseason wasn't a fluke. We lost some close games earlier in the season to some pretty good teams. I knew this team could compete. At 3-6, the Redskins should have been 8-1 or maybe 7-2.

I was counting the Eagles, Cowboys, and especially the Giants out before the season started. The NFC Eastern division was ours to take at whatever point in the season. Kudos to Mike Shanahan, Kyle Shanahan, Coach Haz, and the Redskins players for showing us what they're truly capable of.
