But when we do we can say they lost to the team that lost to the Lions.

I understand that the bye week may appear to be the best time to make a change, but I don't see any reason for Snyder to let Zorn coach against the Eagles, unless he plans to let Zorn keep the job until the end of the year. First, the skins have almost no chance of beating the Eagles with Zorn as HC. So why not make the change after the KC loss? It would give the new coach THREE weeks to prepare for the first game we'll have a realistic chance of winning instead of only two. Then, Snyder has to consider the possiblity that the skins somehow manage to pull an upset and defeat the Eagles - How is he going to "justify" firing Zorn after that? Also, considering its a MNF game, what would be the better story that week - Zorns last game as a head coach or the beginning of the Gruden era in Washington?

Personally, I think the best thing to do is fire Zorn and allow Gray to add Interim Head Coach to his resume - the guys a great coach and deserves the shot. Considering whoever takes over the team in 2010 is probably going to clean house, it would be the decent thing to do for Gray. And before October 20th, i'd trade everyone we could for 2010 and 2011 draft picks. Then, try like hell to land Cowher and a real GM after the seasons over. That said, Snyder seems smitten with Gruden and if thats the way the franchise is going, i'd rather get Gruden in sooner than later to give us a head start on 2010.

That's just not going to happen.

anybody goin let me know we'll be there early to tailgate our asses off!

Ok, enough of the negative crap for a second (that might be the first time in my life I've said that about anything). I think a lot of us take for granted being able to go to just about any game because we live close by and with such a big stadium tickets are rarely hard to come by. But for those of you who live out of town, I say, enjoy yourself and cheer on the Skins for better or for worse because they're OUR team!

Now, having said that, please bring signs that mock Dan Snyder's manhood or that make Vinny's already giant eyes pop even farther out of that thick skull. I would say wear paper bags but those are a no-no. Please also do your best to avoid buying anything once inside FedEx because we've all given Dan enough of our hard earn money. Cheer for our team and try to make it hard for the iggle when they have the ball. Also, if you can leave a flaming bag of dog crap outside of The Little Man's suite, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.

seriously. 17 years of being a die-hard fan ... i'm not letting a few poor ass performances and a bleek outlook with a 2-3 record stop me form enjoying being at home with all my redskin brothers at fed ex.... win or lose. always a fan of the team and the atmosphere i will be experiencing only the 2nd time in my life.

can't do it guys.

Great attitude and carry that to Dc and have a blast. Ok, so our team is not doing so well but if that is the biggest problem in life then its all good.

Haha...so a game Gruden is supposed to be announcing he is going to come down from the booth and coach! That is sort of like Rodney coming down from the stands to perform the tripple Lindey.

Hell yes! I would take Rodney's ghost running this team over Vanny any day.

[SBXVII]

Will Gruden be there? I would hope that if Zorn is still the HC of the team at that point fans would bring their "Chucky" dolls and wave them around.

[Meks]

^ wow that would be crazy

[JLee9718]

I'll take Grey as an interim coach with Sherm Lewis calling the plays. They should get together with Bugel and ask him how come out offensive line gets pushed around so much. It's no fun being in the trenches if you don't do anything but let yourself get kicked around.

[Warpath]

Back to the thread's actual point: Yes Ill be at the game and every other home game this season except the Broncos. All we can do from here on out is win every home game and try to steal one or two on the road. Optimism is low but hey still 2-0 at home at this point.

[MTK]

Honestly if I won an all expenses paid trip to DC with tix at the 50 yard line I wouldn't go.

[RedskinRat]

I would NEVER turn down tickets, I've been a fan since '79 and never even thought I'd see a Redskins game.

Would I take a sign telling Snyder to sell? Yes.

Would I paint the same sign on my chest in the event that my sign is confiscated? Yes.

Would I pay for a plane to buzz Fed Ex and drop leaflets telling Snyder to sell? Yes.....OK, no because I don't have that kind of money.

Still..............

GO DODGERS!

That's just the difference between some people. Some people stop going, some people stop watching, some people stop liking the team. For me, I'll always at least watch, it can be painful, but it's the type of fan that I am.

Me to I'll go even when the games mean nothing. ie I was there and saw RMoss leave the field early when the Vikings came to town. Ill continue going, I enjoy tailgating before the game and having a good time with friends. Although it does make for a long ride home and serious frustration after a loss. So far so good this season though. Ill be there cheering them on this Sunday and next Monday night to. I also expect to see lots of eagles fans there to.

:vomit:

A Redskins win would be a thing of rare beauty. I really despise seeing any of our division rival fans in great numbers at home games.
