Add to the the amount of 'suck' that the Redskins have employed this season and it's ceased to be the enjoyable, if frustrating, spectacle it's always been for me.

I would spoof a Yelp review of the Redskins but I'm far too lazy.

Ditto. Kinds feel the same way. Who's complaining to change the game? It seems the players do not like the changes and Hate the rules. Look there is a reason the players are making millions and ....they know that at any play they could end up paralized or worse. Thus the big paychecks. Now if they want flag football then the owners need to argue that there is no major risk and their salaries should be majorly reduced to reflect that. Another reason was owners did not provide health insurance so players had to get their own ecpensive ones, but I think the owners were forced to provide insurance now.

They knew the risk and still chose to play. And their getting paid for that risk. Everytime there is a new law for safety there should be a reduction in salary due to a reduction in risk.

Yeah, but I'm all talk. I'm married to the Skins- born and raised. Venting is all I can do. Next summer ill be camping out by the Kool-aid punch bowl. It's frustrating b/c from the outside looking in its so simple. Don't enter battle with your QB as the shield for starters.

I am almost rooting for the eagles to unseat Dallas.

Did not watch a single game this weekend, and the weekend prior caught the Skins game on the radio while staining the deck. So I am there. As a husband and a dad, don't have a lot of free time, so why am I 'wasting it' on team or more in line with this commercially/corporate oriented enterprise, a product, that is a lousy product.

I think most of you guys are all talk. You know good and well you can't ever give up on the Redskins. And if you can, maybe football is just something that has never been that important to you to begin with. I don't see anybody who truly loves to watch football, and truly loves the Redskins, to say they're quitting cold turkey. Why? Will you truly fill that time with your spouse? With your kids? What if they want to watch football? I'm calling your bluff on this one. It means enough to you to waste time posting on a Redskins fan forum board - obviously time that could also be spent with the wife and kids. I don't see any of you guys ever saying sayonara! Sorry, but I'm not falling for it!

Look, the way the NFL is, everything happens in cycles. As much as you don't want to believe it, the good part of the cycle will come to this franchise - sooner rather than later.

Totally agree. And if something like watching football is really causing people so much pain maybe they need to seriously reevaluate their priorities.

My father in law and I have this convo A lot, he's an old school diehaed Dallas fan and he isn't even upset when they lose anymore and the fact that the league is going into more of a College type direction with all of the points and passing yards , I agree it's harder for me to get all excited about the NFL as of late, yeah I never miss a skins game but I admit when we lose I really don't get all down and out anymore, it's just like whatever.

I've been a fan for over 30 years and I just don't understand why some teams can continue to be competitive year end and year out, but the Redskins can't? They have some young exciting talent, but they just seem to underachive. I am begining to think part of the problem is Shannahan's desire to hang on to draft picks for too long. There are guys on this team that Shannahan drafted that should not have made this team. Maybe the $18 million penalty is part of the reason, because they can keep them cheap. I'm really hoping with $18 million more to spend next year they can address these issues.

[diehardskin2982]

just for discussion purposes, what is Russ Grimm doing now? Would our offense players work in his scheme?

[skinsfaninok]

Only way I stop rooting for the team is if they change the name and logo's, colors etc.

Try this: If you were a shareholder in a corporation and your management team reported to you that 'things hadn't gone as planned, that they need to go back to the drawing board', not once or twice but repeatedly, at what point would you pull your investments?

I'm not a shareholder in the corporation, so I could care less. I watch football because I enjoy it, watered down or not. It's a once-a-week 3 hour break from reality, and only something that I'm guaranteed to see 16 times a year. Lousy team or not, I'm going to keep watching until, like Lotus said, aging dementia or death claims me.
