The Marketing Philosophy Surronding the Redskins

[murphy196]

It's called being a fan! If we didn't have the feeling that every year we have a chance to do something, then it would be pointless to watch or keep up with the team. The NFL is a league where things can turn around quick, so it's not unrealistic to think going into a new season that we have a chance to make the playoffs and then once in the playoffs, anything can happen.

First, I would like to say I can't believe out of that whole post, I made a typo in the title.

Second, It's not realistic. Each year we are enticed and cheated with this whole idea that we are only 1 WR or 1 DT away from making the playoffs. EACH AND EVERY YEAR. But, in contrast, at the end of the year, we don't have enough offensive lineman, we don't have any depth at key positions, our QB is sub par, our coach isn't good enough, and the list goes on.

We get enticed by this whole idea that we really are only one player away! Then they not only get one or two players, but they get 3 or 4. So, there is almost this thought, well we were only just one or two players away, and now they picked up several! There is no way it can fail!

Well said. I'll always enter a season with hope and optimism. I'll never pick against the Skins in my predictions no matter how badly things look. I'm a true fan, not someone who only supports the team when they're winning. Anything can happen any Sunday, so I won't be one of those who whine and say they'll lose, only to be a liar on Monday when celebrating with everyone who stood by the team.
