Washington Redskins Official Thread

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I didn't realize that fans couldn't bring cardboard signs and banners to home games until I read the Snyder interview yesterday in my paper. Wow. **** that ****.

snyder is a terrible person. like riggo said "he has a black heart"...

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

That just started after the last game. I can't remember the actual sign but they were talking about it. It is a bunch of BS but I don't think the guy has a black heart. Riggo needs to chill. His video last week about putting him in a dog cage or whatever was too much too. Gotta remember that these are humans we're talking about... criticize the behavior but the type of attacking he's doing is pretty bad imo.

Snyder's got an ego as big as he is small. But I think this season is really humbling him. Hopefully the end result is finally doing EVERYTHING that needs to be done to turn things around. I think over the years he's gotten a little better in one area or another each year but taking some serious baby steps. I think this year his eyes are being opened finally. Time will tell.

yeah ww, you are right that is too harsh. i just hate that man right now. you'd think someone as smart as he is, and he is very smart obviously, would realize he knows NOTHING about this thing and would hire the right people to get the job done. his insisting on being involved just kills me. i think riggo is just being as extreme as he can be. hell he is critical even when things at least appear to be going well so go figure...

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I also notice Riggo's abscence from 980 this year. I think that has something to do with it too, which makes it even worse that he's acting like that.

Snyder's definitely smart but sometimes you're too smart for your own good. Hopefully (HOPEFULLY) this crazy year gets him to realize he's not smart enough to do everything and this is one thing he needs to lean on someone else... Joe Gibbs isn't the only man that knows how to fix the Skins better than you, Danny.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I hope that the "fans" that continue to bad mouth Campbell will atleast start to see that he is a tough son of a bitch playing behind this joke of an oline. He is getting assaulted out there today, and its only half time. I like the guy but man, he is shot in the pocket. I think the best thing for him would be to move on, as much as I would like to see him succeed in Washington.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I forget who it was (maybe Goose), but earlier in the first half they were talking about how the FO just hasn't addressed any of the Skins issues BEFORE they become problems. This FO has no vision for the future and now they're ****ed. There's so many things wrong with this team now, its ridiculous.

And yes, Campbell is tough. I cannot even imagine what goes through his mind when he wakes up on Sunday. I would kill myself.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

man, i thought the falcons were better than that. that should count as a loss on their record. they should have blown the redskins doors off, instead they let them hang around. defensive td's are so hard to overcome and the 'skins gave up another one this week. without that this game would have been close. at least my strategy of picking the 'skins opponent every week in my suicide pool is working to a "t". come on broncos don't let me down, i could use the extra christmas money!

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I don't know where to begin. This team is in real shambles right now. Sad thing is, I hate to see how there going to sale hope to the fans next year. This offensive line needs revamping, Vinny and Danny are most likely going to fire Zorn and let Campbell walk at the end of the year, so that means new coach, new QB, new O-Line, not to mention a new system for Malcom Kelly,Devin Thomas,and Fred Davis to learn,as well as the other skill players, which means another year of getting use to a new coach and system....this is like a broken record.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

what really shows you how zorn is just playing out the string and not trying to win is the fact that he said they are going to "stick with what they have". sounds like a guy trying to win, stick with what you have done to get to 2-6 against the worst schedule of opponents in the HISTORY of the sport. that should work to try and get a win, any win. mitchell gets out there and just gets open, makes catches. PLAY THE DAMN GUY. you know what you got with santana. let him sit. people say he gives the team a better chance to win, well that doesn't produce wins so what is the point? same with portis. put him on IR, re-sign alridge and give him the ball. see what he has. sign woodson from the practice squad, play him, see if maybe he can play. forget about making a change here or there to get a spark. for what? the season is OVER, has been for some time. use the last half to play guys you don't know about to see if there is anything redeeming about the roster, cuz as of right now the proof is in the pudding, there IS NOT.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I dont care what you guys say, i wish we never traded for Portis i like Betts better anyway(didnt say he was better but i like him more). i dont know if its portis's fault or not but when he went out our backs werent running into our linemans back the whole time. Ironicly enough after portis went out campbell was doing better. Its a shame cuz i love Portis as a blocker but i think we have pretty much killed his legs. He was made for a zone running system not what we run. Just like campbell doesnt belong with a wco.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

Honestly, it's getting hard to watch now. I was flipping between this game and the Red Zone channel. I honestly had more fun watching the RZC than I did any part of the skins game. I'm suppose to go to the Denver game, spent the money on club seats and orange parking, but I don't know if I even still want to go. Tix+Parking+food+drinks+souveniers+gas= over $450 for a 2-6 team. I just don't know if that math is worht it.

agree. it is funny man, portis best asset these days is his blocking, yet he comes out on 3rd down and betts usually comes in to block. makes no sense?

save your money for something worth it. snyder and the organization don't deserve your hard earned money man, they just don't. the product they are putting out, it just doesn't add up. as for the red zone channel, that ish has saved the football season for me. i was on the verge of not watching all together. i have it in HD too, it is like crack. never turned to fox to see the skins even once and loved every minute of it...

I liked the Portis trade at first because while we did lose arguably the #1 CB in the league for arguably the #1 (top 3) RB in the league, the Skins at least got talent in the backfield to try and fill the void. Portis has been doing great until he got hurt at the end of the season last year. This year, behind a horrible O-line, its becoming apparent that Portis can't hit the gaps as fast he used to. Betts hits the holes quicker. Maybe its just me, but it seems like Betts has been getting handoffs less than last year.

This year, the trade is starting to be bad. Portis is starting to wear down and now its obvious since he has absolutely no line to block for him. Front office has done nothing to improve the secondary after Springs left and Taylor's passing. I thin you could write a term paper on what the hell is wrong with this team just looking at the personnel they have and not even touch the organization aspects.

And of course Zorn is going to stick with what they have, because those players that are on the field are the best they have. Collins isn't the answer. The only reason Collins should go in is to save JC's life.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I never liked the trade. Portis is great but a great RB is so much easier to find than a shutdown corner. Even an above average RB is workable and easier to find than an above average corner. Springs was an above average corner so a good stop gap but he was already passed his prime. I just don't think there's much they should've ever traded Bailey for.

As for keeping things the same, I think Theisman actually said something that was completely on point. Zorn saying ARE would continue returning punts was just stupid. Actually JT said if ARE goes back there then whoever made the decision to put him back there again should be fired on the spot. The problem is, even if ARE doesn't return any more punts, the fact that Zorn can't come out and say that is telling. Is it about hurting feelings? It's like a country club out there.
