Its disheartening to see the true Redskins fans on this site being eclipsed by this bandwagoning, ambiguous group of posers.
The person in this thread is looking for a galvanizing solution, and all I'm hearing are a bunch of gutless, spineless suburbanite naysayers. Where is your resolve and why express an opinion if your solution is to do nothing?

Someone needs a hobby
I was going to say someone needs a drink, but in my case, they're one in the same....

So what's your plan?

I am with you guys that have stopped watching. I have been going over to a friend's house every Sunday for 5 years here in KY to watch the Skins because he has NFL Sunday ticket. I feel bad for him, because he has spent all this money to watch the Skins every week and they are so bad. I'm not going over this week. The Giants/Saints game is the local broadcast here and that will be a much better game to watch IMO. I love the Skins, but I also love the NFL and after watching the Colts/Titans game Sunday night, I just got depressed at how good the Colts are and how bad the Skins are. Once the Skins get past this game, its going to get really ugly against the better teams coming up on their schedule and I am tired of being frustrated and angry every Sunday. There are more positive things to do with my time on Sunday afternoons. Until we see a change in GM, we are going to forever be a bottom tier team like the Raiders. Where is Jack Kent Cooke when we need him?

I'm an advocate of "Mutiny at FedEx Field" but I cannot actively participate because I don't live in the DC area. I'm originally from DC and have been a Redskin fan since the 60's. I moved to St. Louis after I graduated from college and have been to every Redskin game in St Louis since. So, how can I show my frustration with the franchise?
1. Do not go to any Redskin games until they change their philosophy.
2. Do not purchase any officially licensed Redskin gear.
3. Stop watching the games live on satellite DirecTV. (This will be the biggest sacrifice. I have the NFL Package. I will switch to watching the Red Zone channel and watch how football should be played on Sundays. Cannot switch to another team, just not in my DNA.)

#45 go back and read.
Smootsmack I'm not the one with 25,000 plus posts on a web site dedicated to a team I don't even watch.
I'd say you need a time machine.

Honestly though, even if they were 5-0 right now I'm not sure my approach would be much different. I have things to do with my life. I've been through the whole dedicate your entire weekend to the Redskins (more than many here), but like I said I've got things to do, places to be, people to see.
Why do you have to dedicate an entire weekend to the Skins to watch a 3 hour football game? That leaves you 45 hours of your weekend for anything else you may want to do. I personally decided last weekend after the game if the weather is right I would go fishing over watching the game but other then that I have 3 hours to watch. This weekend the forcast is for 20mph winds so fishing is out so I'll watch the game. I have a TV in my garage which I'm trying to finally finish so while the game is on I'll trim out the windows and the lay the base board. That way I have not waisted my time but still get to see the game.

Not to be argumenative, and I may be reading more into your choice of words than you had intended, but given KC's performance last weekend, do you see the 'Skins winning this Sunday? I know I sure don't.
Frankly, I think 2-14 (Yes, I know Oakland beckons but hey, EVERY OTHER bottom feeder in the NFL is transformed into Superbowl contenders on gameday with the 'Skins) is much more than just a distinct possibility....
