Sally's latest colum is just another in the long list of which she continues to state the obvious. Even the staunchest homer would be hard pressed to disagree. Nothing new, nothing we haven't been saying here for the longest time, maybe just in different terms.

It's worth noting though that the noise is getting louder, let's hope the message gets through to it's intended target.

Regarding the teams plan/philosophy of plugging in free agents - if I owned the Skins and was a businessman first and fan 2nd, i'd do the same thing - fans keep buying the jerseys of every new free agent we acquire. last year, I was appauled at how many Jason Taylor Jerseys were out there... the guy was going to be here 1-2 years TOPS. Why on earth would people buy his jersey?

Maybe if we, as fans, signed a "petition" promising to buy the jersey of the next first round offensive linemen the Redskins drafted, Snyderatto would listen. I've bought Cooley, Portis, and Sean Taylor Jerseys for myself and my father, but going forward, i'm only buying jerseys of players we draft. Its the only thing - other than not attending games- I think we fans can do that would make a difference.

Amen.
We went from 5-11 under Spurrier/Snyder and Vinny in 2003 and being the laughing stock of football on the field.
One year later in 2005, Gibbs leads us to 10-6 and the playoffs. That is a short time to turnaround a franchise that was in bad shape.
Gibbs left after the 2007 season of 9-7 and another playoff season, only to one year later under Snyder/Cerratto and Zorn have us 2-4 and we are the laughing stock of the NFL again.
Gibbs made us respectable on the field again. That is all I ask.

I'm sick and tired of people bitching about Gibbs II. He came in and did what he could with what he had, he inherited a mess and wanted a quick turn around (I'm sure at Danny's request) which led to some questionable moves. Redskins fans as usual "very impatient" wanted to see quick results and that's the end result. People can't deny that Gibbs II was still the most successful period of the Snyder years.

There's no denying that. Every coach that comes here people expect a quick turnaround, even from the one we have now, and he's never been a coach before. Check out the coach that follows Zorn.......It's going to be the exact same thing.

Mr. Snyder - A football franchise first goal should always be field a good team and win a super bowl, not sell jersey's. If you have a good team, the jersey will sell themselves.

I notice you put Snyder besides all the bad things but only Gibbs name by the success and you also left off the two bad Gibbs/Snyder years.

Yes there were two bad years, but he inherited a 5-11 team.
What is your point? That Gibbs is the main person to blame for the current issues on current Redskins team? I did say he was partly to blame.
My point was Gibbs2 brought winning and respectability back to the Redskins. That is all.

I should not have made that post because I'm over discussing whats wrong and who is to blame. The only thing we can hope for at this point is that with things hitting rock bottom DS can see whats wrong and start to fix them at the end of the season. Heck, he could show Vinny the door now for what thats worth.

If he brings in a good GM now the rest of the season can be used to cut the fat.
