Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

[quote=skinsfan69;1309923][B]It's the years that they put on the crest... The 83 Redskins lost in the SB. The 88 Redskins missed the playoffs and went 7-9. 92 was a 9-7 season and lost in the 2nd round to the 49ers. No one associates those teams as SB winners. Get what I'm saying? [/B]

When I see stuff like this, as well as the uniforms, it is pretty obvious that the people making decisions that's aren't from here. That white uniform is fine if you are a Cards fan. That red ain't us. That black ain't us. The core NFL teams don't mess w/ tradition. Do you see the Giants or Cowboys having all blacks? This is the shit Jacksonville does, or what college teams do. Hopefully they'll make adjustments and get it right. I doubt it. They're too stupid.

I also get the feel that they're looking to market to younger fans, which is probably smart cause most of my generation have checked out.

After yesterday I am just done. My emotions for the team are just dead. I'll still come on here cause I love talking football. But I just don't care what this team does anymore. Maybe that'll change in time but I just can't take it. I can't take Jason Wright lying to me. I can't take the Sean Taylor fuck up. I could go on and on... And most of all the losing and lack of playoff success and the inability to manage the QB position.[/quote]

Dude that is such a gray area, all football seasons fall over two calendar years not sure why you are blaming the Coms on this one.

Anyone so worked up about a football team changing its name must live a charmed life.

Jason Wright lying to you??? Is he your daddy or something, i could give two fucks if he lied to me he don't know me from Adam or vice averse.

If you are so PISSED OFF GTFO no one cares i promise you no one cares especially at Commanders Park.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

Wright was on with Kevin Sheehan this morning and apparently they are open to changing the years on the crest. Personally I could care less, they went with commemorating the year they won vs what season the team is associated with, but if it helps straighten out some panties out there than just do it.

I think both sides have a valid point - the games were played in the following year but they represent the culmination of the previous season.

So we were champs following the 1982, 1987, and 1991 seasons, but the games were in the following years. I lean 60/40 towards honoring the season that was played vs. the day the title was won but honestly the argument is a little irrelevant to me as I didn't witness any of it.

If they had just gone with 82, 87, 91 nobody would be complaining right now, so I get it. But I also see what they were going for. The decision as to what years to put on there should have been vetted more thoroughly that's for sure.

I ain't getting into a pissing match w/ you. That calendar stuff is just way off.. If you aren't smart enough to understand the issue then so be it. That celebration of the 92 Skins last week was great.. smfh

And you are correct. No one cares over to Commie Park. And that is the exact reason their stadium is infested w/ opposing teams fans.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

Maybe they should use 1937 - 1942 - XVII - XXII - XXVI

As I said it my post it's not just the crest thing. It's everything single thing w/ them.

The dates on the rings are 82, 87, 91. That's the dates I'd have used.

83, 88, and 92 jumped out at me immediately as WRONG. This inattention to detail is an insult to long-time fans who know better. Pro Football Reference is the definitive reference for players, teams, and seasons of the NFL - they have it correct: 82, 87, and 91. When discussing all-time great teams, you never hear mention of the 86 Bears, do you? [url]https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/[/url]

Yes I get it, they should have used 82, 87, 91. But technically, the years they used aren't wrong, they just aren't the commonly accepted way we refer to those teams.

Agree…these guys can’t get out of their own way.

Wright trying to justify it makes him look like a straight up fool. He is just a empty suit. These are simple details that a 12 year old can get right.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

There is a lot more going on in this world light years more important than a nfl name change … I’m just rolling with it cause it ain’t a damn thing I can do to change it ..I refuse to be mad or bitter about this .. it will eat you up .. everyone has voiced there opinion it’s time to focus on Qb , free agency, draft etc ..I doubt that there is any of us that would walk into our bosses office and tell him what a damn fool he is .. Jason has a nice job and a family to provide for .. I don’t fault him at all .. I’m am supporting him !
