Re: Who's your pick's for next HC, DC and OC?
 

I think most of you guys are all talk. You know good and well you can't ever give up on the Redskins. And if you can, maybe football is just something that has never been that important to you to begin with. I don't see anybody who truly loves to watch football, and truly loves the Redskins, to say they're quitting cold turkey. Why? Will you truly fill that time with your spouse? With your kids? What if they want to watch football? I'm calling your bluff on this one. It means enough to you to waste time posting on a Redskins fan forum board - obviously time that could also be spent with the wife and kids. I don't see any of you guys ever saying sayonara! Sorry, but I'm not falling for it!

Look, the way the NFL is, everything happens in cycles. As much as you don't want to believe it, the good part of the cycle will come to this franchise - sooner rather than later.

Great post I've said many times "I'm done w this team" Yet every sunday I watch them and every yr I get the ticket for them.

Re: Who's your pick's for next HC, DC and OC?
 

I've been a fan for over 30 years and I just don't understand why some teams can continue to be competitive year end and year out, but the Redskins can't? They have some young exciting talent, but they just seem to underachive. I am begining to think part of the problem is Shannahan's desire to hang on to draft picks for too long. There are guys on this team that Shannahan drafted that should not have made this team. Maybe the $18 million penalty is part of the reason, because they can keep them cheap. I'm really hoping with $18 million more to spend next year they can address these issues.

[quote=RedskinRat;1040312]A topic that's been troubling me recently. The question I had for my rational self is: At what point do you take a look at the product you're supporting and question why you continue to do so?

I'm closer this season than any other to just not watching football anymore. The game is changing to less of a contact sport, overly protective of the stars that are perceived as making the NFL the money.

Add to the the amount of 'suck' that the Redskins have employed this season and it's ceased to be the enjoyable, if frustrating, spectacle it's always been for me.

I would spoof a Yelp review of the Redskins but I'm far too lazy.[/quote]


My father in law and I have this convo A lot, he's an old school diehaed Dallas fan and he isn't even upset when they lose anymore and the fact that the league is going into more of a College type direction with all of the points and passing yards , I agree it's harder for me to get all excited about the NFL as of late, yeah I never miss a skins game but I admit when we lose I really don't get all down and out anymore, it's just like whatever.

Totally agree. And if something like watching football is really causing people so much pain maybe they need to seriously reevaluate their priorities.

just for discussion purposes, what is Russ Grimm doing now? Would our offense players work in his scheme?

It is a.......strange bond is it not?
BUT, you're right....well done

Re: Who's your pick's for next HC, DC and OC?
 

Only way I stop rooting for the team is if they change the name and logo's, colors etc.

One thing that helps me is to go on You Tube (although they often take down the clips) and search for video clips, even full games, for the Redskins from the 80's and early 90's. It helps me to remind myself why it is I have such a strange but loyal bond with the team.

How I wish I could find someone who has a decent collection of these old games that would be willing to put them on DVD for me.

Re: Who's your pick's for next HC, DC and OC?
 

Only two things will stop me from rooting for the team: aging dementia and death.
