The curse is the owner.

Potato potato. Haha

[quote=MTK;1254620]Honestly it's a good excuse to bail as a fan if you're tired of Snyder and see no hope on the horizon. I loved the Rivera hire but if you go on history alone the odds lean heavily against him and in 5 years we'll be back to looking for a new HC. We've seen good coaches come and go and nobody has put together a winning record here. Odds are Rivera won't do it either.[/quote]

That's why I'm seriously considering it because as long as Dan is owning the team nothing will really change. I just don't know who I'd root for

Same here.

I am no paragon of virtue, but I am loyal. I hated the Bullets>Wizards change, but they are still my team. I grew up an Os fan but being a DC boy, could not reject the Nats. So I root for them both which gets awkward when they play each other.

I like the Rams and the Packers but I have no roots in either place.

Our best chance was when the Ravens appeared.:embarrass

Not a bad option.

Have always rooted for them to do well , so we'll see. I am hoping for the Redwolves and a fresh start.

Been to New Orleans several times and I've always rooted for them on the side. Great city and football town. They love their Saints and LSU Tigers.

Yes they do, the city itself is rough and stinks like beer and piss but the people are awesome.

I agree. RR was a barely above 500 (.546) head coach with a team that's not even close to being as screwed up as this one. I doubt he does much here and will be another coaching washout like all the rest. If Haskins is a bust he wont last 5 years.

I think the name change will inject a shot of energy into the organization and fanbase but it will only be a temporary boost. Ultimately the team has to win and as long as Snyder is at the top winning wont happen.

The team is going to have to win now in order for me to stay invested. If they start losing I will completely check out, maybe for good. We shall see, but I really like or young nucleus.

Ultimatums always work out so well.

"Win, or I'm leaving."

I'll never be able to psyche myself into rooting for another team anywhere near this level. Redwolves or bust for me. Spending the rest of my life with these bastards.
