It was over before it even started.

Sigh, these have been a long two years. My emotional attachment to the team is the lowest it's ever been. 20 years of this shit more or less. Really tired of it.

Agree. I think after all the coaching and personel changes in the last 20 years, its time to look at the front office and specifics within the management of the organization. Something is not right within the structure model.

I said this in another thread if things keep going this way sometime next year the Skins will have a losing regular season record for the first time since I was born. When I graduated high school the skins had plus 74 wins it is now plus 13 wins and falling fast.

Wow. There's some perspective for me today.
I too can't get on board anymore, it's just too hard to watch.

After seeing the great things my grandfather did here in the 80's-90's with Gibbs and the old timers turn into THIS!? It's almost personal.

Then....why in the world would you want to participate on a Skins board?

It's a curse, or possible addiction at this point, I just can't leave it. Also Ive never been a quitter and can't start quitting now.

You are Wayne Sevier's grandson? He was a great coach!

I hope that some day the younger fans will be able to experience the thrill of being a Redskins fan that we older fans felt back then.

Totally I think of EQ and mooby and they have only been around for the shit.

Kudos to the younger folks who stick with the team! It would be hard to remain loyal without having fan roots in the period between Kilmer and Rypien.

Yep, and my emotional investment in this team is basically a 7 on a scale of 1-50 right now.

You and I are feeling the same exact thing, Matty. And both you and I (along with a handful of others) have always been the most optimistic, always look on the bright side of things, type of fans. But I think we have discovered that even the most optimistic fan has his/her breaking point. I can already tell you that I will absolutely NOT be spending money on NFL Sunday Ticket next year. It just doesn't make any sense to spend money I really don't have on a team that wins 3 games a season. I'll find ways to catch as many games as I can, but what's the point? I would much rather have a copy of every single Redskins game from the 80's, and just watch those on Sunday as opposed to the modern version.

Im with ya, and I drag them out also. I like to keep my precious memories of the good old days close, I gather them around me like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

This season has been the worst I can remember since winning our last SB... Most seasons, I could always point to a core group of players, coach, offseason or something.... This year, I really don't see anything positive about this team going forward... Literally, nothing...
