Since you wanted alex gone wouldnt this represent the lifting of the curse?

Maybe we can talk to a local shaman and make that happen

Whether I wanted him gone or not: his injury and all the coincidences it has to the past show that this team is cursed. All those coincidences are eerie. Just like Sean Taylor, losing Griffin when we had Seattle on the ropes, Guice this year, it’s always something major that sets us back.

It’s been cursed since we left RFK and the American Indians cursed the team for their anger over the name and logo. You can bet on that.

And always at the worst time. I remember Griffin going down like it was yesterday. We had Seattle in the ropes and we were on the move again. We were having a magical year...Then, suddenly everything was lost and we’ve never recovered. This just an example.

Even McVay. Watch us be the Browns when Bellechek went to New England.

The injuries aren't a sign of a curse just a bad strength and conditioning staff. Look at Brian Orakpo who was oft injured and only played one full season here. Since he left for Tenn he hasn't missed a single game.

And not having depth to step in for injured players is a sign of poor managment and second rate player acquisition. Thats a big reason Smith got hurt because Wash had to resort to nabbing players of off the streets instead of having quality back ups to come in for their starting linemen.

We’re cursed with the never ending turnstile of bad management, and poor organizational leaders. No real GMs, Cerrato, Allen, Snyder, Spurrier, Zorn, the list goes on and on.

Yet we let the likes of McVay, Norv, Gregg WIlliams, Shannahan walk.

We finally had a competent GM in place named Scot M and that was handled like another blunder.

Redskins leadership is really good at creating blunders and messes and dysfunction.

You know, I once was a Scot M defender, but as his draft picks and FA hauls come due...really not that great.

Also, I heard on one of his last trips to I believe it was the North vs South after season College player exhibition game he was drunk as a skunk. Like could not be hidden...embarrassing

He drank himself out of the job, let's put this issue to bed finally. He lost his grievance against the team, it was found he was fired with cause.

The fact that people find it so outlandish that a self professed alcoholic who lost other jobs due to drinking was fired yet again due to drinking is fucking hilarious. And yes the team handled it about as poorly as can be. Doesn't change the fact SM is a drunk. Good dude by all accounts, but a drunk nonetheless.

Not quite true, in 6 seasons with the Redskins he played a full 16 games twice, and played 15 out of 16 in two other seasons. He missed significant time in 2012 and 2014.

The team started losing after Gibbs' last year coaching in his first tenure. Had nothing to do with the move away from RFK. Had more to do with the fact that Gibbs was a special head coach, and Bobby Beathard was a special GM. If Gibbs and BB had kept going past '93 (Yes, I know Casserly had taken over at this point), there would've been more successful seasons, no matter where the team played at.

The long and short of it is, the Redskins were a class organization from front office down to head coach, and they found quality players. That has never been duplicated since. By far, Gruden has probably been the most successful head coach since Gibbs, because he's put his team in a position to be a winning team each season, save for the first season.

So, how do you break a curse? Time and patience.
