Its a little too late, if anything this signing shows that what we were initially told that the team is ready to play was an all out lie. The very reason I state that this constant change is horrible is that the team has added about 6 -8 players since training camp and is still looking for help.

To have this record 2-4, be so deep in cap signings, not building through the draft, to constantly have old out dated veterans and be the laughing stock of the nation is a 15 year long tradition that is now expected from the Redskins.

GOD.....it hurts so bad to hear that because its so fucking true....

I think Gibbs has been trying to build a team of veterans so that the TEAM will stick around and get strong and be a type of "family". We needed another WR this year, and we got him in Randal El... I think Lloyd was insurance incase Moss got hurt. We needed another CB, but didn't get him. Our D kind of lost its face and we don't have a leader because Springs was the man and he's been out. Griffin is hurt, and Salavae.... both leaders. We tried to bring in depth incase of injuries.. so I don’t blame them for doing a lot of trading. Gibbs wanted a stronger offense and pushed his ego out of the way and brought in Saunders for the better of the TEAM. The family that Gibbs was trying to build really hasn't materialized. Do I think it's possible to build that family still? Yes, I do. Maybe next year? .... Maybe this year??????... Maybe. But Porits, Moss, Cooley, Lloyd, Randel El..our entire O line, and our D will have to stick around for it and TRUST in Saunders…. and be healthy… and even though I do believe that Brunell is capable… I know that Campbell is our future….

Ho hum. I have faith in Gibbs, but it’s taking a lot longer than these Skins fans seem to be able to handle. It’s been a long time coming for us to look like a Superbowl team, and we don’t want to wait any longer… everyone is impatient and frustrated…. I’m so sad for Gibbs, but I sure do thank him for trying so hard.

Yes, because building a "family" of overpaid veterans works so often in the NFL. Look at the Oakland Raiders, or as I like to call them, the Washington Redskins of the west coast.

You fucking suck Southpaw... you can't be a fan if we win OR lose, and when you lose you are a REALLY bad fan.

See... this is what happens to a "positive" fan after a loss to an obviously inferior team. I've seen several of your posts after the game this week, and the majority of them follow the same theme, "I'm so sad, we suck". So don't call me a bad fan for pointing out the obvious.

Buying championships does not work! Ask Al Davis. Ask George Steinbrenner. Ask Paul Allen(Portland Trailblazers owner). Ask DANIAL SNYDER. It doesn't work because, just like the title of this thread, chemistry can't be bought.

Actually I'd say it's worked out pretty well for Steinbrenner but he's about the only one. What have the Yankees won, 4 championships in the last 10 years or so?

I'm responding how any real fan would after a loss to an inferior team. Saying we "suck" is reality, because we did on Sunday. You however take that loss and consider it proof that we have ALWAYS sucked. When we lose you are all over this board bitching about how terrible we are. When we win you are all over this board bitching about how we didn't win the "right" way. I really have a hard time figuring out why in the hell you claim to be a Redskin fan.

Such tension! Maybe some of you should suit up.

One thing is for sure, we have covered just about everything imagineable that is wrong with this team since that loss to the Titans on sunday. Just about everyone has a valid point about what is wrong, and what needs to be fixed. However, I wish it was as easy to fix what is wrong as it is to talk about what's wrong. I believe this FO needs to take a long hard look at how they do business so we don't have to continue being the brunt of everyone's jokes. The way this team has played so far this year is why we're so critized every year for our exotic splashes in the spring. These people laughing at us know the way we do business is not guarenteed to produce the desired result

We "MUST" change the way we do business.

Amen, sister!
IMO, I don't see Joe trying to "buy chemistry". I see him trying to buy (unless we can get them to play for free) some alleged talented youngish FA's that can co-exist to accelerate the growth process whereby we win the SB quicker rather than longer. While it may seem unconventional, it does not mean it won't work. It hasn't yet. After all, there are 32 teams in the league, 31 of which employ the, build through the draft models. For 20+ it isn't working.

If you always do, what you have always done, you will always get what you have always gotten-Aristot?..........arastotel?.........Ary.......... .Plato!

I can respect your argument because you actually presented a thoughtful opinion, but what was the point of quoting hess's little "real fan" tantrum?

Usually its when someone wants to get an important thread back to the top. I dont understand why that was done here considering it was said just 3 minutes after the post before it.

[JGisLordOfTheRings]

true
