They think for the past 15 years the redskins have been a joke and Gibbs 2.0 is just more of the same. The notion that the redskins are a contender or even a decent team is ridiculous to them. Hopefully they will be proven wrong soon.

C'mon that happens with everyone. Anytime someone mentions their favorite team to me unless it's the Skins I'll give them shit. Or unless it's the Patriots, but that's about the only team that's beyond poking fun at.

Even then, who cares about what happened 10 years ago? That was before Snyder even. It's irrelevant.

Whenever someone pokes fun at the Skins with me I'll say who's your team, and unless it's the Patriots or Colts the best response is yeah well when did your team win the SB last?

They were just who looks good who looks bad discussions not my team is great yours sucks trash talk. The bottom line is nobody thinks the redskins are a great organization anymore and they are seen a league patsys like NO & Ariz.

It is irrelevant to what might happen this year but not when looking at how the redskins are viewed as an organization.
