The funny thing is once the schedule comes out there's going to be a slew of 12-4 or 11-5 predictions from some of the same people who are decrying this process..

Of course. No one actually thinks the Redskins are any worse off next year, it's just the thing to say right now.

90% of this sight will pick us to be in the playoffs next year.

You don't have to tell me about loyalty. I've been a fan since 1971, moved to California in 1982 and have watched just about every game played in that span of 25 years (I might have missed 5 in total) I've made every excuse in the book not to miss games, lost old girlfriends over this team, had a lot of shit talked by 49ers fans, whom I hate. That's why it pisses me off when Snyder screws around whether it's good or bad. I guess you can say I bleed burgundy and gold. Can any of you guys top that?

This isn't some sort of competition, so you don't have to go thumping your chest about your fanhood.

I'm just expressing my feelings of all the crap I've been through, I'm sure there might be other fans that have endured more. I've you seen this it also pains you of what a proud franchise this once was and what a joke or embarrassment it has become. Capish?

If you really feel that this team has become a joke or embarrassment how or why would you still cheer for them? If I felt that way I would not back a team.

Because I love the team, the tradition, history, etc. I don't like what our latest owner has done. I have lots of mixed feelings right now.

Well it was Gibbs that walked with another year on his contract leaving us with this issues. I'm not placing any judgement on what Snyder has done until I see the product on the field. Saunders system was not really working here. Williams while he has done a great job with our D we have no way of known if he was cut out to be a head coach. AS a matter of fact we have more evidence that says he has struggled as a head coach.

I think if we were going to hire Fassel we would of hired him by now so lets hope we can be greatful for that. I also think that is is fair to wait until after the Super Bowl to find the coach. It should almost be a rule that teams wait and hire the head coach untill after the Super Bowl. Who know maybe we will hire belichick. Highly doubtful and you all cant say that you would not want him. Besides what else does he have to prove in New England. Ok I will put my crack pipe down now.

the day I was born my mom was wearing a dallas cowboy shirt and I strangled her to death with the embilical cord. I've been in the angola pen since that very day. don't talk to me about fanhood.

First off I agree with the OP and I hope the Skins prove me wrong next year but I got a couple thoughts....

Well I agree with Landry but how is Zorn a genius? Hes been a QB coach for 7 years in Seattle not the Offensive Coordinator. I hope your right but im not crowning him as a genius just yet.

I see this team as a 6-10 team right now and this will not change. When a coaching staff has as many changes as we will have it will show on the field early in the first couple months of the season. This years team could click later on in the year but the NFC East is strong and we have just lost our whole teams identity in a period of less than a month. I dont care who we bring in in FA or the draft this team easily is worst off than any team in our division. Alot of people around here dont understand the importance of coaching. Come September people will realize what happens when you lose your HOF Head Coach, and 2 of the best coordinators in the game.
