Team was not prepared for "situational football"

I don't think that what Snyder has done is all that different from the rest of the league or even our own history. In fact, I know it's not. But I can accept that as a critique of him. If nothing else, because he's been doing it with the wrong people. I mean that's totally valid.

I'm not trying to out and out bash him, just saying he should share in the responsibility of the last 10 years for the decisions he has made. I think his decision to hire a GM is one of the best he's made since he's owned the team.

He admitted to making some mistakes over the past decade, we'll just have to see how well he learns from them. He's not the first and he won't be the last owner to make some bad hires, get a little too involved, etc

In Snyder's defense (I've never done this before), who among us would not get involved if we had $1bil. invested in an organization? And who among us has never made a mistake about football, other people's skills, etc.?

True. But if I was bright enough to have $1bil. I'd probably be bright enough to hire someone who knows the business to run it. Your business is usually only as good as the people you hire. I think he's learning from his mistakes though. After 10 years you would think he would.
