Well.. If this is true. Ill find another team.

I would have preferred Gruden or even Haslett as HC instead of DC (He probably would've kept the 4-3). But now? No way will there be another overhaul in the offseason. Maybe some assistants and scouts will change but no coordinators, MS or Bruce Allen will be let go.

You have truly lost all sense of reality...or you were drunk or pissed as hell when you wrote this comment.

Shanahan isn't going anywhere.

[SouperMeister]

Pure speculation on Florio's part. Much ado about nothing. With all the rebuilding that is necessary, Shanny will be here at least 3-4 years. It may take that long to turn the corner and start winning consistently, and only if the FO performs much better than the Snyder/Cerrato team that left the team in shambles.

i must admit i dont like shannahan so far, i dont like how he has handled many thing this year, but i highly doubt firing him would be good for this team after just 1 year. we need players to be able to learn a scheme on offense, to be able to get players to fit our scheme, etc., it takes time to do that.

[BleedBurgundy]

Shanahan put the team in position to win yesterday. He doesn't kick field goals or perform snaps. Dude has D+ level talent at 50% of skill positions. Just wtf is he supposed to do?

[MonkFan4Life]

If that happens,...Peace then homie !

I wish you and your new team well on your future endeavors...

[Dread-Skin]

This would be it for me too. I have 25 jerseys and everything under the sun redskins merchandising and I would stop putting money into the organization for everything. Never to go to another game and never buy so much as another hat. I'd jump ship and swim to detroit if by sewer if need be until SNYDER sold the team and that would kill me b/c my family has had season tix for 40+ years and my grandparents (long passed on) would have to understand.

But no seriously- breaking point I would leave for the Ravens.
I think the story is BS but Ive always said when this team operates as a team 1st and not a business we see production on the field.

I'll never understand the mindset of someone who switches teams. If you ask me they aren't a real fan to begin with. And the threats of switching are even more hilarious. Just switch, who cares.

I can see some people switching teams like when a new team forms and becomes your home team. I can also see when a team moves.

These are about the only scenarios I can understand. Part of me does get how a fanbase could feel so burned by a team that they just lose interest, but I would think that as soon as that team starts winning, they would always come back.

As a Skins fan, Sundays have largely sucked the past 15 years. While I recognize it's just a game, I can't deny that I have felt bummed and frustrated for hours after the final whistle. But it would feel completely false to just "pick another team." The fun is in being emotionally invested. I mean, do you just start rooting for the Patriots because they usually win? Seems kind of pathetic imo.

as an skins and Os fan, i cant picture being a fan of a consistently successful team. i tell my lady not to worry, that one day when the skins or Os are back on top we will feel a joy that other bandwagon fans wont be able to elicit b/c they didnt live and die with the bad times.

i always envision watching the Os or skins win it all in a crowded bar, everyone is going bananas but im just sitting there smiling. im not the guy running or climbing up telephone polls waving a flag or crying, but im just sitting there smiling a deep sense of content wondering where all these so-called die hards came from.

idk, sports fan psychology is weird to me. i embrace the suck, mayeb living in this area it is a nature more than nuture thing.

[MonkFan4Life]

Seriously fellas stop faking. If you're done with the team then be done. Stop with the if this and if that because newsflash,...it will not be all sunshine and flowers. Do you think Patriots fans were this happy years ago ? How about Colts fans ? They had their time and now it's ours.

Don't bullshit around about this, there are 31 other teams in the league so pick one that will win and do everything that you, ESPN and the NFL Network will praise at all times. Either piss or get off the damn pot.

Hail to the muhfuggin Redskins !

[53Fan]

I'll admit sometimes it's "Hail To The Redskins" and other times it's "Go to Hell Redskins" but it's my team...PERIOD!

[BleedBurgundy]

I mean seriously, how much worse can it get? The Skins are laughing stocks, clearly the worst team in the NFC East with little hope of being more than that next year. The roster is lacking starter quality talent in most positions and the team has traded away two key draft picks this year for marginal (at best) players, one of which is a past his prime quarterback who was way overrated from the beginning. There's not much hope for a big improvement next year.

The only bright side is that it's actually better now than a year ago. Last year they were 4-12 and running the "swinging gate" with a hopelessly outmatched assistant turned Head Coach and a coked up GM. If you didn't leave then, why now? You should be most proud to be a fan today, because that means you can enjoy it that much more when this team finally gets its collective shit together. Sure, it'll be 2043, but at least you can tell your grandchildren that you stuck with them through Spurrier, Gibbs 2.0, Zorn (seriously, f'ing zorn) and Shanahan. Your QBs have been Wuerffel, Ramsey, Brunell, Campbell and McNabb. A portion of your fanbase was actually excited about Colt Brennan.

That's called street cred folks. And it's worth its weight in wins.
