I love this board in the off season.....but

Man oh man here it is week one and let the drama begin. Zorn sucks, campbell sucks, vinnie sucks, snyder sucks......the #*$*$%((($$$$@@@ season is over....

a few weeks ago, many were commenting that against our division teams we should hope to split and be 3-3 in those games. that seems like a reasonable thought and i realize we are still on track to do that

I hate to loose as much as anyone. but seriously,, is cutting/trading everyone and bringing in new coaching in mid season gonna fix everything? I can't imagine

Re: I love this board in the off season.....but

TWP is typically a place for extremes. The Redskins apologists never look critically enough. The haters are always too critical. It's par for the course and for any message board.

In my opinion. We have some relatively serious problems, these problems are:
O-line.
Predictable and overall weak playcalling.
Tackling, especially in the secondary.
Pass rush. I still feel like Orakpo at SLB is an absolute waste of talent. Let him pin his ears back.

It's not the end of the world, but the team I saw out there is a 3rd-4th place finisher in the division and home once again in January. It's not too late to fix problems, but as of now -- that's what I see.

Without playoffs this year, I expect Zorn gone.

No it isn't, but it does allow us to blow off steam. We spend money to go see these assholes lose football games. We invest time watching the draft, going on-line and reading articles, and sitting in front of the television. We sit in traffic for hours while they give interviews about how bad they suck. We also have to eat humble pie at work. I'm surrounded by New York and Dallas fans. So eff these over paid babies.

After all is said and done, if the only thing I can complain about is a loser football squad, then life ain't bad.

When a team blows 160+ million on 3 FA (Haynesworth, Hall, Dockery) you would expect better performance.

Re: I love this board in the off season.....but

The gameday threads are insanity.

"OH WE SUCK!"

"WOW, WHAT A PLAY!"

"WHY?"

"YESSSSSSSSS!"



I never read or post in them during games, they're just crazy. I always go back and read the entire thread the day after. I always get plenty of laughs.

If we win, will it be considered "blowing"?

Blowing money is what the Giants just did for Eli Manning.

Haynesworth will be worth it. Value-wise, we'll get the better deal.

The above offensive post was thankfully edited out, so this post is now useless, so I'll also edit it out.

Its fun to scan through the game day thread to see how at one point people are calling some one a peice of $hit then they make a big play and the same person is then talking about how great the player is.

I guess the word "suck" has been used so much lately that the site was flagged as a place where such spam would be welcome.

Re: I love this board in the off season.....but

The shit always hits the fan after a loss, after a win it's much more calm. Hopefully the next 5 weeks or so will be Zen-like around here.

Re: I love this board in the off season.....but

This isn't ES where people start a thread about almost everything imaginable. I don't think I could stand ES after being here. I have been on forums that are like ES and the clutter is almost unbearable. Last week there was one day where 5 pages of new threads were made, some of them triple duplicates. Anyway so long as the mods walk around quietly with a giant death ray the rest of us should be ok.

I think you're focusing too much on the players and the FO and not the coaches. I find them all three parties (players, FO, and the coaches) equally at fault.

But at the same time you are being unrealistically to expect this team to have a good game every single time.

Well calling them assholes is stupid. It sounds like you've got issues. No one is telling you to spend your money going to games. That's your fault.
