Those Darned Redskins, Pt. Deux

So this Griffin fellow doesn't seem that great. (?)

Skins making a run..getting tight…

wasn't enough in the end…fell just a bit short but I think this is a game we can build on…I'm taking away a lot of positives…

the strong support by the fans continues to be a source of comfort and pride

Talk about fair-weathered fans.  Anyways, the Ravens game was crazy but at least they came through in the end.

Shanahan MAY be fired tomorrow….  You don't leak a story like this:

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10101919/mike-shanahan-was-ready-quit-washington-redskins-2012-season

…unless you have one foot out the door.

Thoroughly entertaning early slate of games.  If the Brown had made that field goal (CUNDIFF!) and/or the Steelers had made that return without stepping out of bounds (IRONY!), maybe one of the best ever.

Seems the headline of the article is a lie.    When all fans leave at half time they do deserve Snyder and Shanahan.

This is what Dan Snyder deserves. Not the team, not at all, but Daniel Snyder and Mike Shannahan and his arrogance. Seriously? Allowing 300+ yards on special teams and the FUCKING SPECIAL TEAMS COACH REMAINS ON THE TEAM. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. He's a Shannahan guy, so he'll stay. Same with Jim Haslett. That cunt hasn't produced a top 10 defense in ALL of his years as a coordinator OR a head coach. What does Dan Snyder hate? Not making money. How doesn't he make money? Whent the stadium fucking clears. Fuck him and fuck the whole organization. They've treated the fans like whores for years and this is what they get. I feel bad for the team, but even they have quit. I've always considered myself a die hard Skins fan, but this is just insanity. The coach doesn't care, the players don't seem to care, what more can we put up with?

People were GIVING away their tickets on my social media feeds. Last week they were going for a whopping $7 on StubHub. Screw them all. It isn't fair weather, when the team loses 5 in a row, it's snowing and raining, you're down by 4 fucking touchdowns at the half, I'd be the first one out the door. Dan Snyder needs to see what he has done. Shannahan and his whole coaching staff SHOULD be booed out of the stadium. Worthless garbage.

I know this is football and your posting on this thread automatically makes you a blockhead, but can you please refrain from using the "c" word?

It is fair weather fans when it is snowing and your whole stadium is empty.  There are only 8 games a year.  Is it too much to go to all  of them when you have season tickets.  Especially when you pay that much money for them.  

I do think you get overworked up about sports.  I saw you get like this on the Capitals thread.  It doesn't really matter if your team wins or loses it is just entertainment.  I mean it was great that the Ravens won last year but two weeks later it didn't make a difference to me and it certainly means nothing to me now.  I mean even if you are on the team it really shouldn't matter because the team would have no problem you cutting you right after you helped them win the Championship.

Is it your contention the Washington NFL team is not making money? The value of the organization has skyrocketed since he took over. They'll make hundreds of millions this year despite secondary market prices for tickets and lost potential concession sales in the second-half of homes games.

Daniel Snyder knows very little about running a successful team in the realm of football but he's absolutely made cash hand over fist despite his questionable football moves and continues to do so.

YEAH! stop acting like such a pussy, james ford.

Ticket sales don't matter because they've "already been sold" so he already has the money. When you have an 80,000+ person stadium and about 53,000 show up, it's less money. Dan Snyder has made  a boat load of cash off the team, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want more.

I really can't anything more. This team has been pathetic for the better part of 2 decades and any momentary glimpse of hope almost always seems to go up in flames. That 4 game winning streak, by this point last year, feels like it was a decade ago. RG3 feels like a guy on the way out instead of a shining savior.

This is a really stupid article. I mean, he's lecturing Shanahan for not treating Albert Haynesworth with respect? Haynesworth took a huge shit on the Redskins and basically stole their money. And Shanahan is unhappy that one of his players has a hush-hush back-channel relationship with the owner? He should be, especially when it's an owner like Snyder who has a long stupid history of meddling and interfering despite lacking any football intelligence or savvy.

I am not fan of Shanahan and think he needs to go, but anyone looking to this article for wisdom will find none. Boswell should stick to baseball.

Pretty harsh!

"Who deserves more blame, Mike Shanahan, the weasel of a coach who defames his enemies, deflects blame and now may duck out of town if he gets the firing he craves? "


I was surprised Shanahan said after the game that he didn't have the team ready to play yesterday! Seems like a crazy thing to admit to!

This seems a reach.. would Houston even be interested in Mike Shanahan?? with his record in DC?

"Out-of-work Kremlinologists who now study Ashburn, Va., will someday determine whether Shanahan really wants to be fired so he can get the first shot at the open Houston coaching job and take his son, Kyle, a successful offensive coordinator there in ?09-10, with him to a safe harbor and, perhaps, a No. 1 overall draft pick. After all, the Texans are the only team in the NFL with a worse record than Washington. Or maybe ?fired? ensures him more of the $7 million for ?14 that he?s owed, whereas ?I quit? squanders it. "

do you put this much effort into your job, as you do football?  if so, you must be the ceo, by now.
