For Redskins fans, kind of like the Yalta conference. Sort of. Heh.

    I am right there with you in the torment of the Snyder area, O. I’ve made it known that I grew up in the DC area from 77-97 and man, those were the days! That’s where I learned football, from watching the Skins in the glory years. Theisman, Williams, Riepen(sp?) Riggo, Dexter, Monk, Washington, Mr Cooke, the birth of ‘The Hogs’, all of it.

    It’s not like they were always a crappy team, they were the best when Gibbs was at the helm. The best. They had the heart, soul and fire and watching them win three Super Bowls in ten years will always be a fond memory.

    But now? Sheesh. What a disaster. And the fans, the infamously loyal crazy Skins fans, how do they deal with it?

    Snyder seems like a good businessman who knows how to make money, but doesn’t know a goshdarned thing about running a football team.

      The first season I fully watched football was 1986-87. I thought football would always be like that, and then ‘91 came along, and I thought I was vindicated. BOY WAS I WRONG.

    Only the Raiders, Browns and Rams have scored less points this year. Snyder’s happy to have his Mr. Smithers-esque head coach

    I have watched the Redskins from the early 60s and they have been up and down since then, but they’ve NEVER been this bad. It’s very painful to watch them stumble along like this. There’s no emotion in the team, especially in Jason Campbell. He either can’t or won’t get the team spirit going.

    I think they should pay the players a standard salary and if they perform bonuses. They get the same money if they win or lose so where is the “want to” in that.
