The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

That is the word that they will be using in five years when they look back on this deal.

While the Rams can use their newly acquired treasure trove of first round picks to draft positions of need and build a much more competitive team...

All the Redskins will have to show for this trade are ...

Wait...I'm confused...

Which re-build are we talking about?

The one that started in 1993? Or 1998? 2003? 2006?

Or this most recent one in 2010?

Please be more specific.

If someone on the Redskins' offense or coaching staff displayed the tiniest bit of competence or actual desire to win.

That would be cool.

Probably something like:

"That guy was supposed to be open. I guess he ran the wrong route. I'll have to talk to Coach Spurrier about this at halftime after I have a cheeseburger."

No. We need several.

Once again, the Redskins have a chance to essentially end another NFC East team's season at FedEx Field.

And once again, they fail catastrophically. And inexplicably.

Thus relinquishing their short-lived lead in the division, while at the same time resuscitating an Eagles team that was BEGGING ...

Every sports team goes through good years and bad years, and it's really how the team bounces back from losses that will truely define their toughness.

Sooooo...

If a team has bad DECADES...what does THAT say?

Because the Redskins have now had TWO of those in a row.

I was sick and ...

^this too.

A blitz? Why? Play everybody deep. Make Romo make a perfect throw to a double-covered receiver.

Oh, and creating a turnover at the Cowboys' 10 and getting THREE points out of it? Yeah...um...

That'll get you beat, too.

Redskins still the Redskins.

Playing a huge game. Against a team banged up and having issues even lining up. Don't even give up a touchdown.

And lose.

^this

Another mind-numbing, soul-crushing, inexplicable loss in Dallas?

Ho hum.

Had a 17 point lead and had Houston 3rd and 15. Make THAT stop and you're probably going to win. Two plays later, Houston cuts the lead to 10.

Had a chance at a nice, easy insurance field goal, and right on cue...it gets stuffed back into their faces. (That's two big field goal miscues in two ...

This team should be 0-2.

New season, new coach, new quarterback...

...same ol' BS.

What a disgrace.

For the men on the field. For the management. For the ownership. For the fans. For everyone involved in the great history of the organization.

This whole thing is a mess, and there are so many leaks that I don't have the mental strength to think about them all.

What I can ...

One of the most spectacular, colossal, improbable, unbelievable losses in a while. And for THIS team, that's saying something.

There are so many things wrong with this thing that it would make me sad to list them all.

The off-season gets closer and closer. And I can't wait. I just hope and ...

best quarter all season so far!

And we're *ONLY* 13 weeks into the season!

If it was September, I might be remotely enthused about this. But now that there's no REAL pressure to win, they can find it in themselves to play like this.

See, this is still the same team that lost at home to ...

yeah well that same crap cost us a fuble earlier this year

I was just screaming the same thing at my television.

All of a sudden, fair catch interference *IS* a penalty? Where was that call against Carolina in a crucial situation?

NFL Officiating - We call it like we see it. Sometimes ...

Oh, I don't know...

Maybe the rotten corpse of my great-great-great-great-grandfather?

Can't be much of a downgrade there, can it? And I bet the Redskins can get him cheap.

+1

First and goal at the 5, and they have to use a fake field goal to score.

This is going to be a LONG, LONG, LOOOOONG season.

Now, there's an intelligent post.

I love this team. I'm also quite realistic about who and what they are.

House-cleaning come February 2010.

Watch and see.

Washington Redskins football failure.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

4-12 here we come!

How to beat the Giants? Simple!

Like Chef told the South Park dancers...

"We just gotta buckle down, dig deep, and pray that maybe the other team comes down with cancer."

Honestly, though...

As mentioned above, convert third downs. Control the clock and win time of possession by 6-8 ...

@Giants - Loss
Rams - Win
@ Detroit - Win
Tampa - Win
@ Carolina - Loss
Chiefs - Win
Philly - Loss
@ Atlanta - Loss
Denver - Win
@ Dallas - Loss
@ Philly - Loss
Saints - Loss
@ Raiders - Win
Giants - Loss
Dallas - Win
@ Chargers - Loss

So...7-9. Another good start that leads ...

Na Na Naaaaaaaa Naaaaaaaaaaa...

Na Na Naaaaaaaaa Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Hey Hey Hey...

Final score:

Seahawks 24

Redskins 20

Good game, guys.

But not really.

Well, look at the bright side...

The Redskins and the Cowboys will win the EXACT SAME NUMBER of Superbowls this year.

...which looks to be one less than the Giants, but that's another issue altogether.
