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

personally, I am happy to see Gibbs go. My feelings have remained the same since midseason. The game has passed him by. I suspect we have been through more coaches the past 10 years than any franchise in the NFL but lets all face the facts, the new Gibbs was a .500 (mediocre) coach. This franchise ...

Eagles showed some heart and helped to expose the patriots a little. Wish we showed up against the pats. We lack that character and heart right now.

Portis is going downhill. The game has passed Gibbs by. This once glorious franchise sucks right now and has been bad ever since Danny came to town. JKC would be ashamed the way Danny has completely sold out this team in the name of $$.

we suck. I am pissed. This coaching staff stinks. I am getting really sick of Gibbs.... what have you done for me lately?

I think we have a good chance here but I fear that all this overconfidence will jinx us. They've won 9 out of last 11. I know we're an improved team but I am sure there have been many similar threads on this forum during the past 5 year predicting vitory. I hate the eagirls... they have dominated ...

Knee-Jerk... we blew it.

nice win today. Nice to finally enjoy a football game. Cannot take anything good out of this year yet. This team still needs a personell overhaul and a new attitude. It starts with the top #1 danny #2 gibbs. Anyone wonder how good we could have been if the man upstairs stuck it out with Marty?

time to get rid of gibbs and rebuild. Gibbs has neither the time nor the patience to did it.

We stink - tired of getting my hopes up! This board if full of homers and I blame you all for making me think this stinkin team has any shot in hell. We stink! Fire Gibbs! Bench the old man QB! Sick and frigin tired of this team. If they were consistently bad life would be easier. But to be so ...

Having traveled to each of the NFL's 32 stadiums on the Ultimate Sports Road Trip, Andrew Kulyk and Peter Farrell have seen more stadiums than the Maddencruiser. Here are a few of their observations.

gotta root for Dallas even though I hate the the Philly fans as much as I hate TO. Philthy is the bigger threat, scarier team and I can't stand the though of them winning the division again. All the press these fans are getting right now makes me sick. When was the last time the skins fans were ...

fire gibbs!

From what I remember he had some nagging hamstring injuries first few years but has been pretty healthy the past two. Fast, young dude though. Steal for the them too considering we gave up the same amount for duckett. Philly is starting to worry me a little more... they looked good on that Friday ...

its a given opportunity to teach your kid about sport, aggression, passion, drunks, the power of crowds, mob mentality, saftey and where to find it, maturity, but above all when to tell the clown in front of you to sit down when nothing is happening...
absolutely agree. Unfortunately, we have too ...

Having been to Redskins games at Giants stadium and in Philadelphia there is definitely a more lively, loud, energetic atmosphere compared to Fedex. Fedex is a bit more corporate of an atmosphere and this is reflected by the fact that fans do not get up on their feet. It really ups the energy and ...

Worst trade
Washington Redskins: Gave up a late round pick and inexplicably dealt a second-rounder next year to trade up with the Jets in Round 2 and pick Rocky McIntosh. I like the Miami linebacker, but not that much to give away a big portion of the 2007 draft.

That's because the Eagles stockpile picks and don't trade them away like we do.

Gibbs is obviously a great coach but the front office routinely gets schooled in the draft because of the skins unwillingness to "stockpile" picks leading to little maneuverability and impact.

"The Philadelphia Eagles have informed the Green Bay Packers that they're interested in disgruntled wideout Javon Walker. Walker who had a great year in 2004 for the Packers when he caught passes for over 1300 yards and scored 12 touchdowns, let the Packer organization know that he doesn't want to ...

That article from the post makes me even more concerned. Way too many ifs.
This breakdown comes from a pretty unbiased site and also paints a worrisome picture for the future.

Doesn't mean next year won't be a great one but few teams are able to maintain consistent success without a shrewd ...

Odds per espn, http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2322228 as of feb 6. I realize these are not the official betting odds, but they do represent the media's favorites.

Indianapolis Colts 4/1
Seattle Seahawks 5/1
New England Patriots 4/1
Carolina Panthers 6/1 ...

Current odds per ESPN has us at 20:1 behind the Cowboys, Eagles, and Giants to win SB 41. Is this an issue of respect, or do we really have that many questions heading into next year? I will be putting some $$ on the skins regardless, but maybe I am just an optimisic homer

I am pissed. We worked hard to get to the playoffs and we wasted a golden opportunity. Next year won't be so easy with the return a healthy eagles and development of a well balanced giants team. We probably won't even be division favorites. We some big offseason moves and a Ramsey-Brunell brain-body ...

I have been a long time lurker but all this talk about congratulations and support is really beginning to piss me off. The reality is we lost and it wasn't even that close. We have been suffering with this team and our embarrassing excuse for an owner for 6 years now. Jack Kent Cooke would be ...
