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

I don't get down with the ostrich mentality. Keep pretending like we are a consistent winner if it makes you feel good. Keep your heads in the sand. It is what it is, get over it. There's nothing "ostrich" about choosing the optimistic path. I'm well aware of the weaknesses of our front office, and ...

Well the Atlanta job was an example of the media reporting a story where Gibbs was persuaded to take the Falcons coaching job. Who nows how many other offers Gibbs had on the table from other teams over the 12 or 13 year period after retiring from the Redskins. I gurantee you a coach of his calibur ...

The fact of the matter is, is that Dan Snyder was able to hire Gibbs to coach the Redksins. Gibbs could have taken any job with any team that was available, but Snyder brought him back to the Redskins. Give credit where credit is due. Snyder also allowed Gibbs to run the team his way, he allowed ...

I seem to have irreconcilable differences with the way management operates. I am convinced that a flawed leadership at the Front Office will ALWAYS be unable to put a consistently winning team on the field. I truly harbouur no expectations whatsoever about the success of the Redskins under the ...

The best news from that article is the fact that they are saying springs will be retained. He was probably the MVP of the defense in are winning stretch at the end of last season and has been consistent the whole time he has been a redskin.

It really baffled me when Gregg williams didnt start ...

Ok, he took a team do the super bowl, when was the last time the redskins played in that game. He also took a team to the playoffs three times in 7 years. Look at the last 15 years of the Redskins.

If he had that same success with Giants that has with Redskins, that will be the most successful ...

My question is this: Why are people so hellbent on the fact that Fassel cannnot succeed? I really dont understand why people do not think that a a coach with a winning record and super bowl experience can't be successful Explain this for me.

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!

Or from Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post yesterday.

First off, the majority of the coaching staff is returning including the likes of Bugel and Danny Smith. Its not like the new coach is going to bring in "his guys" when virtually the entire staff is in place.

Why do people think that we cant be successful with the coach Snyder chooses. We have ...

How can people think Dan Snyder is just blindly hiring assistants, of course the nest head coach is helping to pull the strings on these moves.

I really can see Steve Spagnulo as the next head coach. Why wait unitl after the super bowl .

Assuming the hiring of SS is in the works, it would only ...

If you're gonna think positive, then think positive.

Since "Dan has the best interests of the Redskins in mind," then the trading of picks shouldn't change your positive perspective, should it?

Unless you not a positive thinker, but more of a fence sitter.

Well I think its proven that you ...

I am just looking at the situation and trying to think positve.

First if we do go the way of Jim fassel then a) he's taken a team to a super bowl and has a wining record and B)If you look at the cowboys, Parcells built the team, and then with an entirely different staff, they had a succesfull ...

Hey, its been a while since my last post, but I was insensed at the fact Portis was not in on the final goal lin possesion. Portis just has a nose for the endzone and betts has a knack for choking. HE\e had numerous key fumbles last year, the rams game being one example. I was shocked that Portis ...

The opinion of "street cred" gets a 3 page thread and counting. It must be the good ol offseason, and quite possibly the most relevant "street cred has ever felt as a writer.

Who cares? THis year we only had one pick in the first round.
Next year we will have six picks. Three picks in the first round. That is alot better than what we had this year.


Three picks in the first round? I think you meant the first day , right.

Who cares? Apparently myself, and I hope any ...

I was commenting on how you said that other teams feel like they can take advantage of the redskins. Then I commented on how are dealings with other teams have actually been one of our strong suits. How you are making a connection to our poor play, to our dealings with other teams, just dosent make ...

I heard about the third rounder, but now it comes to light we ALSO gave a fourth rounder in 2008 for Duckett? And not only did we not use him in 2007, he's already gone?

Every team in the league must be lining up to do business with the Redskins. Biggest suckers in the league. Like that stupid fat ...

Been a while since I posted, but I feel like fans take the business side of football to personal. If ST is holding out to get a new contract, can you knock the guy for trying to maximize his guranteed money when he is at his peak value due to his age. Also I hate this "play under the contract you ...

the only thing aa did well on sun was miss a easy tackle which allowed taylor to force a fumble. He takes the wrong angle every play it seems like. Terribly frustrating to watch.

been a while since my last post and feel like venting.

AA has been flat out horrible. He cant tackle and consistetly takes the wrong angle. He is just a glorified matt bowen with a great work out plan. He would make a better a strenth coach then safety. He actually gets me more upset then the ...

HE raised ticket prices for two reasons, first to support his spending, and second, because he can.

If we assume that Snyder operates the Redskins in a rational (profit-maximizing) manner, then the first part of your statement is incorrect.

Snyder wants to get as much money out of FedEx Field as ...

You must not have been a redskin fan the year before gibbs came back.
