c'mon people - it's Dallas week

[Countertrey]

I disagree. I think Snyder should continue to focus on promotions, advertising and marketing and let other, more qualified people focus on building a championship team.

True. Marketing is what Snyder knows... there is not one iota of actual evidence that Snyder has ONCE interfered in football operations since Shanahan started.

If Shannahan made the decision to spent 3 first round and a second for Griffin than he has earned his fate and deserves to be fired, if it was imposed on him we will hear from him upon his departure. I think it was a Snyder decision because he is a master marketeer and knew he'd make fortune in sales on Griffin. The exorbitant cost made the deal even more attractive for Snyder because of the enormous splash it made. I could be wrong, maybe Shanny was in on it but he was a conservative draft guy in the past while we all know Snyder's propensity to opt for the mega deal.

Yes it is Dallas week and knocking them out of the playoffs will be fun, I can't wait.

A win against Dallas would mean a lot at this point. The hardest thing to watch isn't a losing team but a team with no heart.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!!!!

WE WILL WIN. I GUARANTEE A VICTORY.

Farewell game for London Fletcher. Players will play for HIM and ONE ANOTHER. Not for Shanahan, Snyder or even money. THEY WILL PLAY as brothers because London deserves a home farewell with heart and a victory.

+1!
And so it shall be! Great post!

The only "evidence" of this is contained within your own cranium... This was Shanahan's pick... unless he is one hell of a good actor... you may recall that he was absolutely giddy over the selection... unless, of course, that memory is not convenient to your postulation. There is just nothing to suggest that Snyder's role was anything more than to say "Yes, you may pull the trigger". It was a very serendipitous coincidence that Bob was also a marketing gold mine. But, whatever... you just keep beating that long dead horse.

Convenient memories. It is way to easy to put blame on Dan because of all the things he has done in the past. That is why I get a little agitated when people assume Snyder is behind the mess during this regime. I know he is responsible for what Shanahan inherited but that doesn't mean he hasn't changed as of late.

As far as this Skins vs Dallas game... I am finding it hard to chalk this up to a win. Their defense is missing quite a few people but Dallas can put up points in a hurry. The good news is I think we can do this if there are no turn overs on our part. Our defense might have a good day if we can score early and often. We are do a win.

Dallas trailed 14-10 in the third quarter and faced a 4th-and-1 from midfield. Dallas lined up, obviously trying to pull the Redskins offsides. At some point during the snap count, though, Danny White decided to audible into a running play. He handed the ball off to Ron Springs, who ran left. Washington defensive end Charles Mann crashed the right side of the line, and guard Herbert Scott could not block him. Springs lost two yards, and the Cowboys lost momentum they had gained since coming back from an early 14-0 deficit.

I agree with both - I actually thought that gibbsfan was referring to Jones …

Snyder has obviously changed - he's learned that he can be an owner and let NFL guys manage the players and game planning
Dan's obviously enjoying mixing with the players and coaches in a way that is no longer the distraction and cause for problems that it used to be


Jerrah's got a lot of bad things happening with his franchise - this game this week is HUGE

It's always great to beat the pukes from Dallas - this one's going to be special and have big ramifications for that franchise in Pukesville, TX

"NO, DANNY! NOOOOO!" while visions of sugar plums dance in the kids heads... that play... along with the BEST TACKLE EVER (on Oct 8, 1973 at RFK) dance in mine...

Yes, you could...


and absolutely are, IMO.

There is no doubt that Mike made the pick - I do think that he shared his thinking with Dan

like C'trey intimated, Mike's in charge and makes these decisions - he keeps Dan informed & Dan obviously supports what Mike and the FO are doing and have done
