Ive noticed something...weve handled this offseason a lot diffrent than any offseason in a while...all skins fans are irritated and even we ar predicting skins to have an ok season...when usually we predict greatness, but think about it every offseason we are always happy and we always end up losing in the season, this year we havent been signing big names and skins fans arent that happy, maybe this season well win

Though this has been beatin to death...

I share your sentinment, I feel like since we did less this offseason, the results will show on the field.

While the correlation between off-season happiness and season performance probably doesn't have any truth to it. . . . . .I still hope that you're right.

I pray you're right. Because if we don't succeed this year.....what else can we do? Stablize the team, we've done that. Get in high profile players, we've done that. Started a team of hard workers, I hope we've done that.
What else could we do? Practice?

Well, I don't know about other skins fans, but I'm very happy with everything as a whole. He's gotten rid of the bad apples, brought in some solid guys, and he's getting Ramsey on track rather quickly. He's got the majority of the team to buy into what he's selling, and that hasn't happened for a long long time. I mean just look at last season when things were going bad. The guys never gave up and they were not allowing many yards after the catch. Those have been huge killers for us for years. He and Williams of course were the ones that changed that. We also should have won like 4 more games. That was simply bad luck and limited offense.

This season Ramsey will take a big step forward, we'll have receivers that can stretch the field, our OLine will be 10 times better, Joe will put in most of the rest of his playbook and the defense will be just as good. What are your expectations given those things? I don't have concrete expectations but I do expect us to be very very competitive. We were very competitive last year. We'll have a much better season.

All the things Snyder has done wrong were wiped from the books when in a stroke of genius, he brought Joe Gibbs back into the fold.

This has been our best offseason in years...

Great post and great theory too. I think that you hit it directly on the "nose", i know that every year since we had Brad Johnson i have had high hopes. I think the fact that we are moving gradually means we will have a promising season because if you think about it our team cant get any worst, especially the offense.
