Thread/Post prediction for the next year ...

Next 3 weeks: Lots of pessimistic posts about how bad the Redskins are ... and their dysfunctional and insane owner

Playoffs/Superbowl: Little activity -- mostly posts about the playoffs

Feb-Apr: Posts about what the Skins need to do to fix the problem and who they need to draft.

Pre-Draft: There will be some good posts about a perfect draft from board members more qualified to run the draft than Snyder/Allen.

Post-Draft: Incensed posts about why the Skins didn't take any OL high in the draft (again). And quizzical posts about why the Skins drafted 3 LB's, TE, FB, and a Punter.

Jun-July: Curious posts about why the Skins traded more future draft choices for over-the-hill past stars. I expect the Skins will eventually trade for Peyton Manning, giving up a #2 and #4 draft pick ... but only when he turns 45 and can't throw anymore (remember Brunell? remember McNabb?)

Aug: Rose colored glasses fans posting about what a great season 2015 will be. And how they skins are set up to go 10-6. Confidence is further buoyed when the skins go
3-1 in the preseason. (Skins always win the exhibition season).

Sep: Fans crash back to earth when the skins get blown out opening day 32-7.

Oct: Dejection and disappointment sets in as the Skins start off 1-4 ... and another bleak season unfolds.

Nov: More posts about adopting a 2nd team

Dec: Lots of pessimistic posts about how bad the Redskins are ... and their dysfunctional and insane owner

Looks about right. Don't forget the angst ridden posts concerning the name change. Then there are the scheme questions even though guys are running free inspite of our teamwide laziness. Oh yeah ... and in the face of stacked boxes while down 17 points in the 2nd half ... RUN THE DAMN BALL!

U forgot churching up of mediocre players to make us believe the rubish we are fielding is actually proffessional caliber and the delusion that we will be in contention every (any) week.

+1 - I'm afraid we're in for more of the same here - I'm not buying it this time around

I'd love for the FO to have a huge shake up and change the way we operate, but nothing is really going to happen unless Dan Snyder takes himself out of the process completely - if he's still involved, there's no way we go very far with the lack of effort and terrible attitude this organization has shown under his guidance

I predict that if Dan Snyder is still involved with who coaches & plays here, we will look good in August & be out of the playoff run in November

Look good in August? That maybe more than we should expect.

I blame season ticket holders and fans who give any form of financial support to the team.

All it would take is bleeding Snyder's money for him to sell shop; money is all he cares about.

Don't see what the hold up is here with the fans...make it happen already.
