hech of a post. I miss the Jack Kent Cook days. Save three seasons, the Skins have been absolute garbage since Snyder took over. For years he was like a Jerry Jones 2.0, but finally over the last few seasons he's learning to back off and let the football people make decisions. Even still, sometimes he meddles too much.
I'm hearing whispers of RG3 possibly coming back this week. What a horrible idea that would be. let him rest the next two weeks and then the bye...we'll see him in November. That'll give him 7 weeks to prove he's the man moving forward. If he fails to impress, who knows what Gruden might do in the off-season. Cousins is clearly not the answer some of us (myself included for a few weeks) thought he was.
While Snyder isn't the best owner, there is no way the Washington Redskins would ever leave DC. they're one of the top 5 most valuable professional teams in the United States, and one of the most popular.
Though they've been awful for the past 15-20 years, the Washington Redskins are one of the most storied and celebrated teams in NFL history. No way the team would ever leave Washington DC. Name change might come one day, but they'll never leave the Nation's capital.
Never say Never!
I know for fact there were many Cleveland Browns fans who said the exact same thing back in 1995! If the Browns can leave Cleveland, then any team can leave their current city!
There is zero evidence that Snyder will ever sell and even less that the team will move so this speculation is kind of silly in my opinion.
I haven't been here for a while and went back to see if there were many posters screaming at the start of the year that Kirk Cousins was a better option than Griff. I've gotten into it with people who held this position all over the internet and was about to laugh at some here. Shockingly I didn't really see it which is a surprise as I heard this opinion all over town and on the radio as well.
Made no sense then and even less now. Kirk has never shown that he had earned the right to compete for the job let alone that he was the better option.
I've been critical of the Redskins regarding some of their past, mainly their original owner George Preston Marshall. But when Edward Bennet Williams bought the franchise from Marshall in the mid 1960's, he injected life into a franchise that was having big problems. Probably Mr. Williams' most noted move was luring Vince Lombardi away from Green Bay. A lot of the newer fans aren't aware that Lombardi gave the franchise their first winning season since the years of their (IMO) most noted player in their history--"Slinging" Sammy Baugh.
He didn't have to make a lot of changes as his roster was fairly similar to their previous coach-Otto Graham. Lombardi took the club to a 7-5-2 record. And something happened to that franchise that year that didn't happen before. All the home games were sellouts.
45 years later they still sell out. It's the longest sellout streak in the NFL. Denver is second.
From a giants fan, please beat the figgin cowboys tonight.
Indeed we have NFC East comrade, indeed we have
