Heartbreaking...this is killing me!!

Not me. The Redskins made sweet love to me one late December night. I'll never forget.

All 53 or just the starting Offense or D? Jeez, TMC, you're a little whore.

It would be so much easier to accept if we didn't have the talent we have. It is just so hard to understand why we stink... because we shouldn't.

Stop being a fan then. After all, we are the ones that initiate the relationship between fan and team.

I kind of agree with 70chip. For fans that pay thousands of dollars for season tickets I do think the team owes that fan a competitive product on the field and some excitement for their $. Right now the skins are not delivering that.

Absolutely. We should not stink. So, what is the solution. I don't want to get stuck on acceptance. Acceptance does not facilitate change. I think the first step is to work in Campbell. We also need to evaluate why the defense is so poor with nearly the same personnel as last year. Is the defense getting too old? Is the scheme to predictable? Identify the problem then fix it. By fix it, I don't mean go out and get the 2002 Pro Bowl defense in free agency.

Thank you irish. I was starting to wonder if I was alone in this sentiment. It almost seemed as if this idea was offensive to some people. I think having a competitive team in return for fan dollars is quite reasonable. It would be awful if the prevailing opinion was "we don't care what the fans think, take what you get or go away" WTF

The solution? Rebuild the right way. Build a coaching staff, a front office, and a plan built for the future. Every year we mortgage the draft and everything else for big time players AND COAHCES. It's time to find our Cowher, a coach that will be here for a long time. Assistants will always shuffle about when they get head coaching jobs, etc. It's time for the Redskins to put a plan into action, and spend a few more years getting the talent right. We have some great building blocks.

Portis, Campbell, Cooley, Samuels, Thomas (injuries may be a problem), Dockery, Moss, Lloyd, and Randel El all happen to be young enough to work on this rebuilding phase keeping us a solid - mediocre team on offense. Then on defense we have Rogers, Taylor, Washington, Marshall (maybe), Griffin, Carter. McIntosh (hopefully!) as young building blocks. We need to build through the draft, I dont care if every player is making 239842 trillion dollars a year, as long as Snyder and Co find a way to keep us under the cap like they have. However, find and keep players that WANT TO BE HERE (Fred Smoot and Ryan Clark come to mind).

One position entirely ignored by our coaching staff is the roleplayer. The guy that does the dirty work that allows a player like Sean Taylor to roam.

All 53 or just the starting Offense or D? Jeez, TMC, you're a little whore.

Whatever keeps my faith in the team, RR. Whatever keeps my faith.

Complete agreement, Daseal. The key is to build the right way. This organization speeds to much time in panic mode, looking for the quick fix. We would all like to win now, but recent history tells us all that the current plan is not working. Why can we see this as fans, but the owner and GM cannot?

The Skins were 2 wins from the Super Bowl last year. All this team should have needed this year is a "quick fix".

So, one could assume that Saunders system is a major part of the problem on the offensive end
