What's wrong With this Team?

oh plz!

What's wrong with this team now is we forgotten who we are as a team and as fans! Team isn't about getting the beat free agents or the next great college star in the draft! It's about getting parts that fit that makes a team! I just watched the NFL networks America"s Game About the 82 Redskins. What we have lost is the sighted is it's not about getting a team of all star together but getting players that fit what we wanted to do. There is no substitute for hard work and throwing money at what you wanted isn't going to make it happen. What we need to get back to is look for players that fit what we wanted to do. As coaches find what we wanted to do. As a Owner look at what has worked and throw off what hasn't!

Another thing that hit me watching that show we will never be the Cowboys and would never wanted to be. The media is never going to love the Redskins! I like it like that ..... us against the world and that's the kind of owner,coaches,players and fans we all need to be! So when they say bad things about us.... who gives a shit!

So what do we need to do in free agentcy and the draft? Find players that fit what we need to make it work. If one is a so called star so be it. If one is a rejected from some other team so be it. What ever it takes! We as a team need to get back to what makes us great Redskins and that is us against the world mentality.


Continue to look on the brightside RedskinPete, and remember that all sickness is not death. Things will get better if we can get our defense back in the top ten we will win our share of games. Even as bad as we played last year, there were still some moments when we resembled a team.

I think we were real close to establishing a legitimate perennial (sp?) playoff team with both Turner and Schottenheimer but I guess the guy signing the checks didn't feel that they could get us to the top. Dan Snyder doesn't seem to be a guy who settles for mediocrity or second place. He's willing to break it all down again and again until all of the puzzle pieces form the complete picture. His methods are pretty aggresive. He doesn't seem to be one who wants to let the current situation play itself out. What's wrong with this team? Dan Snyder wants to be #1 and is stopping at nothing to get his team there.

Starts at the top. The owner sucks. Guy spends good money on everything but a GM.

that's deep man

funny i was thinking the same exact thing. If you take a look at the successful franchises in this league they all have one common denominator....most have a real gm. Not an owner and his "yes" man making personnel decisions like they are throwing darts at pictures of players they want.

True....so true..
I agree with the owner statement, however the owners not the guy, running, throwing or catching the ball, and he's damn sure not making any tackles. Anyone that on the field is supposed to have a shot at doing something great. Now that we have a season with one offensive scheme under our belt we need to play another one.....no changes, no big named players...just do it and see if it will work. They have been trying to judge a scheme off of one season and that's just not right.

But the bigger question glaring us in the face is do we have the personnel to run the offense that saunders brought with him? I am starting to lean towards "NO" we dont. If you look at the last 6 games of the season that wasnt your typical saunders offense. I think gibbs finally got to him and made him devise a "redskin" gameplan which focused around betts running the ball early and often. We need to get back to smashmouth football. We have two stud running backs and decent o-line who loves to run block. I think the best solution is to run the ball until you cant run no more and lets see where we are at the end of next season. Add in a defense who can make plays and i think we will be right in the thick of things next season come december.

sorry for bringing back a dead thread and nothing i am going to write has not been written here before i am sure but i agree with redskins pete, the FO has done a horrible job of figuring out how to win football games . .

back when we had brad johnson at qb ('98?) things were building realtively well we just needed a kicker to make a few more kicks; since brad has left and spurrier came in it has been a non-stop carousel at QB which is IMO the very most important postion to have a return starter . .with the whole gators qb crew, the non-development (got creamed rookie year) then mishandling (when primed to give best shoot gets usurped by boonnel) of ramsey our team has never really had a shoot at consistent winning . . . i think campbell is going to right many wrongs on our offense but i probaly thought the same thing when ramsey was returning for his 2nd year . .

ps what portis adds to our offense over betts is not worth 10 mill a year, does his contract reach 15 mill at some point? this is the last year portis' contract stays earthly unless the skins can do some serious magic


Nice post, word of warning OVM, you can't take shots at Brunell, Portis, or Gibbs, it's a site rule. And the name Ramsey has been stricken, so let it be written, so let it be done.

Those are only the most discussed topics on this site, but yeah we don't allow that

:doh:
