What drives me the most nuts about the Skins is that it seems like EVERY f-ing year, the Skins are the team that some kind of record is broken on. Whether is be the Lions losing streak or a "career" game for someone, it's ALWAYS the Skins.

Bid farewell to Bidwell. Jeez, his lapse in consistency hit at the WORST time in the Texans game.

Not sure why we replaced him and the Red Snapper. Those are two positions that if they are not broking leave them alone.

Our personnel does not fit a 3-4. Carter looks lost in space, Haynesworth is disinterested, and the corners are average at best in this scheme.

I really didn't think the refs had much to do with our overall crappy, sloppy, and uninspired play.
They lost their best player in Jackson, and still managed to control the game with a rookie QB no less.Rookie QBs OWN the Redskins - I heard a stat cited that the Skins are 0-6 in their last six meetings versus rookie QBs. That is truly astonishing.

The question is when have our bad feeling ever not come back to bite us. Here's a short list.
- Drafting Jason Campbell in the first round of the 2005 draft
- Promoting Vinny to EXVPOFO
- Not hiring Gregg Williams
- Hiring Zorn
- Drafting 3 pass catchers in the 2nd round
- Not fixing the O-Line
- Signing Haynesworth to a $100 million contract
- Bringing Zorn back
- Hiring Haslet
- Switching to the 3-4
- Not resigning Red Snapper and Hunter the Punter
I've started to learn to trust the bad first impression. In fact the only bad first impression that I can think of that turned out to be completely wrong was drafting Trent Williams. Can anyone else think of an example of bad first impression that turned out to be overblown (ie when we rejected the null)?
This team seems like that Tom Hanks movie MONEYPIT. In all honesty, I think SNyder/Cerrato/Zorn and even small issues prior zorn- has set the team back years, add onto ANOTHER new coach/off and def cord and need to fill team with personel and we are looking at another couple of years to rebuild. Nothing is gained from chaos. What the team needs is no more bone head FA players/coaches, time to solidify, good drafts, and players who want to be in the system.

With Philly coming up this was a trap game, no doubt. And boy did we get trapped.
True, but good teams win these games.

Yay! Hunter the Punter!
A ray of sunshine on a cloudy day...
Now let's ditch Sundberg.

I am baffled how anyone can be a member of a board like this and not be clear on who our punter and long snapper is. I have seen at least two people completely whiff on our long snapper so far in less than 30 posts. Hell, it was sort of a big deal early in camp when he was sucking. Where were you all? Sundberg is our LS.

yeah and even good teams lay an egg sometimes, it happens
