Well SS you know I'm a 13 yr. survivor, though thankfully I remain in remission I have both good and bad days. Sometimes I feel the affects of the treatment is almost as bad as the disease itself.
We have a great many healthy young people here who still [hopefully] have a long time to wait for the Redskins to get better, unfortunately for me, I've already cashed in my thirty year plan more than twice, so seeing this team get better sooner rather than later ls the only remaining option I have.
God bless you man. Far more important things in life than whether the Skins win or lose on Sunday

Good read and all true. Boy!! how I envy teams like Philly, the Giants and NE, teams that know how to build and are never far from contention.
There's confidence among many that the Redskins are on the right track with this new outfit in town. I've been down this road so many times before that I've developed an attitude. That attitude suggests that despite the optimism, prove it, to do that is going to take something I may not have a lot of left. Thirteen weeks has been much too long to allow this AH saga to continue, the sad part is he will continue to be in the news for the remainder of this season and possibly into the next. It's a real sad state of affairs.
OK . I will give you this, Philly, NE, and NY are looking good now. There was a time and place when these teams were poison and they were on the verge of going to another city (NE). All I know is that once we win again it will be a beautiful thing. We will win AGAIN.
LONGTIMEFAN... don't give up. My father gave up, I've been hurting ever since. I don't know what your status is now, just know that you will always be my Brother in this thing we call the Redskin Nation.

Sorry for the double post but......thank you warpaint and you too tdSKINS for your words of hope and inspiration. Believe me guys, I'll never give up, I didn't give up in 1997 when I was given four months to live and I'm not about too now. I just want to see the Redskins get back to that level of respectability where I can be as proud of them as I once was.
td i'll pm you.

^^With the article mentioned above, it does bring up an interesting point; with McDaniels fired, more of Shanahan's players who fit both his and McDaniel's system could become available now.Example:
Guard Kris Kuper
I thought that was a good point too. How bout this one: Champ Bailey!
He may be next year's Phillip Buchanan, our 3rd corner (assuming we either keep Rogers or Barnes can earn a starting job).
Jason Garrett is going his stroke his damn red-headed ego like the chump backup he was and try to run the score up on us. I suspect he deliberately ousted Tubby so he could get the keys to the car, and now wants to make a big name for himself and landed the job he wants. And the sad thing is, I think he's going to be successful as we still haven't scored an offensive touchdown against them in ages and those ****ing Cowboys are playing better. Tashard Choice is their best RB and would run all over us....
Not sure what that has to do with this thread but...
I don't buy that JG tanked the offense on purpose. If Wade doesn't get fired during the season, JG could have been fired after the season right along with Wade if Jerry decided to clean house.

Dan Daly has been covering the NFL and the Redskins more specifically for about 25 years.
This column is interesting reading...

There was some speculation to that effect....

I have some issues with shanny but the bottom line is Albert showed disrespect to the team in the spring and in july when he came to camp overweight.
