And why the hell didn't Rex throw the ball away on that play before the FG instead of losing a couple of yards? Dumb play.
Terrible play calling before the FG kick, not that I am defending Gano, but the team didn't seem as though they were trying to put themselves in a better position to kick the field goal.

well your basically making my point,your admitting from the get go gano sucks so why are you defending this guy? Im not blaming this loss solely on gano but the simple fact is he makes those 2 very makeable kicks we win!
He's shown us he can do it by nailing the 59 yarder at home,so whats shanahan sposed to do? Its not like it was out of his range,but like YOU SAID,we cant even trust him to make a 40 yarder,thats why he has to go and he's the goat.Again,not blaming him solely for this loss and just because we have other needs doesnt mean we should let gano have a free pass which it seems you want to do
I can understand Beck needing to go with his lack of playing abiblity, Grossman going for his (atleast) 2 INT's a game, Stallworth although yesterday was his best day all year, Brown cause he really doesn't block, Torain because he must be a one year wonder, ....etc, etc.
But the kicker? I'm not defending him I'm just saying he has a bad game and he should go. The whole team should go then cause they all have had bad days and some have had more then their share.
No body dare's to mention Davis. Mrs. Fumbles. Mr. I can't catch a cold lately. Mr. let me tip the ball for the opponants. Mr. I'll let the Safety go after the ball. It's no wonder why the team doesn't want to get rid of Cooley.

Why don't you go on out there and pitch a tent and sleep there for a few weeks. You will probably be joined by a few homeless people and that should really get Snyders attention.

Does Landover have any good brewpubs?
Not sure about Landover but there is a DogFish that I have been to a few times when I visit my sister in Gaithersburg

The chances of getting Skins' fans to revolt against the ownership here are virtually nil but if anyone is interested in seeing how something like this can work, they need to study what LA Dodger fans did to the owner out there.
Ticket sales dropped about 20% over a two year period and fans with tickets stayed home - - did not sell tickets to others - - so that stadium revenue from parking/concessions etc went waaaay down. Then there was a boycott on Dodgers' gear and paraphranalia.
The owner was involved in a hugely messy and expensive divorce action and the decline in revenues made the banks that were providing loans to him to fund the cash-flow for the team very nervous. The banks pulled funding and MLB had to step in.
Danny Boy has no such obvious vulnerability - - although Six Flags and Johnny Rockets are hardly licenses to print money - - so even a concerted economic effort would probably not work. And even if he were vulnerable, too many Skins' fans are Skins' fans only because it is socially important to one's status in the DC area to be seen as a Skins' fan.
Oh, and by the way, if you are going to "OCCUPY" anything, why not OCCUPY ASHBURN. The team and the owner and all those folks are in Ashburn a whole hell of a lot more time than they are in Landover - - usually 10 days a year.

I just wanted to say Gano sucks. He is like the Rex Grossman of kickers. Also, now is the time to support the Redskins. They have completely overhauled their roster, have kept their draft chioces and have stock piled a few extra. This is the way a good team is built. They need to come away with a good QB, and this team will be successfull. Be patient, and support them.

Great post! I just want to say our kicker and our QB suck...but now is the time to support the team!!!
I'm not sure whether to blame the OP for starting a thread he should have known everyone was going to take seriously...or everyone else for taking it seriously

How 'bout you go occupy something other than a keyboard for a while...
Yeah, we are 3-7 but I would still argue that this franchise is headed in the right direction.
Ditto.
We are heading in the right direction but it's going to take a little longer that we had originally wanted or expected.
