#1 - firing Norv in the middle of a possible play off run

#2 - letting Brian Mitchell go to Philly + the D. Sanders signing

#3 - Firing of Marty and re-hiring of My Cousin Vinny

#4 - Trading Champ for Portis - (I love Portis....but honesty someone of Champs ability doesn't come around every year, and really when you think about it, has Portis really put up superior #'s....NO, hasn't come close to rushing titles, doesn't have that break away speed anymore)

#5 - Allowing Antonio Pierce to walk. It took us how many years to get a good replacement, and he will be gone in a year due to age and decline in play. Pierce was a beast, true professional, and worked harder in the film room than anyone on that team and it showed on the field. He was a REDSKIN..

I guess # 5 could be a combination of things, but the overall statement would be " Letting Redskins go for the bigger name and overpaying"
