Are we the Detroit Lions?

It is becoming painfully more obvious that we are laughed at around the league. From the way we handle the draft to the way we hire a coach to throwing cash at underachievers. Yet, we still sell out every game and the fan base grows. Almost every city in the country has an official Redskins fan club. The owner tries hard to win a championship (despite his failings) and will spend money. The fans care. The team has legacy and a strong history.
What's wrong?
In Detroit, DC, Cleveland and Kansas City fans live for their team (among others). The average Bostonian would rather see the Sox play a day game than another SB. In NY they have so many teams in different sports it's hard to say which is biggest. But these are the SB teams?
We are Detroit now. Vinny is Matt Millen and beautiful FedEx is just like beautiful Ford Field (though they at least can get a SB hosted there).
I pray that we don't endure the gap between championships that Detroit has, but it wouldn't suprise me.
So find solace, fellow fans, there are others like us out there. Of course, we can still laugh at the Texans. For now.

Re: Are we the Detroit Lions?

Over the past 15 years the Skins are closer to being the Lions & Cards than they are to being the Cowboys & Pats.

Nobody (except for the Kool-Aid drinkers on this site) sees the Skins as an elite team anymore. They are seen as a disorganized mess where underachieving players go to get paid.

Why lump the Cowboys in with the Pats?

What does Jerry Jones do that Dan Snyder doesn't? More importantly, what does Jones do that Belichick/Pioli also do?

Yeah seriously.

When was the last time Dallas won a playoff game??

Here's the kicker, even the lowly Redskins have won one more recently.
