Exactly. People keep talking about Cowher but why in the hell would he come here and work for an owner like Snyder? I doubt it's going to happen.

And I thought my jokes were bad!!! As you know, madness, only takes a push!!! Geez, it looks like these Skins want to make their fans mad. Hate to say it fellas, but these guys are becoming a mirror image of the Lions. Another team that has a business guy at the helm by the way. This game was a sick joke of unbelievable proportions. 7-9 here we come!!!!!!!

Dude, just root for the Lions. They're still playing for something.

Amen...I'm pissed, I'm frustrated, and I'm despondent. However, I'm still going to go the the game next Sunday and root my brains out...

I like it. It seems like everyone on this board is ready to jump ship. I'll be watching this season out, next season, and probably until the NFL does not exist.

Is it a character flaw or Klingon loyalty? No matter how I feel, I will always root for the Burgandy and Gold...

I'm starting to believe that the native americans who put a curse on this team have been very effective...

A lot of it's the home field advantage that they have, which explains the Ravens, Seahawks, and Bengals slow starts.

We always seem to overcome those starts though and play just fine. Problem comes when we earn a touchdown, or at least a short shot at a touchdown, and it's taken away from us because the zebras don't know what "forward progress" is.

Passing offense, Campbell especially, but the protection as well was pretty good today. Run blocking was not great, and I'm afraid that's how it is going to be the rest of the year.

Defense has no excuse though for giving up 17 points in the first quarter AND not getting them off the field in the second half. Blache needs to go. He's awful.

If they have to clean house on the coaching staff, then they have to do what they have to do. But until someone else is drawing up the defensive gameplan, I think we will never produce a better defense than this one.

I would actually clean all the defensive coaches, just because I think they have such a jaded idea of what the problems are, that any solutions that these guys come up with are only going to hurt us in the future.

Campbell's impressive. He's just not getting any help from people who aren't Mike Sellers.

The team has multiple problems. To blame it on only Jim Zorn or Campbell is unfair. Each year you have people that do well and exceed expectiations. HELL! Spurrier got 2 years and his game plans and techniques were way worse than this.

THe organization itself is doomed unless changes are made at the top down. Snyder isn't selling the team anytime soon so the only thing that will change is the HC and QB. Cerrato needs to take a hike and they obviously need better scouts. Gibbs should have never been rehired in hindsight, his second tenure took away from the hiring of a decent HC that could have been around for the long haul and restored the franchise with a long term plan. Gibbs calling it quits with one year left obviously took Snyder by surprise so we got who we have now as a result of desperation. No way Cowher comes to Washington now as the franchise is in shambles and is fast becoming a joke almost as bad as the Lions. Unless the Danny relinquishes his power over the day to day operations over the team, the Skins will always be average to mediocre.
7-9 here we come. Makes me miss the early Norv years to be honest!!!!!!

No I am a Skins fan all the way!!! I root for them and not jumping ship. Why should I? Thing is this team has been in a constant tailspin since they canned Marty. It is maddening how a team that is as talented as ours is playing so poorly. That in itself is a sick joke.

Well, we're not playing "poorly". We're getting beaten by teams we should beat because we're turning the ball over in high leverage situations, and our defensive scheme sucks. That's really the only differences between us and the elite teams...because those are the only things that are different from the beginning of the year.

You are obviously distraught. Norv's Chargers are 5-8 at this point.

Do you really want to relive that era? How bout a Frerrote head butt?

Gibbs at least restored respectability. Unfotunately it seems at this point that Zorn has destroyed that...

Cowher will take this job, becaue money talks. Snyder wanted Cowher last year. Now, he will get him. Cowher will get total control...
