Biggest Letdown yet?

HermosaBeach Skin Fan · 03-02-2006, 04:46 PM

Have you noticed that over the past 10 years the Skins have consistenly gotten everyone excited about the team then the bubble bursts and we loyal skin fans are left frusterated and saying to ourselves, "next year will be the year"?

Whether it be a new owner, signing high profile players or brining in new coaches, we always seem to think that this could be the year.

Seeing the Skins in the playoffs was a great thing, but have they again gotten everyone in the mindset that next year could be the year? Could this be the biggest letdown yet coming down the pike? With some real success under their belts and legit optimisim for the upcoming season, the CBA could be the determining factor that crushes the hopes and dreams of the Burgundy and Gold.

Seems that due to the CBA, this upcoming year could be the biggest letdown of all. The team seems to finally have gelled, and now it's broken up over some retarded league rules.

Will this be the paramount example of the illusion of the Skins having some momentum, only be be brought back down to earth? Were the playoffs last year a fluke?

maybe. everyone thought the deal would get down though, and if it had we would have been fine. Next year (2007) will be a legit shot for a SB, after that, with labor unrest, its one big haze.

I have to say that the Redskins,Gibbs and the Danny may have seen this coming a year ago. Trading away a first round pick when in 06 it will be Very hard to get a deal made with any free agent much less a draft pick. I believe in my heart this day was coming sooner then later as the Redskins were headed for cap hell! Now we take a hit one year and right the ship. We should be thanking Upshaw!!!
