With Snyderato's current formula, the best we can ever hope for is a 9-10 win season that results in a wild card, and an early exit from the post-season. I don't see a long range plan for success when we continually trade draft picks for aging vets, as if we are only a player away from championship caliber. Snyder is delusional in his belief that we are on the cusp of anything great with this formula.

Outstanding post.

Our old and expensive team did not make the playoffs. These are three very bad things for a professional team when they come together.

The Redskins are at a very important cross in the road. The decisions the FO make this offseason can handcuff the team for years to come. We are in the unenviable position of having few draft picks and being millions over next years salary cap. The team might be tempted to trade future picks for 2009 picks. They might be tempted to extend and back load contracts of older players.
This is a very interesting offseason.
