Are we the Detroit Lions?

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.

LOL. I don't even think the "kool aid drinkers" see the Skins as an elite team.

And what makes the Cowboys so much better than the Skins? Why are you a fan of the Redskins? Seriously.

What makes the Cowboys better than the Skins? Since the Skins last Super Bowl win the Cowboys have won as many Super Bowls as the Skins have playoff appearances.

And they've sustained that beautifully.

Since the Cowboys last Super Bowl appearance, they haven't even won a playoff game. Thats one less than the Redskins.

Hey if you think the Skins and Cowboys are comparable teams over the past 15 years thats fine with me. I happen to think you are wrong but you can have your opinion.

We actually have two more than the cokeboys. '99 and '05. Ironically one of them was Detroit

The Cowboys run of the 90's is long over with in case you missed it. Not really relevant to today or even this decade.

The Skins haven't been an elite team in quite some time, but they certainly haven't been quite as bad as the Detroits and Arizonas of the NFL world. Last time I checked neither of those teams made the playoffs 2 of the last 3 seasons.

Actually that would be 3 of 15.

But hey why stop there, let's just keep going back 20 years, 25 years, hell even 50 years.

No as a Skins fan stuck in Detroit, we are not the Lions yet, but the events that have transpired in the last several weeks have me worried that we may be heading in that direction. We played inspired ball for 4 weeks this season, but came up short against a better team in Seattle. The emotion of losing ST let the guys play above themselves til the big dance started, where real good teams shine. If the state of the NFC wasn't so bad, we would have stayed home this season. Hiring assistants before hiring the HC will only make sense if Snyder and the FO already have their man. If not, you are putting the new HC in a box by not letting him pick his own crew and letting open the distinct possiblity that he doesn't gel with his staff. I hope that Snyder already having his man is the case, or this might be another messed up post Gibbs era. Should have kept Marty maybe.

Who really cares what "the rest of the league" is saying?

We made the playoffs and are in good shape for another run. Imagine being a Ravens fan or Bengals or Miami? We're in great shape!

but if you look at the last five years we either made the playoffs, or we had a top 10 pick. its not like we are a consistent team that is always on the verge of making the playoffs at 8-8. its like 5 wins total, or five in a row at the end to make the playoffs...

I know we made the playoffs two out of the last three years, and you cant ignore that, but I would say that we are similar to both Arizona and Detroit in that we are always the sleeper pick, or people think its out year becuase of free agents and top ten draft picks. we just were more fortunate to get big wins late in the year those two years.

what about the last 15 years? we made the playoffs three times. I wonder about those two, ill try and look it up later

Dallas Cowboys wins by year, 1997 to present:

6,10,8,5,5,5,10,6,9,9,13. Four games below .500 in that span. Zero playoff wins.

Go JJ!
