Which means they'll pull it out somehow.

We can only hope.

Even more sad than that, is that we STILL have a chance

I have NEVER been this unenthusiatic about a Redskins game, and that includes year 2 of Jim Zorn, and year 2 of Steve Spurrier. Just Sick of the inconsistency of this team. Just seems like no matter what players we both put out there, it is the same damn result. Offense plays great = Defense sucks, defense plays well = offense sucks, offense and defense plays well = special teams gives up 400 yards in returns to some slow pile of crap. Just Sick of the same bullshit every Sunday.

I'm pretty sure I'll never see a Redskins Super Bowl in my lifetime. And yeahhh I know they won in the 90's but I was like 6, I couldn't enjoy that! I mean I could've but I was a 6 year old girl, I didn't care then. lol

I picked the same score on the first page! Maybe it's fate lol.

London Fletcher needs to be either benched or cut at this point. With 1 tackle last week and another prime RB coming up on the schedule, I don't see good things. It burns me up we re-signed a old ass vet when there were cheaper and better options out there.

Mike has apparently lost his balls at some point. He talks about competition, yet continues to allow this farce to go on with Fletch. Fuck the sentimental shit, we need to win some games and London isn't getting it done.

Yeah, but damn you remember his last December? Defensive Player of Month, he beasted everybody.

We'll see if he kicks it up a notch next month, I don't expect him to. Dude looks slow evaluating play development and making decisions about where to be.

And don't ask him to cover a TE...

I can tell his heart is still in the game but I think his skills are taking a downward turn.

I keep hoping every game he makes me eat some crow but... Still waiting.

I reject the notion, however, that Nick Barnett and Perry Riley would "get it done" under any definition. The whole position is a weak point on this team, much like it was in 2006. When we fixed the issue by signing London Fletcher.

Really not trying to challenge you because I bet you, Matty, SS, etc. could list alternatives to resigning Fletch, I'm just curious. Who could we have gotten?

I'm someone who thinks Fletch should've been gone, but I don't think we have an alternative at this point. Its late in the season, we're going to and we should ride him out.

But to play devil's advocate; here are the available FA ILBs. I don't know much about these players but is there anyone on there that you all think would be capable enough to replace Fletcher?

Dan Connor
Takeo Spikes
Bradie James
Jonathan Goff
Barrett Ruud
Demorrio Williams (WLB in 4-3/ILB in 3-4)
Kirk Morrison
Tim Dobbins
Gary Guyton
Jamar Chaney (SLB in 4-3)
Niko Koutouvides
Mike Peterson (SLB)
Tim Shaw
Brandon Siler
Tavares Gooden
A.J. Edds
Brendon Ayanbadejo
Ricky Brown
Keyaron Fox
Travis Goethel
Tyrone McKenzie
Leon Williams
Kenny Onatolu (OLB in 4-3)
Brandon Johnson
Doug Hogue
L.J. Fort
D.J. Smith
Ryan Rau
Phillip Dillard
Greg Lloyd

Spikes and Lloyd, lol no they couldn't replace Fletch. Impressed by the amount of other players you found, I don't know who could have replaced London but interested to hear who.
