I guess Snyder is putting the stadium before winning, and the fan base. Ya know, the people he’ll need to fill those seats. How about he focuses on winning a FUCKING playoff game.

He’s selling a product, and the following of that product is eroding. Quickly. He’s obviously not putting the priority of bringing the fans back and truly improving the brand FIRST.

This season will be the 15 season in Dan’s 20 years that the Redskins don’t make the playoffs. The Redskins haven’t won more than 11 games in a season since 1991.

Entering their final home game of the season, on Sunday against the Eagles, Washington averaged fewer than 61,000 fans, 27th in the N.F.L. FedEx Field has been only 74 percent full this season, the lowest percentage in the league. Fans aren’t particularly motivated to watch at home, either: The team’s local television rating ranks 22nd in the league.

“The fan base is just worn down, frustrated, completely fed up with the front office,” said Eric Bickel, a longtime fan and host of the “Sports Junkies” morning radio show in the area. “This was once a proud, heritage-filled franchise. There is a large percentage of the population here that has no experience with that.”

So he can keep Bruce, but the consequences will only grow worse.

If Bruce is removed from football operations he will have no impact on the teams ability to win.

As far as the fan base wanting Bruce’s he’s on a Spike, it’s never a good decision to cave into the mob. Snyder needs to make decisions that are best for both the team and the stadium deal. Letting Bruce go completely is a bad idea.

What's crucial to the stadium deal is winning, not Bruce Allen.

What I just said too. Fuck the stadium. How about a playoff win. Ya know, since they haven’t had one since 2005. That’s only 14 years ago...

What about the coaching staff? If you could do anything?

Keep Jay, I wouldn't let him hire another DC though and I'd go hard after Todd Bowles if the Jets can him. I have a feeling Callahan moves on so we'll need a new OL coach.

If Jay stays he HAS to get a GOOD play caller, and I’d promote Tomsula to DC

I'd look for talent outside our own staff to get a DC... OC .... HC ... All C's... Including C level execs lol

Couldn't agree more.

Bowles is smart and has a track record of adapting to his personnel, the exact opposite of Callahan.

We didnt run with a fullback until a week ago because Callahan's scheme was a single back. Nevermind Flanagan was the first TE who blocked effectively in the last 3 to 4 years.

I also read he is a micro manager who was dominated by details in Oakland. Cooley said last year we had some crazy number of run schemes, I want to say double digits.

We should do 4 to 6 well instead of a dozen where nobody knows their assignment.

Time for Callahan to go!

Not sure I buy into BA being 100% irreplaceable as far as the new stadium deal is concerned. I mean, grown up people would lose a multi millions (is it billions?) dollars contract because the team president changed ?

not only that, but any new stadium is years off. Those who are saying he is irreplaceable because of it are basically saying he is going to be here for 10 more years. That's not the way business works anywhere.

This has been the norm for the last almost 20 years. Anybody who has tried to come into this organization to help improve it has been put through the "Snyder Grinder" and then spit out. The situation with this team isn't going to change as long as Snyder is here.
