That gives us the second pick and I think its the most likely outcome of all. Trevor Semian is god awful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappy Mc Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 We made it! Here's to Ron's tenure ending in historically bad fashion and he gets the thanks he deserves when shown the door. #FireRonRivera 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony7188 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I was born and raised in the DMV. All my life, Washington fans told me that beating Dallas was all that mattered. It didn't matter if Washington went 2-14, as long as the 2 wins were against the Dallas Cowboys. It was etched in stone, because the rivalry was so fierce. Winning one game vs. Dallas was acceptable, but getting swept was out of the question. "We want Dallas to beat us, so we get the 2nd pick?" I never thought I would see those words from Washington fans. RR is as good as gone already, so where's the hype?

It's time to find the future so that we can beat you twice in a season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Dan Snyder own your team for 20 years then get back with us. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a QB who gives us a chance to beat you every time we step on the field. Losing gets us one step closer to that potentially. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought I would see those words from Washington fans. RR is as good as gone already, so where's the hype? That was sort of an easy position for Redskins fans to take back then, when we traded away all our draft picks. If I knew we were just going to give our picks away for whatever veteran players we could get, I probably wouldn’t give much of a rat’s *** about where the picks landed either. All things being equal, I’d still much rather beat Dallas. But as my Commrades have pointed out, all things are not equal. Dan Snyder sucked the life force out of this franchise, and out of this fan base. If you’re familiar with Maslow or his concept of the “hierarchy of needs” (or the very related “food pyramid”), we Washington fans are on the very bottom level. We’ve been so long without the absolute basics that we can’t possibly spend any time worrying about higher end things like rivalry games. Those are a luxury, meant for other fanbases. We just need some wins, a decent season, a GM or coach or QB (or God forbid, all three) that we believe could win something serious one day. We’re the football fan equivalent of the hungry homeless man — he’s just dreaming about food and a roof, he’s not concerned with the stock market or finding true love or the status of his driver’s license. Perhaps one day, we’ll have those things again, and we’ll start to care once more about stuff like cutting off our nose to spite Dallas’s face. Right now, the only thing any of us cares about is getting a new FO in place and giving them as much ammunition to try to resurrect this franchise as humanly possible. That’s the only thing we have left to hope on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s about the right thought for how things are going right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT14 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 According to that, we are HARD on New Orleans. There is only one scenario where NE could jump back ahead of us if New Orleans wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
