whodat Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 God Bless yea Ralph. You've done so much for our community. I'll take our status quo over Denver and Washington any day. They can have Shanahan, McDaniels or some other flashy upstart or rising star. I'll take our situation of Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey. Although I might say those franchises are cultivating an interesting sense of humor, I'm glad they're winning the laughing matter contest. Eric Studsville our former rb coach is now guiding The Broncs. Good luck for him. And a tip of the hat for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I get it, the old "disparage and malign" someone else's team trick to deflect attention from your team... or better yet, make you feel so much better. because they are so much worse. Just a guess, but fans in Denver and Washington probably think your team is a joke... and if they do, you couldn't blame them for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDaniels made that team a mess and Shanahan is looking like a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brenty Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 i had a hardcore dolphin fan, and a broncos fan saying they rather be a bills fan right now (ya it was a joke) but they are embarrassed by their teams, and they see how much people still love the bills with a crappy record.

flopagamo Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 God Bless yea Ralph. You've done so much for our community. I'll take our status quo over Denver and Washington any day. They can have Shanahan, McDaniels or some other flashy upstart or rising star. I'll take our situation of Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey. Although I might say those franchises are cultivating an interesting sense of humor, I'm glad they're winning the laughing matter contest. I'm in northern VA, so I get a lot of Skins coverage here... and despite recent problems, I think the Skins will pull through because they finally have accomplished football people calling the football shots (Dan Snyder appears to have been shoved back into his owner's box, by all appearances). They're investing in their O-line, and they will probably get out of their McNabb deal within a year or two. Allen & Shanahan inherited the Haynesworth mess and will likely find a way out at year's end. I think the difference lies in expectations. Because of the noise the Skins make (due to their annoying owner, who is a marketing guy above all else), and because of the players they draw (again due to their annoying owner, who has overspent on veterans for a decade), people expect them to improve. They are definitely a better team than a year ago, though. But, like many here, I think Shanahan is overrated... but he's not a bad football coach either. One thing I do like out of Snyder -- he has been a Skins fan since birth, and he wants his team to win with all his guts, and his wallet. By all appearances, the same cannot be said of Ralph. Two final thoughts: 1) Despite the W/L record, I think Nix & Gailey have earned a lot of respect, and I think they can get this thing turned around with a couple good drafts. Despite the losses, they seem to be making some progress in the culture, as weird as that sounds. A few more games like Sunday's loss to the Vikes, however, and they could lose the troops. 2) I absolutely hate being in the Redskins' market.

Actually, they just fired McDaniels--midseason, after an abysmal performance of less than 2 seasons. Contrast that with RW's resigning the status quo that was DJ despite 3 crappy seasons.

Bob in STL Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Seems like all of the original AFL Foolish Club members are losing it. PTR ? Not sure what you are talking about? Ralph and Bid Adams are the the only ones left from the Foolish Club. Ralph is the only one to stay put and not sell. Lamar Hunt started the AFL and owned the AFL's Dallas Texans (now the Kansas City Chiefs), while the Houston Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans) were Bud Adams' franchise. The other six members of the "Original Eight" were Harry Wismer (the Titans of New York, now the New York Jets), Bob Howsam (Denver Broncos), Barron Hilton (Los Angeles Chargers, now the San Diego Chargers), Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. (Buffalo Bills), Billy Sullivan (Boston Patriots, now the New England Patriots), and Chet Soda (in a group of eight) (Oakland Raiders).

Contrast that with RW's resigning the status quo that was DJ despite 3 crappy seasons. On the day Shanahan was fired in Denver no less. Talk about an owner who wants a winner. Bowlen may not be well, but he's not worried about financial considerations in the face of a lockout. Denver's a mess, McDaniels is an imperious youth, but the pocket book isn't Bowlen's primary concern like it is for RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodat Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) I get it, the old "disparage and malign" someone else's team trick to deflect attention from your team... or better yet, make you feel so much better. because they are so much worse. Just a guess, but fans in Denver and Washington probably think your team is a joke... and if they do, you couldn't blame them for that. Thanks Dr. Trooth for exposing the trooth of the matter. I was wondering where all that joy I was feeling was coming from. Now I know I owe it all to Dan Synder. I muse that he can pay Shanahan 60 or 70 mil to watch him bench his 100 mil recent sign dt. Then watch his new team come together and fall apart. That firing itch I bet is already starting to burn in Snyder’s craw and I can hardly wait until I feel the wondrous joy of that final act too. But in the mean time as we march towards victory next year if thinking that their’s is not as bad as our’s gives those fans a momentary reprieve from the utter madness it must seem to be a Redskin fan than I will deem it a worthy charitable cause.
