Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Great. I think come playoff time everything should be normal. If not who cares about the Super Bowl honestly. They should change the start time of the season to early December. Play a 12 game 13 week season vs only conference opponents. Regular season runs through early March. Super Bowl in mid April. Free agency in May. Draft in June. No OTAs, no mandatory mini camps or offseason programs. Start training camp normal late July or early August next year. There, that was easy enough. TV contract people can figure it all out. March and April are dead months for sports. They'll easily fit in NFL. Edited April 22, 2020 by Buffalo_Stampede
Sherman Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Regardless of how you win, once you win they can never take it away from you.
Rc2catch Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Shortened or not a championship is a championship. Pro football is pro football. It won’t matter who wins it counts. That said I’ll take it however they can win it
Captain Murica Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Happy as a pig in *****. LeBron won his first championship in a shortened NBA season. That rarely gets brought up. It’s not a big deal at all. It would be material for the trolls but would become redundant after a few days.
without a drought Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 If they win in a shortened season, it'll be great If they miss the playoffs in a shortened season, it doesn't really count
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 grrrrrrrrreeeeeaaat! says Tony the Tiger.
batmanfreek Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 We would take the win. Everyone else would throw shade our way like always and we’d take it and still celebrate. Nothing comes easy our way. Let our children’s children worry about winning one in a full season.
eball Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Like we won the mother f***ing Super Bowl. Next question. 1

The 1982 season was a shortened 9 game season and I always wondered how the Redskins fans felt about that. I would be happy but I do think it would feel sort of empty. What would you all think? Why are we the only team with a shortened schedule?
Chandler#81 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Every year ?♂️. Every STINKIN’ Year!? This thread gets resurrected from the Orchard Park Indian burial site like it’s the 2nd coming. No coincidence it’s typically near Easter, either..? Every year, the same Rasputin zombies (myself included) crawl out of the ground staggering aimlessly, wailing ghoulishly “It’s TAINTED!”.. As stated hundreds of times, including here, there have been many championships awarded in shortened seasons and many more in the years preceding the addition of multiple regular season games -in all sports. Newsflash: none of the trophies contain an asterisk (*). (tap bar) https://i.gifer.com/Wtfn.gif 2
Thurman#1 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Just fine. That Fins win in the shortened season you talked about? I was living in Rosslyn, just across the bridge from Georgetown that year. I jogged over the bridge and the fans were going absolutely fricking insane. Traffic was stopped on M Street and every single car was hammering on the horns while fans on the sidewalks jumped up on hoods and danced and nobody in the cars minded. They didn't mind one tiny little bit that it was a shortened season. Then or now. That one that was really close in the 4th quarter with the Fins ahead 17-3 and 10:10 remaining in the 4th and Washington goes for it on 4th and one, and everyone knows it's going to Riggins and it does and Miami packs the box and when Riggins busts through the line there's nobody left between him and the goal and he sprints 43 yards for a TD, and Washington goes on to win? Any football fan older than about five years old at that point does. It was a terrific game. How many remember that Washington had gone 8-1 that year in a shortened season? Not many. How many Washington fans care? Basically none do. That Riggins run is one of the franchise's iconic moments, still played on local TV again and again and again. Edited April 22, 2020 by Thurman#1 1
MJS Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Depends. Does Josh Allen throw for 300+ yards in said Superbowl win and complete at least 75% of his deep passes? 1

The Redskins also won it in 1987, another strike-shortened season, with a different QB. And they won the SB in 1991 too, with yet another QB. I'd say they felt prettty good about their seasons. Does anyone question the legitamacy of their 1982 and 1987 titles? Nope. Edited April 22, 2020 by The Fiend

Great! No apologies at all. In a shortened season all teams have the same chance. Empty, not at all. Bring it on!
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 I think in 2028, after our 6th SB win in 8 years, no one is going to question the legitimacy of 'The Covid Years'.
