Random Commanders Thoughts

Tickets are cheap now. You will be surrounded by Eagles fans big time. It will be brutally nasty. Very nasty.

I've been to at least 4 Eagles games, and they do turn out and get nasty. But if I'm in dream Seats with a security guard with me, I'll be just fine.

Dissenters shall be silenced !

So that team was hired to find out why the fans and corporate tickets holders were unhappy and fix it, then Brian goes to Farquad with their complaints and is summarily dismissed. Makes sense.

This team is ****ed.

 

[Boone]

So, here's the thing. In my best Allen Iverson voice...

'We talkin' about Public Relations - not a game...not football. We talkin' about Public Relations!'

I guess the ax-ing of our latest set of PR gurus is dysfunctional, like just about everything else we do. But other than being upset it fits the modus operandi of Hitler and the SS, does it really matter? If Jesus Christ himself returned to Earth to manage Redskins PR, he couldn't make this team popular and well-liked again. It's just not happening.

I'm a little surprised at all of the uproar. These guys are just a bunch of corporate PR weiners. Why should I or any other Skins fan give a rat's ass if they got canned or not? People are actually posting things on social media like these guys were going to 'fix the organization'. For God's sake - they were PR execs. They weren't going to fix anything. I really don't care. But maybe I'm just so jaded at this point my filters and judgment are terminally broken.

 

[DieselPwr44]

We're all broken at this point Boone.

Pass the bottle, will ya?

This move is a direct sign of Bruce ensuring and cementing his status in the organization. The people calling for his head, essentially, all quit, were fired or RUMINT stated were fired when there was word of a resignation.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

No, they weren't going to fix it. Not at all. But it was a step in the right direction - only a step. Or so we thought.

Now we know that Bruce is a coward who hides behind the PR people and he wants them to make him look good. Ditto Dan Snyder. Doug Williams takes the blame and teflon Bruce along with teflon Dan have no worries.

The next scapegoats will be known by Monday.

I won't see another consistent winner with the Redskins in my lifetime as Dan is younger than me. He'll never grow up and will always be the eight year old boy who throws a temper tantrum in aisle three in the supermarket when things don't go his way. Bruce will pick him up and tell Dan that he is a good boy and buy him an ice cream cone.

Yes, Bruce is Vinny, Part II. There will be a Vinny, Part III and so on. For those of us who are older, at least we have the early eighties to early nineties. For those of you who are younger, there may come a day when you get a competent owner who possesses actual people and leadership skills.

Yeah - I get it. I just don't care anymore. Bruce Allen was never going to be fired because new PR execs objected to some of his decisions (I suspect that's all they did). If you're a new PR Exec, and you believe you have the juice to make that happen - well, you're just plain naive or stupid or both. Personally, I think the entire PR department needed to be fired - have you actually read the official Redskins Twitter account posts...lol? Fans demanding his firing on Twitter aren't going to get him fired either. I believe Snyder, at this point, may keep Allen around forever just to SPITE everyone calling for his head. Ultimately, even if Allen were fired, do you really think Snyder is going to bring in someone who is going to be independent and effective?

I don't see how any of us could believe that at this point.

We're pretty much effed forever

Is that to say you expect a coach, or coaches to be fired ?
Personally, I don't see any of the "major" or "name coaches" fired this offseason, for various reasons.

 

[Fear The Spear]

Weren't at least 1 or 2 of these guys that they fired, thought to be originally hired for new stadium negotiations ?
If so, could that be the reason they were fired, as well ?

 

[fansince62]

Crazy and apparently unable to do math... 28 years LOL!!!

harumpph! Getting older I guess (memory lapses) - and had to visit the dentist as well today.

Good catch (you know it irks me no end to make a mistake like that so publicly!!!). lol!

man-o-man that is the most negative post I have read from you in a long while. have a whiskey on me bro!

I know a lot of life-long Redskin fans who are slowly backing out. The first move is no longer purchasing season tickets that had been in the family across a generation or two. DS may not realize how disenfrachised/disenchanted his fanbase has become.

 

[fansince62]

It's surprising that those 2 would go together ?

What can I say? I attended public schools!

If this is the case - then this is all about politics/political correctness and I don't give a rat's xxx one way or the other.

It should be apparent to some by now that in the larger landscape of ideology, the Skins are in the crosshairs. That, afterall, is what the Crapperdick (thank you Axe!) conversation the last few weeks (including Galdi's false front) was really all about.

Allen will be gone sooner or later if the losing/mediocrity continues. DS? sigh.

 

[Win4us]

If a new GM isn't named early in this off season, Snyder's gonna have a biblical level ticket sales revolt.

I"m hoping this is the beginning of a complete house cleaning and we already have somebody in place, but on the down low.

 

[McD5]

I really think we're screwed.

Dan has three kids. The youngest is ten years old. He's never going to sell the team.

In the meantime, he'll just hire another Vinny or Bruce and nothing is likely to change.

Our only hope is that he gets caught saying something incredibly racist on tape and that he's forced out of the league. That's really where we're at right now.
