No question about that, but you could say that about coaches and players too. Most times fans don't have the full picture and I certainly don't claim to. That's why I have my questions about Allen’s degree of involvement. How much should he be on the hook for some of this mess we find ourselves...
As recently as three weeks ago I was in the Scenario One camp. Well actually the 1a camp. I wanted Shanny to remain but I wanted to see the GM/Owner insist that certain changes to the coaching staff be made; Defense and Special Teams. I’ve changed my mind.
Why? Well, honestly I don’t think...
I figured since I don't think Gruden is the guy for the job allow me to give you a link to a piece that summed it up better than I ever could.

I agree El. A few weeks back when the team seemed like they were playing better I was in the "give it some more time" camp. I'm not in that camp anymore. I don't even think I could be swayed by anything that happens from here out.
To your point Shanny has an ego and is not going to get rid of...
I was in an argument with a guy at work who is a fan from another team that will remain nameless. He was trying to tell me how much progress our team had made in the last few years under Shanny. I told him that there were some things I liked about our progress and some things I didn’t. After our...

As much as I loved 28 as a player his opinion on this subject is worth the same mine, Zilch. How often is he even around this team anyway? Every team near the bottom of the league could be accused of a lack of leadership. So RGIII and Fletcher...
I'd pass. It's debatable how much he has left in the tank and in the past several seasons he hasn't been able to stay healthy anyway. A bad team with a good defense just said not only did they not value his play on the field but didn't like his attitude either. We want that? He's not going to...
There’s what I think will happen and what I want to see happen.
What I think will happen is Mike will get a 2-3 year extension. Kyle will stay right where he is for now. Defense is a little trickier. I can’t read the tea leaves there yet. I think Dan may insist on making some changes if the...
Excuse the long post.
When I started following the team back in the 70’s they were the team of “old guys” who could still get it done. I didn’t relate to that dynamic quite like I could now, but still I loved them. That team never got over the hump but they were easy to root for because you...
I think Wade Phillips would be a perfect guy to run a 3-4 defense. I'm too lazy to pull the numbers right now but I have in the past (trust me). Everywhere he goes as a coordinator the defense improves.
We all bitched about Danny Smith last season and the special teams look horrible again this...
We can all see that RGIII isn’t right. That the qualities that made him exceptional last season have not returned to him yet. I think the idea of benching him at this stage doesn’t make too much sense, not yet at least. Talk to me in a couple of weeks.
Let’s say we bench RGIII. What are the...
10-6 (or better)
We have some issues but every other team does too. Do I expect us to burn through the season like a wildfire? No, but I expect other teams to have a different level of respect for this team than they have in the past dozen years or so. If we're healthy come the end of the...
I wonder how badly he'd like to be able to edit that column even a little bit at this point in the young season? Guess we'll see. This guy wants to bet on the Eagles to be great with a new offensive scheme, new defensive scheme and pretty much the same roster that won 4 ball games last season...
I hate every team we play on that given Sunday (seriously….) but I have a few teams that I root against in every game they play regardless of opponent. Dallas used to top the list but in the last couple of seasons the Giants have taken over the top spot. How long can they hold the top spot? Only...

Well, I've got some good news and some bad news.
The good: The (nearly) completed facility looks fantastic. The two fields look practice ready and the support facility looks top notch (from the outside). A buddy and I walked around the outside of fence by the street entrance and there were a...
The new facility is 5-10 minutes away from where I work. I didn't go to the grand opening yesterday but I've been by a few times to check progress. Looks very impressive. Only problem I see is parking and traffic. I've read there is going to be parking at City Stadium and a shuttle for $7 and...
