Not the same. I've been screaming for Crowder to be replaced as a PR ever since his 1st season.Play to win the game? Like keep putting a guy with 3 fumbles back in to fumble punts? Not playing to win there.

Now if they get rid of Gruden and Kirk- the spawn of Satan -Cousins(as you make him out to be)...maybe they start bottoming out and hanging with the Browns.
It's a tough one.
I would like to see the team try and win out, but not at all costs.
I wouldn't rush back Allen, wait till he's ready or we make that miracle playoff berth. I'd seriously think about shutting down Trent, at least temporarily.
The Skins really need to effect a culture change of expecting to win. I think we're close to that, but we're just not consistent enough for it to stick. We need success to change that and tanking for the draft isn't the way to do it.
Plus if we DID tank for the draft and finish the season 6-10, you can guarantee that as a fan base we'd bring it up when looking at W/L records and conveniently forget the reason why.
I think you try to win out, but you try and be smart about it. Don't put players that are hurt at unnecessary risk, and try and see what you've got in the youngsters heading into the post season and draft.
It's a fine line to tread.
Well, good thing that's not what I said.What's even more ridiculous are the fans that think losing teams can create momentum for next year by trying to win, when playing out the string.
Starting players who are not 100% isn't just about 'winning'. How about trying to ensure Kirk's head and arms are still attached at season's end?
It's not as 'simple' as some of us portray it. Decisions are tough and there are never perfect ones to be made.
And NFL coaches have to make these kinds of decisions every single week.
Why would a coach "tank" the season, and thereby jeopardize his job security ?
Well, good thing that's not what I said.
Winning, should always be the objective. There are no exceptions. Ever.
Draft position guarantees nothing. Unless you believe there's no way in hell a player with the potential of Jonathan Allen could possibly fall to the 20th slot. Or a Darrell Green to what, 28th?
Well then, there you go. Confirmation that, trying to lose, in order to improve draft position, is a ridiculously ignorant strategy. Especially since, according to you and others, the front office could have every selection in the first 4 rounds, and still fail to draft any players that can spell football. Much less play it.Well as far as Jonathan Allen is concerned, it only took what? 30 years for a game changing Dlineman to fall to us in the draft?
And Darrell Green? If you really have to reach back that far? Besides, we had a great GM,potential HOFer, making picks.
Compare that to who we have now, making those selections.
We have Bruce, who just three yrs ago,in front of the media, said that he couldn't do the GM job.
That really should give the fans the warm and fuzzies.......

You know damn well that every draft, every year, has players drafted throughout every round, that are busts/steals.
And don't forget, even "great" GM's draft Ryan Leaf's, Walter Murray's, Tory Nixon's, etc... and often trade next years 1st rounder's for them, no less.
But not all of them have the best head coach, ever, to turn their coal dust into diamonds.
Our draft failures over the years have been more a product of the HC turnover than anything else.
The correct title is, Polo.............BOOM!Horse Hockey.
False. Everybody knows this. **Even you.Our draft failure can be totally attributed to an incompetent Front Office that has been the hallmark of this franchise since Snyder took over.
Finally, some accuracy. Of course, Casserly wasn't a very good GM. But he was better than ole Bug Eyes......SLICE!One of Snyder's first moves was running Casserley out of town and saddling the team with Vinny Cerrato. Who was hired, then fired by Marty, then brought back again.
Again, more accuracy!............SLICE!For an owner who claims to be a big fan and grew up watching Gibbs 1, he never set a coherent direction for this team and instead chose to hire folks like Cerrato ,who would allow him to armchair GM.
Damn! You're on a roll! Of course, one has to acknowledge the family name was the main reason for Allen's hiring. 3 straight accurate assertions.............SLICE!He hired Bruce, partly because of his family name and it's ties to this club.
**So here, with the underlined portion of your claim, you concede that your earlier statement was, incorrect/fabricated/total BS, when you claimed that our draft failures were "totally attributed" to the front office. So.............BOOM!Yes, constant coaching changes do not help but look who's making those selections? There's your answer.
Well alrighty then. I don't know if you're old. But I am. And history is what it is. Whether you wish to re-write it or not. You are negative in regards to everything Snyder/Allen. That the choice you make........BOOM!Now go and try to blow this off as some old fan that's overly negative but the facts back this up:
While true, the inference you're implying, based on the theme of your post, suggests this is a Snyder failure.The Redskins have failed to reach 10 wins in 23 out of 26 seasons. That's an 88% failure rate.
Sorry, this is not a fact. It's an opinion.............BOOM!Until the owner either sells out, dies or is truly embarrassed enough that he hires a legit Front Office and not some buddy or a guy who's Dad once coached here...we're screwed as a fanbase.
This here is half fact, half fiction. So it's a wash. Except you started this portion claiming "the facts" back up your claims.Jonathan Allen falling to us was a miracle. It wasn't no master stroke of draft maneuvering. There aren't enough brain cells at the Park to competently maneuver and manipulate a draft.
Lastly, nothing has been "proven". And again you suggest the last 26 years are on Snyder.That's without a doubt been proven over the last 26 years.
You haven't joined any rooms.
