Those Darned Redskins, Pt. Deux

Have you been to a professional sporting event lately?  A large number of attendees deserve to be punched.

I'll give you that.

Through three preseason games and five starts in the regular season, Gruden has seen enough to realize that Griffin is at best a long-term project as a pocket passer. Griffin was too deliberate reading defenses, displayed poor footwork and an alarming lack of pocket presence for a signal-caller in his third NFL season.

Also, Gruden?s assessment goes deeper than Griffin?s play. He has major concerns about Griffin?s decision making off the field, which has come to light through conversations with team officials at Redskins Park.
...

Considering Gruden?s firm stance, though, trading Griffin is the logical option. And if Snyder and Allen drag their feet or tell Gruden he must give Griffin one more chance, then Gruden may have to come up with an exit strategy even faster than Mike Shanahan did.

Realizing he faces a formidable challenge, Gruden is eager to roll up his sleeves. To help Gruden get the job done, Snyder and Allen should remove the albatross around his neck.

Anything good that's happened for the Caps was the result of being terrible and getting a lucky pingpong ball.

Isn't that how a lot of NBA teams became great?  Like the Spurs for instance?

Spurs? I'm confused...

You're not comparing any DC team to the best run and managed team in the United States, are you?

This is solid gold.  Beautiful move.

That's awesome.

This and Gregg Williams blitzing while being up 24, on a Redskins 3rd and 20 I believe. Pretty much yesterday was a big fat middle finger to the entire organization.

Then London Fletcher calls out Jim Haslett at being a shitty human being overall.

This team will just not go away.

I wonder if Jay Gruden is beginning to worry he might be fired....

At this point he may be hoping it happens.

He sure doesn't seem to be acting like he's worried about that. He seems to be grabbing his crotch at management/ownership. I'm rooting for him, honestly. Someone needs to change the culture.

You think the skins Illuminati is going to take a cue from a rookie head coach?  No freaking chance.

I hope they fire him.  Not because I don't like him, but he'll never succeed.  I just want to witness a new search for a head coach.  If they fire him now they will be totally out of options.  No coach wants to come into that snake pit.  I wonder what the vegas odds are that Gruden lasts the season.  At this point I'm sure he wishes he could quit, but he knows it will devalue him.  But what's worse......that or continuing to be associated with this flaming pile of shit?

I love watching this team suffer and flounder.  They are dead to me.  Enjoy the next 35 years or so!

Team Official says Gruden could be "one and done."
