Please Destroy the Commanders for the Good of Washington

[Chief]

This reminds me of those old Westerns when the bad guy is shot up and has no chance for survival and he's laying in the desert begging the sheriff to finish him off so he doesn't have to suffer.

Just ride away.

Vultures gotta eat, too.

Hmmmmm.

It's extremely frustrating being a Commanders fan at the moment and I think you guys can somewhat relate from having to spend the past few years under an old senile conservative coach who the game had clearly passed by.

i understand the sentiment and the comment. however, i was much more frustrated over the campo years than the BP years.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I kinda hate to see the snyder-Gibbs breakup.
The are so good together.

 

[bbgun]

In the back of my mind is the memory of the Skins beating the Saints last December in the dome, but they were much healthier then.

Furthermore, we were under .500 only once under Parcells. The Commanders have been twice under Gibbs and could be again this year.

I don't think Dallas will ever overlook the Commanders or any other NFC East team. Players know the importance of division wins.

I guess you couldn't see the sarcasm in the post and the vague Dexter Manley reference from 1983 when he said he hoped they weren't looking past the Cowboys as they had the Giants the next week..

 

[Romo2Bryant4Six]

haha brought tears to my eyes

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I'm sure Dallas players will oblige and provide a nice thumping!

No I did not get the sarcasm of the comment because there was no indication that you were being sarcastic it appeared to be a straight forward comment. I guess because I don’t recall the Manley comment from 1983 then again I never paid much attention to Manley anyways.

Canadian sarcasm, much like the Canada, is usually unoticable.

Was that really necessary?

I'm as much a fan as you despite the fact I live north of the border.

Ask yourself, why would anyone be looking ahead to the Jets

There are many claims made around here that are pretty off the wall. After a while you are not sure of who is being sarcastic and who is making a statement.

 

[HogsRLegends]

If this is what you're wishing, you're NO Skins fan. NEVER wish for a loss to Dallas, NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

A nice 49-7 stomping of the Skins will be one step closer to getting Gibbs out of town along with his terrible clock management and inept dink and dunk offensive attack. We have some nice weapons, but even if our receivers were Randy Moss and T.O. we'd still end up having both under 1,000 yards due to throwing them each 90 WR screens and five yard hitch routes.

The Commanders have had the lead in 17 of their last 32 losses and that's simply unacceptable. When you sit in the stadium every week constantly seeing the players in a state of confusion and disarray it gets on your nerves and I for one have had it.

Gibbs must go and a lopsided beating at the hands of the Cowboys will be one step further in the right direction.

thanks for coming on our hated rivals site with this nonsense..IDIOT!!!

RIP: "Cowboy Week" In Washington

Steve Czaban

This week, came and went with a whimper.

No taunts. No boasts. Not a single mildly controversial statement from anybody.

How sad.

So much for “Dallas Week” around Washington D.C.

It’s officially dead. I’m calling it.

Once upon a time, a high stakes football game with the godless heathens from Texas would invoke an energy and a buzz around the town, even when one or both teams’ records might be downright embarrassing.

Not this week. There’s nothing to be ashamed of for the Commanders. Yeah, they threw away last week’s mostly dominant effort against the Eagles. So what? Did I miss something, or is this team still 5-4 with a chance to beat Dallas twice yet this year?

I didn’t really expect the Cowboys to say much. After all, they are the ones sitting at 8-1 with a throttle-hold on the Division lead. But how come no Commander stepped up to say: “I don’t care what the record is right now. But we’ve got two shots at ‘em, and I for one am not conceding anything right now?”

I was hoping just one Commander would say or do something to put this game on the TOP of the ubiquitous right side rundown on every ESPN talking head show. I know they say you shouldn’t “write checks your *** can’t cash” but then again, sometimes you need a guy to throw out some smack to put your OWN team on edge.

A good edge, that is. A hungry edge. An edge that says: “Wow. So and so just put is *** out there for us this weekend, I better be ready to BRING IT!”

I know that the modern age of free agency in the NFL does not lend itself to the typical “We don’t like them, and they don’t like us” type of pre-game tension builders as they once did in the 70’s and 80’s.

Now, it’s more like “We don’t KNOW them, and they don’t know us.”

Looking at the likely roster of lightning rod players for the Commanders, I’m not too surprised nobody stepped up.

Jason Campbell is too quiet, too young, too new in the job.
Clinton Portis is a self-promoting clown, not a team motivating orator.
Santana Moss is quiet, and hurt to boot.
Antwaan Randle El, simply too nice.
Ditto Betts, Cooley, et al. on offense.

Defensively, Sean Taylor would seemingly be the guy that can run some mouth, and back it up with 260 pounds of “ooommpphh!” on Sunday. But he too runs from the media spotlight, and is out with an injury.

Marcus Washington. Hurt.
Rocky McIntish. Too new.
LaRon Landry. Ditto.
D-Line, too underachieving.
Fred Smoot. Too silly.
Shawn Springs, too heavy hearted right now.

The only guy, the only one that I had hoped, and thought could pull off a little mid-week Cowboy JOLT for this team, is London Fletcher. But I’m gonna give him a pass because he’s been so phenomenal on the field.

So there we were all week as Skins fans, left to watch a timid, humbled team, go through their professional paces like it was business as usual.

This was the last thing we needed.

We needed one person to say something that would have made Gibbs The Constantly Nervous, pull him aside and say “please don’t make them mad.”

We needed a little scrap in practice between guys.

Something, anything! It’s DALLAS WEEK fellas! This is it!

The season – and perhaps Joe Gibbs’ entire comeback run – pivots on this game. If the Skins can pull a shocking 11 point underdog upset, then EVERYTHING is back in play.

Everything.

Their record will be 6-4. Confidence will be sky-high. The Cowboys lead will be cut to 2 games, with a return date looming in Washington to end the season!

Am I the only one who sees the crossroads the team is at?

If the Skins lose Sunday, and do so as badly as the oddsmakers predict, it may just be because they are not that good, and beat-up to boot. I can accept that.

But if they play as a reflection of their increasingly conservative coach and lose, then I’ll be rippin’ mad that this week was just one to punch the time clock en route to a slaughter.
