The Commanders better enjoy this season...

[BrAinPaiNt]

Skins have beaten everyone in this division this year. No way Mike Mcmahon beats us Sunday.

Pssst...the topic at hand is the future cap problems, or lack of problems, for the Commanders next year.

Not whether they can or can not beat the eagles...for that one go to another thread.

dude, I embody sarcasm. if you do it right you a) don't need a smiley and b) people get it.

apparently you didn't get it because you were the only one to respond with a hundred word paragraph!

 

[SultanOfSix]

Wait a second. The Skins cap number is 120 million, yet it's not that bad for next year. Isn't it like 96 million this year? So what is the cap hike supposed to be for next year and to what value?

given that other people said stuff like this

He always manages to some how squeeze through and make some signings. How I don't know.

No doubt. They won't be affected whatsoever- we've been through this how many times?

i thought that I could clarify the cap situation. but I guess some of you prefer to think the skins somehow magically get under the cap.

I don't know the exact number but it is going to be higher then they were expecting earlier.

Plus you gotta remember they will trim some of those players off of the cap, they do not have a 1st round pick to worry about either.

I don't need anyone to clarify their cap situation for me...... I just know that for the last few years they have gone into the offseason over the cap and they always seem to get under before the season starts. Cutting players and eating the cap dollars is one way but surely it will catch up to them sooner or later. I am not stupid enough to believe that Tags helps them out of trouble......geez... :bang2:

it isn't the cap hike -- it is that so many of the player's deals are inflated next year -- most teams work deals like that to set a parameter for redoing the deal or forcing a decision on whether to keep the player. I don't know why reporters make such a huge deal out of this -- either they don't understand cap management or they pretend not to so they can have something to write about.

 

[AllLoyaltiesAside]

I don't think an operation even as bushleague as Houston ever makes a signing without considering all present and future cap ramifications. Year after year we see teams in horrible cap situations (including, but not limited to, Washington), and quite often they get out of it because it's all been planned in advance. Even back in his zenith of awful/expensive signings, Snyder and the people around him showed they understand the cap.

A month ago we'd have called Washington a re-building team without even looking at the cap ... now all of a sudden they're playing some ball and everyone's grasping for straws to undermine them. Relax, they may not even make it past Philly, in which case everyone can go back to making fun of them for something legit -- i.e. losing.

sorry for bringing actual INFORMATION to the table.

i'll just follow your lead in the future and post stupid crap.

 

[The30YardSlant]

BTW, next year's cap will be around 100 million

Zenith -- now there is a good word. Of course, most of the board thinks you are talking about television.

 

[jimmy40]

Who won just 11 days ago.


Commanders 35
Cowboys 7 We have the bragging rights now.

Yes you do. Props, enjoy them until will meet again.

I think everyone in the NFL knows that the Skins are one of the up and coming teams in the league. Gibbs has brought the franchise success again and has a built a team that will win for years to come. This year means much more to their fans than just two wins against the Cowboys. They have turned the corner and are now the class of the NFC East. That can't be denied.

The Boys on the other hand have A LOT of question marks at many positions on the field as well as head coach. They don't have a QB, a reliable RB, an O-line, a K, or much at WR. I doubt Parcells will be back.

Unless something big happens this offseason, the Skins, Bears, and Seahawks are going to be the big favorites in the NFC next year.

No they wont

They will lose Arrington

Brunell can only go so long, and Ramsey is nothing special

Dallas has far more depth and security at WR than Washington does

Julius Jones is a reliable runningback

Parcells will likely be back

The Cowboys, Commanders, and Giants are the class of the NFC East, and are all essentially the same team. Team's with a lot of talent but very inconsistant on a week to week basis.

 

[calico]

We must have managed it well enought to beat dallas twice LOL.

I think Cowboys fans can talk all the **** they want about the Commanders considering Skins fans did worse over the past 8 years when they did not come close to winning a season series...get off your high horse.

 

[Fan21]

If they're all the same team, then why are only 2 of them going to be in the playoffs?

I would have picked this post apart, but the ignorance speaks for itself.

The Skins are the class of the NFC East? That's classic. Come back here Monday when it's official that the Cowboys are in the playoffs and the Skins out.

 

[The30YardSlant]

1: There is a very good chance all 3 will make the playoffs, as Atlanta rarely loses to Carolina in the dome.

2: There is still a chance that Dallas makes it and Washington doesnt, dont count your chickens yet

3: All 3 teams are within 1 game of each other.

4: Don't forget that Dallas is 4 plays away from being 13-2
