The Redskins, who spend more money then just about everybody had a very similar season.

They started 6-2 and finished 2-6.

And what about Dallas and all the money they spend? 9-7!!!!!

I'll give this to the Redskins though- at least they try to be good.

They spent tons more on coaches and other areas of the team. They aren't trying to whore out their club to another country 2 times a season

They try. That's the bottom line.

Better to try and fail than not try.

Otherwise you won't know whether it will work or not.

The biggest problem with this team is not the fact that they're cheap.



First off, they think and play like losers! They need to change that mindset.

Second, Why in the world are we so quick to throw guys on IR? It’s 2008 and sometimes you have to coddle these athletes. But they get mad at Crowell and out of spite put him on the IR!?!?!?!?! The guy would have been back for the 3 game run thru the AFC East in mid season. Not saying he makes all the difference in the world, but those games were all decided by 10 points or less and you all know as well as me that Keith Ellison is completely overmatched.

Third, it may some small to some of you, but the practicing inside issue drives me CRAZY! Do you think that the Florida teams practice in side during September? Not a chance in the world. Why, because they have a HUGE homefield advantage.

Teams that play in the Northeast have the same advantage at the most important point of the season. Pittsburgh knows this and they build their teams around it. What about New England? They said before week 17 that the Pats ALWAYS practice outside. They’re also winning November and December games at a 90% clip. Then to add insult to injury, we decide to give one of our advantageous home Nov/Dec games to Toronto. Then pansy assed Dick Jauron practices inside that damn barn everyday. Are you kidding me!

I know some of you Internet football experts might disagree, but to me, playing in the cold weather is an enormous advantage. This year we should have had 9 potentially cold Nov/December games. 9! But we sent one to Toronto so it was 8.

Pittsburgh knows this and build the team with a ferocious, hard hitting defense and a road grating offensive line. Plug in any running back and a QB that can manage the game and come Nov/Dec they almost can’t lose those cold weather games.

The good teams in the NFL are the smart teams, Not the teams that spend the most.

Nail on the head.


You aren't wrong Pat....

Re: I keep hearing the excuse about being cheap but

Forget about players and focus on coaches and FO.

That tells who is at least trying to win and who is merely trying to be competitive to sell tickets.

Exactly!

Just look at San Diego, that's who we need to model our franchise after. Something like 20/22 starters were drafted by the Chargers.

You can say the same for Indy.

I'm all for building a team around a draft, but not with an incompetent front office like we have.

By the way, how much more do you think SD FO personnel makes than our guys?

As I said before about Dallas and the Redskins, they are missing one thing...
