All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
At least Redskins fans get the impression their owner wants to win.
They fired their GM last night, hired a new one today.
Our team hasn't had a GM in forever, the one we had was 100 year old washed up coach.
I think Danny always WANTS to win, and the money he spends on coaches and FA's proves it.
The problem is that he goes about it in stupid ways. Snyder is just a fan like the rest of us, except he happens to have billions of dollars. His ego is too big to admit he doesn't know **** about football, so he meddles in personnel decisions and decisions that should be left to the coaches, and it holds him back.
In the case of the Bills, I think they confine themselves with "We'll win, as long as we can do it for this amount of money or less." In the case of the Skins, I think Danny-boy says "I'll do whatever it takes to win." The problem is, he can't figure out what "whatever it takes" means in practical terms, and he's not willing to listen to the people who know football enough to figure it out.
Or, at least he hasn't been willing to listen in the past. Maybe that is finally changing now.

Seems like he's been maturing as an owner lately. Haynesworth wasn't a dumb signing IMO, as he was going to get that money somewhere.
He went with Gibbs, which was a good choice if he didn't quit. Zorn, IDK he screwed that up...But he's obviously hiring a guy to make choices for him. IDK if it's the right choice, but at least you know he'll keep swinging for the fences till eventually he hits a home run.
Bruce Allen is a good hire for them i think. Cerreto was their contact to Shanahan so i really think him going to Wash is over. However, i still think Shanny goes to Dallas.
So what does it mean? It means that many of us, including me, were wrong in thinking that Cerrato would remain in spite of the likely change in coaches. Now, the decks have been fully cleared for the next head coach/general manager. And my sources tell me that it will still be Mike Shanahan
What has free-spending Danny-boy bought with his money? How many rings does he have? How many playoff wins? And you say "yeah, but at least he cares!" That and a $1 gets you a coffee at McDonald's.
