Re: isnt there some book on why nfl teams win and lose?

I don't know if such a book exists, but if it did here is some of what it would say:

Winners:

-Dominate the line of scrimmage (good OL and good DL)
- Win the turnover battle (they don't turn the ball over and they force turnovers)
- Don't committ stupid penalties
- Don't pay 10 million dollar guys 100 million
- Let their GMs and HCs have lots of say, and stay out of their way (they don't micromanage)
- Hire the best coaches and GMs available
- Are more interested in winning than being cheap
- Build through the draft
- Have a longterm blueprint for success
- Have solid players who are the best at their position

Losers:
- have weaksauce lines
- play carelessly and get dumb penalties and cough the football up freely
- hire the cheapest option at GM and HC
- The GM has to be a yes man
- Get gimmic players because damn a good player is okay, but a shameless gimmick is even better
- Jersey sales and skimping on the cash and being cheap is preferable to win
- Don't have a plan regarding free agency, way overpay for mediocre talent
- Build their teams through risky free agent signings
- Draft poorly

Good post Gibby.

The best owners, IMO hire good football men for their front office, and sit back and enjoy the games.

cutler - 06, nope

trade up for sanchez, or draft freeman 09- nope

011- ok, fitz was decent, but the obvious common sense thing is to draft dalton in rd 2 or trade up for newton- nope

012- rg3 available for trade, nope...

dude, its almost a conspiracy.

it's literally like they are doing it on purpose...

So we should've drafted Gabbert? Tebow? Clausen? There's more terrible QBs than 'franchise' QBs.

Cutler sucks, Sanchez sucks, Freeman sucks- we wouldn't be much better off with any of them than we are with Fitz. None of those guys are franchise QB's.

Dalton- Maybe

Trading up for Newton or RGIII would have been far, far too risky. Even with RGIII playing well, Washington now lacks draft picks and it will hold back their rebuilding effort.

cutler does not suck, he is a good qb who has taken his team to the championship game
sanchez, w/e it still makes sense to take a chance
freeman- 10x better than fitz...

Losman worked out well and didn't set our franchise back 4 years, right?

wrong, losman was horrible in 05, they had a chance at cutler in 06 and 09- nope...

its beyond a conspiracy this team refuses to get a qb at all cost...
