PrintI need a break from the Zorn/Shanahan talk for a second...that OK with everyone? The NFL PR just emailed out the Redskins 2010 opponents, so I thought I'd take a look at some brewing headlines for next year:
Home: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts
Away: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, St. Louis Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans
There will be some headlines the media will surely love to talk up and which will undoubtedly create some great nuggets for Skip Bayless to endlessly ramble about, including:
1.) Haynesworth is going back to Tennessee
72 straight hours of hearing that the trade was not worth it....as the media still complains about Haynesworth playing on average 73% of the plays per game...his average in TEN.
2.) Snyder will get a first-hand look of Cutler in Chicago, aka "the one who got away"
He has to be thanking his lucky stars that trade never panned out
3.) The Redskins will get a chance to redeem themselves in Detroit.
4.) Brett Favre coming to Fedex?
We probably won't know until September 1st if Favre will play "one more" year. I definitely can't handle another year of Favre flip-flopping and ESPN's 24-hour coverage of it.
5.) Bruce Allen faces his old team as the Buccaneers return.
I know Tampa Bay fans would hate to lose that game.
6.) Kyle Shanahan coaching against his old team, the Texans
(added at 6:44pm via the comments section of user 'artmonk4ever')
It'll be interesting to see how many Redskins fans show up to the games next year. I'll be adding polls on that topic soon.

" I definitely can't handle another year of Favre flip-flopping and ESPN's 24-hour coverage of it."
I love it.
Orakpo!!! Russel Okung next year!
Favre
should just come out and say “you all know I’m not going to make up my mind till preseason, so when I decide I’ll let you know. Until then, fuck off.”
That would be awesome
but then the media would just dwell on that statement all offseason.
I think the best football-season commercial this year was Favre in the best-buy store shopping for televisions. Classic.
Excellent...
Added that in.
"It was one of those things where everyone in the building was suddenly excited again," Cerrato said. "And all the women in the building were the most excited. They couldn't believe we were getting the guy from "Dancing With the Stars."
Kyle.
If Shanahan’s tenure is good here in DC, do you think it’s possible Kyle could become head coach when his father leaves?
I thought the same thing
and then I realized that means our organization would be grooming our own HCs in house. That is SO not the Snyder-era Redskins.
That seems like an
awfully tough schedule for a 4-12 year. Did I count 7 games against playoff teams (including 4 games with Dallas and Philly)?
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
previous year doesn't dictate much for the schedule
I think our ’09 finish only effects 2 games for ’10, otherwise, everything is based on division.
(2x division games, 1x AFC division, 1x NFC division)
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Don't the teams match up in the divisions
1X AFC Division 4th place vs our 4th? I guess that only counts for a couple as you say.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
right. prev year dictates 2 games
the other 14 are independent of prev year
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Everyone in our conference plays the NFC North and AFC South
but our non-common opponents are Tampa Bay and St. Louis. Dallas has the Saints and Cardinals. NY has the Panthers and Seahawks. Philly has the Falcons and 49ers. I think we made out the best in that department.
last place team plays last place team
first place team plays first place team
etc etc
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
And there you go.
We have some tough home games, but overall I think its a decent draw for a rebuilding year.
That is THE classic photo of Cutler
Bad boy just got spanked. LOL
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Seriously
How are you not all smiles?
"It was one of those things where everyone in the building was suddenly excited again," Cerrato said. "And all the women in the building were the most excited. They couldn't believe we were getting the guy from "Dancing With the Stars."
I actually am today...
Will be totally all smiles once we know for certain it is Zimmer coming over.
Wonder what his expression would have been if he had been holding a Skins uniform?
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
All smiles
because he would have a HUGE payday coming his way, and he wouldn’t have taken a beating yet.
Favre's Soap Opera makes me sick
but he suprised me this year. Pretty impressive for a 40 year old guy.
When you have a solid O-Line and young, hungry receivers, it’s easy.

wait for his playoff implosion
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
London?
With the away game at Jacksonville a London game may be possible…
Oh yea...
From reports I heard, this is the most likely game

Detroit away again?
This is like the 3rd year in a row we play Detroit in Detroit.

last place teams play last place teams
that’s partially how the schedule’s made

Same as you

Keep them.
I’ll buy them so you wouldn’t have to get back on the list. You know you won’t be able to stay away for long.
they're club level tickets = over-priced
trying to move down to lower….given the way they treated Ken in the past, our relationship with the organization, and the repercussions if they don’t move us to lower (ie – tell the story on HH), we’ll see what comes out of it. But I’m not doing another season of Club or upper level with this current product and the financial implications for me..
"It was one of those things where everyone in the building was suddenly excited again," Cerrato said. "And all the women in the building were the most excited. They couldn't believe we were getting the guy from "Dancing With the Stars."
unless you're rich, club level is a colossal waste of money

no doubt...I had a special deal tho...but even still.

Have you tried, um, “negotiating” with them. I’ve heard you can get them to come down a bit. (Not that I’ve tried)
oh yea....multiple times...they're dicks

I'm thinking
of just selling my season tix and then just buying random games I want to go to…that way if they actually are any good I’ll still be eligible for the playoffs. (Cue Jim Mora)
Have you suggested
your lawyers and their lawyers have lunch? Perhaps not…?
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Because of the price of the tickets...
I can’t afford lawyers. Redskins win again!

Has anyone
started the talk of us trading for Brandon Marshall? Looks like he’s gonna be available. I think it would be stupid, but you never know around here.
By the way
James said you’re the reason he stopped commenting. He said that he couldn’t comment all day and then talk to you about it all night. So I blame you that my man-crush doesn’t post anymore.
I'm just saying...
We had a great dinner a couple of weeks ago. We really connected and he told me that he talked to you in the morning maybe, do you guys have opposite work schedules? I think it something to do with that.
Are you jealous that I had dinner with him?
so is TO
the Bills will let him go. That would be such a great pick-up. He’s such a team focused guy and alway concerned about his quarterback…..He is better than Santana Moss for real..
yes
He’s currently married. I went to college with the wife and actually just hung out with the whole gang the other week. I just wanted to give you a hard time because I’m bitter that I’m still at work. This is Joe by the way.
Quite frankly, my man-crush is nothing to compared to his. It gets down right awkward when his wife is around. The kid also put a kink in things.
ugh
I am hoping we don’t try for Marshall. But I would be livid if we even TALKED about signing T.O.
we shouldn't sign any of those guys
We need to cut ARE, and keep Moss, Thomas, Kelly, Mitchell, Cooley, and Davis. That is a kick ass offensive front. There are always five options there and they are all threats. You can do 4 WR’s and 1 TE or 3 WR’s and 2 TE, you could split Davis or Cooley out wide. You could do a ton of things with those guys right there. Hell, I could be persuaded to throw Moss into the slot. He would out-welker Welker.
Don't forget Yoder!!
Grabbed another TD yesterday.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
+1
“He would out-welker Welker.”
Foaming at the mouth from all the excitement of a "Kindergarten Ninja"-less Front Office!
It got started and immediately deep-sixed.
Along with the stupid notion of bringing on TO. Our receiving corps, if you include all 3 TEs, will be great if we just take care of the OL. We shouldn’t waste a drop of time, energy, or money – and certainly not draft picks looking at any other teams WRs. Marshall is a cancer and he and TO team wreckers. We’ve got enough bad attitude on the team as it is.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Be interested in who comes in as receivers coach
Gotta be better than whomever we had under Zorn.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
There are enough suckers out there
There will be people who will buy this “change” as real change. They will buy into this hook, line, and sinker. Therefore, there will be as many people attending games at FedEx next year as there was this year, if not more.
if i dont renew my tickets then they will be in the playoffs..
and I’ll be kicking myself……I can’t say..If I do thats its like a divorce…..sleepless nights drinking..etc not good
I will be going
to every game next season. There are a bunch of teams that I haven’t seen play, and regardless of who the coach is, things will at least be interesting for the first few games.
Packers, Vikings, and Colts- all playoff teams- will be cool to see. Of course, it will suck if we get toasted, but I think I could handle watching it. Who knows, maybe Peyton will have a career day.
Will Dan Get It Right This Time?
I really hope we can finally get some stability because this losing and circus atmosphere that seems to never leave this team is way beyond old.
Tickets
I’m considering dropping my seats or at the very least going from 6 to 4 or 2. I’ll lose one of parking passes if I do but I just cant see spending the same amount of money again on this team. Of couse it’s January, give me 2 months of no football and I’ll probably be chomping at the bit to write the check
Also, like the guy above I’m sure the minute I cut them loose they’ll be back in the playoffs so maybe I should just do it for the good of team.
