It was another tough season for all of us. Hopefully, there is little carry-over and the heat level has adequately subsided from white hot anger to something approaching cautious curiosity or for some maybe even excitement. My question is ......has it? Are the moves made or currently being made enough to restore hope for the up-coming season? Do you need to see more? particularly with player movement/acquisition? Still pissed? let's hear from you....the sounding board is now open!

the only move that befuddles me is the hiring of joe barry at DC . that wouldnt have been my hire but neither would wade phillips i dont know if can be a DC and that detroit thing is an issue

i get he didnt have the players but alas he doesnt have them here either

he got good reviews in san diego so hopefully it will work out

i like the fewell hire , morris didnt impress me

cavanaugh was a good hire as is callahan

i like the GM hire

the d/line coach is in experienced so that is a concern

Good question sty. Honestly, I feel like Charlie brown with Lucy holding the football asking me to kick it. At this point, I feel all these moves only mean to me that they are asking me to kick the ball again. You know what the worst part is? I'll probably take a swing at it eventually. But right now I won't believe any of these hires will make a difference until I see that dan has changed his ways for real. As long as Lucy controls the ball, I just know that I'm gonna end up on my ass.

Oh, what the hell, put the damn ball down and I'll boot it!:doh:

At this point as of right now I have an "I don't give a fuck approach " I'm hoping that will change after the draft cause I don't expect anything big on free agent signings witch is a good thing

:agree: until Snyder proves to me he is someone other than Lucy, I'll have to see it to believe it. But like j_y and Charlie Brown I will most likely try to kick the ball again.

Damned funny stuff you've written, though lots of truth in it. Maybe someone has a sunnier outlook but in the meantime, I'm lining up behind you and Sportster and hope beyond reason that Lucy won't get us again. It's sort of a strange feeling when just like Charlie Brown we know what's coming, yet just can't resist taking that running start.

Get back to this after the draft and let us know if you're at least ready to give one fuck!

This team is heading in the right direction with Scot in charge.
I don't have great expectations for this year, but I do want to see some good draft picks and a change in the attitude. Out with the old, and in with the new.

If we have 2 wins by week ten, I will start the Fail for Cardale chants!

at least we have a good o line coach now. fixing the o line is a great start to turning the team around.

I agree with you that some patience is needed and I am sure you realize that 5 years in the NFL is an eternity. My guess is most rosters are well over 50% turned over in 5 years. Injury, free agency and poor play will eliminate most players by the end of 5 years. If the Skins do not show marked improvement in year 2 they are failing. By the end of year three they should be up and playing well if all of these moves are succesful. Of course that means they need to find their QB by then.
