I used to believe that, but I don’t anymore. “Mr.” Snyder has shown through his recent actions that he clearly does not believe that to be the case. When he’s got security tossing signs at the gate and threatening folks to turn their shirts inside out or lose your season tickets, he’s making the statement that this is his show and he is the ringmaster regardless of what you may think.

He put out his apology yesterday, good on him. But his words and his deeds show two different mindsets. This is HIS team. It’s not ours anymore.

Dan Snyder is the devil you are correct.

We will not be a championship contender with him as our owner, and we should be angry with him for not building a winner just like his predecessor did.

Is this what you want to hear?

I don’t give Snyder a “free pass.”

You come across as very smug and all-knowing where Snyder is concerned.

He gave a candid interview with Comcast Sportsnet last season and if fans tuned in got to see the side of Daniel Snyder that is always going to be a Redskins fan.

It’s not fun when we lose. And they are going to be bad until they can find a decent starting QB and get healthy on the o-line.

Go ahead and enjoy your Snyder bashing.

BTW: Credit goes to my father for making a valid point when we last discussed this topic, what position does Snyder play?

The Emperor Has No Clothes fable applies here. Shooting the messanger (The Post) won’t fix the problem.

But even back then, the appropriate word was ‘right.’

It just took this long for the majority to catch on.

The most frustrating part of all that is that it took things getting this bad before the first glimmer of hope of a fix was visible.

Not only did he have a number of allies among the Post’s competition, he actually purchased and took control of, his own outlets. This isn’t about the public finally succombing to the Post’s negative propaganda… Redskins fans are among the most knowledgible in the league. They see the product on the field. Most suffered with their team for years, repeatedly giving Snyder the benefit of the doubt. I have been among that group.

No, it’s about fans coming to the simple conclusion that Snyder’s reign has, thus far, been a catastrophe. Most of us still detest the Post. They have always been malicious cheerleaders, revelling in each team failure. The fans are coming to their own conclusions IN SPITE OF the Post, not because of it. The Post’s gloating disgusts me.

It does no good, however, to demand the owner sell. Perhaps, better the devil we know. It remains possible… though not easy… for Snyder to turn this around. Ultimately, that must be where our hope lies, for none of us have the power to fire the owner.

It would seem to me that when you choose silence, you leave the media to fill in their own blanks. It would seem to me that when you stifle the local press for a decade in terms of access and information, that Snyder is really just reaping what he sows.

I’m wondering though… if it’s about Snyder worrying about what the Post will make of it – then why on earth wouldn’t he choose another outlet? The guy created his own propaganda wheel, complete with Redskins Tv, Redskins Radio and a purchased fan community – why hasn’t he chosen those outlets to ’say’ something? How does not ‘liking the Post’ rationalize complete silence when you OWN several other media outlets?

Go ahead and give him a pass because the Post isn’t ‘fair’ to him – that’s your prerogative – some of us are actually happy to see him sleeping in the bed that he made. It’s been a long time coming…

He has purposely, I repeat purposely remained silent, because he knows not to trust a publication that routinely questions every move he makes, or doesn’t make.

Snyder cannot win in Washington.

Fan favorite head coaching candidate Gregg Williams is a great defensive coordinator.

But head coach not on your life.

He was right to fire him. Was he wrong to hire Zorn? Maybe.

I argue it would be much worse for the organization to fire Zorn and a message to potential coaches that you are out after two years.

This team went 8-8 which is a typical first year finish for a rookie head coach.

And we are upset bc the offensive line is a patchwork of second-rate pass blockers who are playing highly skilled defensive teams.

No one has the ability to just wish success. It has got to be built.

Trust in the system cannot be forced.

Campbell is not Zorn’s guy. He shouldn’t be resigned and a young QB should be brought in.

Time to start anew.

Rebuilding is a painful, patient process. Snyder needs to clear the roster of old fat contracts and go get draft picks.

Brick by brick, this is the job of men. Are we man enough to rise from ashes of this predicament to see the light of a brand new day.

That remains to be seen.

Cooley is my life coach.
