Ankey-MandruBtoWashington Commanders@nfl.community•For the fans born during or after the "glory" years of the 80s, how are you feeling about the franchise, overall?English
1·2 years agoI watched the ‘92 Superbowl when I was about as old as my son is now. So, 8. I can’t believe I felt at the time that the Skins winning the SB was a fun, exciting, but somewhat normal conclusion to an NFL season. After 30 years of discovering what normal can be for a Skins fan, I’d say it’s cool to have some optimism. But losing still sucks and there’s no way that I’m ‘fine’ with this season. It suck’s and we stink. I feel bad for Jonathan Allen. We lost Montez Sweat. Terry’s talent is getting wasted. So yep, I can surely see that we have potential upside for next year. But the feeling of scrapping a year mid season and looking towards the next one while Cowboys fans are F’n fired up is annually familiar and also sucks balls.
Ankey-MandruOPBtoWashington Commanders@nfl.community•So you’re saying there’s a chance!…English
1·2 years agoAgree all around. Hope the draft position is good and the pick is made by a capable HC. Hard part is I’ve watched nearly every game for the past 30 years and have never been able to truly hope we don’t win, even in worse seasons than this, which there have been plenty believe it or not!
Ankey-MandruBtoWashington Commanders@nfl.community•I've been a Washington fan since 1980. I still drink coffee in my dad's mug. Don't care if it is "wrong" now.English
1·2 years agoCoffee this AM out of my Redskins mug! I’m not too worried about it. Go Skins! (Plz beat the F’n Giants they are so bad.😑🙄🙄🙄)
Ankey-MandruBtoWashington Commanders@nfl.community•Media love for CJ Stroud vs Howell is a joke.English
1·2 years agoI simply don’t think the media wants to be caught dead giving props to the team formerly known as the Redskins. Been that way for many years. Maybe will change under new ownership.
Ankey-MandruBtoWashington Commanders@nfl.community•So What Nickname Are You Calling The Commanders These Days?English
1·2 years agoUsually Skins or ‘Manders. Although took my kid to the trading card store at the mall today and asked if they had any true Redskins memorabilia. Some 8 year old next to me looked at me like i had just uttered the worst swear word imaginable. He told me “you can’t say that.” I assured the boy that I can and did.
Yeah after being the “stabilizing presence” for the last few years while the franchise endured turmoil, I imagine they will attempt to let him go with some dignity.
