Skins fans shouldn’t be thankful for Snyder, Saunders

 Washington Redskins
Thanksgiving is normally a day for people to be grateful for what they have, but it's probably not the case for fans of the Washington Redskins. Originally believed to be a Super Bowl-caliber team entering the 2006 season, Joe Gibbs' team has fallen flat on its proverbial face, with a 3-7 record and virtually zero chance of making a return trip...
What's the buzz about?

Hey Connor, How can you say that about LLoyd and Randel El when Brunell was the one that couldn't get them the ball. The knock should be against Brunell, not the receivers. Snyder??? I thought Gibbs is now making the personnel decisions.

What a poorly put together article. Seriously, Gibbs and Williams picked those players....and as for the big bucks...doesn't anyone remember how Joe Gibbs used to sweet talk Jack Kent-Cook into spending extra money on players that weren't even on the Roster ! Now Gibbs is doing EXACTLY the same thing with Snyder. If anything - Synder here has simply handed the keys to the city over to Gibbs & his coaching staff. Sure, he signs the pay cheques BUT DON'T FOR ONE SECOND THINK THAT GIBBS ISN'T PULLING ALL THE STRINGS by getting Synder to pay.

After all it is well documented that Joe Gibbs is one of Snyders boyhood idols and is still in awe of Joe Gibbs.......so what Joe says goes.

I don't think it is fair to blame Snyder in this instance, he has done what good owners should do - let coaches coach

Snyders real failing in Gibbs II is not hiring a complementary General Manager a la Bobby Bethard....this Vince Cerato is a real mystery to me. WHAT EXACTLY DOES HE BRING TO THE REDSKINS TABLE ANYHOW?...now that's something I WOULD like to read about
