Redskins owner Daniel Snyder thought his team could beat the Eagles on Monday night. When the end result was a 59-28 thrashing by their NFC East rivals, Snyder slipped into a funk.
“The next day, I’m in the tank,” Snyder said at a Wednesday evening appearance at the University of Maryland, per Rick Maese of the Washington Post. “Talked to Mike [Shanahan] last night — I was still in pajamas, so . . . .”
Snyder had more to say about the 31-point defeat, Philly’s biggest victory margin over the Redskins since 1950, when the Eagles swept D.C. 35-3 and 33-0.
“No. 1, it’s embarrassing. And I felt terrible for all our fans,” Snyder said. “Monday night, we were jacked up and tailgating was spectacular, team got in a fight before the game back and forth. I’m like, ‘Okay, we’re going to take them.’ And then that guy [Michael Vick] ran all over the place, threw the ball perfectly and got on us before we knew what hit us. And occasionally that’s going to happen.”
Right, but the occasions are fewer and farther between for the league’s best teams. And despite Snyder’s resources and the team’s revenues, he simply can’t put the Redskins among the finest franchises in all of football.
Consider this — in 11 years under Snyder, the Redskins have qualified for the playoffs only three times. They’ve secured only one division title, way back in 1999.
But, hey, at least they’ve got Donovan McNabb under contract for the next five years.

If that’s his wife in those NFL commercials I’d be in my pj’s all day long.
…but he doesn’t feel bad enough to do the right thing and sell the team to someone who is competent.
Snyder will never get it. Money can’t buy you football smarts.
Must have had nightmares of Mike Shannahan, coming for all his gold.
I’ll make sure I never get fired by Dan Snyder.
I might end up as bitter as Florio there.
She is fine………no doubt
Anyway, yeah with McNabb locked up for 5 years, it’s going to start getting better………….in 6 years
You’d think he’d be used to it. In 2007 the Pats put up about as many points on the Skins also.
If he really cared about the Redskins he would sell the team.
Just because he has the cash doesn’t mean he is going to have a good team
I would feel in my pjs too. Redskins needed to sign vick and not mcnabb.
It’s good to see him speaking to the media more. Like him or not he’s a polarizing figure and an interesting one too.
yeah Florio, because that’s what we think over here in Redskins land, that we are an elite franchise. We are diehard, some of us homers, but we are not stupid. We are coming off of a 4-12 season. There is plenty of work to be done…
Hey Florio… McNabb is locked up for 5 years.. but they only have to keep him for one.. or do you not read the articles you write?

or the videos you do?

The Skins are as embarrassing as Florio’s 3-6 Never-Won-Sh*t Vikings.
Dan hijacked the Rooney Rule to get the washed-up, old white coach he had been lusting after
Karma?
Instead of McNabb they should’ve thrown $20 million at Brett Favre and traded a 3rd round pick for Randy Moss………oh wait………that would’ve gotten them a worse record. Never mind.
so THAT is why Al Davis wore those silly track suits all those years.
Tom Coughlin is next.
When Haynesworth is your highest paid defender, and your the dar-dar that made him the highest paid defender in the league. You will suck. Watching his fat ass lay on the ground quitting on his team mon night was a disgrace to say the least. You dont think his teamates see that and say, “he’s making 10 times what I am?” Grow a set of ball Snyder and man up and cut him!!
Dan Snyder: Bananas in Pajamas.
Maybe he should recruit the GM in Dallas and bring him to Washington. Would that help them go 0 – 16?
hiring shanny was your mistake number 1.
Well at least the Nationals are…. well the Wizards…..Man DC is horrible.

So Florio posts an article last night about how the Redskins have McNabb by the balls because they have until the beginning of next season to release him and owe him virtually nothing.
The next day he posts an article that takes a cheap shot at the Redskins about having McNabb under contract for the next 5 years.
It must be so much easier to write articles when you don’t worry about things like consistency, truth, accuracy or fairness.

Are Spiderman Underoos really pajamas?
Way to dig at McNabb while piling on Snyder.
From an Eagles Fan:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
They don’t call them the “Deadskins” for nothing! LOL!
Mr Snyder ,
Thanks for showing us how to buy a winning team. More money spent equals better talent on the field equals better coaches equals more wins. How’s that working out for you so far?
Glad the Bucs weren”t paying attention.
