Will We See Another Redskin Superbowl Vicory In our Lifetime?

[Skins-R-Us]

First off, let me say that I am happy that the Redskins have won three Superbowls in my lifetime! I was born in 1965 so my age actually follows the Superbowl number, so when the Skins won Superbowl 17 in 1982, I was 17. Needless to say that was a great experience as a teenager!

Superbowl 22 in 87' I was 22, so that was a good age for a Championship and in 1991 for Superbowl 26 I was... you guessed it 26.

Now again, don't get me wrong, I am happy I got to experience the Redskins during the glory days, but it has been about 18 long years since then and I will be 44 in July.

Based on the current ownership, roster, age of roster and many other factors, do we actually think the Redskins will win another Superbowl in our lifetimes. Now I realize that depending how old you are now, that this question can have different answers, but I was just curious what you thought. It is still a month or two from real football so I am just throwing out some filler.

If you want to discuss how old you were when the Skins won that is fine too. Some of you may not have been born yet or were too young to appreciate our victories.

I am a die hard fan and I would like to see a few more SB victories before my time. My daughter is eight and she has seen nothing but misery for the most part. She is a fan, but the Skins need to help her out a little. LOL

Look forward to your responses.

Anytime fans of a team start asking themselves this question, you know that the team is in deep trouble.

[Skins-R-Us]

Everyone including fans, whether we like to admit it or not, knows that this organization has deep rooted issues starting with (but not limited to) the Ownership and Front Office. I guess the real question is, how many years do you think it will take to win the next Superbowl. If we don't make a good run at it this year, we will have a lot of retooling to do, plus a new coach. So realistically we could be 5-7 years out.

One other factor could be the salary cap or lack there of next year. Because Snyderato wants to win bad, the money would be spent to try to get a winning product on the field, but that could backfire also.

Realistically we cannot quantify how many years we are out because we will never win with the current front office structure.

I don't know if the problem lies within the Owner Syder as he seems to have backed off a bit in the recent past. I believe the larger issue is the FO that clearly does not seem to have any bearings.

Being 21, and starting to live a healthier live, I hope I can outlast Snyder, thus I hope I will witness a Redskins superbowl victory....and then I'll probably die in the ensuing celebration

[smave]

doubtful honestly. Snyder is too young.

[BurgundyNGold]

It depends on whether I outlive Snyder. He'll probably clone himself illegally in China and harvest organs from the clone to prolong his life. So, no, I won't.

Snyder is Wintermute and Cerrato is his Corto/Armitage lol.

When I started watching Redskins in about 1962, it had already been 20 years since the Redskins won the championship. I spent another 20 years (40 years total) watching until we won the next one in 1982-83.

It has only been 17 years since we won our last title. As frustrating as this is, we will win another one. We have had much longer periods of frustration that this. The 60's were awful (especially the early 60's). Although I was too young, the 50's were even worse (Shally, you were there in the 50's. care to comment?)

You might want to clarify. Shally might come back with some comment about Henry Clay, lol.

I thought he'd be talking about how great it was to be an English subject back then, with commentary on the French and Indian war.

Every season I have hopes of going all the way ...... So my answer would be YES and several times over.
