At least this decade we have 2 playoff appearances and 2 division championships that's better than last decade except we don't have a playoff win but sadly, neither of the two 30 year old QBs who got us to the division championships are with the team anymore.

It's still been nearly 30 years since the team won 11 games, longest drought in the NFL. You shouldn't be defending mediocrity by saying "at least." That's part of the problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The fact that Stefan Wisnewski is the top back up interior OL for the Eagles and our starting LG was Shaun Lauvao just shows that Dan Snyder needs to #FireBruceAllen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not defending anything, you're reading too much into the line that we have won 2 division championships this decade. I certainly know we're a sad franchise. Also, I'm not part of the problem. You don't know me. Edited January 13, 2019 by turtle28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is a pretty big story for us, I would suggest to @Woz and @Thaiphoon to consider splitting the news of Allen's "re-promotion" into it's own thread. Eh, I'd much rather keep all of the Allen news in one cesspool, so I can throw it away when the blessed day comes (and it will come ... I have to believe that ...). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we really talking decades? This team has backed into the playoffs or gotten luck in which the division has sucked. I give no credit to this football operations for doing anything right. The amount of talent we have had on this roster over the past 20 years and the best we could do is 2 playoff wins? Given that with the Bruce Allen promotion to run EVERYTHING? He failed at football, he failed at PR, he failed in Tampa, and Snyder promotes him? What example am I setting for my kid in which I support dysfunction and failure. Kid: Oh hey, you root for the Redskins daddy? Are they any good? Me: No, but I am a fan of losing. So you should be too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't won over 10 games since 1991, the longest such stretch of any team in the NFL. Just let that sink in for a minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
