The only way to turn it around is to start over from the owner on down. And that's why it's not going to happen any time soon, if ever.

Now all I can remember are the terrible beatings, ridiculous negative plays, and horrible luck that have been standard fare for over 20 years now. Any young Redskin fans (under 30) must be gluttons for punishment. They've never really had a team they could be proud of for more than a year or so.
The Skins will never ever be a good team. It is what it is.

To be fair, Jacksonville is never on national TV.
Well, whenever the Redskins are on national TV they forget to show up, so it's kinda the same thing, right?

It sure as heck looks that way. I can't even think of a scenario that would reverse the trend here.
Not much hope. Thank The Lord this is not life altering and is just a game.

New owner = new team name. So technically, the Redskins wouldn't win another championship.

My wife gives me hell all the time about not being a real fan, but I'm 30 and honestly don't remember the 1992 season, What have they done since then to make me have any faith in this team?
