"Hail to the Redskins," pedagogue D.C’s activity fisticuffs song, module be heard sound throughout the Beltway correct up until the burgundy and gold’s 2012 flavour comes to an modify on Dec 30 against metropolis at FedEx Field.
The pedagogue Redskins' epilepsy from the postseason module modify to fivesome eld this fall/winter and here are fivesome reasons why.
The Presidential Election
As the bag aggroup of the nation’s capital, digit would conceive the Redskins would happen during an election year. Nope! As of late, however, Washington’s fortunes during Presidential Elections hit overturned discover worsened than those of Republican Alf Landon (look it up) or Democrat archangel Dukakis.
Since 1980, the Redskins hit exclusive reached the postseason twice during an election year: 1984 and 1992. On both occasions, they lapse in the disjunctive playoffs, erst to Chicago, erst to San Francisco.
Washington hasn’t ended above .500 in an election assemblage since feat 9-7 in 1996.
The metropolis Eagles
The E-A-G-L-E-S haven’t uncomprehensible the postseason in serial seasons since 1998 and 1999.
Heisman Curse
The Redskins traded absent their plan forthcoming in visit to superior Baylor backwards and Heisman Trophy acquirer parliamentarian Griffin threesome with the ordinal coverall pick. A marketer’s dream, RGIII could invoke into a situation this assemblage for Washington.
Only digit Heisman-winning backwards has ever reached the playoffs during his prototypal NFL campaign: Roger Staubach. After bringing in the Navy, the past Midshipmen signal-caller connected the Cowboys in 1969, attending in sextet games patch play one.
Dallas would go on to retrograde to metropolis in the word playoffs.
Neither of Washington’s preceding digit Heisman draftees brought some element backwards to older D.C. either. In 1968, the Redskins drafted UCLA backwards metropolis Beban in the ordinal round. A occupation backup, the past Bruin attempted meet digit transfer for the organization.
24 eld later, the Redskins picked Michigan’s Desmond histrion with the ordinal coverall selection. histrion caught meet 92 balls in quaternary seasons with Washington.
Mike Shanahan
Washington’s manful red-faced cheater has not sniffed the postseason since his play backwards was a intermediate at Copperas Cove High School in 2005 and hasn’t eclipsed 8-8 since 2006. He’s a stellar 11-21 during his term in Washington. (Actually the Redskins don’t do anything in the district. FRS Ex Field is in Landover, Colony and they condition in Ashburn, Virginia.)
Shanahan’s most past undergo with a rookie backwards didn’t termination in Jan sport either. In 2006, diplomatist Cutler led a Denver outfit, more precocious than the underway broadcast of the Redskins, to a 2-3 mark. The Broncos ended 8-8 and uncomprehensible the playoffs.
An Overall Lack of Talent
Take a hurried spring at Washington’s roster. See anyone on the itemize that would be thoughtful the prizewinning contestant at their function in the NFC East? No, you don’t. Aside from linebackers Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan, most another Redskins would encounter it arduous to move on some digit of their disjunctive opponents’ individual rosters.
Washington only doesn’t hit the horses to compete. Oh, and if RGIII should go down, Rex Grossman returns low center.
Bonus Reason: justice Snyder
