The Washington Redskins have been non-competitors throughout the entirety of Dan Snyder’s tenure as the team’s owner, and in the near-decade that team president Bruce Allen has overseen football operations, the team has somehow sunk to a new low; a ruthless reality in limbo.
Under Bruce Allen, the Redskins have been unable to sustain any fleeting glimpses of success they might have experienced, and those glimpses have been used as proof, that the team was never too far away from competing. Allen’s famous “it means you’re close” quote from the offseason of 2019 has undergone immense scrutiny, with the Redskins now 2-9 with five contests left in the 2019 regular season.
