After a dominant victory in Week 1, the Redskins appeared to have a new identity. It was hard to not stick your chest out as a fan, as national and local media unloaded freight trains full of praise on Jay Gruden’s new group.
Week 2 came around, and the Redskins fiery momentum from Arizona was swiftly extinguished by Andrew Luck and the Colts. The embarrassing showing against the Colts not only poured cold water on the fan, base but called into question; are the Redskins actually that good?
The fans who called for Jay Gruden’s job after the loss to the Colts flocked to Twitter like seagulls to a boardwalk, and at 1-1, Redskins fans were ready to put a nail in the Redskins 2018 season.
