Only from 1946 to 1970 have the Washington Redskins had as poor a run as they have had from 1993 to 2016. From 1946 to 1970 the Redskins won 119 games in 25 years, or an average of fewer than 5 wins per year. In the 24 years since 1993 Washington has won 161 games or an average of 6.7 games per year. In 1971 a man named George Allen, father of Bruce, came to town with a powerful slogan and core belief – THE FUTURE IS NOW. It may just be that the same philosophy is being tried to break out of the current slump.
