The Redskins came up short against the Packers last Sunday, but they again played tough and showed resolve in a 20-15 loss to the Packers.
Nonetheless, the defeat finally put an end to the faint Redskin playoff hopes, prolonged unnaturally by the abysmal state of the rest of the NFC East. With that, reality has set in, and most fans are focused on looking toward next season, minor media feuds, and, most importantly, the fate of embattled team president Bruce Allen.
Naturally, this column will cover none of that. Nor will it discuss Sunday’s match-up against the Eagles.
