The Redskins started losing. They didn't lose because they were worse than the other teams, or because they didn't try.
They lost because of stupid plays and bad luck. Watching their games turned into an exercise in blood pressure control.
Last Sunday's loss against Philadelphia was the last straw. The Redskins were leading by 20 points, and lost on a fumble in the last minute of the game.
I've had enough I'll only put up with extremely conservative players and a wacko coach if they are extremely conservative winning players and a wacko winning coach.
I know what you're thinking. If I blast the Redskins now, I may have a hard time getting a job in the organization after I graduate. That may be true. I may have to give up my dreams of being a All-pro kicksnapper and go to medical school.
Perhaps that is the worst disillusionment.
I know that I will still feel a tug at my heart when I see the Redskins score, and of course I wouldn't dream of becoming a Cowboys fan. But the deed has been done.
Redskins, I can hail thee no longer.
