Super Bowl era?

When did the Redskins ever go through a Super Bowl "era"?

The only sort of pattern that exists between the Redskins and the Super Bowl is that they seem to win it in strike-shortened seasons.

So unless they're going to come out with uniforms that consist of helmets with the words "Strike" on them, I don't know what SB era they're referring to.

They should play the Dallas game at RFK for full effect.

And the undershirt thing hanging out looks fucking sloppy, no matter who is wearing it.

Not sure he has the power to stop a stadium deal. He should concentrate on things that actually matter. Like deporting Jerry.
Yeah, focus on the big picture, Donald.

I'm glad somebody is willing to express the insane good fortune these jokers had last year. I'm expecting an 8-10 win season out of them, with a better chance at 6-7 wins than 11-12.

No. 10 Washington Commanders had a miracle season with Jayden Daniels

Washington Commanders fans were in purgatory for a long time. They were owed a season like 2024.

It's not hard to pick the highlight of a magical season led by historic rookie Jayden Daniels. The Hail Mary win over the Chicago Bears was one of the great finishes in NFL history. However, that was far from the only one. There was Daniels being nearly perfect early in the season as Washington knocked off the Bengals. Daniels beat the Eagles on a touchdown pass with six seconds left, and that was Philadelphia's only loss from September through the Super Bowl. The next week, Daniels and Washington toppled the Falcons on an overtime touchdown pass. It was a season full of moments that will be replayed by NFL Films for a long time.

Daniels had five touchdown passes in the final 30 seconds of regulation or overtime, which was two more than any other quarterback since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger. His 12 touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and overtime set an NFL rookie record. The good vibes kept going in the playoffs, when Daniels led a late game-winning drive in the wild card win at Tampa Bay, and then guided a shocking upset at Detroit to put Washington in its first NFC championship game since the 1991 season. It was an awesome, memorable season that drew plenty of Washington fans back in after they had given up during the woebegone, humiliating Daniel Snyder era.

It was also completely and entirely unsustainable.

Daniels could end up being the most clutch quarterback in NFL history and maybe never replicate what he did as a rookie. Washington caught a lot of breaks, not just with those memorable game-winning plays, but sometimes the fluky plays that set them up. An inordinate amount of close wins (the Commanders had nine wins in one-score games and five in games decided by three points or fewer, including playoffs) isn't the only regression factor either. The Commanders converted 20 of 23 fourth downs, and that 87% rate was by far the highest in modern NFL history. That will regress, perhaps by a lot.

The Commanders also benefited from a soft schedule. Of Washington's 12 wins last season, 11 came against non-playoff teams. That was the most in the NFL. Winning two playoff games helps mitigate the concern that they were a product of an easy slate, but it's another factor that won't repeat with a tougher schedule. They also had the fifth fewest adjusted games lost due to injury, which was fairly lucky. And now Terry McLaurin is going public with his unhappiness over his contract situation.

I’d take Daniel’s any day over Dak. They might have gotten a ton of lucky breaks but that kid is the real deal.

Outside of all that…would you rather be a fan listening to the same old tired Jerry Jones shit and pumpin’em up, smoke up your ass drivel that you KNOW ain’t happening or a fan of a team coming off a season like the Commanders.

Amazing what actual owners who care about winning can do.

Yes, I would take their situation because a franchise QB is the most important thing in the league (to an extent) and they have a potential one that's 24. And of course I'd take any random ownership group over Jerry.

But that's not the point, and if Dak were 25 instead of 33 I'd take our roster over theirs. I still would just for a single season.

I heard the same thing about RGIII.

Think I'll wait another year or two before anointing him.
To be fair to RGIII, he had a numbnut for a HC and owner that allowed him to play on a serious knee injury that was ultimately the biggest reason the guy couldn’t stay healthy and basically out of the NFL before you knew it.
Daniel’s has twice the natural talent RGIII had though. I don’t think he’s a flash in the pan.
His Achilles is his very slight build but the way the QB is protected these days I’m not sure it’s relevant.
