What a difference 3 years can make.

Let’s face it – in ‘football time’, 3 years can be an eternity.

It was 2009, and Jim Zorn was trying his best to get out of DC with some shred of self-respect, with only partial success. In his 2nd and final season, Zorn’s Redskins had won just 4 games while being relegated to the basement of the NFC East. Fans were in outright revolt, their once heralded franchise the laughing stock of the NFL. The Redskins sported the 26th ranked...

I’m going to say something that is entirely illogical and counter-intuitive.

Sunday’s road clash against the St. Louis Rams is a crucial game for the Washington Redskins.
