28. Dallas Cowboys, Bruce Allen Firing & the Bright Future Ahead

Offseason Champions - Washington Redskins

It is the bittersweet end to the Redskins season… we went out, just like we came in… with a tough loss to a division rival. This final game against the Cowboys was an absolute beatdown, Dallas was clinging to the hope of still making the playoffs (barring an Eagles loss), and they came out swinging, making this team look even worse than they were, dismantling the Redskins defense and closing their season with a 47-16 Win. In a game that was almost completely overshadowed by what will come next for this franchise, including some accurate breaking news from legit reporters, the typical here-say and rumors from people with “Sources”, and what was being reported on the National level; it was hard to concentrate on just the game at hand… The Redskins went into it down many of their notable starters and as far as I could tell, no desire to win the game at all… Both teams started flat and for the first two quarters the Redskins were actually in the game, but after halftime the defense fell apart (as usual) and couldn't stop much of anything, and the offense couldn’t get into a rhythm or get anything going. After this final loss, the Washington Redskins finish the 2019 regular season with an abysmal record of 3-13… But there were some bright spots coming out of the game, our Rookie receiving core (sans Terry McLaurin) played exceptionally well and are making a case for themselves to remain as the teams starters going into next season; Montez Sweat also played really well and finally showed signs that he may be the guy we thought he would be going into the season and finally one of the most positive things to come from losing, is that the team secured the second overall pick in the 2020 draft and potentially a chance to Draft the best all around athlete coming out of College: Chase Young (assuming that he declares)… In Episode Twenty-Eight, I cover the good, the bad and the ugly of the Redskins final regular season game of the 2019 regular season against the Dallas Cowboys… I provide a quick overview of the game, my thoughts on the defensive struggles and how it all stems from coaching, the terrific day our dynamic group of young receivers had without Terry McLaurin even on the field and I discuss the players who have shown enough this season to deserve contract extensions and the right to come back next season… I conclude my new ongoing saga that was “the Bruce Allen Firing Watch”, it went much shorter than the “Trent Williams Situation”, but the outcome was exactly what we’ve all been waiting for… I close the podcast with a deep dive into the changes that were made so far, during the first day of the team’s offseason, and a look ahead into what will come next for this franchise… As always, enjoy my unsolicited and unrealistically optimistic opinions on all things Washington Redskins in this Episode covering the 2019 Week Seventeen Loss to the Dallas Cowboys and the Aftermath that followed one of our worst seasons in recent history… this season has been full of ups and downs, unfortunately a lot more downs then I would have liked, but not once did I stop enjoying being a fan and doing this podcast, it has been an absolute labor of love and I truly hope that you are enjoying it… If you are not already, please subscribe, leave a rating or review and tell a friend, it really helps to reach a wider audience and I would be very grateful… if you don't already, please follow me on Twitter @HTTRChamps and as always, #HTTR --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/offseasonchampions/message
