All I know is the Redskins of old were perennial last place finishers in the division. We've definitely made progress under McCloughan but there's plenty more work to do.
I'm really not sure what anyone expected after just 2 seasons, but back to back winning seasons is a good start and something I'm sure all of you would have signed on for at the start.
My question here is if you start the season 9-0 but finish at 9-7? Is that really a winning season?
Not trying to piss on anyones Wheaties. But was listening to Pat Kirwan the other day and his theory is "You are as good as your last 4 to 6 games. That is the team you are today. Not who you were at the start of the season, but who you are today." Is 2-4 a more accurate reflection? Or is 8-7-1?

We started 0 and 2.

9-7 last year and won four straight to end the year. We definitely stunk it up a few times this year on the way out, but I think we're a much improved team over the 2015 version. Not sure I buy that theory by Pat...

Yes more wins than losses equals a winning season, it's simple math.

8-7-1 is a winning season, but I will not argue with the theory that you are as good as your last 4-6 games.
The Cowboys, for example, finished the season 2-2...

In the famous words of Mr. Parcells: “You are what your record says you are.”
Your final record shows who you are over the course of a season. Maybe it's different in the extreme examples of going 8-0 then 0-8, or thereabouts. Even there, you have shown the talent and ability to win half your games in a 16 game season. Each year is a new year, how many "worsts to first" (and vice versa) does it take to prove that?
We were a 9-7 team last year and are an 8-7-1 team this year - that's who we are right now, and it's an improvement over when we were a 4-12 team or when we finished fourth in the division 8 out of 11 years between 2004 and 2014.

Who the fuck is pat kirwan?
Lol skins certainly moving in the right direction. Another winning season and a core of solid talent to boot. We are doing ok...firing a bad d coordinator is only gonna help. Good luck to you in the playoffs, y'all should do just fine.
