Bigger deal for Redskins fans

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 27, 2018

Yeah - we care. And we understand the implications of the power struggle that Allen apparently won and what that means for the future direction of the franchise.

I think it is hard to overstate how badly this fan base want Allen out and a real new direction for the franchise.

— Martin Collinson (@redskinsfanuk) December 27, 2018

Fair. Here's my point: If I walk around the Skins locker room and ask players about yesterday's news, 90 percent of the players wouldnt know what I was talking about. Maybe more.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 27, 2018

Some of this is also probably just the hyper speed of stories at Redskins Park lately. We never even got into Swearinger reaction bc of the firings. That’s crazy.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 27, 2018

And the reality is there could be more and bigger bombshell stories next week

Gruden on how the news of business executives being fired impacts Sunday: “Not one bit. I had nothing to do with any of that. It’s unfortunate.” #Redskins

Every single reply to this simple press conference Twitter post is about the job status of the team President and/or coach. Every single one. I don’t know how the organization moves on from this. I don’t know how the fan base moves on from this without hearing from the owner. https://t.co/CJoWzgfcyM

Time for a splash hire to re-energize/fool the fan base into believe things will change. Throw a whole lotta money at a big name, give him final say over the roster (supposedly) and declare it’s a new day. It won’t work, but it’ll give my dude @john_keim something to write.

I’ll tell ya this. There will be a familiar name back in the building soon. Tata for now. It’s fun not covering team for anyone. The stress level is all time low. Stay tuned

For what it's worth, in my 16 years in DC Brian Lafemina was the only member of the #Redskins front office to ever reach out to me unsolicited to talk about the team, its fans and its standing in the community https://t.co/FDzRte5l8Q

What's crazy to me is a multibillion-dollar company trots Jay Gruden out weekly to be its face without EVER offering any execs to answer questions during big issues...meanwhile the team will close out its 1st season in my life with ZERO home sellouts this weekend. #FireBruceAllen

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said If they played next week then tight end Jordan Reed might have been able to play. But the real key for Reed is that he'll be able to work on strengthening rather than rehabbing for the first time in three years. "Having that will be beneficial...

WR Maurice Harris is back. We’ll see if he’s technically limited when Gruden speaks after practice. Has been in concussion protocol. #redskins https://t.co/tgRkFgsGFO

— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) December 27, 2018

I'm assuming this is the spot on the team's website reserved for Rueben Foster (who wears No. 50 for the team now as @michaelpRTD mentioned) and it's a technical error. Never seen that happen before, though.

— Jake Russell (@_JakeRussell) December 27, 2018

Apparently he's had the locker for a while and I am bad at noticing new things. Carry on.

Peterson said he would "definitely love" to come back to the Redskins, and Guice's presence isn't an obstacle. "It's always good to have a couple backs, and have different styles."

Commercial just now on 94.7:

“Come out and see DJ Swearinger, Ha Ha Clinton Dix and the Washington Redskins face NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday!”

Any direction the #Redskins decide to go this off-season will not be a new direction if Bruce Allen is still in house.

Was wondering what the #Redskins franchise record is for Most Guys To Throw A Pass In A Single Season. Four players, of course, have thrown one this season: Alex Smith, Colt McCoy, Mark Sanchez & Josh Johnson. The answer is: *11* by the 1933 #Redskins, during their Boston days. pic.twitter.com/iB12HppoLd

Cooley still praising Flanagan. On pod: "He's more than just a guy… He is—worst case—your 2nd tight end, who can play 40 snaps a game next year… Essentially, in this rotation world of offense…Flanagan's a starter. He's a 50% player."

There's no such thing as a 3-year process to get to the playoffs in the NFL. The Browns went 0-16 last season and they're 3 OT games away from winning the AFC North. The Colts competing is not a surprise. https://t.co/Ga0V6C6UIP
