Ron Rivera’s tenure ends on a humiliating eight-game losing streak, but there is hope in a new beginning (and the 2nd overall draft pick).

The tank continues, with a beautiful end in sight.

A magnificent 54-yard field goal by the Jets’ Greg Zuerlein with :05 remaining saved Washington from disastrous victory.

Sam Howell’s viability comes back into question after Jacoby Brissett shows him up, in relief.

Against Tua and Tyreek, Ron Rivera’s defense looked a lot like Jack Del Rio’s defense (and also a lot like chunky barf).

Dak Prescott started his Thanksgiving dinner in the end zone. Jack Del Rio’s tenure did not survive the incident.

Ron Rivera and Jack Del Rio got humiliated by some bro named Tommy DeVito.

Washington’s leaky defense wasted Sam Howell’s heroic 4th-quarter comeback in Seattle.

Thanks mostly to the continued emergence of Sam Howell, Washington maintained its disguise of respectability with a narrow victory in Foxboro.

Yet another loss turns the Commanders into active sellers at the deadline, and two stalwarts become symbols of the past.

It’s the second colossal disaster in 17 days, and Ron Rivera’s seat is on fire.

Three interceptions of a shaky Desmond Ridder propelled Washington to slump-snapping victory in Atlanta.

Utter humiliation on national TV. Again.

Sam Howell shined like a star in Philly, but a golden opportunity slipped away in overtime.

Alumni Homecoming Weekend served mainly to reunite Commanders fans with their old friends, Pain and Suffering, during a 34-point bludgeoning by the Bills.

The upstart Commanders remain undefeated with a wild comeback win at Mile High.

The Commanders beat the Arizona Cardinals in a fairly ugly but nonetheless cathartic opening to the Josh Harris era.

Brent is joined by Redskins reporter Ben Standig of The Athletic, to discuss (among other things): the team's 2020 outlook, its 10 best players, reasons for both hope and doubt on Dwayne Haskins, the over-crowded running back room, Cody Latimer's place in Ron Rivera's culture, the blurring of the line between bloggers and reporters, and sad ways to kill your quarantine.

Thoughts and observations about Project 11, Haskins' diary, and several other Redskins-related goings-on.

The Redskins finally dealt Trent Williams (to Kyle Shanahan!) moments before Day 3 started, then proceeded to add several more promising prospects, including Saadhiq Charles and Antonio Gandy-Golden.

The Redskins bagged havoc-wreaker Chase Young and game-breaker Antonio Gibson, but thus far have failed to trade Trent Williams.

A comprehensive update to my view of the Redskins after the primary phase of free agency, and with less than a week to go before Rivera's first draft.

Season 6 in the house! For this special episode, devoted Redskins fan and my third- or fourth-smartest friend Colin joined me to discuss the upcoming draft.

Ron Rivera's first free agency cycle is upon us. Let's rock and roll.

Thoughts on a few more important changes in the Redskins front office.

New head coach Ron Rivera is building a new staff with many former colleagues, and without former heir-apparent Kevin O'Connell.

We did it. We actually did it. We made Dan Snyder #FireBruceAllen.

Eagles fans took over FedEx again—and left happy again—but at least Haskins finally looked the part.

The Redskins got eliminated by the Packers. Will Bruce Allen get eliminated by Dan Snyder?

Haskins finally got a start! But it was boring and the Redskins are still bad.

Another frazzled relief appearance by Dwayne Haskins posed no threat to Kirk Cousins's superior second squad.

Kyle Shanahan and a torrential downpour spoiled Homecoming, as the Redskins never even got on the board.

The Redskins wasted a unique opportunity by juuust barely beating the worst team in modern NFL history.

Jay Gruden was relieved of his head coaching duties because he just had to go. His temporary successor is not off to a great start.

Nothing matters.

Even the debut of Dwayne Haskins (in relief) could not spark the Redskins to so much as a single touchdown against their lowly rival.

Case Keenum melted down and the Redskins fell apart on Monday Night Football. Shocker, I know.

The Redskins got embarrassed at home, by a division rival, again. This short episode is mostly just me ripping their pathetic defense.

Burgundy Blogcast returns—for some reason—to comment on a tough divisional Week 1 loss for the Redskins, and to squash any of your pathetic remaining hopes for a better future.

Nothing is really happening. And that is bad.

With nothing left to play for but pride, the Redskins opted out.

Adrian Peterson's Herculean effort and Josh Johnson's collectedness brought the Redskins to the brink of a memorable win! Alas, reality.

Jay Gruden and newcomer Josh Johnson rallied the troops for a season-saving (?) upset. The worse team lost.

No amount of injuries could excuse the degrees of apathy and ineptitude on display in this ghastly home defeat.

Colt McCoy’s leg, and my spirit, are broken.

This was a bold move with wide-ranging implications and a broad spectrum of potential consequences.

In their biggest game of the year, on their biggest stage of the year, the Redskins blew it. Again.

The Redskins saw their division lead shrink at the hands of the Texans, and more importantly lost their most expensive player, at the most important position, to another brutal injury.

Brent makes a few extra observations on the win over the Bucs, and predictions for the Texans game. The Redskins currently sit atop the NFC East.

Though not particularly impressive on offense or defense—excepting four impeccably timed takeaways—the Redskins shook off numerous injuries to capture their sixth win in Tampa.
