Some Perspective on the Washington Commanders’ Three Game Losing Streak

An update on the timeline of successful franchise re-sets in the salary cap era

www.hogshaven.com

The main reason that fans are taking the string of losses so hard is that they got sucked into believing that the rebuild was way ahead of schedule when the Commanders racked up wins against teams like the Bengals, Cardinals, Panthers and Giants. The reality is, only one team in the past three decades has won a playoff game in the first year of a franchise re-set. And that team didn’t even have a winning regular season record. If the Commanders can make it to the postseason at 9-8 and win a Wild Card game, they will have achieved something that no other team has done in the salary cap era.

The median and modal time to the first playoff win following a franchise re-set was exactly 3 seasons. Five out of eleven teams hit the 3 year mark. Only two out of 11 teams took longer than 3 seasons to get their first playoff win.


now we have fans on here thinking we would get a playoff win this year . its been done once since 1994 (salary cap era ) we are in a rebuild and we need to remember that

A lot of folks here and in Commanders' Nation spoke of the inadequacies of the prior coaching staff. Others insisted that there were pockets of talent here that could be tapped into (TM, Dotson at the time, Howell at the time, the defensive front and an O-lineman or two) so at minimum there was some hope. However, even if we completely dismiss the hopeful masses...

Tell that to those who are paid to do the job...

We as fans and media were like ski jumpers that got way to far over our skis. Everyone was excited after a few weeks. Some had JD5 in the HOF already. He may get there one day but as you mentioned dad we still have a lot holes to fill. From 4 wins to 9 this year would be a hell of a turn around.

Replacing over half the roster is a rebuild no matter what DQ : AP call it . I will reference George Carlin about the word games
