The Washington Redskins

  The Washington Redskins are a football team in the NFL. Originally they were named The Boston Redskins when founded in 1932. They are located out of Washington D.C., but their home field, specifically, is stationed in Landover, Maryland. This is where their football organization plays all of their "home" football games. Many fans and sports analyzers refer the field as "FedEx Field" because that is the name of the owner gave it. During the history of the team's existence, they have had some great times, decent times, and some very bad times. Even though the Skins may have had some rough years of bad football, they have still won three NFL championships.

   Last year, 2013, the Redskins experienced an awful year of football. The finished the season with a record of 3-13, with three wins and thirteen losses. This season, in the years of 2014-2015, the organization looks to bounce back on a positive note. During the off-season, The Redskins signed a few veteran players to improve both their offense and defense. The owner, Dan Snyder, took the initiative to spend a little money and acquire Desean Jackson and Andre Roberts, both wide receivers, to add speedy firepower to their struggling offense. In addition, they also signed Safety, Ryan Clark, to help improve the defense. With the leadership and skills of Washington's healthy quarterback, Robert Griffin lll, and outstanding running back, Alfred Morris, Redskins fans are hoping for an above average season.

   Already, after the first game of the new 2014 year, The Redskins have not given their fans much hope of a good season. They held their season opener against the Houston Texans whom finished last in the 2013 NFL season. Turnovers and costly penalties were the ultimate reasons the Redskins football team fell short of the win. Although it was only the first game of the new season, it is clear that each player has things to work on to become a winning football team. The Redskins plan to bounce back this Sunday as they play their season opener against the struggling Jaguars. Most of their fans, as well as myself, hope to see a pleasant change in the outcome of this upcoming game.
