We have sucked for so long (minus a year or two here or there) that it takes something magical to make it even worse...

Well today, the Bruce Allen Press Conference

Some of the highlights:

On if it would be a benefit to have someone like A.J. Smith at Redskins Park full-time:

“You know, the technology today, if you’re in Hawaii, you can watch the game tape as quickly as I can watch it here at Redskin Park. And, because we have telephones in Hawaii, we can have a conversation immediately after the game.

On why he believes the organization is in better shape now than when he inherited it:

“Well, I think we’ve done a lot of things as an organization that have improved, but we’re going to be based on our win-loss record on the football field. It’s hard to stand here and tell you that 4-12 was a good season. I couldn’t even try to do that. It was as frustrating as it can be, and week to week, it eats away at your core when you lose. But we’re going to make sure everyone understands that that’s not acceptable and that everybody is working together in order to get success on the football field and off the football field. I do think our Charitable Foundation does a fantastic job. We’re winning off the field, but we’ve got to start winning on the field.”

On fixing the organization:

“It goes back to what I said earlier. It’s good players, good coaching, good chemistry, that is the winning formula. As I said earlier, I was pleased that the team fought together, and winning the Philadelphia game, although it was just one win, it was an important win, it’s a division win. The previous year we didn’t win a division game. Our team was competitive in our division games and the Dallas win and the Philly game, although only two, is a step in the right direction and our players fought in the division games. So I do trust that the players were trying. I do trust that the coaches were preparing them. We do need to make obviously improvements across the board and that’s what today and the next month and the month after that we’ll do.
