I just started a fake Instragram account posing as a huge Redskins fan and I'm sending messages to Snyder and Allen pointing out that Tomlin has won a Super Bowl and they should give him total control of the roster.

Whatever it is, there is a consequence for last place. There always is.
Except with the Washington Redskins.
Since Allen took over full control of football operations, the team is 59-89-1. He has a win percentage of .399. The other three NFC East teams over that stretch have a .515 win percentage.
In fact, Allen's .399 win percentage is the fifth worst in the NFL since he took over in 2010. Only the Raiders, Buccaneers, Jaguars and Browns have been worse.
He has no playoff wins.
His teams have the second-most yards per play allowed (5.during that stretch and the third-worst scoring defense (25.0 points per game). I could do this all day with bad Bruce Allen stats, but the issue isn't that I know how bad the team has been under him. The issue is that he and owner Dan Snyder don't seem aware. Or don't seem to care. There's no other explanation, because Allen's most recent news conference was a combination of platitudes and cluelessness.
"That's a fair question," Allen said in response to the many excellent and fair questions about why fans should have confidence in the current executive team. "Right now we're all 0-5," Allen said, "I don't believe anybody is hiding from that record." (Daniel Snyder did not attend the news conference, so, uh ... )
To me, the craziest part of the news conference was Allen saying, "The culture is actually damn good."
The culture is that Trent Williams, one of the highest-paid left tackles in the NFL, is giving up well over a half million dollars per game to not play for this team. Think about that. He'd rather lose millions of dollars than play for a team whose "culture is damn good."
Current Redskins players essentially have to play 16 away games. That's because the team that once had a waiting list for tickets that was decades long now sees its stadium filled with fans of the other team. Did you see what Tom Brady said after playing last week at FedEx Field?
"That was ridiculous," Brady said. "I thought it was pretty amazing. That felt like a home game."
That's the culture.
The only way to get players (and whomever the next coach is) to come there is to massively overpay them, which is what they had to do to get Landon Collins this offseason. That's the culture Allen has fostered.
It's not me, it's someone else.

A Pittsburgh FB group I'm a member of, "Fire Mike Tomlin", had a report that a Redskins jet was spotted at the Pittsburgh airport today. They even had the screengrab from Twitter with the picture.

If a trade actually takes place and the Steelers get something for sending Tomlin away...I just don't know if I'll be able to contain my joy.
BTW, the two QBs in my comparison above are the "GOAT" and Ben. One had the best coach ever, while the other had Tomlin. Brady is overrated.

Yep, and it's why he cannot be the "GOAT".
Are officials refusing to reverse their shitty calls?
Looks like PI to me. Not as blatant as the article implies, but he clearly holds the receiver's right arm.

Thomas fines $21K for hit on Rudolph.
I get that had to fine him because Rudolph was knocked out. It's a PR thing. However, I'm not really certain it was illegal, and I know it wasn't malicious. Thomas has never been a head hunter.

My defense (Bears) is on bye week, so I picked up the Panthers (3 INT 7 Sack 2 FF) for 18 points so far. I also have the Panthers' kicker, for 15 points, and Curtis Samuel for 19.
Go Panthers!

Think we managed to pull off an entertaining game in London for a change. Sacks, Turnovers, TD's, Ints (by Jameis), all the good stuff.
And a Panther's W, of course. All the same, glad it wasn't OUR home game.
Congrats to the Bucs for shutting down CMC for the most part. They forgot about the rest of our offense... but take what you can get I suppose.
