How do you measure rock-bottom for a team as bad as the Washington Redskins?
Is it going 15-straight quarters without a touchdown? Is it coming out of a bye week and getting stomped at home by one of the worst teams in the league? Is it getting the ball on your opponent’s 16 and 27-yard line on consecutive drives and turning it into just six yards and three points?
The first half against the New York Jets on Sunday was just about as bad of a half of football as you can expect to see in the NFL. The defense was porous and multiple blown coverages in the secondary allowed Jets players to run rampant downfield. The offense was no better, and the Redskins totaled just two first downs and seven first-half penalties.
It’s been a common theme all season that this is about as low as things can get in Washington, but each week, the Redskins seem to find new ways to disappoint. There is no sure way to measure failure, but they might need to come up with one soon in Washington.
