Re: Is there any possibility the Redskins can win 13 games in 2019?

Time for a new edition of Offseason Fun Facts! Let's distract ourselves from the reality our team was trying to make moves for Joe Flacco.

The Redskins have just completed their 20th season of ownership under Dan Snyder. In that span, the Redskins have won the division 3 times (1999, 2012, and 2015), made the playoffs 5 times (1999, 2005, 2007, 2012, 2015), and finished 3rd or worse in the division 15 times (almost split, 7 times in 3rd, 8 times in 4th). Our best seasonal record under DS is 10-6, achieved 3 times (1999, 2005, 2012). The only major NFL award anybody has won under Dan Snyder was RG3 - Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2012.

For the purposes of this argument I won't include ties as it makes things more complex, and a tie is neither a win nor a loss (and we also have 28 of them, most from the 60's or earlier when OT wasn't established yet. Since 1972 we have tied twice, once in '97 and once in 2013. Before 1972 we tied 26 times. In 1974 OT was established by the NFL.

Before Dan Snyder our all-time regular season winning percentage (ties excluded) was at .528 (461-411). During Dan Snyder's tenure he has achieved a .435 winning percentage (139-179), which leads us to our current all-time regular season winning percentage of .504 (600-590).

Which means, if we achieve ten losses next season, our all-time winning percentage would dip to .502 (606-600). If we go 3-13, it would drop to .500 (603-603).

If our pursuit of mediocre quarterbacks is to be believed, there stands a real chance DS would be in charge of the operation that took our all-time winning percentage from .528 to .500 in the span of 2 decades.

And if you're interested in some light statistics, here's where I sourced my info:

And btw if this post made you sad, don't look up who owns the best all-time regular season winning percentage, there's a shitty answer for that one too.
