The annual disappointed stare off into the abyss sure did begin early this season for Redskins fans.

After a wobbly start of my own to this season due to circumstances beyond my control, I’m back for another season of sharing Reality Checks for the team we all love to complain about. This week, I’ll both look back at the roller-coaster that was Philly and try to get you properly prepared for Dallas Week.
