Final Thoughts

And that’s a wrap on the 2020 Washington Football Team season.  The training camp practices began last summer as a pandemic continued to plague a nation.  The team went on to win their first game of the season, but it was a struggle in the weeks to come.  The struggles gave way to a winning streak and then it was the triumph no one expected – an NFC East championship.

A playoff loss has brought us to this moment.  A season that captured our collective imaginations suddenly ended and it left us wanting more.  Free agency is just around the corner and before you can say “spring”, the NFL Draft will be underway.  Changes to the roster will make the NFC East champions even better and the 2021 season will be here with plenty of excitement.

Articles in the coming weeks and months from yours truly will center on the roster, free agency, the draft, and front office decisions.  Can the front office and head coach continue to build this roster into a Super Bowl contender?  This team found ways to get it done in recent weeks, and playing meaningful games in January should now be a goal each year.

For now, and for the next eight months, we can label this team as an NFC East division champion.  Enjoy it, Washington Football Team fans. Your dedication to this organization has paid many dividends in recent weeks, and the Washington Football Team has given you a glimpse of the future.
