ANALYSIS/OPINION:
The Washington Redskins’ season starts Sunday against the New York Giants.
It’s a six-game season. As hard as it may seem to digest — particularly after Sunday’s embarrassing 44-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers — the playoffs are still there for the taking for this team.
That was Jay Gruden’s message Monday when he met with reporters.
“We have a six-game stretch here where we have everything we want to accomplish still available to us,” he said. “It’s something that hasn’t happened around here for some time.”
Well, some time is just actually three years ago.
