Team president Bruce Allen said Tuesday the Redskins are close to being a playoff team, saying they have to find the “right ingredients to get over that hump.”
Speaking to reporters in Mobile, Alabama, at the Senior Bowl, Allen addressed a variety of topics centered around the team — including the discontent of the fan base. Over the last month, fans have called for Allen’s firing on social media with the hashtag “#FireBruceAllen” and the Redskins dealt with attendance issues throughout the season.
Allen pointed to the Redskins being two games out of the NFC East as evidence the team was close.
