(Matt McClain - FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
I know I’m not breaking any news when I saw this has been a bad few years for the Redskins, but still, I sometimes feel the need to quantify that a bit more, and to allow fans to accuse me of being a hater.
So here are some horrendously depressing lists.
Longest Playoff Drought
Buffalo (1999)
Cleveland (2002)
Oakland (2002)
St. Louis (2004)
Jacksonville (2007)
Tampa Bay (2007)
Washington (2007)
Longest Division Title Drought
Cleveland (1989)
Detroit (1991)
Buffalo (1995)
Jacksonville (1999)
Washington (1999)
Fewest Playoff Berths Since 1999
Buffalo 0
Cleveland 1
Detroit 1
Houston 1
Arizona 2
Jacksonville 2
Washington 2
(The leaders are Indianapolis with 10, New England and Philadelphia with 9, and Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Green Bay with 8.)
Fewest Division Titles Since 1999
Buffalo 0
Cleveland 0
Detroit 0
Jacksonville 0
Washington 0
Houston 1
New York Jets 1
(The leaders are New England with 9, Indianapolis with 7, and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with 6.)
Longest Drought Since Scoring 35 Points in the Regular Season
Washington 92 games
Cincinnati 41
Cleveland 34
Tennessee 25
Kansas City 21
St. Louis 21
Indianapolis 20
Minnesota 20
Arizona 19
Tampa Bay 17
(Every other team reached 35 points at least once this season.)
(Also, as The Washington Times’s Dan Daly pointed out after I published this, the last time the Skins reached 35 points came in overtime. If you exclude OT, their streak is actually 97 games.)
