Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the NFL
Not a team was undefeated, once the Steelers fell.
The NFC East was still too soon to declare,
In hopes that Washington would still be there.
The Redskins fans were tossing & turning in their beds,
While visions of a post-season danced in their heads.
And Alex Smith with his injuries, from that 2018 sack,
The fans are still in shock after his miracle comeback.
When out on the media there arose such a clatter,
It’s still 2020, turn off the news, there’s too much chatter.
Away from the news, sports took over in a flash,
But Oh, how the Redskins still managed to get bashed.
The season started with a new coach in town,
But it wasn’t enough to keep Norman around.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But team sex scandal, and names left to smear.
With a little old name change, yea, what a great call,
I knew in that moment it would change nothing at all.
More rapid than the past, it was the center of the blame,
Snyder whistled, & shouted, & then dropped the name!
No, Gruden! No, Guice! No, Larry and Peterson!
On, Ron! On, Chase! On, Julie and Gibson!
To the top of the office, to those with the ball,
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!
As stadiums were empty, and cheerleaders in masks,
The 1 and 3 Redskins were looking like trash.
Haskins was replaced & Kyle Allen got the start,
It’s the Battle of the Beltway & we were falling apart.
And then Week 5, Allen took a game ending hit,
Man, that Alex Smith, he will never quit.
By Week 9, Smith got his 1st start in 728 days,
But that late personal foul was a rookie haze.
The Bengals in town wanting a second win this season,
Anther leg injury, FedEx field seems to be the reason.
A bundle of emotions as Smith got the start,
By Week 10, this team was playing with heart.
Happy Thanksgiving, it was a football treat,
Everyone’s happy with a Cowboys sweep.
That 4-7 Washington team now controlled the East,
It’s not pretty, but inch by inch, Smith is a beast.
There was a Wednesday 3:40pm NFL game,
RG3 was throwing to Dez Bryan, 2020 is to blame.
Week 12 we were off to Pittsburgh & put up a fight,
Ending their perfect season, it just felt right.
On to AZ, we couldn’t play San Francisco,
Because Science says California is risk yo!
A lot of old faces, but Chase Young had a day,
Man, that Washington Defense can really play!
Haskins had to start the game against Seattle,
He had two interceptions and friend who tattled.
After the loss there was a social media HoHoHo!
Without a mask, in a strip club, NO!NO!NO!
There are two games left, we still have to fight,
And with two more wins, the playoffs stay in sight.
Now the season is back in Haskins hands,
A Christmas miracle is needed by the fans.
Ron fighting cancer and Smith back to playing ball,
The fight in this team, really says it all.
Keep wearing your burgundy and gold,
Because singing HAIL to Redskins will never get old.
