Dan Snyder is an alien from another planet. Just clueless in every way. At least this made me laugh. Who in the world opens a press conference on January 2nd with "Happy Thanksgiving". Unbelievable. https://t.co/xuPce7AF0O

The Redskins missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season after finishing last in the NFC East with a 3-13 record. As the Redskins enjoy their offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles face the Seattle Seahawks at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs.
