After 20 years of Cerrato/Allen (particularly these last two years of Allen), it is hard to going back to giving a damn. I had been a devoted fan and follower of the team for 45+ years and had never felt that beaten down, dispirited, and uninterested in how or what they did. Allen's complete obliviousness to the fan base finally sucked all enthusiasm out of me. For the first time since I was eight years old, I just did not give a rat's ass what the team did.
There is now a brief heartbeat to my fandom again. The GTFO'ing of Allen and the hiring of RR (and now JDR) has me saying "Okay. I'll watch for a bit but I need some wins, some solid moves, SOME F'ING G/D PROFESSIONALISM FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS OR THE FIRST F'ING CRISIS, before I invest again."
I don't know if a single hire can turn this sh** show around, but I am willing to reengage - but not necessarily drink any kool aid - and see how it plays out. Be warned, my interest is tenuous at the moment and it won't take much for me to say "Nope. I am out" because I have cared too much, too often only to be kicked in the balls repeatedly by the Snyder/Cerrato/Allen "F' you fans!" attitude of this team -- No. F' you Daniel F'ing Snyder. I will not get ball-kicked anymore so prove to me that I should even be in the same G.D. room with this G.D. team.
TLDR: For now, I am back, but I am just looking for an excuse to nope out.

I'd prob. be in the same boat after 45 years, but my drug of choice is sports, and Redskins football in particular. I still watched all 60 min. of the Cowboys game even though I knew the outcome halfway in. For me it was "I have to wait 8 months to see the Redskins play again, I want my full 60 one last time."
Glad to have you back even if it is only for a bit.
