Well if history repeats itself it wouldn't be that long. I'm 22 now. The Redskins went to their first Super Bowl in '72, which was 6 years after it was announced that was the name of the championship game, but they didn't win their first Super Bowl until '82, so using that timeframe from 6 years from now the Skins might make the Super Bowl in 2017 (I'll go 6 years from the date of this year's SB) but they won't win it until 2027, which by that time I'll be 38. That still is a lengthy drought though, I don't want to wait another 16 years. The Cowboys/Eagles/Giants could have multiple opportunities at more trophies by then.

But then again, the 'Skins SB drought could last decades, or just a couple years. We just need to right the ship, I'd rather be a team that wins multiple SB's than win just 1 in the next couple decades.
