Does anyone know if the skins are for sure eliminated from playoff chances even if we go 8-8? If we are, I wonder if Gruden rests Kirk Cousins for the remainder of the year so he doesn't risk a bad injury behind our makeshift O-line. But if he did that i would think that would imply some kind of commitment to Kirk? Is it wishful thinking?
Yes the skins are done. It sucks because the best thing that can actually happen is that we don't win another game but I'm guessing the skins go 3-0.

We will be favored in all 3 games so that means we'll probably lose

I'm pretty sure we're mathematically eliminated from the PO race.

I think you bring up a really good point: if Jay is confident he'll be here next year, and they're going to be able to sign Kirk, yeah I say sit Kirk, Trent and Moses.
But I'm not sure Jay is in position to do that, he would need a lot of confidence in himself and the support the FO would give him.

Re: Red birds pre game

Some stats/info from Cooley and Kevin ...

Cards are 0-4 when losing turn over battle
Cards are 4-0 when scoring 20 pts or more
Cards are with out both Tackles and a Guard
Cards are on their 3rd string QB (Palmer, Stanton now Gabbert) and RB (Johnson, Peterson now ???)

----------------------

Put me in the "I hope we lose" camp ... im conflicted but I think Jay is decent so I feel like I have to choose a better draft position or Jay.

Putting us in best position to draft the best possible Cousins replacement is most important to me.

And I bet we still lose somehow, I'm telling you it's the life of a skins fan

Re: Red birds pre game

I saw a red bird perched on a tree branch when I was little. I threw a rock at it.

-----------------
Kerrigan is a good player, but somewhat limited. Him always being available to dress is incredibly valuable. Worth the 13th or so draft pick he was imo.

Per https://www.rotowire.com/football/latestnews.htm :

"Brown (illness/toe/Achilles/hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals."

Ok pal I think it's enough, you can stay home... sucks though.

Me thinks the Redskins will pull off a win...28 to 24 over the Cardinals.

Re: Red birds pre game

Ill suggest the Elephant in the Room that everyone is wondering in the back of their minds:

If we suffer another 30 point loss, could Gruden be fired after the game? I'm hearing a lot of chatter on Twitter and stuff that Dan is not happy with Jay right now and another humiliating defeat could push him (Dan) over the edge.

I think it would be best if they know Jay is gone, to wait until the end of the season. Whether Jay is good or bad as a HC he is a man and he deserves his dignity. I don't think it is the same situation that the Giants were in...

Re: Red birds pre game

I never once thought about jay being fired this year. We will win the next three and go 8-8. It will screw our draft but everything will be fine. We will fire the defensive coaching staff and bring in the Cincinnati staff.

And what has the Bengals defense done better than what we got?
