We have a 35 year old rb and sit the 15th overall pick for scrubs.

I'm calling it now, the 49ers run for 200 next week.

I’m not convinced Miami was tanking,if they were why pull Rosen and try and give your team a lift? Doesn’t make any sense,just because that last play was a dud doesn’t mean anything,It means the player had to be in on dropping the ball and I don’t believe he would do it.And yes If he caught the ball he would’ve been tackled, but sometimes you just have the right defense.If They were truly trying to lose the game they would’ve left Rosen in there.
But I do agree it will not be close next week

I think the front office is tanking, the players are not. Who knows about the coaches. That last play on the 2 point try was a suspect call in that situation. Fitz was carving up the Redskins while the Redskin offense was collecting 3 and outs. If you have all the momentum at the time why not kick the extra point and try to win in OT?

Players and coaches are going to play to win unless you are in your final season of a Snyder regime. Flores is a first year coach he can't afford to establish a culture of players not playing up to their ability.

I thought the same thing...more on the front office I believe than the players and coaches.

Also, anyone else here really glad the Skins didn't trade for Rosen like a lot of us thought we should?? He does not show much promise...I know he hasn't had a lot to work with, but I don't even see a glimpse of big upside.

The Redskin victory was not that costly. If you look at the tie breaking system the victory only dropped them to 3rd on the draft board, behind the two winless teams, and it is obvious Cincinnati is one of the best 0-6 teams in NFL history. 4 of their losses were by 6 points or less. They will start winning some games.
I still think the Redskins will get pick #2.

I think the coaches in fairness to the players had to put in Fitz cause Rosen was not functionable. But I seriously question that last call. Apparently the player had never even practiced that play. Why not go right back after Norman? He's pure garbage. I think the players wanted to win. Not sure about the coaches. Had Miami won they'd probably have a pissed off owner.
