I'm just giving kudos to an accurate prediction - not saying he predicted something against the odds.

It's classic Redskins - we waste half the season playing mediocre football, get our shit together for a month and then when we're in the thick of the playoff fight we lose half our d-line to the covid list. Really only one conclusion I can draw.

Fuck Dan Snyder.

I'll always be in that boat...

It is frustrating now doubt.

With Montez though, I don't think there was any guarantee he was going to play against the Cowboys, just coming off a broken jaw and not having practiced at all in over a month. He may or may not be available this weekend, but again he hasn't been on the practice field yet - to my knowledge.

There's an uptick in cases all over the planet though, so this isn't something that is isolated to WFT. Every team has been hit, some harder than others. Contrary to what some want to believe, this is just our world right now.

Yeah, 25 active players and 11 on PS alone, never mind staff having contracted it. Blaming any one player isn't constructive (how do we know he didn't contract it from, say, a staffer?), and blaming their vax status for contracting it is missing the point; vax helps at least prevent the worst effects setting in, and to some extent slowing the spreading of the virus, so its a good thing. But while it may stop you being a carrier/infected, that's not guaranteed. Everyone one should consider everyone else and get vaxxed, but I don't like the idea of forcing vaccination.
