They better be thankful we're like a MASH unit.

Injuries are all part of the game,every team has them.

Come on, what other team has its' entire O line injured? (Moses, our only starter out there, had both his ankles injured). Our left guard for most of the game was signed on Wednesday !

Think what team lost all of it's starting receiving core,your starter at RB,two starting DE's and a corner back at times two and two starting linebackers?Check out the injuries to the other teams in your own division.
All I am saying is at the NFL level injuries are affecting every team and it 's not an excuse ,it's a next man up philosophy.

That's a strawman. Besides, how many teams has an entire starting O-line out with the exception of one starter (who was playing on two bum ankles)?

How many teams has three D-linemen out for the season and another who had to leave yesterday's game early with a broken hand? We also have a starting LB on IR, too.

That's not to mention all of the injuries endured by our secondary (number one and two corners has missed time and games).

The number of injuries is simply devastating. End of story.

Most of the mistakes they made had absolutely nothing to do with injuries

Disagree. Without your starting OL you get a blocked FG, starters prevent penetration, Cousins fumble due to protection problems.

If you eliminate some big mistakes the Skins win that game despite all the injuries. That damn blocked field goal was a 10 point swing the Skins could not afford. It seemed to turn the game.

We were rolling and this killed all the momentum. Good call, this was the game changer... fucking special teams, always seems to be an issue this season. AND I forgot about Hopkins...8 starters out yesterday.

Without that play and one of the fumbles, we probably win the game.

Did Sundberg screw up the snap on that play or the missed Extra point?
Two bad snaps by Sundberg, Rose did a good job making one of them. WTF is going on with special teams?

Seems like there is a special teams fumble every week and our returners are 25th or worse in return average.

Why hasn't gruden addressed this?
I don't understand why we aren't making moves at WR and getting a guy as our 5th WR who can return kicks (RASHAD ROSS!!!!).

Agree, I think both the team and the coaching staff had an outstanding game effort. In the end the team could not come back from an unfortunate 10 point swing at the end of the first half. A freak play caused by a bad snap/hold in a rainstorm.

If you think this team did not play their best I do not think you want want to be a Redskins fan. I, for one, am amazed at the production on offense, given the state of the line. So cool it, haters.

Anyone can say that, but sometimes injuries are insurmountable. I mean yes, you miss a few people here and there throughout the year, but this is insanity now.

For a decent team whose margin for error was already pretty slim, injuries to your top players will sink the ship. It's not the number of injuries, it's who's injured. We're built around Trent and Scherff's spectacular abilities to block in space. If we don't have them we're in trouble.

It's unfortunate, but this is enough to take a team that could have been 9-7 or 10-6 and go 6-10 instead.

Not to mention a little unlucky with the schedule. We had a 3rd place schedule, yet the two non-common opponents who placed 3rd in their divisions last year just happen to be the division leaders this year (Minnesota, New Orleans).

When we were at full strength, we got the Raiders and the Chiefs. Now we're going to get Seattle, Minnesota and New Orleans with nobody healthy. On one hand you could say our destiny is in our own hands, playing all of these playoff contenders. If we met them when we were at full strength I would have said we'd have a shot. But not now.

We're a decent team but not great, and the margin for error is just too small for teams like us. Hope we don't do something stupid like clean house. Health and a few more moves, and I like us for next season. Until then, get ready for a bumpy ride.

And free Sundays! I used to carry the badge of never missing a Skins game, now I rarely ever watch.

Honestly the only thing that really keeps me tied to the Skins and the NFL is this web site.

If some year we have a SB run I will get back into but I am done burning Sundays on the Redskins.

Yup. Absolutely did not think a couple weeks ago that this season would be over in October. I want to hold out hope for next year but suddenly when I look at needs it is staggering. Our Kicker should come back healthy so forget about K for now. D-line depth, O line depth for starters. RB. TE. WR. WR. S. QB most likely. I am sorry but I already do not like our chances for next year. We are just stuck in perpetual rebuild. If we stay extremely healthy next year, and resign KC I give us a punchers chance. We need more of a foundation and some skill players at almost every position.
