We're being outscored 21:7 by their linemen.

good god, what are they thinking

Unlikely that he'll sign a multi-year contract.  He really needs to go to a team where he can boost his stats.  Maybe the Raiders.

I don't think people are blaming him for the season.  He's doing the best he can.  He's not a franchise QB and the lack of one is the main reason wht this team hasn't won for years.  That's not on his shoulders.  I think he's a decent backup.  But they got to find that guy. 

He's one step removed from being recruited out of the stands during the pregame warmups to come in and play quarterback.  People are treating him like he's Jared Goff.  He's only playing because people in control haven't been able to find someone better.  And the offense in not one player away from being good, or even average.

I'm not sure how Heinicke gets the blame for this season, as if we were all counting on him to take the team to the next level.  He gets paid about half of what the punter makes.  He plays his heart out on every down.  To be honest, we're lucky to have him. 

I love threads where no one is quite good enough to be the WFT quarterback.

Rodgers doesn't have a no trade clause, but GB isn't going to trade him to another NFC team. And besides that, Rodgers seems like the kind of guy who would have a temper tantrum if he got traded to a team he didn't want to play for and would retire or just refuse to play.

I can't imagine State Farm running Rodgers ads at every commercial break if he played for WFT, especially with the ongoing ethical revelations.  His brand is way to valuable to be associated with this mess.

Hmmm.  He's a vested veteran on a one year contract, so there is a (small) cap hit with no offsetting money savings.  Not likely this will favorably change the offensive output enough to make a difference.  I don't get it.

DC is too large of a market. 
 

That said if they did move a team is a virtual lock they’d get another team to DC fairly quickly.

It would be fun to watch Dan run a failing team in a small market.  I'm not so sure that the NFL wouldn't be happy to move Dan to StL in settlement of the lawsuit (StL would probably prefer cash), and push the Ravens on DC.  The combined Baltimore and DC television markets have approximately the same number of households as Chicago, so it's not a ridiculous proposition.  I don't know a ton about the DC market, but my college roommate lived in NOVA and we would sometimes stay at his house and shoot up to Baltimore for a baseball game or the Preakness.  I don't recall it being a big deal.  But I will defer to the locals for insight on whether the Redskins market would adopt the Ravens as their home team.

Can't wait to snag my Coldplay tickets. 

If nothing else, I've learned something from this debacle.  I had no clue that Coldplay was still around.  They actually had a decent number of views for their last song on youtube, so good for them.

The bingo caller wasn’t Marvin Lewis.....Marvin Lewis was the bengals coach. Sherman Smith was the bingo caller. 

oops!  Actually, I think Sherman Smith was the running backs coach and Sherman Lewis was the bingo caller.

Nothing has changed. How oblivious do they think we are? 

Well, I remember that some of the fans here were drooling over Jim Zorn and his cutting edge techniques, like having the QBs play dodgeball at training camp.  And again when Snyder stole Marvin Lewis from his job calling Bingo at a senior center to call plays for the Skins in place of Zorn.  So, yeah, the fans pretty max out on the oblivious scale.

This just hurts my inner core.

Just wondering. Is there anything left for Snyder to screw up?

Let's face it guys and girls. The team ain't going nowhere, I ain't going nowhere, and almost every single one of you ain't going nowhere. You know why? because deep down we all still care, and next year might just be the year that they turn this ****show around.

Daniel Snyder is 7 years younger than me.  The odds are overwhelming that I'll never see the team turned around.  Maybe a hobby is a better way to spend Sundays.

This has the potential to be the most WFT game ever.

I find it hard to point at one aspect of this team and assign the blame to it.  We're misfiring on all cylinders.

If the Eagled beat us on Saturday, then week 17 will be much more interesting for several big market teams, which means higher TV ratings.

But the NFL wouldn't throw games for the sake of ratings, would they?

According to inside sources, because of Odell Beckham's multiple flagrant fouls against Carolina, the NFL has decided to suspend Teddy Bridgewater for week 16.

You have a link for that?

The only scheduling differencing between us and the others would be us playing the other last place teams which should in theory favor us

You got me Brave (no link - well, I didn't look for one).

 

But I distinctly remember reading the NFC East Blog to see how our schedule was rated.  And more than once, our degree of difficulty was the highest in The Division.  

Actually, there are two differences:

1) as noted, we get to play the other last place teams in the conference, which favors us;

2) we don't get to play ourselves, and everyone else in the division get to play us twice.  For Dallas, that's a 16 game swing in their favor.

...

 

1.  Dallas will be getting Greg Hardy back just in time to make a playoff push, and we are the only divisional team that will play him.  Not just once, were the only team that will see him AT ALL

...

At first I thought there wasn't much to this particular conspiracy theory, but then I checked previous years' schedules to see how common it was for the Cowboys not to play either the Giants or Eagles in the last six games.  I almost gave up, but it did happen in 1987 (however, they did play both Washington and the St. Louis Cardinals, so they did have two divisional games in their last six).  And assuming Hardy gets another two games knocked off at the appeal, the Giants and Eagles are still safe (as is Goodell's other best buddy, Robert Kraft).  I must change the status of this conspiracy theory from "somewhat suspicious" to "legit".

Why do the 30 owners of teams not in NYC allow meaningful aspects of the game - officiating, suspensions, to be carried out solely by people who live in NYC?  Are the owners so spineless that they can't demand that all substantive operations of the NFL be moved to a neutral location.  And make sure that location gets a even variety broadcasts from all markets.

That play still causes steam to come out my ears when I watch it. It was so amazingly obvious that his elbow was down before he crossed the plane and unless he managed to grow an extra hand on the top of his arm, there was no physically possible way the ball could have crossed before his elbow hit. ****ing amazing.

If the NFL was serious about accurate officiating, it could easily sync an exact location of the ball relative to the goal line with the video feed by embedding sensors in the ball.  Instead it relies on cameras at an angle to the goal line and referees who are blocked from seeing the ball as the runner goes down.

I always love how the refs run up to the runner 10 seconds after the play is over to see where the ball is, as if the runner is on the honor system.

We deserve more. We deserve to know where the organization went wrong, where we are heading, what's the plan. Anything at this point.  The fan base is hurting and he chooses to completely avoid the situation. It's irresponsible. Even the Jets and the mess they are, Idzik still  at least had the guts to speak

By May, the trees will be full of leaves, the ladies will be wearing short skirts, and the fan base will be wondering how we possibly could have gotten Marcus Mariota for only 2 firsts, a second, Snydie's yacht and a cheerleader swap with the Jets.  

Since the conferences changed to four team divisions in 2002, the Skins have been in last place 6 times (including one tie with the Cowboys and one three-way tie with the Cowboys and Giants).  Only Spurrier avoided a last place finish - true to his luck as head coach, Zorn managed an undisputed last place effort with an 8-8 record.  Overall record 77 - 109.
