OT: Washington Redskins 2018 Season Vol. 5: Shards and puddles (7-9)

[CapitalsCupReality]

Take the fastest route out of Smith’s contract capwise, trade Silverback and Kerrigan, and trade or cut Brown, Norman and Reed. Trade down as much as possible and continue adding young, big boys to the roster. Tank next year hard and then snag a QB at the top of the 2020 draft. At that point we should have some depth and a ton of cap space to add some solid veterans. Stay away from any huge FA contracts.

With two draft classes of players and a top end rookie QB, the Redskins could be 18 games away from having an exciting, young roster.

Staying in mediocre land is pointless. Just take a gander down the road at Les Boulez.

The next 5 year plan. Debacle.

The next 5 year plan. Debacle.

They’ve never done a plan that extends beyond a season or two. That’s why they still suck. The Bama DLs, Scherf, Moses, and Guice are the new core. By the time we’re good Kerrigan and Silverback will be dunzo. They don’t have a QB, a coach or a GM. Gruden is OK but you can’t go “win now” around Colt McCoy in 19. It’s a losing recipe unless you take your medication next year and aim for the 2020/2021 seasons. They actually have some young studs who should be in their prime then. Anyone who will be on the decline should be moved for futures if at all possible.

The Redskins could be good in short order but they need to keep building the lines and they need a viable QB/coach combo. I figured AS would give them a much needed competitive window but that ship sailed when his body got destroyed in year 1. If they keep their aging veterans, sign some stopgap garbage and don’t face the music in the front office they will be bad in perpetuity...

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Short order? I’m not buying that. Don’t see any kind of quick fix. The next QB they draft won’t be ready to win for years if ever.

 

[Calicaps]

If the Caps' story has taught me anything it's that management is the key. Even great talent with bad management = failure. I don't follow the Skins, but I read this thread enough to know that the franchise is appallingly managed. No amount of great scouting/drafting will matter until that changes.

This is the depressing reality we have been living in for a while now....

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Predictions?

Derek Henry goes for 200+ 3 TDS.

34-6 Titans, which probably means it’ll be like 15-6.

 

[robertmac43]

I'm going in to the game with a small sens of optimism. The defense does not quit and Johnson has a meh game but does enough to give us the 20-13 win :p.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

24-6 Titans. Down both starting TEs, most of their OL, 4th string QB... yeah. Josh Johnson winning last week was a fun story but they're going to get mashed today.

Ha-Ha Clinton Dix is the last line of defense against Derrick Henry. Yikes.

 

[twabby]

Against my better judgment I am watching the game today.

I feel like a win today followed by a crushing loss next week in a win-and-in game is more their style.

 

[twabby]

Ugh wide open and a miss

 

[robertmac43]

Okay we scored first, 7-0 when that happens!

 

[robertmac43]

I mean they missed the PA, maybe we have some luck...

 

[twabby]

Man this team isn’t good. False start on 4th and 1

 

[twabby]

Hell of a drive

 

[Bananas]

That drive was impressive...

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

2nd and 27 from their own 3 and they drive the field for a TD. With a 4th string QB and practice squad guards against a quality defense. Think about that. Most impressive TD drive all season.

 

[Corby78]

I’ve seen enough, Johnson can be our QB next season

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

That drive probably got Josh Johnson a new contract.

 

[Bananas]

The guy ran out of bounds. Why did the clock keep moving?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Mariucci makes Witten sound like John Madden.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

What is happening...

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

The way JJ is playing the QB situation seems less dismal. McCoy can back up JJ and mentor a rookie.

 

[Corby78]

Surprising half for sure

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Ok the KFC Colonel commercials are getting creepy and played out.
