OT: Washington Redskins 2019 Season Thread Vol 4: Regular Season Edition

[John Price]

Have the Skins ever had the #1 pick? Not in my lifetime as a fan (so since mid 70’s)

I hope the Miami game ends up 0-0 tie

They haven't won less than three games since the 70s

The floor still could be five or six wins

 

[EroCaps]

A smart team would be open to drafting a QB.

Haskins looks like a project.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Not a good weekend if you are a Terps and Skins fan

Tua is the guy? Herbert? I’m scared.


Trubisky done. Tariq Cohen now the Bears backup lol....

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

The Bears throwbacks are sweet.

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Pretty much and we don’t even own our 2nd rounder which will be a high pick. Go Redskins

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I wonder if Bruce still thinks they're close.

It's not even October yet and the team has mailed it in. Embarrassing.

 

[Beef Invictus]

so predictable....not close to ready....

Yeah. Dude needs more time, but Keenum really left Gruden no choice.

I missed the 4th but I saw a few throws where Haskins weakarmed it. I presume that was a lack of confidence, he wasn't really getting set for throws, might have been jumpy.

From what I saw the defense wasn't exactly good, it's just that Jones sucked. I don't think either QB is ready.

He's delusional so yes. His ego requires that he believes they be close. Selling that to his boss is also vital for keeping his job.

 

[Beef Invictus]

If only we had a malcontent player who has good value, whose value will only drop over time, to trade for picks.

If only.

 

[John Price]

Redskins!!!

 

[Beef Invictus]

So how long before they fire Williams instead of Allen because he's the "GM"

 

[Cush]

 

[Corby78]

The truth stings like a bitch

 

[Corby78]

This is going to be a long year

 

[marcel snapshot]

So they've already rattled the confidence of their shiny new QB toy. Would be totes Redskins to put him in against the Pats, in some desperate bid to stay relevant in some pathetic way. Franchise is a joke. No sign that they can beat Miami in week 6, and that's a team actively trying to lose

 

[g00n]

Haskins should not have played. That wasn't the answer. Shit organization and shit coaching sending mixed messages about improvement. You won't fire any coaches, but you'll bench your veteran starter for a rookie who's been mostly running scout? In a game you're not going to win? Dumb. Reckless.

 

[tenken00]

I kind of want to keep dumb Gruden and his dumb staff for the rest of the season to tank. Grab Trevor Lawrence if he comes out. If he doesnt, tank again and grab him the next year.

Hopefully Bruce Allen is done by the end of this year or next.

 

[John Price]

We all knew Gruden teams get off to rough starts and this was a tough schedule to open up the season but how many people expected 0-4

I thought they might go 1-3 or maybe 2-2 at best but 0-4

First time they went o-4 since the Marty year

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

It is fairly stunning how far they've fallen in less than one calendar year. On 11/18/18 the Redskins were 6-3 at home and likely would have beaten the Texans to go 7-3 had Smith not gotten hurt. They looked like they finally had a playbook for being respectable and competitive.

Since that day they've gone 1-10 and have played 6 QBs -- Smith, McCoy, Johnson, Sanchez, Keenum and Haskins. Their best player won't report, they are rudderless and without direction or leadership, and they find new ways to embarrass themselves on a weekly basis. Sucks.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Logged onto Twitter just now and saw that "Kirk Cousins" was trending so decided to have a look...

 

[ynotcaps]

They can't draft another QB in this draft -- there is no way to know if Haskins can play or not yet. The OL is trash b/t Williams holdout and injuries to Scherff and Roullier. There's one receiver who like like he can play, and he's only 3 games into his career. The RB is almost 71 years old, and he's playing because the guy they think should be the RB can't take a dozen snaps without getting injured. We've got "one of the best TEs in the league" according to the color guy, and he's only slightly less brittle than our young RB -- and his replacement is older than Old Man Peterson.

The fact that Vernon Davis was the most talented offensive player on the field today for the Redskins shows that, even if we had 50% of a sense that Haskins can't play, there's NO WAY this team can afford to draft 2 QBs -- a position that, by definition, only one can play at a time -- when there aren't holes so much as gaping chasms everywhere you look.

And that's before you consider the defense.

He's absolutely a project and we are not a team that can handle a project.

This is a team that needs to draft can't-miss players and nothing else.

You usually dont draft 2 QBs in the first round back to back years, or close to back to back years.

But the opportunity and a really good chance to draft Trevor Lawrence after this year or next is too great as many consider him a "generational" QB. He totally dismantled that vaunted Alabama defense.

Of course our current coaching staff should be gone before ever touching him.
