(+) Yeah! (+)

Let's try to at least match the excitement we had for the Monday game tonight!

Tom Brady vying to become the third winningest QB in Buffalo of all time

He's also on pace to break the record for most wins by a QB this week, previously held by Tom Brady!

Fun fact: The QB with the most wins in Cleveland since the Browns came back in 1999 is...

Ben Roethlisberger.

His rookie year was 2004.

Well that was a terrible first quarter.

Well that was a terrible first quarter.

Washington self-destructed even worse than the Chargers did.

But Cousins keeps getting these interceptions off of receivers dropping perfectly thrown balls right onto the hands of defenders.

(And this time the drop would've been a touchdown)

Stats are kinda broken.
---

wait

Touchdown Cowboys what the fuck
---

It's because Washington left their defense out to dry. Turnover, followed by another turnover on the punt, followed by a 3 and out that gave Dallas great field position.

Washington's defense was out for 3 series in just a few minutes.
---

what the fuck
---

This game might actually already be over, Washington already looks like it's coming apart.
---

rolf
---

Ok yeah it's over no reason to keep watching.

What an ugly way for Washington to go down, sheesh.
---

I was one of the few to pick Dallas in pick'em this week. I had faith the whole time that Washington would be slightly more terrible!
---

Washington always plays to the level of its competition, for better or for worse.

Beat the Rams and Seahawks on the road, should've beaten the Saints

Get swept by the Cowboys
---

Surely the Cowboys can win this without Zeke and Dak, right?

EDIT: Nevermind!
---

This will be the game that gets Jay Gruden fired.

go my alfred morris

of course I didn't play Morris this week
---

I almost resent the fact that Dallas looked so good tonight because now this is just going to give me false hope that they can hang in there until Zeke comes back and sneak into the playoffs

augh

Nah, Redskins have way too many injuries. I think Gruden makes it another year.

if it makes you feel better dak still didn't look very good (though better than the last two weeks or whatever)

No Redskins coach has ever made it to a fifth season under Dan Snyder.

There have been 6 coaches since Turner was fired

Of which:
-1 retired
-1 resigned
-2 were never who Snyder REALLY wanted (He wanted Spurier, not Schottenheimer. And he wanted Shanahan not Zorn)
-1 is the current coach.

Also, the Redskins remaining schedule is probably easy enough for the Redskins to finish 7-9 or 8-8. (They should be able to beat at least two of Blaine Gabbert, Geno Smith, and whoever the Broncos decide to start)

I think Jay Gruden gets another year. I wouldn't rule him being fired out, but right now I'd say he sticks around one more year. But I think next year his seat will be extremely hot (and it won't be easy if Kirk Cousins bolts for Denver or Jacksonville)
---

I think if Cousins leaves, there's no reason to keep Gruden.
---

They lost 38-14 in a total meltdown of a game they absolutely had to have against a team that had gotten slaughtered 3 straight weeks

It's over.

tbqh the way the browns go through qbs i almost wouldn't be surprised if he had more starts at cleveland too
---

Nah, Tim Couch probably has the most starts in Cleveland. The only season in which the same QB started all 16 games was 2001 with Couch.
---

I said at Cleveland on purpose! Only 8 of those would be home games!
---

But Couch was there for like five years.
---

probably

the dream is dead =(
---

I feel kinda bad for Tim Couch because he was a really good QB in college.

Not as bad as I feel for David Carr (and I'm not sure I'll ever feel as bad for any other QB in terms of just football related stuff), but yeah.
---

At least Carr ended up getting a ring or two backing up Eli I think, but man, I'm not sure any QB in my lifetime has taken such a severe pounding in a 4-5 year stretch like David Carr did to begin his career
---

Yeah this game shouldn't give Cowboys fans any hope. The Redskins just played horribly and almost any nfl team would have blown them out
---

what is this hope you speak of

where can I get it
---

Even if the Cowboys win out (and keeping in mind they have to face the Eagles, Raiders, and Seahawks), their chances of making the playoffs are pretty slim. They lose even one of those games, and they'll be relying on a lot of other teams to make the playoffs. Even if they win out, they're going to need some things to go their way. If the Falcons win this week, and the Panthers win next week (but lose this week)... their hopes will pretty much be fading away.

Nobody's afraid of the Raiders. Zeke will be back for the Seahawks game, and the Eagles is a week 17 game when they probably won't be playing any starters. Running the table isn't entirely out of the question.

but yeah their chances are slim because their tiebreaker scenarios aren't good even if they run the table

Nobody's afraid of the Raiders, but Zeke will still be out for that game. And it's in Oakland.

And the Eagles could still be playing for the 1 seed at that point, though they might have it wrapped up by then.
---

Yeah, but I'm saying it's a winnable game. The Cowboys got crushed the three weeks before, but they were either playing a really good team (Eagles) or teams on a hot streak (Falcons and Chargers).
---

Wouldn't really say the Chargers were on a hot streak. They beat the Bills (though really the stupid decision to start Nathan Peterman beat the Bills), but the week before that they lost to the Jaguars in overtime. In fact the Chargers had the same record as the Redskins coming into this week.
---

They've won 5 of 7 after starting 0-4, and the Jaguars are a good team regardless of their recent history (and the Chargers Chargers'd that game so hard). They could've beaten the Bills with Tyrod, too.
---

Don't die.
---

35 minutes from football!
---

I'm predicting a modest 200 yards and 2 TD from Josh Gordon today.
---

Tyrod Taylor limping after the first play of the game.

Who's ready for Nathan Peterman?
---

If the Chargers lose to the Browns again fire everyone
---

Are the Chiefs undone?

Or are they playing the Jets
---

Who needs Peterman when Taylor throws picks just fine.
---

oh ya go my kelce
