And not too many on the field either...
They do, they just have shitty coaches which is why they need to clean house.

3 weeks ago the DPOW was Preston Smith. The runner up was Clinton Dix. Also through those same 3 weeks, Breelend/Fuller were the best CB duo in the NFL.

Oh, and on top of that, Kyle Shanahan, Sean Mcvay, and Matt Lafleur were all 3-0 after week 3.

All ex Redskins players and coaches, that the FO let get away. The players were unproductive while on the Redskins yet they flourish when on other teams with better coaches.

Wait till week 6 when the 0-5 Redskins play the 0-5 Dolphins.

I'm just wondering who the hell is going to be calling that game and the reffing crew. There are probably going to be record setting flags that day.

If I was the ref of the game I wouldn’t throw a single flag no matter what because I’d wanna get the hell out of there as quickly as I could. Every flag adds a minute or two if real time to the game.

Honestly though you got to think the NFL really hate you if they pick you to be the referee for the MIA-WAS game. These have to be the two most devoid of talent teams I’ve ever seen in the NFL.

The NFL and the networks should just use interns as refs and broadcasters for that game. The 5 people who will be watching won’t notice.

I bet it will be one of the higher rated games in the DC area. Every Redskins fan I know wants them to lose at this point, and it's like watching a trainwreck right now. I don't even watch the games in the same way anymore but I still watch em and I LOL at all of the mishaps. I'm watching Sunday for 2 reasons.

1. To see just how many Pats fans are at Fedex and how few Redskins fans are there. It's going to be comical as hell and going to 10000% look like a Pats home game.

2. To see just how bad the Pats will beat the Redskins down.

At this point I want them to look completely embarassing in every game like they did MNF and against the Bears. It's the only way that change will happen. And until Bruce Allen is gone, this team has no chance at anything. I want them to completely clean house, starting with Allen. I'd start with Snyder, but yeah, that's just not possible. And I'm ready to move on from the Gruden experiment. He sucks and his soft ass attitude rubs off on the whole team.

I can’t understand what happened to the defense as it was pretty decent last year. Not top five but now they’re playing like one of the worst in the league. I know Josh Norman has regressed but still...

Preston Smith is of course having a career year elsewhere. Bit nope, he wasn't good enough to stay here.

Last year's defense sucked too though for the most part. They started out kinda hot then they sucked ass. I mean they were lucky as HELL to win the Bucs game last year. They had 500+ yards but had these hilarious turnovers. Everyone knew the 6-3 start last year was a fluke and that it wasn't sustainable.

As you said, it's a lot of the same team. It's 100% on the coaching.

I mean when it's 3rd and 17 and you rush 3 or 4, and play a soft zone, that isn't all on the players. It's mainly on the play calling, which ALWAYS happens.

Also, they lost Mason Foster for the season, right? and Jonathan Allen returned just last week. They were pretty banged up before the season started.

No they weren't banged up before the season started. They get banged up as soon as the season starts. Because their training and medical staff sucks.

Sure some of it is bad luck, but this is literally 3 years in a row. It's not a coincidence. This doesn't happen to other teams. Something is just wrong with the staff and the preparation here.

Jordan Reed is ironically the only injury that you can't really put on anyone because it was a bad dirty hit and concussions aren't something you can do anything about.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...the Philadelphia Eagles. '17 when they won the SB, there were an insane amount of injuries including to Carson Wentz. Last year, a lot of injuries. And this year is like a sports injury encyclopedia. If it's in there, someone on the Eagles has the injury.

Eagles have this thing called "depth" which the Redskins don't.

Also, Wentz is injury prone, he won't play all 16 games this season. Giving him that huge contract was a bad idea. It's going to bite em in the ass.

Good ol Droppy McDroper Ebron. I was glad when he was no longer with the Lions.

While the Packers' loss to the Eagles was a disappointment, I must say that beating Dallas more than makes up for it. The Broncos and Cowboys humbled is a great start to the season.
