With the emergence of the Lions, their easy remaining schedule and their tiebreaker over us, this season will fall completely off the rails with a loss Sunday. I hope this team understands that.

i agree. I think if we get 10, we are in. Sunday is not a must win but it's one we should have. I got losses from the 49erss and Cowboys. The rest all are winnable.

It's not a season ender, but if we end up on the outside looking in, this is the game everyone will point to.

The late Heinicke interception and the Ridgeway roughing the center vs Minnesota comes to mind too.

The bye week can't get here fast enough

according to NFL.com Falcon's defense is ranked #32. passing #30, rushing #2. #20 for offense. How is that being a hypocrite? they have the worst defense in the league. You can't set it up any better for TH.

The most important thing for defense points scored, especially when you say we should be able to score on Atlanta and are using that as a reason to bench TH. Chicago gives up the same points per game, on the dot, and Wentz only scored 12, 7 of which came on a 2 play 6 yard drive where he handed the ball to Robinson twice.

That is why you are a hypocrite.

As Washington fans we tend to focus on things like that and forget Washington got gifted an almost sure Int when the Ref took out the Minnesota defender.

Forgot about that.

I don't want to bash TH because I am happy the team has won with him as QB. Not because of him but I agree the players rally around him.

Like you I wonder what the team might do with Wentz while at the same time I think "holy shit" when I think about him getting a pass rush.

One thing is for sure. TH is not going to throw for 20,000++ yards and 150 TDs.

The team still needs a QB.

This is a sneaky big game for the NFC playoff picture especially given the Giants remaining schedule

I know the conventional wisdom would be losing Pitts really hurts us but i actually think it may not hurt that much

We are a run first team and Kyle isn't much of a blocker. He's obviously an elite pass catcher BUT Mariota actually has far superior numbers this yearv when Pitts is off the field. My guess is because he's not trying to force the ball to him in those instances

I won't go as far as to say it helps that Kyle won't play but i truly don't think it's going to hurt either. Not with how or offense is run

My primary concern, as most always, is our D. AJ should be fully healthy which will help but our secondary still isn't good and has beenv pretty bad since we lost Hayward at the CB spot

We probably need this game more than you guys do as Tampa plays Cleveland si the odds are they win and a loss for us basically ends any realistic WC shot we have AND would put us 1.5 back on the division with TB already having beat us

But it's still also a huge game for yall too

Should be fun

Chase Young is still listed as questionable. Is anyone else growing concerned that his knee will never be ”right”? It’s been over a year now.

Huge game for both of us for sure. We'd be two up on you guys with the tiebreaker. So essentially that's a three game lead going into December. If the Skins lose to Atlanta, I think there is a good chance we get caught from behind by Detroit.
