10 best head coaching job openings.

Some of those are rather shocking. I don't think this list will be accurate by season's end.

Something positive about the Redskins
The Redskins are tied for first with the fewest turnovers (seven) and are second in turnover differential (11). They’re tied with Atlanta for the fewest points allowed off turnovers.
...
For the season, the lack of turnovers -- and quality special teams play -- is why Redskins opponents have started only four drives in Washington territory. That's third in the NFL -- and 19 fewer than their 2017 total.
...
The lack of turnovers combined with Way’s punts are why teams start drives 74.7 yards from the end zone, third best in the NFL.

Did you know that until this past week the Redskins had won 12 coin flips in a row?

Did you know that for every Redskins game this season, the first team to score has won the game?

No.

Yes. Zero lead changes. Only team to ever do that to start a season since the 1954 Redskins.

Steelers rout the Panthers and now they look like dogshit against the lowly Jaguars. This is why fans like myself hate Tomlin.

The team looks completely unprepared. They look bored, undisciplined, and like they didn't think Jacksonville would put up a fight.

Redskins have lost 6 offensive starters so far. That does not include injuries from before the season, like losing their RB draft pick.

The only good news is that if we can beat Dallas once, and Eagles once, we're probably going to win our terrible division.

The game yesterday was fun, too bad we lost. But only the lower bowl of the stadium was full. The 2nd and 3rd levels were MAYBE half full. On the bright side, tailgating and traffic were less crowded.

I think I'd refuse to play on the anniversary of that day if I was a QB.

The inevitable Redskins should reach out to Kaep article.

Redskins only had 2 QBs on the roster (including practice squad). So we need a backup. Yeah, I dunno. I've seen Colt play. He's decidedly mediocre. We have a chance for a home playoff game. Ugh

I mean, why not? Make him sign a contract that stipulates if he takes a knee during the anthem (or does any other protest during the national anthem) he forfeits every cent. He claims he would no longer take a knee, so sign him and do the NFL a solid. Hell, even if you attempt it, it hurts his case.

I'm not arguing. Kaep at least has potential. Butt Fumble is fucking garbage.

Remember when Pete Carroll told him to stay in school because he wasn't ready?

Butt Fumble.

He came out a year early, and Pete was still at USC. He made public comments slamming BF saying he had no business going to the NFL, and yada yada. It was big news, and kind of unprecedented for a head coach to slam a guy heading to the draft.

Last night's game was good, but also a reminder that the offensive heavy rules suck. The league is more arena football or flag football than actual football. I miss the 9-6 defensive slobberknockers the Ravens and Steelers used to have.

I like seeing around 20 to 30 points. Less than arena football, more than soccer.
