I'm stuck in the land of mental midgets, aka Cowboys territory, so I'm only seeing game breaks on FOX, but it looks like a lot more red in the stands.

I'm guessing the DC faithful are being their usual wallflower selves?

The owner naged about ticket sales, locals responded with middle fingers.

Chase Young to the 49rs for a 3rd round pick. Sweat to the Bears for a 2nd.

Those seem like very good returns.

Yeah, but trading a 2nd overall pick for a 3rd rounder is terrible.

He’s gone after the year anyway.  Bad pick he certainly was. But not a terrible player.

This season got real bad real fast. At least seeing if Howell is the guy is reason to keep watching.

They’re a game out of a playoff spot.  With an easy schedule. Did you really think they would beat the Eagles? The Giants game seems the only glitch.

They just traded away the one strength of the team. The front office thinks the season is over. I could see them fighting for a wildcard spot, but I think the ceiling is first round exit. I just want a good staff next year and some hope

Yes, I expected them to be an Eagles team with a Jalen Hurts who was limping the entire game. The defense is atrocious. This is not a playoff team

There are only like 4 good teams in the NFC. And 7 make the playoffs.

The front office just traded away 2 pass rushers- that’s the white flag. Young was traded for the same compensatory pick they would have gotten when he left in free agency

Looking at the schedule would say they probably end up 7-10. 8-9 may be enough.  The defense really looks no worse without the two guys they traded.  They would have been better off tanking but too late now.

And this clearly wasnt one of the 7. I have no idea what happened between last year and this year, but this year's defense is one of the worst in football.

Yes, the Giants game turned off my excitement. I'm still watching the games and probably going to a couple. But I don't have much hope.

I just want improvement, but not enough to save any jobs

that roughing the passer call. :smh: Obviously forgot the "mother may I?" when the end came in untouched from the left side.

Also, could have called an OPI on the near interception right afterwards. Receiver wrapped the defender's arms before the ball got there.

Refs have been seriously freaking over Washington since Week 3

Got the calls they needed down the stretch. Deserved. Pats just are a very sloppy team

Son has been living in Seattle since beginning of the year. Think he is going to the game Sunday.

Going to be quite a race to the bottom. Five teams have two or fewer wins.

Bears have stacked odds. Poor Carolina is the only team in the running not tanking

The Bears will screw it up somehow.
