Mark Solway The phrase, “it was over by half-time” gets over-used a lot. However, the phrase was never more appropriate than in the Washington Football Team’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Washington were getting crushed 42-7 by half time, en route to a 56-14 drubbing on Prime Time television.
The loss moved Washington to 6-8 and out of the playoff running. That’s appropriate given their level of play the last few weeks.
The Washington Football Team’s roster has been like a yo-yo the last two weeks. Wide receiver Curtis Samuel and linebacker Jamin Davis not being able to go, are tough misses for the WFT.
Davis is a last-minute scratch because he was showing symptoms of Covid before the game.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merrrrrrrrrry Christmas everybody.
To all those who celebrate Christmas, have a heckuva fantastic day.
May you get a Chase Young authentic jersey, an authentic helmet, two WFT snap back hats, and every wall hanging you could find with a “W” on it.
This 2021 holiday season, is the season that just keeps on giving to the Washington Football Team. On Wednesday, Washington placed it’s most dependable defender on the Covid-19 list – Cole Holcomb. Holcomb is the leader of the WFT defense. He calls the signals. He has played in all but thirteen defensive snaps for Washington … Read more
It was close for a quarter. After that, things went about as expected for a team down a combined 20-plus coaches and players due to COVID-19. The healthy Philadelphia Eagles team quite literally ran all over the Washington Football Team and came away with a 27-17 victory. Despite Washington jumping out to a 10-point lead, they … Read more
Washington announced that three players had been activated from the Covid-19 list today, but none of them play quarterback. That means that newly acquired Garrett Gilbert is expected to get the call tonight against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Gilbert was signed from the New England Patriots practice squad earlier this week.
He’s getting the start despite being with Washington for such a short time, for two reasons.
The Washington Football Team finally got their first bit of good news on Saturday. Four defensive linemen were all taken off the Covid list, and will be eligible for their Week 15 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Washington’s two leading sack producers, Jonathan Allen (7 1/2) and Montez Sweat (4.0) were both green-lighted to return. That puts Washington in a considerably better competitive position. Before the latest roster changes, Washington was without six of it’s top seven defensive linemen.
The Washington Football Team lost both of their quarterbacks this week. Both Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen tested positive, and joined some 20-plus other Washington team members on the Covid-19 list. That means whomever suits up this week against the Philadelphia Eagles for the WFT, will not only have never played a down for them, they might never have played a down in the NFL.
Washington head to Philadelphia with Garrett Gilbert and Jordan Ta’amu on their roster, two quarterbacks that were only added late this week.
It has been a chaotic week for bookmakers. A rash of Covid-19 positives amongst NFL players and coaches, forced the league to postpone three games – including the Washington versus Philadelphia game. Obviously these same injuries can also have a drastic outcome on the effect of games, and therefore, drastically effect a game’s odds.
The Football Team now has twenty-three Covid cases, including both of their quarterbacks. That earned them a two-day postponement until Tuesday. The two-day postponement is designed to allow time for the team’s players to produce negative tests ahead of their Week 15 matchup.
