The Washington Football Team (6-9) head in to their Week 17 match-up coming off of a demoralizing 56-14 thrashing from the Dallas Cowboys, and their third straight loss. The Philadelphia Eagles (8-7) beat up the New York Giants for their third straight victory – a 34-10 win at home. Washington will be looking to avenge the beat down that the Eagles gave them two weeks ago.
It is Washington’s last home game of 2021.
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 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.
Two extra days. That’s what Washington were granted by the NFL today. The Washington Football Team’s Week 15 game against the Philadelphia Eagles will happen on Tuesday instead of Sunday.
The NFL announced three changes to the schedule because of COVID-19 cases. The Las Vegas Raiders vs. Cleveland Browns game was moved from Saturday afternoon to Monday night, and the Seattle Seahawks vs. Los Angeles Rams game was moved to Tuesday night with the WFT game.
On Tuesday, Will Hobson and Liz Clarke accused owner Dan Snyder of attempting to obstruct the investigation into the workplace culture of the Washington Football Team. The article written by them in the Washington Post, detailed several ways that Snyder was alleged to have interfered with the work of lawyer and investigator Beth Wilkinson. On Wednesday, league Commissioner Roger … Read more
Washington placed another eight players on the Covid list today. That brings the total to eighteen in the last few days. And there is still time to go before the next game. Will there be any players left to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday?
It’s become almost comical at this juncture for Washington. At what point will the league consider re-scheduling the game? Obviously that’s a difficult proposition with so little time left in the regular season.
Here are the 18 players on the list:
