I felt this may happen after the loss in Philly and all the talk surrounding the disappointment. Could see a very uninspiring product on the field Sunday afternoon. The Skins are missing too many players to pull it off but this will be a 17-13 type snoozefest.
I think this issue is symptomatic of what's happened with this organization.
There's no other actually, visible reasons to point to. In terms if injuries and suspensions, this team has been far more fortunate than any others. Missing players is absolutely not an excuse.
I feel it comes down to this, an old tired message from a neutered coach and staff that clearly have no answers. I mean how much should players buy in and pay attention to a lame duck coach that everyone knows is finished? A guy that everyone knows the team tried unsuccessfully to replace LAST YEAR? Why would anyone pay attention to anything he has to say? And by extension, why follow coaches who send you out on the field unprepared and at a disadvantage every week? I'd tune them out too, and it's clear to me that's what these players have done.
