Better odds than before the Sunday games started, I cannot see the Washington team playing full out with nothing on the line except accumulating injuries that might hamper next year's talent pool. Cooper Rush comes on down and Micah has a seat. You want this team as healthy and without excuses as it can be for the following week.

The question is will they start Wince or wipe my hiny. Good test for the confidence of Wright. Washington will go after him.

Wright has to figure things out or the door will be open for him, he is still young so I have some hope.

Bills need to win out, not KC. KC needs to win out and the bills to lose.

this team we have just needs to keep ballin and playing. I feel the worst thing that can happen is getting a bye. We tend to not do well after a bye. Lets just play whomever we must and win. Every game has to be treated as a playoff game to get our mind right. We need to hunker down and hone in mentally NOW.

On one hand yes, on the other have to think Rivera is in the hot seat

the minute we take our off the gas mentally is when we lose. This next game I would play all my starters until the game is out of reach and then lets get the back ups meaningful reps. Lets take care of our own business and that other stuff will take care of itself. Its all a distraction.

Can he be that dumb? Did Rivera REALLY not know they were eliminated? I find this hard to believe. I think he wants out of DC. He should be fired just for the idiotic move to start Wentz(if he called it). Again, is he that dumb or was that Dan Snyder calling this start?

All great questions. I could surmise he might not have known elimination was a possibility because they were pretty firmly locked into one of the final spots then Detroit and GB go on winning streaks while Wash completely tanks. None of those were expected. I really didn’t think for a minute Wash would lose to NY or at least they split.

I expect Washington to do a Reverse Gardner Minshew. Minshew played relatively good against Dallas and not so well against New Orleans the next game. Washington looked like <expletive> against Cleveland, so...

The Commodes quit in that game. I think they were deflated when Wentz was named starter. He is not well liked by the teammates. Rivera must answer a few questions.

I do not dispute any of that but this is Dallas week for them. It would not surprise me if they clean up a number of deficits for just this one game.

I was thinking the same thing.
Bills beat KC earlier in the season, so they hold the tiebreaker.
If the Bills win out, they will be the #1 seed in the AFC, but no small feat to beat Cincy and a Pats team that is in a must win situation.

Expletive is more than four letters.

Personally I think that ship has left the dock with Rivera on it.

You might be right.
He just couldn’t solve the QB piece. Dalton or Garropolo or about anyone else would’ve been better and cheaper than what they’ve had there and Alex Smiths horrific injury really set them back years at the position. And as long as Danny is in charge there, Jerry’s clownshow will only be second best, worst.
