The Redskins three game winning streak came to a painful

halt last week against the Falcons at FedEx Field. The good news is they remain in 1st place in the NFC East at 5-3. The bad news is they lost 3 starters for the season(G Brandon Scherff , G Shawn Lauvao, and WR Paul Richardson Jr.). They travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers to try to get a needed win.Quinton Dunbar is questionable again this week with a shin/nerve injury. If Dunbar can't play, Danny Johnson will likely get significant playing time with Greg Stroman in the backup role.Jamison Crowder has been ruled out for the last four weeks, but returned to practice this week and is questionable. Maurice Harris will likely get the start opposite Josh Doctson this week with Richardson out.Michael Floyd and Brian Quick could see more playing time against the Buccaneers, at least until Trey Quinn makes his return from IR next week.Adrian Peterson is still dealing with shoulder and knee injuries, but will start again this week. Chris Thompson has been ruled out for tomorrow’s game , his 2nd straight after suffering a new rib injury two weeks ago. Kapri Bibbs and Samaje Perine will be active again. (Byron Marshall is also eligible to return from IR). LT Trent Williams is still out after thumb surgery and he could miss a few more weeks. Ty Nsekhe steps in for him at LT. Morgan Moses has a big brace on his knee and is also questionable. If he can't play, Geron Christian Sr. will start at RT. Newly signed Austin Howard would then be active as the team's swing tackle. Another OL signed this week will get the start when Jonathan Cooper lines up at LG. Chase Roullier will remain at center while veteran backup Tony Bergstrom takes over at RG.

Two years later , Washington surrendered three first-round picks and a second-round pick for Robert Griffin III. In that same draft, a fourth-round pick was wisely used on Kirk Cousins. But that’s the only wise thing Washington ever did when it comes to the man who would become the Gus Frerotte to RGIII’s Heath Shuler. Once it was clear that Washington would move on from Griffin and ride with Cousins, Washington lowballed Cousins, opting instead for two years of the franchise tag (and nearly $44 million) before letting Cousins walk away.Washington then replaced Cousins with a trade that sent a third-round pick and cornerback Kendall Fuller to the Chiefs for Alex Smith. Then came the last mistake, in hindsight, that Washington made: They opted to replace Smith’s $17 million salary for 2018 with a four-year , $94 million extension that will pay Smith $71 million in injury guarantees. Given Smith’s badly broken leg, which potentially will knock him out for up to eight months.While injuries can never be anticipated, the reality is that, by insisting on avoiding a potential franchise-tag dance with Smith in 2019 (since the last one went so poorly), Washington coughed up major cash for a guy who never had played for the team. And if Smith’s leg injury ends his career, that will cost nearly $30 million more than the two years of the franchise tag with Kirk Cousins.Some would call it a curse. Others would label it incompetence. Either way , Washington has enjoyed limited success in recent years in large part due to its quarterback decisions. And there have been plenty of not good ones.
