Well, the #Redskins were having a pretty good season a week ago

The #Redskins could potentially fly to TB this weekend without their starting left tackle, left guard, right guard, two of their top three WR's and their 3rd down RB.

Adrian Peterson in 5 #Redskins wins (112-561 - 5.01 RYPA - 4 TD).
In 3 #Skins losses (24-43, 1.79, 0 TD) per @pfref
You can say whatever you want about the fantastic season Adrian Peterson is having, but you don't get there without an OL (see AP in AZ). #Redskins now don't have one.
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) November 5, 2018
Peter King reports being told by Doug Williams that #Redskins formally offered Orleans Darkwa the minimum (and got rejected) before scheduling Adrian Peterson's tryout.

The possible free agent guard names being thrown around the Redskins media room right now are not inspiring. To borrow a phrase from @CharleyCasserly it's "a humble group"
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 5, 2018
Casey Dunn will obviously be up this week, but how the #Redskins continue to not address the guard situation, really in any way, is astonishing. I have no idea what their thought process has been here. It's befuddling. https://t.co/8V03lAqLLh
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) November 5, 2018
The #Redskins have signed three offensive linemen, including tackle Austin Howard (an ex-Jet,Raider and Raven) who has played some guard in the past) and Luke Bowanko (also an ex-Raven). Former Cardinals guard Jonathan Cooper also has been signed.
— Les Carpenter (@Lescarpenter) November 5, 2018
“Well I think they might have to start. One is probably going to have to play.” -Gruden on the new linemen.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 5, 2018
He says he might sign as many as 4.
Waking up today and having this confirmed is just crappy.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) November 5, 2018
Scherff was legitimately playing at an all-pro level, and was a huge part of what had made Adrian Peterson's renaissance season possible.
A massive loss for the 2018 #Redskins https://t.co/1ysAPttn2Q
Things went from bad to worse today for the Redskins, who now have 3 new players out for the season.

Cooper, a former No. 7 overall pick, has played with four teams and been cut by a fifth (San Francisco this summer). Broken left fibular in '13. Was traded by AZ to NEP in 2016 (part of Chandler Jones deal). hurt right foot. lost starting job/then cut.

While the #Redskins await potentially bad news on OL Brandon Scherff (pec) and Shawn Lauvao (knee), they received a good report on Morgan Moses (MCL sprain). With treatment, Moses could play this week, source said.

How devastating are these #Redskins injuries? "You've lost 60 percent of your offensive line and it's a dire, dire result for this team," @JPFinlayNBCS tells @chaddukes. https://t.co/HaXWuFUWJV
— 106.7 The Fan (@1067theFan) November 5, 2018
It is nuts that the Redskins have this type of injury trouble on the offensive line two years in a row. Nuts.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 5, 2018
While trying desperately not to over-react to the #Redskins loss, because of the O-Line debacle ahead - it's impossible to think about anything other than this heading south. Not just to Tampa. If they can't run or protect (they couldn't do either yesterday), no chance at all.

Gruden said they're not yet ready to activate Trey Quinn off IR. "We're not ready to say that yet. We're close to saying that, but we'd like to get him out there on Wednesday to see where he's at before we start his clock."

Gruden says Harris will move back outside with Crowder’s return, which could happen this week.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 5, 2018
I'd give Mo Harris the starting job over signing Dez or anyone else personally. Been their most consistent WR after Ricardson. Seems that Smith trusts him. https://t.co/ys94b04M1x
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 5, 2018
Belittle Maurice Harris' 10-catch, 124-yard game as "garbage stats" if you want to. The fact is, he still had to get open and catch the football.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 5, 2018
Career 10-catch, 100-yard games:
Maurice Harris, 1.
Josh Doctson, 0.
Jamison Crowder, 0.
Depending on the next three weeks results should make a big difference as to when to bring Trent back. We don't need to get him injured if we look like we're regressing as a team. https://t.co/KHRnpvFR9Z
— Bruce Hall (@brucehallsports) November 5, 2018
The Alex Smith 22-yard scramble play is even more incredible from this angle. Rush arrives almost instantly, somehow stays on his feet and runs for 1st down. The hit at the end looks more and more brutal every time I watch it. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/wWUDdRyGS9
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 5, 2018
Throwing for 306 yards and a touchdown, QB Alex Smith is this week's @Kia MVP of the Game.

Case Keenum (330) has thrown significantly more attempts than Alex Smith (274) & Brock Osweiler (141) has thrown quite a few less, but both of those QB's have slightly better completion % marks so far than Smith. Just one metric, but Smith's lack of accuracy has been alarming.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) November 5, 2018
I've been as disappointed and critical of Alex Smith's play as much as anyone, but the whole "Go with Colt McCoy" idea being floated is not the answer. Colt is a good back-up, prob. a top 40ish QB in the league, but Smith is the clear better option.

Mark, lets play this scenario out. Skins win 3-4 more times. do they fire Gruden? If so, do the Skins pursue Harbuagh? Assuming he is fired as well.
