Final Thoughts

Coming out of the bye, Washington is 0-2 and it is time to recognize that the rest of 2020 should be devoted to the rebuild, evaluations, and roster adjustments.  To pretend otherwise is to ignore the realities of a team that is 2-7 and fading fast.

There should be no other talk of a playoff game or division title.  That ship has sailed.  There is nothing wrong with a rebuild and having the courage to admit it.  Washington is rebuilding.  Washington will continue to rebuild.  Don’t ignore the obvious.

In the coming weeks, the WFT roster will put forth some positives and negatives.  In other words, this rebuild will have some good moments and bad moments.  Scrutinizing it is what we’ll do and the coaches/front office will be evaluating every step of the way.

We’ll be back next week following the Bengals game for five positives and negatives.  Stay positive during these challenging times.
