Episode 1,425: Dan Quinn says Washington plans to have Jayden Daniels and Sam Cosmi back vs. Giants and more

On Monday's show, episode 1,424, and on Monday morning on X, brought up the following jarring reality.

Washington, with Adam Peters as general manager and Dan Quinn as head coach, now has played a total of 41 regular season and postseason games.

Washington, over the first 25 games, went 17-8.

Washington, over the last 16 games, has gone 3-13.

What the heck has happened? From R.

Andrew DeFord on X writes, Andrew, bad coaching, poor personnel decisions, and increased competition.

Thank you for that, Andrew.

From Adam Wells on X writes, Adam, AP has failed to build a roster in three years.

DQ is a pawn of an HC.

Simple as that.

Thank you for that, Adam.

From SG on X writes, SG, the quarterback is not available.

Thank you for that, SG.

From AB on X writes, AB, 2024 Washington is similar to 2012 Washington, a total isolated fluke of a season.

Thank you for that, AB.

There is truth in all of these responses.

I look at 17-8 versus 3-13 as being a function of three primary factors.

A, Washington went from enjoying outstanding injury luck in the 2024 season to now being plagued by horrendous injury luck in each of the last two seasons.

B, the roster that Adam Peters has constructed has not been as good as we thought slash hoped.

C, the coaching of Dan Quinn and his staff has not been as good as we thought slash hoped.

You're off your rocker.

If you don't acknowledge that injuries have been a main reason for three and 13.

Now, we can debate how much of the injury problem has been bad luck versus having older slash injury prone players versus the team not playing players enough in preseasons.

But there's not a doubt in my mind that injuries have been a main reason, maybe the number one reason.

for 3-13, especially considering the lack of availability of the QB1 Jaden Daniels and the lack of availability of the WR1 Terry McLaurin.
