Dan Quinn said it best about the Washington Commanders' long-awaited bye week. The players and coaches are despondent regarding a campaign that promised the world and has delivered almost nothing. Everyone needs a break, and it's come at the perfect time.
The Commanders are 3-8 after their lackluster international defeat to the Miami Dolphins in Spain. It was another game that was there for the taking, but Washington made too many sloppy mistakes. That's been the story of the season, and any slim hopes of making the playoffs have completely disintegrated.
There are still six contests left to navigate, but fans are already turning their attention to what promises to be a franchise-altering offseason for general manager Adam Peters.
