The end to the Washington Redskins’ playoff hopes was accompanied by the usual assortment of questions, highlighted by a two-word query: What if? As in, what if the Redskins had stayed healthy, especially on offense?
The Redskins, officially eliminated from playoff contention Sunday, now must determine if health was the only reason for their second-half slide. They certainly were decimated on offense. Of their top 22 players on the Week 1 depth chart, only nine played in Saturday’s loss to Tennessee. The rest were hurt. The Redskins have 21 players on injured reserve, and a few more could join them this week.
