29. Washington Redskins (27)

It’s hard to figure out exactly what the Washington Redskins are doing anymore. They go out year after year and make huge mistakes but never learn from them. For example, they had a bit of a schism back in 2012 when head coach Mike Shanahan was forced to use Robert Griffin III as his quarterback.

Washington made a huge trade for him despite the coach not wanting him. After one season of success, things fell apart and Shanahan was given the boot. RGIII ended up being a bust and he too didn’t last long.

Now in 2019, they again have a difference of opinion in who should play quarterback. Jay Gruden apparently wasn’t sold on Dwayne Haskins but again, owner Daniel Snyder pulled the trigger on the player he wanted. Gruden then decided to avoid using Haskins even after it became apparent Case Keenum wasn’t going to get the job done. Instead, he turned to Colt McCoy.

Unsurprisingly, McCoy and the Redskins were completely smoked by the defending champion New England Patriots. They took a 7-0 lead but that was it as the Pats just ran away with it from then. Now at 0-5, it’s safe to say this team is officially a dumpster fire.
