Just three weeks ago, I was lauding Dan Quinn’s game management on this site. Several weeks of bold - and analytically justified - in-game decisions were a significant part of Washington’s eventual four-game win streak.
But the season’s not over, not by a longshot, and Quinn’s still under the microscope, and will be for the foreseeable future.
The game against the Bears was frustrating for a variety of reasons, most notably because of Washington’s inability to score touchdowns in the red zone and put Chicago away before the end of the first half. Washington was clearly the better team yesterday, with the defense playing out of its mind for most of the game, and the offense ultimately putting up over 480 yards.
