Conceding the playoffs as "very, very unrealistic," Washington Redskins coach Steve Spurrier apologized for the team's performance.
He also said Patrick Ramsey will remain the starting quarterback if healthy, but left tackle Chris Samuels will miss Washington's game against New Orleans with a knee injury. Defensive tackle Jermaine Haley won't play again this season because of a thumb injury.
"I apologize to the Redskins fans out there that our team has not achieved what I thought we were capable of this year," Spurrier said. "If anybody deserves most of the blame, it should be me. Our assistant coaches are an excellent group, and I can assure you they put in as much time and effort trying to put our players in position to make plays as I think any staff in the NFL. ...
"We're going to play out the season with our best players and try to win every game we play."
