ASHBURN, Va. - Why just lose when you can lose with gusto? Of the Washington Redskins 12 losses this year, nine were by double digits.Only one other team in franchise history has lost so decisively so often. The dreadful 1961 Redskins also dropped nine by double digits in a 1-12-1 season.It wasnt until a decade later — 1971 — that the Redskins returned to the playoffs. Unless there are some major changes, no one is going to rule out another long drought for owner Dan Snyders team.Weve had the same results here for too long, coach Jay Gruden said.And he only just got here.The first-year coach was supposed to re-energize the franchise, but that was also supposed to happen with the other six coaching changes under Snyder. The second coming of Joe Gibbs provided a couple of brief sparks, but overall the Redskins are 108-148 in the 16 years since Snyder bought the team, tied with the Buffalo Bills for the fifth-worst record in the NFL during that time.Gruden has promised changes. Weve all heard that before, but heres how some of them might come about following a 4-12 season and a sixth last-place NFC East finish in seven years:TOUGH JOB, HUH? Gruden was every bit a rookie, and it showed. He conceded his mistakes in game management, and that he could be too blunt for his own good when it came to publicly criticizing players, particularly Robert Griffin III.Players frequently talk about the NFLs massive learning curve, and the huge leap they take from Year 1 to Year 2 after going through it all the first time. The same can be true of coaches, and Gruden is already mulling how he will do things differently next season after what he called the humbling experience of 4-12.Theres a million things swirling in your brain right now, Gruden said. Thats why its important just to take a deep breath, take a few days off, let everything sink in, make the notes you need to make, and when you talk to the owner and the general manager and the rest of the staff, then you move forward with some of your thoughts and your beliefs.BIG MEETING: Fly-on-the-wall time comes Sunday, when Gruden sits down for his big review-the-season meeting with Snyder and team president and general manager Bruce Allen. Its unlikely Gruden will lose his job, but there are sure to be serious discussions that will determine the future of the franchise. Particularly talks concerning Griffin, the rest of the coaching staff and how best to upgraded the many deficiencies on the roster.SO WHAT ABOUT RG3?: Gruden worked diligently to try to teach Griffin the finer points of pocket passing. He didnt make much progress, at least not enough for Griffin to avoid getting benched for the second straight season.Gruden this week declined to say whether Griffin will be the starter headed into training camp. The Redskins also must decide in the spring whether to pick up a team option in the quarterbacks contract for the 2016 season.Allen and Snyder have invested much into Griffin. They would naturally be more reluctant to give up on him than Gruden, who was hired because of his track record of working with quarterbacks, and could be ready to move on to someone else.It could be quite the tug-of-war. Then again, it wouldnt be a Redskins off-season without RG3 drama.Yeah, there needs to be some clarity at certain spots, Gruden said. Theres no question about it. Obviously, the quarterback position is one of them.SCAPEGOAT HASLETT?: Defensive co-ordinator Jim Haslett had another tough season and is the low-hanging fruit for fans demanding some sort of immediate change. But the loss of several key starters compounded the problems of a unit that was already thin on talent at the start of the season.Gruden once worked for Haslett in the now-defunct UFL and is staying loyal to his former boss. Snyder and Allen might have other ideas.I would recommend keeping him, Gruden said.ALLEN & A.J.: A more significant change would come in a front office that has flopped too often when drafting players and signing free agents. Allen isnt going anywhere, but theres an argument to be made that he should yield his GM duties.One candidate is A.J. Smith, the former San Diego Chargers GM who advises the Redskins in a role as senior executive.I have a lot of respect for both Bruce and A.J., Gruden said diplomatically. And I think if A.J. is here full-time, it could only be a benefit.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Joseph White on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JGWhiteAP Virgil van Dijk Jersey . - Anthony Beauvillier had the winning goal in the third period as the Shawinigan Cataractes edged the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 2-1 on Wednesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League play.

Bayer Leverkusen beat Hannover 2-0 as the trio of leaders opened a significant gap seven games into the season. Dortmund leads on goal difference over Bayern. Leverkusen was a point behind them, six ahead of Hannover. In other matches, Hoffenheim rallied from a two-goal deficit to draw 3-3 with Schalke, and Hertha also came from behind to beat Mainz 3-1. Mainz lost its fourth straight. The change of coach paid off for Hamburger SV, which twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt in Bert van Marwijks first match in charge. Wolfsburgs run of futility in Munich extended to 17 matches -- the visitors have never won at Bayern and earned only one draw. Wolfsburg massed its defence and Pep Guardiolas team struggled to find openings. In a game with few highlights, it was substitute Xherdan Shaqiri who launched Bayerns scoring move with his first action of the match. Shaquiri released Franck Ribery and Thomas Mueller knocked in his cross at the far post in the 63rd. It was Muellers third goal in two games, after he notched two in the midweek 4-1 win over Hannover in the German Cup. Dortmund had a much easier time at home against still winless Freiburg, which lost defender Fallou Diagne to a red card in the 45th for a last-man foul on Lewandowski. Freiburg goalkeeper Oliver Baumann parried a long-range shot, Lewandowski pounced on the rebound, Baumann blocked again but Reus was there to lift the ball over the goalie for Dortmunds lead in the 35th. Reus converted the penalty after Diagnes foul to double the lead. Reus supplied the pass for Lewandowskis first goal. The striker shook off two defenders and chipped the ball over Baumann. Lewandowski made it 4-0 with his sixth goal of the season, connecting with a square pass at the far post. Jakub Blaszczykowski completed the scoring in the 79th. In Leverkusen, Sidney Sam and Simon Rolfes combined to secure Leverkusens victory. Wiith six wins in seven games, Leverkusen is off to the best start in the clubs history.dddddddddddd Leverkusen next plays Bayern. Sam sent a free kick into the box and Rolfes rose to head home in the 23rd, before Sam slotted home after a through ball from Rolfes in the 37th. The most entertaining match was Hoffenheims comeback against Schalke. Schalke has never won at Hoffenheim and stayed true to the tradition despite a 3-1 lead. Kevin-Prince Boateng scored in the third minute for Schalke, firing home from the middle of the box after an inside pass form Max Meyer. Joel Maltip headed in a free kick from Jefferson Farfan 10 minutes later to double the lead, before a mistake by Schalkes defence allowed Athony Modest to cut the deficit with his sixth goal of the season. Marco Hoegers solo run produced Schalkes third in the 40th. Dennis Aogo, who had released Hoeger, tripped Kevin Volland to give away a penalty in the 48th and Roberto Firmino converted to start Hoffenheims comeback. The equalizer came when David Ambraham drilled the ball over the wall with a free kick in the 61st and Firmino hit the underside of the crossbar late in the match as Hoffenheim nearly won the match. In Frankfurt, Stefan Aigner, who had earlier struck the crossbar, set up Eintrachts goal in the 31st with a good run down the right flank. His cross was met at the far post by Johannes Flum, who easily put it in. Hamburg equalized with the last shot of the first half, in the third minute of added time, when Pierre-Michel Lasogga scored with a powerful header off a corner. Eintracht deservedly regained the lead in the 54th, with a wonderfully executed free-kick set piece. Marco Russ, the fourth player to touch the ball, slotted from close range at the near post, with the Hamburg defence reduced to the role of spectators. But Hamburg again equalized late, on Marcell Jansens deflected shot in the 86th. In Berlin, promoted Hertha fell behind to an early goal by Nicolai Mueller, his sixth of the season, before substitute Sami Allagui scored twice in the second half and Anis Ben-Hatira completed the comeback.
