The only play I saw from the game is Dyami Brown having a wide open TD pass bobble off his hands. I think I'm about done with him. Not gonna cut him, but he should be WR5 and inactive on game days.

i think he should be cut. He’s not worth the roster spot at this point.

I know it's impossible, but I really wish they could have brought the entire first team out to go win the game.  Have Wentz launch one to Terry or Dotson just to stomp on the Raven's stupid preseason record.  Then take a piss at mid-field.  

You realize almost none of the players committing those penalties will actually have a job in football in about 5 days, right?

Yeah I realize that. I’ve been watching football all my life. You know what else I realize? Baltimore’s a well coached team. You didn’t see their third and 4th string guys make boneheaded penalty after boneheaded penalty. Wanna know why?  Bc they expect discipline and effort from who ever is on the roster for as long as they are on the roster. 
 

This team will come out and perform just like it did in the preseason in week 1. Move the ball a bit and stall in the red zone bc Scott Turner has zero creativity or feel for playcalling and then fall behind because the defense can’t get off the field. 
 

Im just so sick of it. 

But you know what???? LFG! I would love to end Baltimore’s preseason streak right here abs right now. 

Crazy amount of penalties. This team is just so poorly coached.

It’s safe to say this organization has been trying to build a top tier defense.

 

Great job on that 😂

But without any linebackers and secondary guys. The d line needs time to get there. We give all receivers free releases and in man we can’t keep up and in zone we get destroyed. It’s a horrific scheme.

Rivera himself was involuntary unemployed at the  time he got to this team, too. He owns all this. 

I completely agree with this.  It's hard to watch.  This entire staff is clueless and you can tell the players know it.  When guys know they are not being put in a position to succeed, they stop believing and their play is flat and uninspired. 

I don't get Rivera.  How can you surround yourself with Turner and Del Rio and expect results?  Both guys will not be coordinators in this league after they all get fired here.

I agree.

 

If you read this thread and didn't watch the game, you would think Washington was losing 56-0. 

 

I think they haven't done too bad considering the Chiefs are most likely a Super Bowl contender (they always are with an MVP QB like Mahomes running things) and the Commanders aren't.

 

I'm not really disappointed.

 

 

Don’t worry there will be time to be really disappointed during the regular season. This was just preseason disappointment. 

No one. And I mean no one on this defense can make a play. 

Can anybody he on this defense make a play?? Cmon. 

Howell looks good. Very promising.

If that happens, the entire staff should be let go.  It'll be proof they're building nothing (major injury occurrences aside, of course).

 

Ron has everything and I mean everything on his side going into this year.  3rd year, starters on D unchanged from last year, so zero excuses not to be on the same page, 6th easiest schedule in the league, next to no hot-shot QBs to worry about, has his hand-picked QB that he professes to love.  Scott Turner has a bunch of very good (if not great) weapons at his disposal who all know his system.  He's out of excuses, too. 

 

If we should look like this during the season (like we did the last two years) then Ron should be in hot water.  It's his show, his hand-picked crew on an off the field.  

 

I just can't stand the excuse of "we probably won't get anyone better".  That may be true - heck, I believe it is true,  but you're a total loser organization if you let that stop you from holding the current regime accountable.  Cinci lost a billion years holding onto Lewis because they were afraid he was the best they could do.  Are we going to do the same for Ron IF his team doesn't show that 3rd year leap with everything set up for them to do that very thing?  Because I thought the objective was to - at the very minimum - field a consistent winning team (and that means truly winning 10+ games, not this technical game above .500 crap, and eventually win SBs....

Agree with all of this except the hot water part. He should just be gone if he doesn’t produce show serious strides this year. I think he will be bc he’s either too loyal or not bright enough (or both) to realize what a liability both of his coordinators are. 

Love Shaka Toney. Make him a starter. 

Another 15 yrd penalty on the defense. Just giving up 8 yards like it’s nothing with another 15 tacked on for good measure. Normal commoders football. 

Nice throw. Good play by the DB. 
 

Special teams looks awful as always. 

Can we go three and out when we had second and 1?????

Turner is conservative when he should be aggressive and aggressive when he should be conservative. Just a total dud.

I know Andy Reid said this week that he was using Week 2 as the dress rehearsal instead of the normal Week 3 most teams use.  Was there any word if that changed Rivera's approach to the game?  I believe in his other seasons here he maintained the Week 3 norm.  

good point. My guess is that Reid’s theories of when the dress rehearsal is wouldn’t impact Rivera’s approach…at least I hope not. 

This team just looks totally unmotivated. There’s no passion anywhere. It’s strange bc you’d think there’d be some excitement at least in preseason but you don’t see it. Guys just seem like they’re going through the motions but no one believes or really wants to be here. Very odd. 

Every third and short is a low percentage throw. Where are the crossing routes??? Third and 4 should be automatic for an offense in this day and age. Turner can’t figure out how to exploit any matchup. Haven’t seen him do it ever.

I'm still iffy on Turner as OC (I don't even need to reiterate my disbelief in JDR at this point, yeah?).  It still feels like a very old-school designed offense and while adding speed is going to help, like it would for any coordinator, it still seems too horizontal.  Maybe the offense is holding the downfield throwing back during the preseason the way the Chiefs don't need to due to being a known commodity, but either no one is getting open downfield, Wentz isn't 100% comfortable in the scheme yet, or they just aren't calling the big plays until Week 1.

ive seen enough of Turner to know that he’s not the right guy. He has no feel for in game playcalling and his scheme just doesn’t take advantage of matchups the way modern schemes do. 

Lol. Amazing. Fire them all. This is absurdly embarrassing. I can’t take more of Turner and del Rio. 

Here comes another failed 3rd down conversion. I can predict the future by the way. 

It’s really hard to watch this Turner offense. There’s zero aggression or creativity. 2nd and 1 is the best down in football for an offense. We have had it twice and we run it up the middle…no misdirection, no aggression.

I will say now; we aren’t winning both our first 2 games. Either Jacksonville or Detroit will pull an upset.

thats not a bold prediction. We all want to ignore the facts with this team and the facts are that we have one of the worst coaching staffs in all of football. 

This team is just awful.  Awful in every single phase of the game in Rivera's third year.
