lol to all the hair puller... don't worry! our D will be just as bad with Henry and Toohill

 I think Toohill looks pretty damn good in limited action. Lets see what happens.

I mean, the offers must have been terrible if that's the best we can do. 

 

It can be both disappointing and illuminating. As in, the NFL really doesn't think much of him and so that deal is probably one to be happy with. 

You know how it goes. He will go to SF and light it up. He will probably be in the Pro Bowl conversation. That is how it usually goes for us. But this is the END of the Snyder era.  Gut the FO, say goodbye to Del Taco and Rivera, and move on. We desperately need a solid GM.

BYE BYE Young seeing 49ers

 

Well, he won't half-ass it there with his bud Bosa. Young def going to the playoffs with this team. Good move for the Commanders though.  

He needed that. Confidence building. Yes!

See these are the types of games the Commando's win.  And they have proven they can play the Eagles fairly tight.  The public will be all over the Eagles.  Magically our D line will perform better than they have all year causing Hurts to throw a couple of uncharacteristic INT's, something he has already done this year prior to yesterday's game.  Might be Forbes 1st pick 6.   And miraculously EB will adjust and call more slants, screens, and Sam will look vastly improved, as RR gloats over the "young man's quick learning curve."   And Dotson will catch the game winner and cry in his post-game interview.  And us fans will be drawn back in until the next game.

24 - Commanders

17 - Eagles

Yeah that is a real truth bomb.  I like Sam Howell.  This is hellish what he is being put through as essentially a rookie QB, by the worst O line I have ever seen.  The O line does not protect him. He has no time to decipher anything and I think this will come out this week, as the emotions die down and people watch the tape.  The Giants at will were coming at him from the edges, up the middle, unabated the entire first half.  And the continual stuck on stupid calls by EB were maddening. No screens, slants, to get the ball out quicker. I think Howell has a place in the league and I am rooting for him.  

I see Ron, his entire staff and any remaining FO hangovers, as the last piece of energy that needs to be purged for the real reset of this franchise.

Will Ron go for 2 if we score?

No.

Screen Passes come the **** on. We need them. Do them please.

We need a turnover on this drive.  Come on D. Do something.

That ball just floated in the air. Of course you are going to have an INT.  

It is a very inconsistent team and I just do not see a win.  24 Giants, 17 Ders.

Fuller might be out so it looks like Forbes might get some play this Sunday

Clearly he needs more chances, and I am hoping he pans out, but looking at the vid @Califan007 The Constipatedjust posted, he looks fairly slow, and confused at times regarding what is happening out there on those routes.   I hope it is just a learning curve. 

Pathetic series by Atlanta.  Now EB let's just have a solid series here and run out the clock. Lets run our rookie Rodriquez.  A few screens if necessary.

We're going to blow this

We are going to give it everything we got apparently.

I am a big Dotson guy but considering his drops and supposedly struggles to get open wonder what’s up with him. Feels like Terry by a mile is the most reliable target 

 

 

He never had a problem getting open before. I am baffled.

He really forced that in double coverage. Geez.

Turn your damn ahead around and play the ball.

This is the type of game we lose

I actually think these are the type of games we tie.

2 of his biggest targets he's just flat dropped.

 

I think he's been inconsistent.  Which is surprising.  

I agree with the inconsistent and that it is surprising. I guess I wish he would go to him a bit more, then Brown. 

Just now, Redwards said:

Dotson just an epic disappointment so far this year.  

What? He hardly gets targeted, it is more to Brown. and he caught a clutch pass against the Eagles to bring it into OT. 

Just now, Daniel.redskins said:

We just can't win with this defense.  Needs to be torn apart and rebuilt. 

I think the scheme sucks.  And Del Rio is stuck on stupid because he keeps doing the same thing. It is not working.

Everyone is expecting absolute perfection from Howell. It was a great drive and honestly had Brown have caught that pass and we would be sitting at 7-0.  You get so many opportunities and I think Atlanta is 7th in rushing the passer. That is not shabby.

I just don't see how Ron is going to take us to the promised land.   He makes some good moves.  He makes some good picks.  But he doesn't strike me special at his job.  He doesn't seem to have a sense of urgency.  As far as QBs hopefully Sam is the guy.  Otherwise I am not sure i trust this regime to find that next guy -- and that's not because I think they are bad at their job, its because I think they are just OK.. 

Very solid points about Ron. Some of his egoic statements surprised me until I thought about it some more.  For example, and I am paraphrasing here, that they could fire him and then they could send him his super bowl ring, next year, when they win or something to that effect.  And then of course we have Sideline Stoic Ron.  It looks like a bit of a contradiction to people.  But isn't it really the same Ron. He chose his DC and his OC.  And I think he views them as extensions of himself because he chose them.  One of things I was wondering about the other day is does he make the choice any longer to "go for it" and play Riverboat or is he leaving that decision to EB as his OC and Assistant Head Coach? 

  My main question is when it comes to the GM category who could build this team properly, who comes to mind? What is the talent pool available? Would we have to lure a GM away from a current team?  Could we do that?

That looked to be the case in the previous game where they appeared to purposely holding their ground to prevent Hurts from taking off. Thursday they appeared to be trying to get to Fields and rarely got close, that is far more concerning to me especially given the quality of that OL.  

I just look at the lack of sacks and watch how the defensive ends try to contain running QB's like Fields and Hurts, by trying to contain the edges, and force these running QB's towards the middle of the field. If they rush hard, I have noticed more times than not, the QB gets out of the pocket and a big play occurs.  I just think if we HAD good LB's they would be the ones coming up on say a Fields or Hurts as he gets out of the pocket OR assist on the pass rush or blitz.  I am not 100% sure Del Rio fully trusts the D.

It may be time for some personnel changes. Hudson deserves a shot to start. Barton is no sacred cow. Forbes needs to sit for a few games to get his mind right and we should let DJ be the nickel with BSJ and Fuller on the outside

Yeah, because it is evident to me that Del Rio does not trust this D overall, and would you trust your secondary at this point? Even if he did help put it together it is not working.  And I agree about Forbes, but they also have to let him get his lumps so he improves. I am not giving up on him yet, and as others have pointed out, he may need a certain scheme to be effective.
