RG3's first year felt like this too. In the beginning... Howell is growing, as was RG3. It's a brutal process. Here's to his continued growth and longevity as a Commander!

No NFL team or fans "deserve" a stadium. It needs to have a financial return to the taxpayer if government is going to put in money. The Chargers left San Diego because the city voted to not spend money on a new stadium. The owners got LA to do it and built So-Fi which is a great facility, shared by Rams. I feel the stadium should be privately funded. The DC govt gets tax revenues from retail and transportation revenue so could pitch in. But only if the INCREMENTAL tax revenue has an ROI.

My takeaways from the game: 1. Sam Howell is still too slow. It seems to take forever for him to work through his progressions. Makes it really hard on the O-line. Dude is going to take some sacks this season. Ouch. 2. O-line is a weakness. Sam doesn't help the line, but the line is vulnerable to both edge speed and bull rush down the middle. Ouch. 3. Jackson is a cut above. Fun to see him play. Wish we had someone that crazy fast, agile and accurate! Amazing player.

It is darn near impossible for Howell to light it up in his first NFL game and that too behind a beat up O-line. The best he can do is hand the ball off and not get himself killed.

We need a couple of years of top round picks in the OL before any QB can be effective

TH is all hussle. O-line is balling. But still only 7 points. Freaky game.

nail in coffin.

Audition game for WAS. Aaron, please come to WAS next year. We need a QB

I watched the tape of last year's playoff game against Tampa Bay. Their O-line held up really well. Our D-line was not able to get much pressure and it's wasn't because Brady was getting rid of the ball quickly. There were moments where someone broke through but in general, Brady had a very clean pocket. They line barely moved on some key passing plays! Got me wondering if our D-line is really all that great. Matt Miller recently called it the best D-line in football. They seemed undersized compared to Tampa. I'm no expert. Just sharing what I saw. Does anyone who understands football a lot better than I do share their observation on how good our D-line actually is (not how high they were drafted). Thanks!

Really proud of my team today. For the first time in a long while. A very long while. Taylor was lights out today. Did he have a hot hand? Can be perform like this consistently? Does he have the arm strength to throw a deep accurate ball? Can't wait to find out next year.

Red States need to focus on improving education standards.

Oh, geez, not this again. It was funny back in the day. But now it just reeks of broken hearts and false hopes. Z-shades, Malcomb, Jason Candle, Bug Eyes, Brandon Lloyd the Rapper.. it's all coming back. Too much pain. This team has been a very hard one to love. Some things are better left in a box in the attic.
