Oh ok. He's not aging well. Lol.

Think we will see the Snyders dancing in the box tonight? 

 

Sorry in advance if it helps I am still scarred from the last time I posted it

When was that dancing Snyder clip taken? 1986? My Lord, recent pictures of him look like he's aged 3 decades since this dance.

I joke but knowing us he'll go to some good team and end up being a shutdown man to man corner "lolol"

That is incredibly likely. Frustrating as crap too.

It’s being discussed in the ownership/FO thread. An article from ESPN came out today, basically stating what we all confirmed anyway, but still pretty huge. 

I thought the big news was WJIII potentially being traded. Lol, I missed the other thing.

Unfortunately we'll probably screw this up too. Maybe get a 6th round pick but we'll agree to pay most if not all of his big contract instead of his new team paying it. Smh.

Anything is possible.  But first we have to jump that hurdle.  How do I think that'll go tomorrow:

 

That looks terribly painful. Wonder if he was okay or not. Yikes.

Beating the Bears is no not turning your season around. That will just prove they are worse than us. If we were beating the Chiefs or Bills then yes there is hope for the future. Right now no signs of going up even if beat the Bears. 

I wasn't asking if beating them would turn it around because they are prestigious in any way, shape, or form. Just meant can we get hot, starting tomorrow? I sure hope so. Atleast the defense has shown some pretty good progress.

Nope.

We had a 4 game winning streak in 2020 and also one in 2021. Man what I would do for another one right now. I'd be absolutely ecstatic. Of course there is probably only a 0.000006% chance of it happening.

Does anyone think we can turn our season around, starting with a victory tomorrow night?

One thing is for sure. With no Jackson, there will be plenty of Wildgoose! I think he has some raw talent. I hope he shows some improvement.

How did he go from above average to complete 💩 in two years.  Are we not using him properly?

Music to my ears… done with WJ3, feel like St Juste could be a great find for us.

People say that we use zone too much and he excelled at man in Cincy. However we also play man sometimes too and he's gotten smoked in those situations as well 🤷‍♂️

Would he have any trade value for another team?  Even if it just gets him off the books in future years, it would be addition by subtraction.  Over the Cap shows a dead cap hit of $3M in 2022.  Are their residential dead cap implications in future years?

I'm not sure. I'm sure the Cincy version of WJIII had some nice trade value. Washington version, not so much, lol. He has been such a massive disappointment. Smh.

William Jackson won't be traveling to Chicago. He says it's because of a bulging disc in his back. Not sure if that's all there is to it or not. Rivera refused to acknowledge Jackson's back as the reason for his benching vs the Titans. I guess we'll get to see St Juste on the outside tomorrow night, where he excelled at vs Philly.

That just gets more depressing the more I hear/see it. 

It's stunning really. Unfathomable to have zero fumble recoveries and just one turnover forced in 5 games. It would help if our dline would get their hands up and bat some balls up in the air. Other teams do it quite often. Leads to some easy ints. Of course we'd probably drop them anyway, since our hands are laced with butter and motor oil.

It's so surprising to me that none of these sacks have resulted in fumbles by the QB

It's unbelievable really. I watch Dallas have a rather mundane, nothing special sack on Stafford and naturally the ball comes out and they scoop and score it for the touchdown. Never friggin happens for us. Every qb we sack, has Hercules hands and grips the ball like worlds strongest man competitors 😡

I sat in silence on my couch with my head in my hands for probably close to half an hour, like someone died.

 

 

I pretty much did that two days ago. I desperately wanted us to win that game and the Bears game. Get to 3 - 3. Of course it wasn't meant to be 😢

Well with his size he should be able to handle that. But he is just not a prime back, and he drops too many passes to be considered good in that role which is currently filled by McKisson who is a much better receiving RB.   For the life of me I have no idea what Gibson has done to get all this love. This is his 3rd year, he fumbles and can't find holes.  He is who he is.  

Well atleast he's got zero fumbles through 5 games this year. For him, that's like a Super Bowl Championship.

I was in Dallas with my 9 year old son as well last week. I got passes to the lounge the players walk through. Terry McLaurin gave my son his gloves, Daron Payne a headband and one of the assistants gave him a game ball. My son is all in. I feel bad but then again when they do start winning again it will be awesome. I plan to try and go with him to every stadium and see Washington by the time he graduates college. We had a blast despite the loss. 

Wait, we're gonna start winning again? Man I hope you're right. I'm starting to feel like the world will end before we're ever good again 😢

It was awkward. I was hoping to avoid it a bit longer. But it was time. 
 

Last night, after I finally calmed down a little (this loss REALLY bothered me) I called my 10 year old son into our room and had “the talk.” 
 

Over the past two years or so his football fandom has drastically increased. His first love was baseball and he’s been into that for awhile; football came a little later, but it’s come on strong. He’s playing tackle this year and I’m the Coach so that has only further enhanced his love of the game in general. 
 

He is also now a Commanders fan. Kinda had no choice. Took him to his first game in Dallas last week— he loved the scene but was very disappointed with the loss. Today we watched out on the deck and he said his stomach hurt as the game wound down. He quickly walked away as it ended— he was very ready to celebrate. I stewed. 
 

As the afternoon wore on, I started to feel a tangible guilt. What am I doing to my son. I’m locked in here. I’ve made that choice. Honestly I made it around 1998 BEFORE Snyder even bought the team. That first post-Gibbs rebuild attempt was a terrible disappointing failure and those teams killed me. I think people often forget those stretch of seasons and how they helped set the table for what was to come. 
 

But I’ve stayed “in it” just as passionate as ever— the entire time. Obviously my expectation level has changed. My MOOD about the team has changed. My confidence level has bottomed out. But my personal fandom level is just like it was in 1991. No change. I don’t begrudge anyone who has bailed or who doesn’t care much any longer— but that is not the case for me. 
 

But my son is pure. He doesn’t have to be here. So I sat him down last night and told him he was free to go. Explained that this was a “save yourself” situation and that he doesn’t need to be a Washington fan just because I am. Hell, we live in Oklahoma— I told him to feel free to pick the Chiefs or Bills or Bengals or whoever. This was his chance. Fly away and leave your grounded Dad behind. It’s cool. I’ll even buy you a jersey of your choice (he was wearing a McLaurin jersey as we talked). I explained the history and why people hate Snyder. That it’s a transient demographic and isn’t same situation as Lions or Bills where the home atmosphere has stayed strong despite ineptitude. 
 

He took it all in, looked right at me and told me he’s in. He doesn’t want to bail. Feels like it’s his team and the team he wants to root for. I admire his resolve and bravery; question his decision-making. Sins of the father I suppose. 
 

So we ride together I guess. Misery loves company. I can only hope that sometime in HIS lifetime the misery lifts. 

I feel the same way you do. Luckily my daughter doesn't care a whole lot about football. She likes it but would never be in pain over losses, like me. I was in a vegetative state for about an hour after the game. We lose a lot but not usually in THOSE heartwrenching circumstances.

I've never seen a formerly mobile QB completely lose his athleticism like Wentz.  You would think his leg got chopped off and reattached.   Now, he actually averaging about the same rush yards per game as always has, but his movement around the pocket and scrambling just looks labored.

It's unbelievable really. Players have had much worse injuries than he had and still ended up regaining their speed, quickness, and agility, within a year or two. Just more of our bad luck. Smh.

Should we utilize Antonio Gibson as kick returner and maybe punt returner? I know he has had fumble issues in recent years ( although not this season ) but atleast he has 4.3 speed, quickness, and athleticism. Milne seems incredibly slow, no wiggle in him, and no explosiveness whatsoever. It's a big disadvantage in field position and frustrating to know that there is almost zero chance of a kr or pr touchdown.

I watch every minute of every weeks game. It’s just what I do, what I’ve always done. And I really really don’t know how to change it. But I know it makes me miserable. 
I recently quit drinking, feel the best I’ve felt in years… maybe turning 40 has me thinking about how I invest my time 17 Sunday’s a year. It’s completely joyless, it ruins my day, my interactions with people for the rest of the day. I need someone to men in black zap my memory and make me a chiefs fan (live in MO)

This is 100% how it is for me too 😢

Three plays from the 2 yard line and we have Wentz stand back there like a statue. For the last 3 decades I have watched so many rollouts in these situations. Often times it will give the qb an opportunity to run it in. Even if it doesn't, he can act like he is going to scramble and sometimes a defender will vacate their man to run towards the qb. Then the qb hits the now open wr, rb, or te for the touchdown. We never move the pocket for Wentz. I don't get it. I just don't get it...

Gotta suck to be an Orioles fan.  Holy moly... and then they have those periods where they actually look competent and string some wins together, come out the gates looking hot... and then:

 

 

But yeah, it's like that as a fan of this team, as well.  I've grown indifferent to it.  I'm just hoping we lose out and then maybe strike gold on a new QB...

Hey now, my Orioles just had a winning season ( 83 - 79 ) and have the #1 farm system in the mlb, according to multiple ranking sites. Also the new GM Mike Elias has promised to spend money this offseason. Unlike the Commanders, things are looking quite bright for the Baltimore Orioles!

I care. I will always care. I was so angry and distraught this afternoon, that I was shaking with fury, with tears in my eyes. Despite constant let downs for the last 30 years, I was so hopeful that we could get it in from the 2 yard line with 19 seconds left. This one hurt more than any game in a long time. I convinced myself that we could pull this off, then beat Chicago and be 3 - 3. We'd be right in the thick of things for a possible wildcard spot. I wanted that to happen so badly. Was praying for it. As usual, I had my heart ripped out yet again. I wish I wasn't so emotionally invested into this garbage. I wish I didn't care. I wish I could shrug it off. That's not the case for me. It never gets easier for me. I'm 40 years old now. Clearly it will never get easier for me. I anticipate all week long, it takes forever for Sunday to arrive and then it becomes a miserable day for me, 90 percent of the time 😢

I look at that list of QB's and I see 2 #1's, 2#2's and 1#3 picks.  And none are with their original teams.

Crazy.

Goff's name shouldn't even be on there. He's playing very well and their offense is flourishing. Their main problem is their terrible defense.
