Game Day Thread: The Commanders vs. The Bills

[Simmsy]

Well, at least the announcer is being nice and optimistic about Howell.

[Hdf561]

I hope y’all are not surprised. I said it week 1 this is still a bad football team, who only has wins over 2 bad football teams. Anytime we play someone halfway competent it’s going to be like this. 
 

Some son good stuff out of the D but you have to score points to win in the NFL, period. 

[JSSkinz]

Theres no pocket

He’s just not that good of a player, I don’t see where the what-coulda-been even is. If he wasn’t a fumbler? Even without that he’s barely above replacement level as a RB and pass catcher. Almost every team has at least one Gibson or someone better than him. 

 

We've never really used him properly.  Get him in space, on LBs and safeties and let him go.  Spent the first 2 years trying to make him John Riggins, then the last 2 not getting him the ball in places where he can use his skill set.  I still think there's something there, just for somebody else.

They’re going to win next week. 
 

Why?  Because that’s what happens in the NFL.  

nah. Sometimes, yeah. But my guess is that next week starts Rivera’s death spiral. Gonna be ugly, likely

Games like this can crush a young QB’s soul.  

If that's the case he doesn't have what it takes to be an NFL QB. He has lots of mistakes to learn from 

[Warhead36]

We cant give him one play with a clean pocket to stabilize.

Josh Allen was terrible the first game of the season. Peyton Manning holds the records for most picks in a rookie season (28). 
 

So yeah.

Yes, Jon Beck got sacked 15 times against the Indianapolis Colts, in 2011. He turned out just fine. 
 

It’s get better

[Voice_of_Reason]

Ok.  I change my mind.  I think it might be time to give the kid a break.  

[Sacks 'n' Stuff]

We are the Colorado Buffalos of the NFL.

[BigDibbs31]

Terrible oline and QB with terrible awareness. Recipe for disaster

[London Kev]

 Now this is just embarrassing.

Some guy got trounced 31-0 against Buffalo. Four picks.

Can't think of his name.

There is no reason to take swim in the Dead Sea after this type of lashing.

 

Let me put it in another way: We are not winning the game. You take out the QB if you have a chance to win. This is now just a practice game for Howell with good players on the opposing team, aka Bills D. Practice makes you better.

God help us Jesus. God and Baby Jesus help us! IYKYK lol 

[TheGoodBits]

Down 30-0 and they’re still making Howell drop back and pass every play. Game’s cooked, at least roll out a balanced offense and pretend it’s 0-0. 

[MrJL]

you're going for a punt block up 30

Nah. Give him the snaps. 
 

Don’t give him an easy out - he will want to finish this.

Yes—how long have you been watching football?

Scoreless, under 200 yards, 4 turnovers, really?

[AJ*]

I give the crowd credit where the boo-birds haven't emerged and turned on the kid.

[NoVaSkins21]

Kyle Allen time.  Garbage time.  Man, this team loves to put up stinkers at home
