Game Day Thread - The Commanders @ The Jets ~ The One Where One Gets Grounded

[zCommander]

I do feel bad for Howell and even said so before the season started that this year will either be a curse or a blessing depending on how the OL plays. We now know how that is going.

The real bummer is this isn't a 2 year type turnaround looking team. This feels like 3-4 minimum. It's all bad, everything. 

Goes to show how bad Rivera, Mayhew and Co. have messed things up

Cbs says howell wil not be the guy next year

This is what drives me crazy.  That's not at all what they said.

 

Simms said he thought Howell could be the guy, but now he's not sure.  Said he has a future in the league, but maybe not with the Commanders.

Doesn’t matter who the QB is if we don’t fix the line. That line is code red. 
 

FA is slim pickins.

The line has held up for the most part today. He's darted away from some clean pockets. I think he's seeing ghosts. A lot of that stems from the hits he took earlier this year, but I still believe his height has a lot to do with him leaving clean pockets. He can't see over the line.

Adam Archuleta what the ****

I was talking about Siemian. He couldn't even make the throw to the line of scrimmage.

We all knew before the season that this was basically the starting O-Line from Our Lady of the Worthless Miracle High School, but hoped they'd come together somehow.

 

They never did.

Yup! Plus Sam will ore than likely still be here if not start regardless of what CBS says.

Draft OL early and often

[MartinC]

Will Sam play the second half 

 

Ron “Let’s see …”

 

Just fire him now.

I think we looked the same way in Gruden's last year where Callahan replaced him and the next year we were right back where we started

Only Boomer said it and no one else agreed with him. They noted the putrid O line and the lack of support around him.

Phil Simms saying Sam Howell just getting run over. No chance, no time.

They should give me Phil’s job.  I’d be engaging, with a dry humor that would make Steven Wright blush. But without the boring douchery apparently brought on by actual serious football credentials

Not that I’ve heard. I wanna know if he’s still married to that playmate

You don't see Howell spinning into pressure. That one play when it was 3rd and 7 and he didn't see a wide open Logan Thomas. Instead he panicked and spun right into the pass rush. I saw the same thing last week in LA.

They’ve had some decent moments. 
 

But Wylie is a turnstile, Gates has whiffed more than once, they are in complete back pedals asap and they still struggle with stunts. 
 

I get it. You don’t like Howell. And yes, his happy feet have contributed to the issues today. There is no doubt about it.

 

But the line has been awful.

I thought EB would be good for Howell after the wonders he did with Mahomes (apparently). Keeping Turner would have been hell of a lot better!

I agree

Traveling for Christmas this year has thrown me off and I somehow forgot football was on today. Reading the first 10 pages of this thread was hilarious and I'm glad I missed it all and didn't end up wasting my time 😂
