OT: 2024 Washington Commanders thread: change we can believe in!

[Kazer]

Not being an ass, but did we lose yesterday because we didn't have a Higgins type WR?

If the Commanders have BRob, they might have won yesterday. Since Ekeler isn't that much of a traditional rushing threat (and the Ravens have a great front four), that allowed the Ravens to really focus on the pass game which made our offense a lot more predictable.

However, bigger picture, the Commanders will not be actually competitive* until they have a defense. They have some pieces in place, but there are consistent holes.

*In the playoffs not just competing for a playoff spot.

We know the D can’t make the big stops against the better teams. Too many holes to plug (with one CB), but we can try to outscore teams.

Yesterday we just couldn’t keep pace on offense. BRob would have helped, but not much.

Ravens were always going to take away the run and make us beat them in the air and we have like one legit threat there as well all know…

Very close game. I thought the flag on Ravens 3rd and long was terrible. That turned that drive from punt to Ravens TD.

Good fight. This was always a tough match-up and they dearly missed BRob here but still put up a great fight even though the defense got badly out-matched at times here.

On to the next one.

Higgins is a total beast. He and McLaurin would be savage together.

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 We're just six games into the NFL career of Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and it's already very clear the team has something special in the 2024 No. 2 overall pick. Knowing that, the Commanders have to be aggressive in building around him while he's still on a...

Agreed. There were some calls that I did not agree with …. PI’s. On BSJ. That said, he was getting torched all day.

Regardless, the measure of a good team, is what happens next. The NFL’s version of UMass is coming into town. Skins need to take care of business and do what “good teams” do…. Win and win convincingly.

That would show a lot

Hope this guy gets his. He drilled that poor guy in the 21 jersey, pretty badly. Not cool, like at all.

Oooh, boy. That's a tough call. I think he'd be MUCH more expensive than Higgins -- contract and cost to acquire. But he's Tyreke Hill. Hmmm.

Crazy price…..intriguing talent.

No to abusers.

Good point…

 

[Chokingdogs]

Back to reality game yesterday. A bit better than I was expecting, specially after opening drives. Unless something changes personnel wise, on D, that’ll be what we we’ll see against “good” teams.

As an aside, after 60+ years of skidz STs being in my immediate and local family, I’m finally going to see them live. Pokes game in November, that’s the good news. The rub is, not going with the fam, rather some friends, half of which are Pokes fanbois.

 

[John Price]

He hasn't been heard from much but his loss is going to impact the Dline sadly

Hope Newton can step up.

Or "accidently" pushed in front of a bus. (Does Baltimore have buses?)

Sort of telling that there's no mention of what D Payne is doing or needs to.

Apparently 94 was a captain yesterday, presumably as a nudge, "hey, big man, let's show up today" -- his response was to not to show up on the score sheet. Literally.

I think at this point we'd have to give up more assets just to get someone to take his contract.

Pretty cool that both these guys both do their thing in our front yard.

 

[kicksavedave]

I hear all of you on the defense. But: one WR is going to make more of a difference on that side of the ball -- making us even more dangerous -- than one CB is going to make on a unit that's deficient on the line and throughout the secondary.

The fact is, the D has put in 2 good performances out of 6 games -- so, yes, the plan has to be outscore everybody.

Which is why we need to keep all our draft picks.

Agreed, unless they are using it to fill an actual need as opposed to a want. WR is a want. Edge and CB are needs.

WR is a need, don’t be fooled. That will be validated in the coming draft I’m sure.

 

[DWGie26]

We are getting the most out of a cut-rate WR core. Terry is the man, but after that it is a bunch of tweeners. now we know who JD is and what he can do. I’d give up a draft pick to get a top 2 WR right now.
