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

[DWGie26]

WTF… that is a penalty. Nobody even around him.

 

[Beef Invictus]

My mind is fairly blown at how much better designed this offense is compared to last year. Top to bottom. And the massive difference it has made in everything.

I even predicted that more balanced play calling and more plays with fast developing routes and actual check downs would make the line look better and I fell short of the reality

Are we ... good???

 

[John Price]

been a long time since I seen them layeth the smack down like this

might get a ribeye at the bar to celebrate. MEDIUM RARE.

 

[kicksavedave]

Are we ... good???

We don't suck ass anymore, and that's a massive change. Hail Josh Harris, Adam Peters, Dan Quinn, Kliff Kingsbury and Jaden Daniels.

 

[DWGie26]

Pretty impressive. This offense is good! And Dee tightened up. And our kicker was money!

Hopefully the Dee turned a corner this week.

Bludgeoning the Cardinals like the days of yore

 

[Ridley Simon]

Now approaching 20 of 23 drives with no punt by the opponent and scoring position drive. 8th worst defense in NFL history.

Now how do you feel?

 

[Langway]

Just a Nice Little College Offense.

Daniels is legit AI.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Firing Whitt has to start being in the conversation. Needs to at the very least be on the hotseat. Or Peters’ drafting and FA acquisitions need to be scrutinized.

Yeah, they should fire Peters. He has sucked. Team should be 4-0 with 4 shut outs.

Total travesty, and I for one, simply won’t stand for it!

Fire Peters!
Fire Quinn!

SELL THE TEAM; JoshBag!!!!

I’m totally with you!!!! Let’s create some real change we can be happy about!?!? (And truly proud of!!!!

 

[notDkristich]

I can't recall the last year it was fun to watch Washington football. Pinch me

 

[max21]

This is just wild

 

[Roric]

Ladies and gentlemen: We have ourselves a franchise QB.

 

[Chokingdogs]

Another game…another suck in. Hesitant to say I’m “happy” the D is kinda poopy, it is, so I’m not emotionally all in just yet.

Did I, or did I not, hear “let’s go redskins” chant with about 6 minutes or so left? Lol

Right? I'm not sure how to behave.

I’m INvested. 100%. JD5 makes it impossible not to be.

Defense played really well. Shockingly so.

Cleveland at home next week. Skins may even be favoured??

 

[Langway]

The way they've come together so quickly...have to believe there's something special cooking. There's a wave of confidence apparent that greatly helps offset many of their limitations. Now when they play stronger defenses and higher-end teams generally we'll see how they stack up but...the recipe looks very game against your average team. Keeping Daniels clean and him not needing to run so much is such a key factor. Make his life easy as a decisive manager with the odd scramble and they're going to be a factor (already).

Hell, look at the top of the NFC these days. Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Seattle. Not exactly greatness...

2012, until the Baltimore game. So, like 12 years, and before that 30 years?

 

[Ridley Simon]

So…. 3-1. 3 straight W’s. Next 5 games?
CLE
@ BAL
CAR
CHI
@ NYG

3-2 would make them 6-3! Then:

PIT
@ PHI
DAL
TEN
BYE Week.

2-2 would be great. Even 1-3 means 7-6 going into the bye.

Last 4?
@ NO
PHI
ATL
@ DAL

That’s hard. 1-3 again? 8-9?

I think 9-10 wins is certainly *possible*, but the sked gets a lot harder.

This team keeps getting better each week. They're like Neo in the Matrix final scene, starting to believe. We're going 16-1!

Whitt’s defense has been horrific. They ran through us like we were butter. Our offensive time of possession made the defense look better than it was. Didn’t say to fire him yet, but he should feel some pressure.

I didnt say that Peters sucks. I said either you have to look at Whitt or you accept that Peters did little of anything good to the defense (ie scrutinize how he handled that side of the ball). What has made this season special so far has been Daniels, Kingsbury, and perhaps Quinn’s overall team motivation.

 

[John Price]

kliff tributes post game

 

[EroCaps]

Daniels is him.

Kingsbury has been phenomenal. If OCs could win coach of the year he’d be leading the pack. The *perfect* game plan to this point. His offense doesn’t even have top 10 talent and it’s dominating.

The D had their best performance but is obviously lacking talent. Still, I’m going to need to see Quinn and Whitt at least get them into the 15-20 range. If you hire a DC to be your HC he needs to be able to elevate the roster.

Also Peters is crushing it with the RB, OL and Dotson moves.

His only real blemish for me is Johnny Newton… but it’s early. Same goes for Sinnott but he’s playing behind Ertz.

No he shouldn’t….other than the normal push to get better in every phase each week. This team needs to build and foster stability, not get itchy to fire guys when a team that just picked #2 in the offseason just held the Cards to 14 pts.

Why do you feel the need to assign blame? This wasn’t something that could all be fixed in one offseason.
