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

[Chokingdogs]

Yesterday there was a perfect example of how memory can fail, get slanted, with the passage of time.

Early 4th I believe a graphic was shown, passing/rushing yards for a QB in first 4 or 5 games. JD has MOAR rushing yds than rgme over same time span. If I was challenged to a bet on who had more, I would have said rgme 101 times out of 100.

It seemed, my memory said, griffin was pulling it down and running every other play from the opening bell.

Not sure. How much rope does half a billion dollars buy? We're all products of our actions. So when a guy goes to such great lengths to tell you what a colossal piece of shit he is, believe him. Or just shrug, decide that the entire gaggle of women were liars, give him a truly ridiculous amount of money, and associate your city with his glowing reputation.

When someone can point at you and say, "Hell, even Dan f***ing Snyder never did THAT," you've probably crossed a line.



True, and he's only been accused of sexually assaulting a couple of people, so he's downright classy by comparison. Cleveland's latest tourism ad: "Are you a thief and/or a very rapey dude? Come to beautiful, downtown Cleveland! We'll pay you millions to quarterback our NFL team! You don't even have to be good at it!"



But for Commanders fans that advice feels like...

Sounds like you have some axes to grind this AM, my man. Imma stay outta that, and give you a nice…… wide…… berth.

Here's what I know about the NFL after week 5:
1. The Chiefs are very good
2. The Panthers are extremely bad
That about covers it.

Oh, and the 49ers, Eagles and Bengals are squandering a lot of talent.

Reflections on a Monday:

- Jayden is making this look much easier than I expected him to, and much sooner

- This coaching staff has done a jaw-dropping job of turning this battleship in a teacup -- whether it's the OL exceeding expectations or the entire D getting its collective act together and playing with discipline and fire to minimize it's talent deficiencies, the spirit of this team is 180 degrees from where it was

- knock on wood, it seems like these guys are high-character, both on the field and off. They fight their asses off on the field, work their asses off off the field, and do and say the right things (Note to RR: drafting for character is no substitute for drafting guys with character AND talent)

- We're not going to go 16-1, and this week seems like a prime spot for a return to earth, but no matter the result -- or even the process -- I'm not going to freak out because this entire operation has earned my trust

Is this what it feels like to be... content?
