Looks like the Lions lost Hutch

Washington will end the day in first in the NFCE despite the loss and they’re playing the best of any team in the division. Jayden is the best QB in the Beast and I don’t think it’s particularly close at the moment. Doesn’t mean Hurts or Dak won’t heat up but the Eagles got lucky to beat the Browns at home, the Cowboys are a mess, and Joe Burrow is about to do illegal things to the Giants.

They have five games left against their rivals and it’s not outlandish to think they can take four of those games. Still in a good spot, today was the definition of house money.

Not remotely worried about Hurts. He's figured out. Everyone knows he doesn't throw to the middle of the field. Only sidelines. You can plop token zone coverage with 2LBs and then focus on the sides and he's got nothing.

There are plays where guys crossing the middle are just ignored by defenses in favor of focusing on the wide options and Hurts ignores the wide open dude. For someone listed as over six feet he plays like he cannot see past his line.

Was horrific. Won’t post it here and didn’t catch it in real time but the replay is gruesome.

Worst home loss for Dallas since 1988 if 47-9 score holds.

Also first time ever there was a 47-9 game in the NFL.

Love seeing Dallas get beat down! Skins still in sole possession of first in division.

That really sucks -- hell of a player and seems like a real solid, guy, too.

As for today, I think it's about what a lot of us feared/expected.

I had some hope based on the "any given Sunday" rule, but the Raven's are a better team than we are, and they've been building what they've got for years. As for our end, the D showed they're not as good as the previous 2 weeks suggested, but as others have said, the BAL offense should always be a machine, and today it was. We don't have the secondary talent needed to shut down good offenses, and the pass rush doesn't give it enough help against teams with decent-or better O lines.

Aside from the talent deficiencies on D, the biggest takeaway is that Jaden continues to grow and show week by week. This was the first game since the opener where we were chasing most of the game, and that can be where a rookie gets antsy and makes mistakes trying to push things that aren't there (hell, lots of veterans do the same.) But he didn't get sloppy or careless, didn't play hero-ball and was the reason we were still in the game. He looked really good against a defense that based its entire gameplan on stopping him.

And, yeah -- I'm still a Tee Higgins guy. After today's showing, more than before.

Back at it next week, with another chance to expand our division lead!
