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

[John Price]

16 points in 3 minutes here would be more miraculous than the hail mary

Down 16 running run plays

Every f***ing play should be deep at this point lol

 

[Roric]

Are you f***ing kidding me with all these running plays kingsbury

 

[John Price]

Also remiss if I didn't mention that failed 4th down play (or 2nd 1 / 3rd 1 / 4th and 2 sequence) was a huge game changer

Failing to convert there cost them the game

It tells you something. JD is hurt. They're leaning on the run even when trailing for a reason.

 

[John Price]

Kid's got some moxie.

TD Washington. They have some fight.

 

[John Price]

Where was that all game lol.

 

[kicksavedave]

Not dead yet.

 

[Devil Dancer]

New plan: throw to 86 every play. Every one!

 

[John Price]

Game

 

[kicksavedave]

Now they're done.

That set of plays was a massive fail on KK’s part. Not having a run-pass option was a really poor decision.

He’s lost some of his luster. He may be hurt (and if so I’m guessing more than his ribs given how slow he looks) but I don’t think he’s been getting beaten up that much this season. Definitely makes you wonder if he will be injury prone his entire career.

This defense is getting into the pattern of being lit up every 2nd half. Either it’s teams making adjustments or depth and fatigue. On that last sayquon run, nobody held their position for the cutback.

 

[max21]

Very frustrating, they have to come out and win these next 2 games. I f***ing hate eagles fans, they’re everywhere

 

[usiel]

Offensive play calling was not good as others already have pointed out. Fear based play calling if I had to put a name on it. Rookie LT getting beat like a rented a mule for sacks didn't help. Not sure if it was a lack of preparation or not but again the game could be had here not as much as the Steelers but just feels like I don't know.

 

[Ridley Simon]

I smell a high scoring loss. 41-24 (roughly).

They (Eagles) have more talent than us, on both sides of the ball. I’d wager we have better scheming, coaching, adjustments…..but that won’t be enough.

We will a +2 (at min) TO differential, IMO. Anything less is a defeat

Well, I was wrong about the high scoring part. And the better “coaching”.

Quinn pulled his inner “Ron Rivera” with that 4th down attempt on the 25. So so so stupid.

It’s fine. Growing moment. But man that was freaking dumb.

Skins AND Caps are hitting walls.

 

[Neil Racki]

Well f*** me sideways

Saw the first half and then got home and saw the score

That 4th down play smelled but seemed like the juggled snap might of killed that play but haven't looked at it more than once.

 

[RedRocking]

I’m so confused by this rib injury. Team keeps saying he’s fine and it’s not affecting him. But on game day, the broadcast says he’s wincing, and getting those wraps between series. This isn’t hockey, there’s no real reason to lie (teams are gonna hit his ribs regardless).

Seemed like in the Bears game he was short arming throws towards the end (where Romo remarked that “the shot” would be wearing off). But against the Steelers he had a lot of zip on the ball. Then tonight back to short arming. And crucially, he has no burst when he runs.

I don’t mind the loss or JD having bad rookie games. But, it will be a bummer if this is an injury that won’t heal this season, and we’ll just have this diminished version of JD.

He is getting pressured a lot more (Coleman a turnstile tonight), and drifting backwards on a lot of throws. The footwork is wonky - not in rhythm, confidently stepping into throws.

They get 10 days off - a lot of guys are banged up. Especially the o-line which is getting caved in. Hopefully the rest will help, and JD will look fresher against Dallas.

This was there for the taking, even though they really didn't deserve anything here. Defense was really good until the wheels came off but the offense never really got going. Propably the worst offensive performance so far, and you could tell the Eagles had watched the Steelers game. Hope this serves as a good wake-up call to Daniels to show just how much tougher these games are against great defenses.

Sucks to choke the lead again but it is what it is. Moving on, they really need this long break here, and bye week shortly to follow too.

Cosmi under the bus

DC talk radio is going to get what it wanted...a reason to bitch

 

[Langway]

Lost that game in the trenches. For as much as they still need key skill upgrades on both sides of the passing game their trench play also needs work to go toe to toe with the best.

 

[tycoonheart]

We are going to have games like these. Philly is just better than us. A lot better than us.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Played out about as expected last night. They can say what they want but Jayden hasn’t looked right since Carolina. I think they win both the Pittsburgh and Philly games with a healthy JD.

I’d have 100% taken 7-4 at this point when the season started. Their next few weeks: mini bye after last night, home vs Dallas, home vs Tennesee, bye week, @ New Orleans. Very manageable schedule with a few breaks built in which should help them recover a bit. Their next three QBs are Cooper Rush, Will Levis, and Derek Carr and all three teams are done for the year. Really no excuse not to hit the back part of the schedule at 10-4 which would have been a dream too good to be true before the season started.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Back to the reality that this was a very poor team quite recently.

I think you gotta draft O-line if available next year. Protect the franchise. Even though defense is obviously a bigger immediate need.

Yeah I feel better about it this morning, Philly is better at us at probably every position. Stroud, Allen and even Mahomes all have dud games here and there
