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

[kicksavedave]

This is all because I pulled the Portis jersey out of the closet.

Janky Spanky energy

Sheriff Gonna Getcha!

 

[trick9]

Both RB's injured, defense torn apart and offense that got dominated by one of the worst defensive teams. Oh and need to go back to the kicker market.

F this.

Lose your RB1 and RB2 and lose the game to Dallas by way of bad craziness.

Very Redskinny

So? That's why I don't even like football anyway.

 

[Langway]

f***ed around. Found out.

Still have a shot at the playoffs but...uh...taking on water quick obviously.

 

[Capsman]

Fire Whitt or demote him to pylon in practice, while letting Quinn take over the defense. Give KK until the end of the season to show he can make adjustments. Badly outcoached by guys who aren’t great coaches.

 

[EroCaps]

I don’t even know where to begin with that last 5 minutes.

OF COURSE they miss the extra point. All the Terry McLaurins in the world can’t save you from the choking dog savants that are Kingsbury and Quinn.

How in Gods name do they come out against a bad team on short rest traveling when they have long rest and have dropped 2 in a row and look like THAT?

A true top tier HC simply doesn’t allow it to happen.

It’s largely personnel….no coaches are at risk today IMO.

Bro, the defense was not the problem. At all. They repeatedly gave KK short fields and kept them in it.

They’re human beings who get tired. When the offense is brutalized in time of possession eventually they wear down.

Except St Juste, who is a Rivera era basic bitch.

 

[RedRocking]

The loss is mostly on the offense (and some whacky special teams).

Whether it’s personnel that can’t block or catch the ball, or scheme - hard to say without All-22.

But they need to be more aggressive passing the ball early. Teams are stacking the box and just rolling coverage towards Terry. KK and Jayden have to go back to the drawing board.

I swear the best part of my Skins game days is coming back here to read the thread...

DOOM! VICTORY! DOOM! VICTORY! DOOM! VICTORY! DOOM! VICTORY! DOOM! VICTORY! DOOM! VICTORY! DOOM! VICTORY! DOOM! VICTORY! DOOM! VICTORY! DOOM! VICTORY!

...f***, DOOM, as it turns out...

 

[ynotcaps]

I don't think any coaches are in danger -- we are still shoulders deep in the muck of today's shit-show.

That said, I think the whole damn organization needs to figure out why, after 2 losses, a mini-bye, and facing a team that was falling apart coming into this game, only ONE guy -- Frankie Luvu -- came out on fire.

This was a total lack of preparation on the part of our entire staff. Figure out why it happened. And fix that shit immediately.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Still in a decent spot for the playoffs but they need to win the next two so they can host the Eagles at 9-5. Win next week then head into the Bye with a little momentum.

If there's a bright side to losing your top 2 backs, maybe it's that we'll break our tendency to run into the middle of the line on 92% of our first downs.

Dallas punted once in the first half. They consistently drove on us, an offense with a 2nd string QB that has been a disaster the last few weeks. That was their own contribution to fatigue. They were blowing through our front for 5-7 yards a pop regularly, their final rush numbers look worse because of their last drive when Rush twice bought time backwards. Staying deep on a receiver near the end of the first half was basic stuff, yet they failed. We took the lead early in the 2nd half and they true to form (right after halftime, when they should be reasonably rested) allowed Dallas to respond with a TD. They had a chance to help the offense after Bates’ fumble, they promptly busted a coverage for another TD. These are not isolated events. They do the 2nd half collapse even when the offense has had good first halves This D rotates players like any team. It’s opponent adjustments and lack thereof by Whitt. We never, ever, ever have an opponent QB confused by a coverage. Yes personnel is not great but he certainly is not helping.

different story if he makes the xp

Double meaning, for sure.

Only from decades of futility and heartbreak, can we withstand suck losses. My son became a fan 4 weeks ago. He's gotten a crash course. He could have been a fan for life if we won today. Instead he'll probably be shopping for a new team. Still asking me why we didnt go for 2.

I still cannot believe Quinn chose the XP on a day all kickers sucked. And of course just saw his star QB score a 2 pt. Rivera's excuse was his offense was tired.

Oh and my Jayden jersey is 0-3 since purchase. FML.

 

[RedRocking]

I’m not sure if 9 wins gets you in this year. But I had assumed they’d take at least 3 of the final games.

Now 3 out of: Titans, @Saints, Philly, Falcons, @Cowboys - suddenly doesn’t look that easy.

 

[ynotcaps]

Hard maybe. The XP ties it. We still would have had to stop them and score again.

We would have had to have gotten lucky to win that game at that point, and there's no good reason in the universe why we should have needed luck to beat the team that walked into our stadium today.
