OT: New Owner! New Name? New Season? New Everything!!! — Oh, and New Thread. All things Washington NFL FootBall (beat it, Dan-Bag!!)

[Beef Invictus]

This is... ugly.

I know the odds are that is the typical "RR slow-start that dooms us from contention," likely to be followed by the just-as-predictable "period of reasonable competence that keeps us from a top-5 pick," but there's a part of me that hopes this whole thing really just falls apart.

Maybe the new regime doesn't need an excuse to blow the whole thing up, but if this season really toilets, they won't have a choice.

Sweet Jesus, would I love to see an honest-to-goodness real, professional talent-evaluation and acquisition operation in place, informed by a smart, competent coaching staff with a clear plan of what they want to implement and the kind of personnel they need to do so.

I know, I know. But life without a dream really isn't "life," now, is it?

I think that's going to happen. It's what Harris does. DC is currently set up to be as bare bones as possible so Dan could have maximum influence. That's dead now.

Jet sweeps are my favorite.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

I really dislike running the ball out of the shotgun. Especially inside the opponents 10. It doesn’t give the RBs a chance to hit a hole at full speed.

Throw Jackson out of the game

 

[Beef Invictus]

He jumped into his head. Eject him

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Nick Gates is an NFL version of an enforcer. He’s a keeper.

 

[Capsman]

Jackson needs to be suspended.

 

[Eirikrautha]

That's two weeks in a row for Jackson. He needs to be ejected. Granted, Logan Thomas is made of glass, but Jackson launched himself helmet first into Logan's head. If they don't kick him out, an offensive lineman needs to break Jackson's leg on the next play...

 

[Capsman]

He jumped into his head. Eject him

Unfortunately it’s not college football. If the NFL cared about its players they would do the same. Especially with an egregious one like this. But I expect him to be suspended in addition to a fine.

Throw Jackson out of the game

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

that’s about as dirty as it gets in today‘s NFL. massive fine and suspend his ass….

 

[marcel snapshot]

Man, if that was Tom Wilson launching into a guy like Jackson there, he’d sit for 25% of the season

And now the obligatory RR failed two point conversion early in the game that will inevitably come back to haunt us

Reverse doom-mongering: you’re welcome

 

[Capsman]

I stand corrected, new rule?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

I stand corrected, new rule?

I think so. I was surprised they kicked him out.

au contraire mont friere….

Well, looks like RR got bailed out...

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

It’s been a rule since 2017.

NFL bans line leaping, approves ejections for head hits

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

They made an interesting comment that the delay allowed the league to jump in, review and spot eject….

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah, you don't often see it though because most guys aren't that stupid.

 

[RedRocking]

Howell needs to climb the pocket instead always spinning out to his weak side

 

[Beef Invictus]

Howell needs to climb the pocket instead always spinning out to his weak side

He's done it a couple times.


That seemed like a weak f***ing call

 

[Beef Invictus]

WOOOO

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Howell needs to climb the pocket instead always spinning out to his weak side

It’s maybe his most glaring weakness to me….needs to learn to work within in his protection….

 

[RedRocking]

F**k me it’s a 7 pt game.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Heck of an end to the half. They are back in the game.
