Falcons postgame

Nice road win vs NFC team.

Was it my imagination, or did it sound like there were a ton of Washington fans there?

McTyer supposedly was carted out at the end of the game.

The cart is coming out for McTyer.

I didn't see much of the game, watching on Redzone, but was it just me that got the impression the D walked off the field after that play and all but ignored him lying in pain in the EZ? Was it just the way the broadcast focussed on the guys coming off or did guys go back out to check on him?

If they didn't I'm beginning to think there's a culture problem on D (what with the lack of hussle already highlighted).

Maybe just in part due to being lost in the moment, don't think they have that kind of culture problem, think you are looking for culture issues where ther are none. There are issues, everyone is baught in apparently and yet the results remain bad, not a case of them not giving a crap about each other though IMO.

Everett is a gamer too. I don’t get why Everett, Reaves and Curl seem to get the scheme last year and play well. Collins and McCain out there bumping dicks and pointing at one another most the time trying to figure out cover 2.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember last year that after Collins went out with his injury is really when our defense started putting the pieces together. I'm sure that's the correlation, and not the causation....but I distinctly remember the units gelling more after he wasn't back there anymore.
The lbs needed help in the off-season, but wasn't addressed. We all knew that. Dl was the strong point, and our secondary got the job done down the stretch last year. On paper we had 1 weak unit.
They have seemed to regress exponentially. It's a real head scratcher.
Offense is producing way better this year. Makes sense with the upgrades, and having a qb that is at least average by nfl standards. Our qb carousel is a joke, but even more so the last 3 years.
This team is really hard to have any kind of expectation for. I thought we would come into the year as 9-8/8-9 +/-. Now I'm afraid we are 3-12 4-13 +/-.

I've been critical of Heinicke but his leading that game winning drive was great. Unfortunately the D is still bad and had ATL had 20 more seconds Heinicke's efforts would have been for not.

On a side note, I listened to the broadcast on the radio for the first time in maybe 2 years, it was a tough listen. Julie Donaldson is terrible and MeAngelo Hall isn't much better. This is a far cry from the days of Sonny, Sam, and Frank.

Terry Bradshaw daughters are pretty fuckin hot. I bet their dumb as fuckin rocks tho.


I bet “they’re” dumb as fuckin rocks tho.

You are not wrong.... the correlation being Curl bringing coverage ability to the SS position and Everett and Reeves working on the back end when Apke was benched. They got abused in the first 8 weeks, much like now, but they also played many more good teams early in the season

So we hold are breath now for Scherrff and Thomas? If we aren’t having issues already……

And most of us probably thought we’d lose to the Chargers and the Bills. I know I did.

I thought we would beat the Chargers. Didn't think they were that much improved, coming eat and 1 pm start. I am still not sold on them they laid a huge egg against Dallass and could very well do the same tonight against Raiders.

Our Saints game is looking a lot better though

Washington's offense finally with several big plays in a game.

Taylor Heinicke had 4 deep completion today (20+ air yards). Per
@NextGenStats
, that's the most deep completions by a Washington QB in a game since Kirk Cousins had 4 in Week 17, 2016.

7 plays of 20+ yards today
