Our defense wasn’t the problem last night
People rightfully shitted all over the defense the first 4-5 week, they have better. More middle of the road than bottom half, that’s an improvement

Good news is they get about 4 days off before they go back to practice. Hopefully that time is spent resting up because they clearly need the rest.
Plenty to not like but despite the offense not doing its' job we were in it until the end. Defense probably got exhausted.
I also think that was our first failed 4th down of the season. Obviously JD is hurt because he skipped a lot of passes off the turf.

I agree with the sane non-knee jerk comments in here. It wasn't pretty to watch at times, but as ever this season, they went toe to toe with a winning team and barring some errors/bad decisions, could have won. It hurts, but look how far we've come in one offseason?
Last night was down to coaches out thinking themselves. If you can't get 1 yard on 2 run plays against that DL, then you likely aren't getting it on the 3rd. Try the FG, if you get the 3 you kick off and hope your D can keep them out of FG range. That shows more confidence in them than the gamble and putting them in must get a stop mode.
Can't blame any players, even JD5; he had a mediocre game by his standards, but he was under pressure all night and got little help from his receivers (Scary where are you?). Take 10 days to heal up and get guys back on the field. There is nothing saying we can't win out, whether the odds are bad or not, or at worst go 4 & 2 the rest of the way. We want to win the division yes, but that was pie in the sky 6 months ago, and we're on the cusp of the playoffs which was equally unlikely. As long as DQ etc. learn from their mistakes and we can stay healthy, we still have a very real chance of making the playoffs.

Everyone said all things here. It's funny how we were so concerned about our defense, only to realize that the offense was the problem in the game. JD didn't look like himself, for sure. Hopefully he will heal quickly with the extra rest.

Can we just get J.D. to lay like this until 11/24/2024:

Those ribs need to heal up. Watching our offense last night w/ him struggling, brought back terrible flashbacks of prior Washington offenses. The defense did all they could to keep us in the game until the damn broke in the 4th quarter.

I dont think JD is hurt as bad as some are assuming.. He was off because Philly locked down Terry and he had nobody else to throw to..

This team is still lacking talent needed on defensive side to help carry when the QB is off. The Chiefs D and special teams have bailed Mahomes out on multiple occasions this year. This team is quite frankly overachieving. This is what good coaching does, they get subpar people to play above their skill level. Offense needed to give them some help last night and the D couldn't hold but so long before the dam broke. Gotta be able to stop the run and contain running QBs.
It's obvious Daniels was playing hurt, regardless of what the coach said, it impacted him. He played terrible last night. Just one game, and we got 10 days for him to heal.

His passes were off man. That wasn't just the defense doing a good job either.

So ugly game after coming off an emotional and close game against the Steelers. We had a lead in the second half against both teams - teams that aren’t in year 1 of a rebuild like we are, and with a rookie QB. And teams that unlike WSH have had the rest of a bye week already.
We are definitely a few players away from consistently competing well against those teams, and even with last night’s implosion, you can see it. We had held the Eagles to 6 points at home through 3 quarters. That’s not a small achievement, although no moral victories in football.
We obviously need help in several areas - but I trust AP to fix it. He can’t do it all in one season but we are light years ahead of where we had any reasonable right to expect. With this leadership group, I feel we will get there.
Oh, and a fuck you to the Giants for giving Saquon to the Eagles. Nice job, dipshits. He’s a legit MVP candidate.
