First JDR is a ferocious animal and his scheming won the game for us without a shadow of a doubt. We had no run game, one wr, and an inaccurate quarterback but scored 27 points. Why? Because our defense put us in position to score.
Secondly that our offense has to be able to move the ball the length of the field. Otherwise this game will be a great memory clouded by another season of shit Monday mornings.
So HTTFT today, but Haskins better hone his skills fast, and some other playmakers besides McLaurin better step the fuck up.
The first half was what I expected only worse, and the second half was what I hoped for but only better. My emotions are shot. Lol.

Punch you have to be the most Jekyll & Hyde fan on here. I mean you basically wanted to fire RR at halftime... lol.

Fact check: true

What about him? No surprise from me, he and Fuller should be the starters.

What can say? I didnt get to see game but heard the score was 17-0 so all hope was lost then,thought final would be 41-12 or something similar,so to come back and win was pretty impressive.I saw someone mention the gandy golden kid,I had forgot about him,did he play and if not why not?
And couldnt help but notice A Pterson kicking ass for Lions today

- While the Dline dominated Eagles offense, it's easy to forget how depleted Eagles Oline is. Young showed how much he still has to learn, an aging LT Peters won almost all battles against Young. Although I loved how Young tried to attack the ball while sacking Wentz. Other bonus - Wentz often evade sacks from us but not this game, all LBs and Dline were careful when approaching Wentz, I think that shows how well JDR and defense coaches trained the players to be disciplined.



- Our LBs cannot keep up with TEs, that is a concern when we play against teams with great TEs. Fortunately for us, there aren't that many teams with athletic TEs. JDR obviously made a nice adjustment for the second half to prevent the duo TEs from feasting on our defense.



- Our Oline is weak and couldn't open lanes for our RBs. I could see why the coaches really like Gibson, he tries to hit holes fast and hard but there isn't much Gibson and Barber could do if the Oline don't help out.



- It looks like we managed to solve our red zone issues, we also learned how to capitalize on the defense turnovers. Those 2 are the areas we have struggled in for years. Big kudos to the new coaches!

Point to be made is that Wentz/Ertz/Goeddert may be the best QB TE duo set in the NFL. That the defense found a way to adjust is a terrific sign of things to come, and add in a JDR LB from the draft and next year will be even better!

Yeah I don't think he had a bad game at all. After an awful start by the whole team he was pretty good while being pressured on most plays. The fact that he got the leadership to make a halftime speech after a mediocre first half is inspiring.

It was actually after the first two minutes, and I wasnt alone lol. I might have been the ring leader though. You should know you cant take game threads at face. I said ill eat crow, and honestly im still extremely worried about our offense and our secondary and middle linebackers. The d line which is clearly our strength was up against a completely decimated o line too. Ill up my 3 win season to 5.

The Oline worries me.

But I disagree on the secondary: Moreland and Moreau are really good IMO. Fuller should be back soon and we know what he's capable of. Darby looked a bit slow but every body looker bad early in the game. Collins looks like he's back to being him.
Only question mark is Apke. The guy is fast but that's about it, bad vision, bad angles...

I like our LBs squad. Bostic is a tough mofo, SDH has talent, I still don't get why KPL got the starting job over Holcomb but he wasn't awful either.

Here is my main takeaway from yesterday. We beat a division team, and Dallas lost to a team on our schedule that we play at home. That's a great day and a great way to start the new era of Washington Football.

It's all good, the game thread to me is pure comedy.

I think our secondary benefited big time from Wentz getting his dick knocked in the dirt. That was due yes to our front 7 but also due to that o line. They are missing every good olineman they have. Next week will be more of a true measuring stick....,
Bostic is tough but we need an upgrade there. They are not quick enough to cover in the passing game.

I love it. I think im so used to calling for heads in there that the past 30 years got the best of me. I enjoy SD alot. He is usually equally as pissed off but his cursing is just awesome. Total comedy in there but good place to vent so you dont kick your dog.

The Oline is definitely a concern...I’d really like Charles to get healthy and join the fray at LT or even LG.

I saw some good and some bad with blocking from Moses as well as Thomas. Thomas wiffed on 2 run blocks where their could have big gains.

Second level blocking was extremely iffy yesterday...
