I agree we have reason to be optimistic, but I'm with Punch. Until we show it on the field this team hasn't done anything to get excited about.

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
Ron and this team needs to get off to a fast start
And god damn it…Logan, Fuller and ESPECIALLY Chase Young needs to be on the field week 1. I’m tired of this lingering bullshit and excuses, get on the field.

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
Finally some movement on the coaching hires, owners must be happy with this ( though what else can they do on the eve of week 1), wonder if this means we'll see some movement on contracts

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
It's all on paper right now, but I think there is definitely an argument to be made that the current starting O-line is better than what we had to begin last year. The jury is still out on whether Charles/Paul will be an improvement over Norwell, but I don't think there's any question N Gates at Center is an improvement over C Roullier coming off two terrible leg injuries, and Cosmi > T Turner at RG, and Wylie > Cosmi/Lucas at RT. Maybe they won't be a top 10 unit, but I feel a lot better with that lineup than I did with the initial lineup in 2022.
Are Norwell & Turner even playing this year? |

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
Something to not overlook … This team has a much better attitude going into a season in a long long time …as disgusting as Snyder was to us the players probably didn’t think much of him either .. I believe this team will play with way more intensity and focus … how many wins I can’t say but I would not be surprised to be in every game and make a serious playoff run … we shall see

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
The bottom line for me is, there's no way the current team is worse than last year's team at this juncture. There's not one position group that is worse. It's also possible that the team is much better, but will not have a better record due to the more difficult schedule.
Either way, I agree with you Punch. It's results that matter - and we'll start getting those in less than 5 days. |

Completely possible that this team is better but the schedule stops our record from being better. Pretty much exactly where Im at. It is ok though, we can still see better Quarterback play, better play calling, and a more functional offense, also an overall more competitive team. All without Snyder. It is exactly what keeps bringing me back to one more year. Let the new ownership group have a real offseason. If we surprise people this year, well that would be awesome. We damn well better make a strong statement against what is widely regarded as the worst team in football in five days! Winning has been known to breed winning. I am elated about the Snyderless future of this team. It cannot be overstated how important it is that the clown is gone. |

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
Gonna be interesting who the next scapegoat gonna be .. this fan base seems to swirl in a toxic atmosphere… I’m sure now That Danny is gone ( and that’s ALL I heard for years was he had to go and all would be gold) well He is gone and we haven’t even played a real game and a lot of fans still love to ride the negativity wave .. I’m not gonna be one of those .. I’m not interested in bashing the Commanders ! Snyder is gone.. Let’s Rally and support the new ownership..HTTC !!!

Well in fairness, I dont think anyone meant that we would “immediately “ be a vastly improved team because he was gone. It is immediate satisfaction simply because we know that the new ownership group is capable of winning, eventually. Snyder was never, ever going to win anything. And I don’t see anyone on here bashing the Commanders. I see people pointing out potential weaknesses like any fan base. |

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
The game is sold out. SOLD OUT!! This ain't a bunch of Cardinals fans coming either.
I think the fan base is plenty positive and ready to roll. Except maybe Davy, his post just made me curl up in the corner.

That is one immediate consolation of Snyder being gone for sure. I think it being opening day and against a shit team that should equal a win helps. Davy is right. Our oline is rag tag at best. Doesn’t mean he or I hope they fail. But it is going to be priority one this offseason. |
