Washington vs Card Pre Game

[rocnrik]

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 !!!

Leno, a healthy Saddiq Charles, Gates, Cosmi as a full-time guard, and Wylie at RT are definitely an improvement over last year's line. Are they the strongest unit in the team, NO. But saying that the line has not improved is outlandish. I feel like a lot of people are bitching about the line because we didn't get an o-lineman in the second round.

And yes, the running game should be much improved, since Brian Robinson has had a year under his belt, and I don't know, not being f*cking shot should help him a lot.

I give you that QB is an unknown, but last year Heinecke and Wentz were f*cking trash.

I know we have a tough schedule last year, but hey, you never know what will happen. Last year's team had no business beating the Iggles, but it happened.

This team has holes in some areas and they are very strong in others, like any other team in the NFL. But I'm tired of people just whining about the team being worst and the o-line and all this ignorant stuff without some context.

Wasn't it you who thought we would be much better last year because Wentz was a massive upgrade at QB? How'd that work out?

Leno deteriorated badly last year and unless he is Lazarus chances are he will be worse this year. People think Wiley is an upgrade simply because he came from the Chiefs, truth is he is garbage. Our guards are failed tackles and our centre is coming off a bad injury who has looked really poor in limited action since.

Improved???

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.

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.

Sorry, not being negative just for the sake of it. I'm really looking forward to the season. Just want to be realistic.

If they lose Sunday they might as well fire Ron right there and then

Speaks volumes about how excited the fanbase is that Dan is gone.

My hope is we turn out well enough that we give a home field advantage to the team and they handle business against a clearly inferior Cards team.

Yup. Me too. Not sure why a wait and see, prove it on the field attitude is met with such ire from the kool aid drinkers? Lol. Especially with this team.
There are pros, what appear to be a better quarterback. Our fans coming back. Secondary should be better with Forbes. There are cons, our oline still stinks (idgaf if it is better than last year, 5 blocking dummies would be too). Chase Young still can’t get on the field. Our HC is dead man walking. LB corp is still shit. Schedule is tough.

Pointing the obvious positives and negatives out shouldn’t make me a homer mcfan boy or a doom and gloom. I have no idea if this team will win 12 games or 4. Nobody does.

My gut tells me we hover around.500 until we have one more offseason. However I do believe we are headed in the right direction for one obvious reason. The head of the snake was cut off. Doesn’t mean the body isn’t still wriggling around for one more season until a competent owner fixes it.

I agree. This is as close to a sure thing this team has had in a loooong time and Ron has to have them ready to go from the first whistle. This game will be closer than it should be but I think the Commanders get the win and Ron stay for another week.

I doubt new ownership is looking to can Ron right off the bat or even during the season. Definitely wouldn't be a good look for them.

Welcome back Jaminson Crowder to the practical squad

It would be Danny-esque to fire a coach midseason in your first year of ownership.

Harris isn't that dumb. Ron gets the whole year unless things go horribly off schedule and he has some sort of health issue that allows him to gracefully step down.

I still think he retires at the end of the year if no playoffs or quick playoff exit.

I guess you know better than some of the people who cover the team and can give an objective opinion. You should email John Keim and tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Probably not, but it could be viewed as cutting all ties with anything DS and getting your people in there. If they gave EB the interim position it would also be a positive spin.

I definitely do not think they will do it but I just don’t think it would be as bad a look because of the situation.
