No doubt, and I don't care. Injuries are part of the equation.

KK has never been considered a great offensive mind, and we're missing a #1 CB (not even close), so there is a ceiling on how good this team can be. OL is actually playing a bit better than I expected (and yes, they could be playing better).

Penalties have been awful though. I can't think of worse times to take such big losses on penalties through these first two games. That needs to get fixed.
I feel like this is the exact opposite of what we have heard all offseason. Great offensive mind bad HC

At least the kicker situation was resolved for a week at least

While I personally wouldn't go as far as to say the Commanders uniforms are Awesome....I will say that the uniforms looked MUCH better with the yellow pants with the Burgundy jerseys

Re: We Slayed the Jones Dragon Post-Game Thread

Good grief - just read that BRob’s 133 yards made him the first to rush for 100+ since 2021. Yeesh.

We're on the same page about this - I think that is our best pairing.

Glad we finally slayed the Giants but it could've been a whole different game if Gano doesn't get injured on the opening kickoff.

Highlights:

Pass defense played slightly better. Good to see guys actually breaking up passes and playing tighter coverage.

Run game - Robinson and Ekeler were great. That 40 yarder by Robinson, I couldn't even track which way he went into the pile so that was pretty amazing to watch. Glad to see him break a couple but I wish he had that finishing mindset - if he breaks that last tackle we're talking about a badly needed touchdown.

Jayden Daniels' poise - cool as a cucumber on that last drive.

Zach Ertz - he is definitely earning his money right now.

How could I forget our new kicker - clutch as fuck for one week at least. Hope this is the end of our kicking woes.

Lowlights:

Mike Davis - I put partial blame on the coaches but he was getting lit up by Nabers. After it became clear Jones was keying in on Nabers they should've started jumping routes or double covering him. We could be talking about a different game if he didn't drop that last pass.

Daniel Jones - still waiting for the day when we make Jones look as bad as the rest of the NFL does.

Defensive coaching staff - They didn't adjust to Nabers lighting them up that quickly.

Passing game - I know it's a slow learning process but the amount of screen passes at the LOS is too damn high. I swear we see that called 5+ times a guy and the D is ready for it. Not sure if that's on Daniels or Kingsbury but Daniels is not in sync with the WR's.

Penalties - as a collective group they need to tighten up. All the false starts and other penalties are terrible.

The Unis are better with gold pants for sure but I still think an upgrade is needed to the Logo , The W is so plain

Apparently he was hurt before the game but if he doesnt get hurt they dont go for it on the 4th down drive that ends up being a TD so they may have had less points.

Yeah, we can't really assume what "would have" happened. Losing their kicker changed their decision making, but doesn't mean it would have changed the ultimate outcome.

I like the W logo a lot. I've always liked the gold pants. They should wear them every week. A strong no the black unis and the pink and white jersey. Gotta get back to the B&G every week.

Re: We Slayed the Jones Dragon Post-Game Thread

Feels good to win against another bad team--especially the gints, who have had our number. Progress from Jayden, but he has to learn how to avoid the big hits. Nice game from BR.

As for the rest, I think the goal is to find out who can play and to be patient. We're going to lose some games here, folks. The team just does not yet have the bodies. Build the culture and find out who is worth keeping.

At the very least, we can fix the friggin penalties!
