A Burgundy and Gold Obsession

Straight from his mouth. Despite the endorsement of moving on, that doesn't change the last couple years. How beloved he has been here. How much he has been rooted for, and how truly appreciated he is by the vast majority of this fanbase. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/taylor-heinicke-nfl-football-washington-commanders

The guys huddle to discuss the Commanders free agency moves so far - coach firings, player departures, and of course some key additions to the 2023 Washington roster...

about the offense in 2023. We have screamed bloody murder about the offense pretty much from the outset of the Rivera era. The OL sucks. We have no QB. The only skill position player worth a damn we have was Terry McLaurin. The OL sucks. We have no QB. The OC sucks. The calls the OC makes suck. The OL sucks. Well - things have changed. A lot. The braintrust acquired through free agency and the draft multiple offensive skill position talents. Curtis Samuel. Jahan Dotson. Brian Robinson Jr. Dyami Brown. They've fired their OC and brought in arguably the hottest OC candidate in the NFL this offseason. The've allowed him to clean house and bring in his own staff. They've cleared out the largely failed QB room, sending Wentz packing and acknowledging a major miscalculation, and even letting beloved fan favorite and everyone's mancrush (some more than others!) Taylor Heinickeeeeeeee go. And they've elected to commit to their 5th round rookie Sam Howell. They've made some tough...

The wife is out of town, lots of NFL goings-on, and as always, tons of questions around what NFL Washington is up to this week...

Right now, according to what's 'out there', there are 3 billionaires who have bid or tried to bid for the Commanders and who are 'still in the mix'. Jeff Bezos. Joshua Harris. Tillman Fertitta. I know there's been a lot of 'it doesn't matter who it is as long as it's not Dan Snyder' talk. But isn't that kind of mindset what got us Dan Snyder? Maybe it was impossible to know back then what kind of a man Dan Snyder really was - but it's hard to deny that knowing who he was would've been pretty key to avoiding the mess we've experienced since then. Who are these guys? Why do they want to own the Commanders? What are each of their intentions? I have to believe that the answers to those questions absolutely matter. It's true. Dan Snyder is the devil. And anyone has got to be better than the devil. But 5 years from now, we'll want more than 'not Dan Snyder' out of a new owner. A lot more. Which of these guys is the best choice?

We sit down and react to the hiring of our new OC, and speculate on what may be coming.

Eric Bienemy has been tasked with transforming the Washington offense. Define what a successful unit and season under his watch in 2023 needs to look like.
