Official Game Thread - Week 15 - Commanders @ Saints

[36ST21]

No credible NFL defense should get carved up by Rush or Rattler. Even Levis looked serviceable.

 

[burgold]

Tennessee had a better defensive line, and we could block them but not NO. Makes no sense.

Could Biadz make that much of a difference?

 

[TTViper]

That was ugly. Jayden really struggled with the deep ball.

 

[Gooseneck]

Could Biadz make that much of a difference?

How bad did his injury look like? Should we be looking at a seriously decent backup center/guard in FA or as a later round draft pick next year?

 

[burgold]

The crazy thing is he really struggled on the long ball because he was 3 inches off and the refs ignored a really egregious PI.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Could Biadz make that much of a difference?

Yes. He has been playing at an all-pro level. He helps/calls the protections, and is key to the interior run game.

Combination, Deiter isn't good. So, you go from all-pro to meh at best.

I think what you saw is Kliff adjusting with a lot of exterior type runs because he didn't trust the interior to hold up or move people.

I wish it were different, but I call it as I see it. Please give me your positive breakdown on how a playoff game between Washington and Philly, Detroit, KC, or Buffalo would go...

How would it go?
With complete jubilation, the first two would mean we made the playoffs for the first time in 4 years and in our first year of a rebuild.
The second two, do I need to tell you what kind of a milestone that would be?

I don't know. He didn't even start and I didn't know he was hurt. If Biadz does the line calls that could account for some of the leakiness today.

 

[36ST21]

All this talk of penalties and even injuries is moot. If Rattler starts this game, NO wins handily.

I heard he woke up ill. No additional information.

My assumption is he'll be back next week, but we never heard what "ill" meant. Apparently he warmed up and then they sent him home.

But we definitely need more depth on the interior of the DL. I'm somewhat surprised they let Stromboli go. But eh, I trust Peters to know things.

Milestones, yes. Each team in a playoff situation would beat Washington by 14+

I have a feeling that since the first two were slightly over thrown the last one he may have taken a little off to compensate and unfortunately it was too much.

You don't know that. You think you know it - but you don't. The entire defensive gameplan might've been different if Spencer Rattler is named the starter. It might even impact our approach on offense. I make no excuses for this game coming down to the wire today, other than to say, it's the NFL, the other team wants to win too, and sometimes you win ugly, or you don't win at all.

You are just a ray of sunshine and positivity aren't ya

🤣

I had the exact same thought.

 

[RedWolf]

Need some zen?

 

[Boone]

Good lord - beautiful!

 

[RedWolf]

The Dominican - and the ladies are just as gorgeous

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Yeah, I just went back to Standig's tweets before the game.

Biadacz was listed as questionable with illness, then worked out with medical staff, then was declared inactive.

My guess is no energy or strength due to some illness.

 

[Blaze Thunderball]

Just finished watching (always behind on a Sunday but this week was worse than usual). Fuming about this one, but at least it was a win. I'd far rather be angry about a victory than a loss.

I'll leave it there.
