Official Game Thread - Week 4 - Commanders @ Falcons

[RexTomb]

Yep if your coach goes into a shell and wont coach like you thought he was you give up

It struck me in the NFCCG... we were inside the 10 yard line and chose to kick the field goal in a 4th and 2 situation. The rest of the game, everyone played uninspired.

My buddy, a Saints fan, said to me after the Marshawn trade that he hopes I like my corners injured and penalized. I thought he was just being a dick, but damn.

I didn't realize that the "Greatest Show on Turf" all came out of retirement to play for ATL today. Looks like I picked a good day to unplug from the league and spend the morning on other things.

 

[Faithful Fan]

Atlanta is a team that was averaging 14 points a game this year. Today they finally get right. I know this tune all too well. Time to face the possibility we are a bad team.

Matt Gay was the one big positive from this game. I like our WR depth. Mariota is a capable backup, we already knew that.

Negatives - defense. There isn't one playmaker on that side.

Negative - Head coach who cannot adjust and plays scared.

Who is the announcer calling the Giants game who thinks he’s at a baseball game. So annoying on top of the Giants winning

And....the Giants... win.

It was a 3-5 second cut to Quinn on camera where he cheered and pointed at his guys on the field who scored. It happens all the time, imo you’re giving it undue attention because you rightly want Quinn to be pissed and embarrassed over the loser defense we’re fielding and the penalties and sloppy play. Or at least that’s how I’m feeling, so I get it. But it’s really not that exceptional an occurrence. There was plenty of time left and it became a 1 score game, and their 2-pt gamble paid off. I don’t expect my HC to be acting like the D is doomed to lose us the game at that point, even though it felt inevitable.

It hit me unusual. If you are cool with it fine.

I like Quinn. But i didnt care for that.

I may have misheard but it sounded like Watt said that DQ told him that the doctors cleared Jayden but the staff decided to let him have one more week off to get all the way back right.

All being said playing with backup QB , missing top 2 WR and important TE they still put up 27. This loss is on the defense...full stop.

 

[Burgundy Sweatshirt]

Meh, they’ll cash their checks. I’m more disappointed in the coaching of this team. Every team has injuries. You prepare for them and adjust. However, the D players should donate their checks.

Don't like the dude either,, that's Kenny Albert I believe, brother of NBA announcer Marv Albert

We are always just excuses, for decades.

He was more annoying than the Giants winning. My god. Who can listen to that crap. He’s been around, but I never noticed that annoying cadence until today.

Thanks, I missed that.

I truly believe we have turned the corner on this kind of thing.

Not sure if your taking my post wrong but not laying blame on the Os injuries. Conversely I am blaming the defense for being absolutely abysmal.

 

[JD5ishim]

Commanders offense is good enough to be competitive even in losses. The defense is slow and reactive. No playmakers to wreck the other team's offense. I think we need to rebuilt the d through the draft. Over the hill players like Von Miller are just taking roster space. I hope I'm totally wrong, but it will take another two drafts to build a true contender.

 

[Conn]

Couple hours old at this point but Bullock clearly attributing the failures to player execution rather than coaching. Hopefully the staff doesn’t feel the same way or we’re doomed, Lattimore getting spanked in man against bigger and faster WR’s is one thing but the guys running open against zone…if you don’t think you can coach that out of your players then there’s a much larger problem and you aren’t earning your check. Impossible for it NOT to be partially a coaching problem when it’s the entire secondary all the time.

Don’t even get me started on the schematic decision to have Old Man Wagner cover athletic TE’s down the field or across the formation. Idiocy. Why exactly did you draft the young athletic coverage LB’s? Get them snaps in obvious passing situations, it can’t be worse and at least they aren’t athletically outmatched the moment the ball is snapped.

 

[Gooseneck]

Offense did fine; we could cut Lattimore and sign Deebo and Tunsel for 3 years apiece and still have 45,000,000 of cap to spend.. My worry, we had poor defense last year so even if we ploug in a good player at cb, if our coordinator is mediocre it will not make a difference.

 

[The Chump Bailey]

It was the height of arrogance and incompetence to ignore the lack of a pass rush heading into the season. It was a glaring weakness everyone knew about it and was not addressed sufficiently. We needed a draft pick and some youth injected at the position.
