    Random Commanders Thoughts

    Last season was a mirage, a fun ride for sure, but a mirage. Almost everything seemed to fall our way. Like you guys have said, we were not as good as we collectively seemed last year. The defense still stunk. Of course last year's march to the NFCC affected a lot of things. Fortunately, it did...

    Is it time to sit JD?

    The Meadowlands had no bearing on the decision to sit JD5. Go back to the Vikes game. They never called a designed run for him in that absurd series where 3 consecutive passes were called. Last season.......? Something is off/wrong. If you cannot call the plays you'd normally call, then clearly...

    Grading Mariota

    He's a backup, will never be good enough to be an NFL-caliber starting QB. The alphabet networks and their resident sages were so adamant about this guy when he came out. Backup only, and only in spot duty. If you think your starting QB might have durability issues, you need a more reliable...

    The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    DQ remains HC for as long as he can explain (and outline actionable remedies) for these gross underperformances and the lack of player development. Clichés and quotable quotes won't cut it. Neither Harris nor AP will stand for it.

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    "Get playmakers and let them make plays". The Gospel according to Saint Keim. We don't do that, which is sooooo mind boggling. We get 'em and then ask them to do things other than what makes them special, or we sit 'em without pro development because there's no coach on staff qualified to...

    Is it time to sit JD?

    Amen to that! He could've gone back in, but then he's out the next week. Absolute nonsense from these guys. If the kid had suffered a significant injury, I can hear Coach Jack Handey now: "He broke his _________, but he's not broken." Keim is the best dude to listen to on this team. He always...

    The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    Agreed. He came back from soul-searching in Thailand and impressed last season. But DCs have figured that shit out, largely because he has reverted to what he always does. Maybe he can ask Benedict Cumberbatch for directions to Kamar-Taj.

    Official Game Thread - Week 14 - Commanders @ Vikings

    I'd disagree, but I'll leave your impressions to you. No sweat. Just a fan site. I'm not here to argue, and won't. On that other site where I once lived, many of you guys remember that ours is a family long-involved in pro sports. I'm not, that's not my background, but immediate family members...

    " "Watch Zach" isn't coaching or developing. I'm being facetious there, of course, but when you intend to draft and develop a TE (or any position, really), there had better be competent coaching at that position to bring the kid along. Raih has never coached TEs in his life. If he remains on...

    H He'll hopefully wind up on a team with an actual TE coach, not just a friend of the OC, brought from a previous gig, with zero experience coaching or developing TEs. Sinnott was ready to take the next steps. It was coaching malpractice to turn over his development to someone who had never...

    The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    On his latest podcast from last night, Keim said there will be change. He obviously doesn't expect DQ to be fired, but he said it's a very, very bad look to play that poorly and uncompetitively SO MANY TIMES. He also said that Harris will expect a plan for improvement, and it had better be...

    Official Game Thread - Week 14 - Commanders @ Vikings

    If you're gonna draft a TE high and expect to develop him, you need to have someone on staff who's actually been a TE coach before and developed players at that position. With Ertz, we got away with it because he didn't need what little Raih could actually contribute. With younger players...

    The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    Kliff was 1st on his list of OCs. You have to outline who your preferred coordinators are gonna be in those interviews. Lynn was on that list too, along with Dirk Koetter, who was a non-starter for a lot of GMs for what he did to Lovie in Tampa. He'll never coach in the NFL again. Interesting...

    The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    It was oretty It was pretty simple. Antonio Pierce didn't want to give Kliff any more than a 2-year deal to see if the fizzle was real. That was the substance of the general "contract issue" that was reported at the time. GMs generally don't trust his approach as being a sustainable one. We...

    The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    One of the ways to kinda protect the O from the inevitable Kliffizzle was getting Lynn and Johnson. The former to help keep the O NFL-consistent with running the damn ball. It hasn't mattered. Cliff won't get any HC interest or offers, a GM or AD would have to be stupid or Mark Davis.

    But this is the bag on Kliff. Everything fizzles out., he too easily becomes one-dimensional. From what I gather, it's one of the reasons GMs passed on DQ. They wanted no parts of KK leading the team's O, and didn't believe Whitt was ready to coordinate a D. Keim is extraordinarily connected...

    The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    Posted this in another thread, and will add it here, since it's relevant to the topic. No, I wouldn't fire DQ after this season, but there are reasons for concern. Jerry loves to keep things in-house and hire from within, but didn't put up any resistance to DQ leaving. None. And there was zero...

    Keim on his latest podcast from Minneapolis: On the DQ quote about we lost, but we're not lost: "Well, today they're out in the wilderness again" On 1st and goal from the 4 and Kliff inexplicably calling 3 straight passes: "Chris Rodriguez was running the ball well. Would've liked to see...

    NCAA Basketball

    Bert Smith is assigned to an inordinately high percentage of Duke games, and especially high profile ones. When I saw him at the tipoff against Michigan State, I didn't bother watching the game because I knew how things were gonna sway. He's the new Tony Greene for Duke basketball, and I'm...

    Official Game Thread - Week 14 - Commanders @ Vikings

    Zero excuses for such a poor performance across the board. The injuries excuse expired several weeks ago. Teams with good coaching can overcome that; might not be world beaters, but they show up and are competitive. This was a terrible showing. Out-coached and poorly prepared. Again.
