    Kliff other jobs?

    I suspect that Kliff, as and when he decides to leave for a HC job, will be quite picky. He's been a HC before, like DQ, and it wouldn't surprise me if he's had conversations with DQ about it. I think DQ was smart enough to a) self scout (this has been documented in a number of articles), and...

    Super Bowl or Branding/Name Change?

    What would be really interesting, would be to see how those Sales figures break down across the season. Stroud going number one surprises me a bit. I can see how the Houston faithful would buy the shirt, but I didn't think he had appeal outside of Houston. I don't have much of a feel for him at...

    Official Game Thread - Playoffs Week 2 - Commanders @ Lions

    I was very much thinking along these lines. Detroit expects! They’re SB favourites, but have a spectacularly unsuccessful history and a choke in the playoffs last year. They know they should go one better this year. Pressure is on. Interesting to see if they handle it. As for Washington...

    Super Bowl or Branding/Name Change?

    To whit, some interesting analyses of the branding.. Alot of them echo my sentiments on it. Interesting reading if you want to pass a few minutes of time. I literally just googled it and picked the first bunch. Case Study 1 This one is interesting: Case Study 2 Can't get the images to load...

    Super Bowl or Branding/Name Change?

    While they could do more with the brand, the fact is that the name is a terrible starting point. When I was a kid, my family were all football fans for different teams. My brother was a Buccs fan (still is), Mum was a Dolphins fan and Dad a Bengals fan. I had a ton of Redskins stuff when I was...

    Super Bowl or Branding/Name Change?

    At this point I want the Ring. I'm invested now. I still call then the Redskins (which my wife annoyingly corrects me on constantly) and I always will. But this year has proved to me that winning is more important. This team is called the Commanders, but I'm having a blast supporting them this...

    The Greatness of Bobby Wagner

    The Bobby Wagner signing is one of the moves this year that shows that Peters is playing chess, while the Front Offices we've had before were struggling with checkers. While Rivera talked a lot about the changing/setting of a culture, it does seem in hindsight like he expected to set the tone...

    Tell the Truth Monday- Wildcard Round Edition

    I think they’re beaten up with little depth. I think they said yesterday that Coleman was playing with a knee brace on. That plus BRob isn’t right. And we’re now playing teams which have both a wealth of scouting tape on us AND are playoff calibre defenses. I think playing as a cohesive team...

    Tell the Truth Monday- Wildcard Round Edition

    LOL I think it's a Pavlovian response born from years of repeated futility. Oddly, I was kind of opposite at the end. I think I said it in the chat, but I never doubted for a moment that JD would take us downfield to score. And when we got there and we were lining up the FG, in my head I was...

    Tell the Truth Monday- Wildcard Round Edition

    I think this is absolutely true. And I think, personally, it's a really good thing. If I consider the teams of the past 20 years, we have lacked identity for a long time. We weren't a running team. We weren't a passing team. We weren't a tough team. We weren't much of anything. The only...

    Team name...Post it all here

    In truth, I don't mind any of the uniforms... They're just not Washington uniforms. I miss the gold on the White uniforms. As has been mentioned, it makes us look like the Falcons. I miss the white on the Burgundy uniforms, but at least they look relatively close to our old burgundy shirts. I...

    I wanted the 6th seed

    My Wife is a devoted Packers fan, so you can imagine the tension in the house toward the end of both games on Sunday! LOL Green Bay have been super competitive all year, it's just bad luck that the injury bug has struck right at the end of the season. While Washington has been an exciting...

    BGO Blind Pig: Commanders subs prevail in Dallas, on to Tampa Bay!

    Great show again, as usual, guys! Here's the way I see this game... This season we've been pretty topsy-turvy, especially lately. Everytime we think we should kill a team, it's close. Everytime we think we'll likely lose, we'll win. Who really thought we'd beat the Eagles. I thought we'd...

    Next Day Thread: 12-5.

    It feels to me like it's the O-Line that's the root of a lot of the issues we're talking about. When we have our starters healthy, it's not a bad line. We saw that at the start of the year when JD was flourishing and our run game was pounding other teams. Issue is we have next to no depth...

    Commanders News (Social Media)

    the best bit is the last minute or so, just before they ice the game. It’s clear how his team mates love him.

    The Car Obsession Thread

    Oh, mine was trouble from the start. 2 days after delivery, I found nuts in the passenger footwell. A day later the underside of the dashboard fell off. Took it in to be repaired and the service people cracked the dashboard screwing it back on. So they ordered a replacement, but when it arrived...

    The Car Obsession Thread

    I was a previous member of the Alfa Romeo club! I had a 147 for a while. Hot hatch. Nippy as heck, LOVED it! Would I recommend one? Nope! 😝 The reliability was awful and the build quality terrible. But it was an Alfa and did feel special to drive!

    Who are Washington's Blue Chip Players?

    This wouldn’t surprise me at all.

    Who are Washington's Blue Chip Players?

    I wonder how healthy Terry was on Sunday. He’d been nursing an ankle injury all week so likely wasn’t at top speed. I’m feeling, post game, like they actually used him more as a distraction to take the Falcons top CB out of the game and free up space for our other receivers. Wouldn’t surprise me...

    Team name...Post it all here

    I feel like there’s two options here. With the infield success probably driving in a wave of new fans (probably of JD5 as much as the team itself!) you have to feel like either: A) people are starting to accept the new identity. The Commanders name is here to stay. Best we can hope for is some...
