    Fourth Quarter Blues

    Maybe it’s Kliff hitting a slump… Or maybe as a result of a QB who is obviously hurt more than I think he’s letting on, and an ailing O line, and missing our primary RB for a couple of weeks… Maybe he’s now having to work from a limited playbook to mitigate some of these issues. It was clear...

    Fourth Quarter Blues

    As mentioned in another thread, I think this is mostly fatigue and injuries. It feeds into what Boone is saying about complementary football. Early in the season, our offense was on fire, covering for a défense that took time to get up to speed. The JDs ribs got hurt. He’s not been the same...

    Yeah, this is pretty much how I saw it. I’d been reading an article last week saying how our o-line was one of the highest ranked in the league, and I think we’d all been pleasantly surprised by how they had done so far this year. But the injury report was super concerning the last week or...

    As an addendum to the above: Baltimore and Pittsburgh were also coming off their Bye weeks. I know you play who you play etc, but these things matter in a sport this demanding. We just need to get healthy. Who knows, a late bye could help us on the playoff push. Maybe those teams with early...

    So, having slept on it (barely! Game finished at 4:30 U.K. time and it’s now 7:30! 😂) here’s my thoughts. Game kinda went as expected, though a little lopsided at the end. I think it all starts at the o line. It’s been pretty highly ranked this season so far, but it’s beaten up at the moment...

    BGO Blind Pig: Washington Commanders at Eagles Deathmatch!

    Well todays injury report does not look good for our tackles… 😢

    Totally agree with you, Burgold. Getting BRob and Lucas back (along with Wylie) will elevate us to a more even chance. When I referee to the ‘Punchers Chance’ I was thinking about the injuries. It’s looking like we might get BRob back this game, but not Lucas. Wylie, I’m hoping, should be good...

    As an eternal optimist, I want to say we win this! But… Hate to say it, but this feels like a hard fought loss to me. We’ll be fired up by the loss to the steelers, but I worry we’re too tired and beaten up on a short week. But, looking at the rest of the schedule, I think we have the easier...

    Official Game Thread - Week 10 - Steelers @ Commanders

    The more I look back and think about this game, the more convinced I am that it was a miracle we only lost by 1 point. Steelers coming off a bye. Rested. On a hot streak. One of the best defences in the league. Well coached. Quality QB on a hot streak. Versus Washington on their 10th...

    Cheers, Boone. Could have sworn I looked on that page and missed it entirely! LOL

    Changing location?

    Question: How can I change my location on my profile? I took a look but couldn't see anything obvious to change it. It's only a minor thing, but I moved from Birmingham, UK to Worcestershire, UK a while back and never thought to change it. I'm probably missing something obvious.

    Haha! I almost made a faux pas myself when Sky Sports were showing the half time scores from other games, and at a glance I thought the 49ers were whipping the Buccs! And then I read it properly! I almost shouted out about in chat! 😂 I should update my bio, we moved from Birmingham to...

    I think that comes with experience. I think the Lions learned a lot last year and you’re seeing that this season. The Chiefs have a lot of experience in winning. Washington are on that trajectory. Lots of young/rookie players (Newton isn’t gonna make that mistake again!) who are learning and...

    Official Game Thread - Week 10 - Steelers @ Commanders

    My thoughts on the game, having slept on it. Daniels played about as well as I think you can expect. I think those ribs hold him back a bit, the Oline was banged up missing key components (Wylie and Lucas), and our running game didn’t help him much (more on that in a sec). But he kept us in it...

    Official Game Thread - Week 10 - Steelers @ Commanders

    I’m not saying that the team doesn’t want to beat Pittsburgh, I think our guys are deadly serious about protecting home field this season, but I also think our coaches are more concerned about the Philly game. I think they know that’s the one with real consequences for us. Hence the over...

    These are my feelings too. There’s likely (in a broad sense) three types of fans by now. The Veterans who hate the rebrand and won’t buy the new Commanders stuff regardless. The newer/casual fans who are okay buying Commanders gear. The Daniels fans, who are really buying commanders gear...

    You’re not wrong! It is a low bar. It always felt like Snyder wanted a cash grab on his way out the door. Change the name, rebrand, try and get everyone to buy the new shirts, because otherwise we’d all just stick with the old style ones. But now… I figure the young fans aren’t buying the...

    Just the colours and style, Boone. Like we had in the WFT year. I know the logo and name aren’t coming back, but it kinda worked for me that year. Even the helmet numbers were kinda cool. As explained above, these uniforms and colours just don’t seem us, except perhaps the burgundy. But even...
