    The Sky is not Falling Thread

    I am ready to part with Joe Whitt. Kingsbury I am more neutral on. I wouldn't mind him returning but I also don't think of him as any kind of next level innovation or master class. I actually look at the entire current coaching staff as acceptable but not crucial to the future of the...

    The Sky is not Falling Thread

    I am not sure if the Ben Sinnott question mark is purely a fan thing or what because after the Ertz injury, the fact that he hasn't been a lot more integrated into the pass offense, especially with a back up and now 3rd string QB out there, tells me the coaches are ready to turn the page on any...

    The first Jayden Daniels Super Bowl window has shut. Hard.

    Perhaps the most disappointing of this season's stumble from grace is that the NFC really doesn't seem to have any teams running away from the pack of contenders. Pretty much every team that is forecast to make the playoffs currently has a reasonable argument for why they might end up in the...

    Official Game Thread - Week 16 - Eagles @ Commanders

    Eagles with something to play for. It could get ugly, but at this point with how the season is gone, I will welcome the possibility of seeing the team climb up the draft pick chart.

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    All it took was last season's success to almost make me forget how miserable it feels to be watching December football between two terrible teams, especially when the desire to see the team you root for win is pretty low.

    Grading Mariota

    Mariotta is one of the best QB2 options available, but just like any other career QB2, there is good reason for it and if the QB2 is forced to play an extended time, their quality of play will decrease as the sample size increases, especially on a team that isn't stacked with talent around them.

    I don't think Kliff has been very good at using the run, even when it seems to be working. I also think the use of Deebo has been questionable, however I do recognize his role likely changed some due to injuries to other WRs.

    Is it time to sit JD?

    My initial opinion was play him if he is healthy, especially because the season ends with a month worth of division games and you want your QB getting the reps against the opponents they need to get the most familiar with, but if the pass protection against the blitz is going to be this poor for...

    This team just doesn't have the roster to win a lot of games where the QB isn't playing (and succeeding at) hero ball level. I know a lot of us mock Caleb Williams for being a screen pass merchant and attribute that to his improved stats & overall play, but guess what, we try to execute those...

    2025 Washington Commanders- All Things Defense

    This is what makes me wonder about what the coaches were/are seeing during practice that causes them to put players in certain situations during the game when it seems like small tweaks to the schemes or how they use specific players makes a big difference. Now I still look at the defense and...

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    I really hope that if the NFL is planning to keep the AI assistance going, that they allow it to consider the entirety of what is going on during the play. Allowing AI assistance to say Mariotta was touched, but then totally ignore that he was also tripped kind of makes replaying it a waste.

    Official Game Thread - Week 13 - SNF - Broncos @ Commanders

    Normally "moral victories" still feel terrible, but in a season that is already lost, what I am mostly looking for is whether the team is checking out, whether the guys who come back healthy after the playoffs are not a possibility go out and ball or get cute & lazy. 2026 Week 1 can't get here...

    The Sky is not Falling Thread

    To tell the truth, in a season that is lost, tonight's game to me is the kind of game that gives me more optimism about the near future of this team beyond this season. Quinn calling the defense and getting Terry back made THAT BIG of a difference against a 9-2 trying to establish themselves as...

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    Oh yeah, every game Caleb has a few plays where he scrambles out of the pocket and rifles a laser downfield which is reminder of the arm talent he has and a big reason he was the consensus number on pick. The problem is he doesn't handle the normal stuff as well as he should, which ironically is...

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    Honestly it looks like Ben Johnson has figured out a scheme that allows Caleb Williams a lot of gimmes to attempt. Lots of screens and quick passes. The West Coast Offense is known as being QB friendly by design, so when you have a roster that features a good defense and running game, it makes...

    The Sky is not Falling Thread

    Ultimately from a "fan's perspective" I just don't know how to feel about the rest of this season. While they still aren't mathetmatically eliminted from a playoff berth (LOLOL I know...) I feel like even if some kind of miraculous turn around happened, the team is not built to beat the quality...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    WIth Aiyuk it simply comes down to whether the player before the knee surgery is coming back. If so, sure pay him, if not, hard pass on how much he will likely be asking for.

    The Sky Has Really, Really Fallen Thread

    With Jayden being out for a good portion of this season so far, plus the bye week, it has given me some extra time to look around at some of the teams other young QB's are on and it is just uncanny how in a lot of cases those QB's are currently being asked to do a lot less in order for their...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I am interested to see how much smoke there is with the "I want to play with my friend Jayden Daniels" sentiment because that is great and all, but I also have a feeling that if/when Aiyuk hits the market free & clear, AP isn't going to be offering the biggest contract offer out of all the teams...

    How will you 'fan' the rest of the way - pray for wins or hope to lose out?

    As much as I am a believer in Jayden Daniels, he is a second year QB who is still learning. Even if you consider this season lost for the team, there is nothing JD5 is going to grasp during practice next season that is better than actual game reps once he is healthy this season. Of course don't...
