    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I don’t care about this and am unmoved by it. It’s sleight-of-hand. It’s been explained many times that when you decide to actually sign a few larger outside FA’s in addition to filling depth, you’re going to have large individual year cash outlays just to fill the roster when you rely on so...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Yeah, totally not directed towards you, but at the apparent truth of what Keim is saying. I find it so disappointing. Both positions (and the defense) needed fixing, so the idea that actually getting a WR would have damaged the chances at the other moves we made, because of their self-imposed...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Appreciate the discussion you’re trying to have here, but the very idea of the hypothetical I find repellant. Because it basically confirms my fears about our budget, there would be zero reason not to pursue both in that scenario. Chig isn’t even very highly paid in the grand scheme and wasn’t a...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I think that led to a lot of our slow-start-itis and coming into the year so low energy too. In 2024 we got a lot of vets together and successfully cashed in on the “no one believes in us but watch Daniels make magic in Q4 every week” vibes. Then that offseason, we ran it back with all the old...

    I swear I’m not trying to belabor this, but how is it not (with the information we have now) a “bad”? Saying you don’t think the hand-wringing is totally justified, and that the offense can win other ways, okay, I don’t agree but I get it. But straight up saying you don’t think it’s...

    This offense would be lucky to have three 400+ yard WR’s right now

    The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    It’s not usually done with the expectation that the team will turn it around, but usually more about amputating the gangrene limb before the locker room is lost beyond recovery and guys who might be part of your future, no longer want to be. It’s usually done late enough in the season that...

    The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    I mean, unless the offense is a total disaster you basically have to let Blough try his hand at it given his reputation, despite his youth and almost total lack of experience. If you don’t, he’s gone anyways. Not the ideal way to try him out at all, and it’s rare that an Interim HC not only...

    Watching him glorify and fondle the balls of a franchise that has been ass for so long, and markedly less successful than where he just came from, is so odd. Usually a successful coach comes in and sets the expectation that his brand of football has arrived, because what came before wasn’t good...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    It’s clear they’ve decided to go more historical and less modern, which is the right choice. There’s nothing objectionable about leaning into the more ancient warrior theme as they’re doing, given the obvious Greco-Roman influence of the architecture of the stadium to match what we’ve got going...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    You’re heard, many people will just think your idea is terrible anyways. I count myself among them, it’s not personal. But enough with the pathetic military pandering. That’s the sort of lame shit Rivera would have cooked up It’s also just pretty weird to work something so specific into the...

    Yeah, but those are all positions that can have heavy rotations except for (usually) OL. Those guys should be earning snaps and making plays when they get their opportunities, and they’ll have that opportunity, even if they aren’t getting starter’s snaps. Guys earn more by flashing when they get...

    Or, alternatively, easier to judge them because if they get lost in the wash going into year 2/3 when roles are open for the taking, it sort of says it all

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    I don’t think there’s a guarantee the roster would look obviously markedly better, the way AP has drafted. Just being brutally honest, I think he’s improving and can become a really good GM. He’s got the pedigree and makeup for it. But he isn’t yet, and everything this team has accomplished so...

    He had gotten used to running personnel in Denver (mostly poorly, with some big hits on offense and total tragedy on defense), and nobody else in the NFL wanted him doing that. I’m not saying he would’ve gone un-hired, but I bet his market was going to be less hot than we’d think. And he wanted...

    The Jayden Daniels Tracker

    IMO he didn’t play in preseason because most of our other important players were older veterans and also not playing in preseason, so they weren’t going to play the franchise QB with a bunch of young backups on a thin squad. Consequences of an old roster with few younger foundational players at...

    No amount of accepting coaching would have made Griffin a longterm star, I’ve come to accept that. He was immensely physically talented but he didn’t have it going on upstairs. He was never going to learn to really read a defense and throw with anticipation based on coverage without abusing play...

    I didn’t hear the segment but based on that, I’d assume they were speaking about more modern history.

    Lot of rumors at the time that it was a Snyder call, that Mike wanted to game plan, practice, and play with Kirk Edit: in the messy aftermath, I mean. I didn’t hear that before the playoff game, but in the dirty blame-battle afterwards it was a popular rumor
