WHAT A FUCKIN' GAME!!!

My friend & I met up with Goskins10 to watch...a guy in our team gear showed up & had the table next to us, and he was alone so he was invited over to our table. We had a great time!

~And with the Falcons scoring a big fat nothing, I won't be on quite as many pins & needles this week before the game here.

HAIL, Y'ALL!!!

So i was away this weekend and didn't see any pre game stuff.
How did coleman go from a starter to inactive and in the doghouse in one week?

I don't know about the doghouse but I think he just got banged up and played like crap along with the rest of the line so they decided to mix it up. This game plan was obviously different as well so they probably thought this line would be better running the ball and it seemed to have worked. At least for 1 week.

I hope thats the case.
My first reaction was doghouse because of the coaches decision and not injury designation.
That usually means the coaches are displeased with your performance but i guess it could be a gameplan thing.
Hopefully he clears that up in a press conference.

I think this game inadvertently redirects our season. They’ll run the ball to protect Mariota and the defense in a game where they don’t have their franchise QB available, it’ll work really well and they’ll realize it’s a secret super power this roster has even without Jayden’s legs inflating the numbers, and it’ll rewire their brains a bit to be more balanced and protective when Jayden comes back, imo. And we’ll benefit the rest of the season. We’ll look back and see Jayden’s injury scare as a huge silver lining that saved this offensive staff from themselves.

🤔 tough rushing performance to ignore, I think I nailed it

I do t think Coleman sees the field as a starter again this season. Hopefully Conerly can build week to week.

I hope the OL performance today wasn’t a mirage.

Also, I think this run 1st style of offense is tailor made made for a running QB. We need to lean into the run. It’s striking how much more we run with Jayden out. Speaks to the confidence Kliff has in Jayden’s arm.

Also, we need to be getting Lane gadget touches like we do Deebo. And we still need more speed route running at WR.

We’re also a team with a ton of older vets and a ton of injuries, we need to keep the clock running and shorten games while scoring TD’s. Majoring in running the ball does that while protecting the QB and the defense.

But will Kingsbury stick with running the ball?

I think that he will when it's working play after play like it was today but I have my doubts when they aren't gashing teams.

I hope that he doesn't play but Mariota will definitely look at the Falcons as a revenge game.

Damn does that hurt. The team needed to get healthier after last week. I hope he won't miss a lot of time

If this team was coached by Jay they lose and he bitches about the injuries.

Also, the defense was everywhere except the multiple busted coverages in the secondary.

This game just shows how bad the Raiders are. There were some plays at the end of the second half which clearly showed the Raiders were not ready from prime time. It's good to see the Commanders win a game they should win, but it wasn't impressive because of the quality of the competition.

I’ve never fractured a fibula before, but I’ve broken both arms twice each. all I can say is it takes time for the bone yo heal, but the harder part is getting your strength back because after 3-4 weeks all your muscles atrophy.

I’m hoping they learned (or were reminded of) something today.

This is the cold hard truth.

But sometimes we have to remind ourselves this is September football. It’s all over the place and you simply need to survive it. I won’t even bet on games until October when you start to find out who is for real.

I hear that China, but on the other other hand the Browns just beat the Pack. The Bears beat the Cowboys.

It's important to beat the teams you should beat and it doesn't always happen. Today, we beat the Raiders comfortably.
