On D, they pressured Baker a lot, they just never completed the task. Kudos to Baker, he was like Houdini back there and he kept his eyes downfield and got the ball to his playmakers. I thought they did a good job against the run, overall.

On O, I thought they ran the ball effectively and the pass protection was sufficient. I just think JD was not seeing the field well, and he often bailed on the play too quickly. I would have liked to see him have more patience rather than just tuck and run everytime. He was also more inaccurate than expected. A lot of nerves I'm sure. That deep ball to Terry was overthrown by about 2 yards. Complete that - it's a TD, and who knows...

Like it has been said already, we all knew what the potential weaknesses were heading into week 1. It was a tough match up for this new team, week 1. I expect a much better performance in week 2 - all around. Week 1 is almost always a liar.

I didn't see them as competitive at all. Baker toyed with them, they didn't punt the entire day and converted nearly every 3rd down. Washington was never in that game, they were not competitive IMO.

I was surprised. We all heard how Kingsbury gets off to fast starts, I thought it was very possible they had a game like in New Orleans 2012 where they suprised the defense with a new offense. I expected a defense that would fly to the ball, like the Bills last night.

Now I understand this team is not as talented as the Bills, not even close. But this is not last years team, so many new players. Yet they played just like all the other teams we have watched.

With all that said this was Game 1 against a good team that was playing as well as they can play. I realize fans and writers were made to look stupid by drawing conclussons after Game 1. I'm still optimistic about the future. I believe in this group.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I definitely didn't see them as non-competitive.

Three of TBs scoring drives (resulting in 17 points), were extended on 3rd down due to penalties. Clean those up and who knows...

I mean, if JD drops that ball in Terry's hands to start the 3rd quarter, instead of overthrowing him by 2 yards, it's a 14-16 game despite missing a FG in the 1st.

I thought they competed. They just got beat, and beat themselves on occasion.

Hope to see some progression from JD, better communication in the secondary, and the D-line getting home this weekend.

What a bad game next week will be. Two garbage ass teams that are going nowhere. I mean I don't even know about you guys but my patience, my fan hood is just in the toilet. But I still love talking football. Anyone watch the Lions and how they just ran it down the Rams throat in overtime? I may root for those guys this year, I love watching them play, just love everything about that team and organization.

The Lions are worse off than Washington when it comes to organizations. They could possibly be on the "right track" now, but overall they're a more shitty organization than the 'Skins.

How so?

Re-read what I posted. The Lions are a known to be a shitty organization, and one of the worst organizations in pro football. Like I said, they appear to be on the "right track," but for many years they were considered a more crappier organization than the 'Skins.

Debate or argue as you like, but that is well known.

I've bought in to the idea that the new organization in Washington is completely different from that of the disgraceful Daniel Snyder's and that our new leadership will eventually build a winner.

To help myself endure the building process, I have pushed my own emotional reset button. For me, it's as if the Snyder years never happened. All of the accumulated stress of the past is gone so, in my mind, the bad loss to Tampa Bay is not stacked on top of the pile of all that we suffered at the hands of Snyder. That is what I feel I must do because I know that I'll never be able to convince myself to transfer my allegiance to another NFL team.

Luckily I wont be watching due to work. I'll catch the highlights on YT TV. I have zero interest in watching bad football anymore. JD5 will be fun to watch as the yr goes and he gets more comfortable but the overall team? Hard pass

I feel like the C-men should come out on top this week against the Ginas but New York has flat out owned Washington in Landover.

Right. "Ook ook..."

Adults appear to be making the football decisions for the first time in 25 years. Relax!

Let’s be honest, Terry is the best player on the Offense. He would’ve been 3rd best WR on the Rg3 rookie year team behind Garçon and Moss.

If both tackles are getting beat in under 2.5 seconds, the QB doesn’t have much time to come off his first read. With that time limit, JD needs to have WR option that is going to win off the line consistently. Who on the team is that guy? This is a work in progress.

It works both ways, if we can get that type of pressure, it helps out secondary out tremendously. Unfortunately we don’t have a good LT or edge rusher.

Every single part of the offense is a work in progress.
I would rather JD run and control the play versus sit back and get killed in the pocket like he did on the play above.

On a different note, I noticed that Lucas and Coleman split the reps at LT in the game. While I didn't pay full attention to Coleman every time but it seems like he held up pretty well, which is a good sign. If he keeps it up, I expect him to become fulltime LT later in the season.

If Coleman becomes the full-time starter at LT, then I hope Lucas will become the starter at RT. I think that would make our OL stronger.
