Same. Dudes avy was made outta stone most of that duration for a reason. But I completely agree. Its getting really bad in the league. Unwatchable is growing ever so closer. We keep seeing the wildly shitty shit end of the stick, too. Despicable actions by and yet the same trash lack thereof ... from this garbage soap opera/reality tv drivel.

I thought the team played hard and had a lot to overcome in this game. It was definitely closer than the score indicated. The refs should be all suspended. Indy didn't get their only penalty until about 7 mins left in the game, while we got slapped with 10. Ain't no fucking way that nonsense should be allowed to stand. I tip my hat to the 3rd string QB. Dude did better than I thought minus that one INT.

The Refs are the NFL. They are doing what they are told to do in terms of the flags themselves.

NFL owners and Roger Goodell are all pieces of shits.

Lol. True though. Remember one win against the Giants and its season on.

If Jayden balls out and we somehow win convincingly, the entire fanbase would have optimism. Still a young season. Very interested to see how JD5 plays. Just concerned about oline.

Warren Sapp had a great breakdown of the flags this year. They are up across the league but he suspects this or next week they'll start returning to baseline levels.

He said something about before the season they are instructed to focus on certain things and flags are increased on those things in the beginning of the season but it slowly adjusts.

It is hard to believe that Commanders are right in the middle of the league for flags m(15th most flagged team) but I'd like to see something that shows the number of flags the league got wrong vs right because I feel like we've had plenty of BS calls.

Are you concerned about the o line from pass protection? If so don't be. The run block has been the issue. If they start run blocking better and get the running game better this o will be nasty. The pass protection has been solid despite all the injuries and being on a second string and then eventually third string qb. Currently tied for 2nd fewest sacks, also Commanders QBs have the longest time to throw in the league by a wide margin and the pass block win rate is 58% 3rd best in the league. But run block we are having runners get hit in the backfield on over 50% of run plays. Completely unacceptable.

Love the stats you posted about pass protection. Needs to continue. Yes, run blocking needs to be improved asap. This would be a great game to begin doing so. Incredible and nearly unbelievable there is such a variance between the 2.

Sacks, pass time and pressure frate are a combo or QB and o line we have been fortunate to have JD, MM and AK who both can extend plays and avoid sacks but the pass win rate is exclusively on the o line and is great, especially with the injuries and what IMO has been a front office failure at the center position.

Personally, I hoped Allegretti would come good, but it looks like he's struggled, though the backups have been lousy too. And therein I think lies the heart of the problem. With Tunsil out, and Cosmi last week, the line is weaker centrally (as Tunsil can be left 1:1 and Cosmi can help C). So we can't pound it up the middle. Bill isn't gaining the yards he should be and while some of that is on the OL, he has a part to play. All told, that's a weak run game and it weakens play action, so we can be a bit 2 dimensional. Kind of thing that rears its ugly head on passing downs; QB knows he has to get the ball out quick so it's bombs away or hit the short guy and more often end up punting. It's great having excellent pass pro stats but its less effective if we're not converting those passing downs into 1st downs. But at least you know you're unlikely to get sacked when passing.

All of which is why I was bemused that DQ went for it on 4th in a lousy field position (and when we were not chasing the game) and worse, tried to make the 1st running up the middle (given we got 2 crucial 1st's at the end of the Seahawks game with outside runs). 🤔

I think Allegretti was thought he would be comparable to Biadasz I have heard in interviews with the press squad that the o line room thought so as well. Maybe he would’ve been fine with Tunsil there and Cosmi but it is so hard to get though 17 games without an o line injury.

That 4th down play was a bad call sometimes you have to try to win games 13-12. Definitely an indictment of DQ decision to go for it and Blough play call and personnel for the call

[AnonEmouse]

Yep, if Quinn is fighting for his job by seasons end (I doubt they'll pull the trigger before then and I think AP is safe enough for this year), then it's calls like this that will have likely doomed him.

Yikes man, it's fucking brutal out there for WFT.

Just sucks to wait around all offseason and right off the bat in a new season we're getting killed with injuries yet again. And the D. Brown non TD call against Dallas was really disheartening. Straight up robbery.

That said a win against the Giants and with the state of this division we're right back in it.
