Well folks this season is all but over. What a drop for this franchise after last years run. I only caught the 2nd half but it was rough.. Just feels like this team can never have any consistent success

1. Injury to JD5….always running the ball

2. Much tougher schedule

3. Swings and misses from the front office Lattimore…

4. Defense just not working

Some teams get to be good every year. Then there is us. We get a 1 year tease then go right back to being absolute dogshit. We fucking suck. Fire both coordinators, get healthy, trade back in the 1st round to get more picks, and replace half the roster for next season.

Sadly thats how i feel today too.. Last yr may have been a fluke tbh.. Greatest rookie year ever and the next season we suck again.. Washington fans can never have it good

It’s a rough season no doubt but I don’t think it is a “we suck again” thing. Vegas saw this coming in offseason when they set the wins. It is classic regression to the mean. Last year we were unbelievably successful at come from behind wins, 4th down success, injuries, Wagner and Ertz over performing. Things were going to level out. 2-3 years ago we would’ve been giddy with a 3-5 record and being “close to .500”

Agree. And I saw this post on Reddit that pointed something out. In every game we've lost we've been in the game within one score, even late, but then the wheels come off. The offense fails to score again or the D shits the bed. There has to be something to that. 🤔

That would fit with regression. Last year the bounces went our way this year not so much.

This is definitely a glass half-full kind of view.

Reality is we've played like a below average team.
Even our wins came against teams on a losing streak...
Giants started 1-4
Raiders were 1-5 weeks 2-7
Chargers only win in weeks 4-7 was against the hapless Dolphins

But a good GM would have been able to see or predict regression, especially w/ Wagner. All AP had to do was look at the last two games of the year to realize that resigning Wagner was not a good idea. Detroit and the Eagles totally abused him.

As far as Ertz goes, they have to get Sinnott on the field more. He's a high draft pick and unless he is totally incompetent, which I don't see, get him out there. I don't get why he's not playing more.

Without knowing what AP was thinking I agree. Perhaps he had his budget priorities elsewhere? i.e. Terry resigning etc. But there are definitely holes that weren't filled or needs that were not addressed.

With AP he will get a leash especially as they try to build around JD but one of the things he has done that I don't like is trading away draft picks which is a very Vinny/Bruce thing to do. I'd prefer a Bill Belichick accrue draft picks mentality

I liked the effort on Mon night, plenty of guys were flying around and really hitting and competing. They’re just too battered with injuries right now with the main one being Jayden of course. A healthy JD masks a lot of issues. He’s our only hope to salvage the season.

No doubt the effort was there, however the talent is not.

Because we thought we were going to the Super Bowl this year; they made moves thinking that. Jayden’s rookie year masked a lot and this team didn’t address all the weaknesses and also assumed our aging players still had something in the tank. Then add Terry’s holdout. Very doubtful does much the second half and probably misses more games. The injury bug really has crippled us this year. I don’t think Jayden will be 100% rest the way .


After we fall to 4-7; just play the young players. They need the reps and we need to know who we can build with. AP also might have missed on some of his picks.

Only idiots thought that. I mean seriously. All you had to do is look at the insane luck we had last year, and even then our defense was shitty. I knew that shit wasn't going to be a repeat. They just struck lightning in a bottle.
