***OFFICIAL*** Washington Commanders Thread (1 Viewer)

It feels like there's a little bit of magic with this team. My son walked into the room in time to see the hail mary play unfold, I had just told him it wasn't looking good, like the words had barely left my mouth and then suddenly we were screaming and high-fiving while my wife looked on like her boys had gone insane. Pretty much a perfect afternoon.
 
Dang I don’t know if anybody just heard it but Brian Robinson on the junkies just gave a roast of a quote about Stevenson. This is paraphrasing because I was driving but “those four seconds indicate exactly who he was as a player as a person and as a teammate Throughout that entire game.” that’s pretty strong words in a league where people avoid media fallout.
 
Last Sunday's game was a lot closer at the end than it should have been. But the D looked amazing in the first half. Robinson should be back this week.
 
"New Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore didn’t play in his final game with the Saints because of a hamstring injury. As it turns out, it wasn’t a “hamstring” injury.

Lattimore wasn’t being put on ice to ensure he’d be healthy in advance of a trade. He was, and still is, injured. As evidenced by the fact that he didn’t practice on Wednesday, his first official day of work with the Commanders."

At the beginning of the season, any of us would have been happy with 7-4 at this point. I am, but I'm still not too happy with the beatdown the offense took against the Eagles Thursday night. Daniels does NOT look right to me -- his passes don't come out with the same zip as earlier in the season and they're less accurate, often too low. The offensive line was terrible. I mean, they're playing far better than I thought they would this year but they're still a weak o-line and playing a good defense really exposed that.

Ben Standig's got a good writeup in the Athletic.
Here it is cached if you don't have an Athletic subscription: https://archive.ph/halFY

"Dan Quinn did not hesitate. Not on the “bold” decision midway through the fourth quarter to go for it on fourth-and-2 while in field goal range and the scoreboard showing a two-point deficit. It was the same when the Washington Commanders’ head coach opened his postgame presser by explaining where it all went wrong. “We were prepared for the moment,” Quinn said. “I didn’t love the execution.”

The specific play — quarterback Jayden Daniels tackled for no gain on an outside run — involved the rookie not shouting loud enough for the snap as 70,000 opposing fans roared. Offensive linemen weren’t on the same page, and there was general awkwardness from a group that’s been a model of efficiency throughout the season."

New regime be like Draft capital? Wasn't my draft pick.

What happened to him? Personal turmoil? I don't recall anyone thinking it was a reach when they chose him, but my memory ain't what it used to be.

He's a little light in the seat of his pants - 166 at the combine, though he might have put on more since then. He was pretty bad on run D and he missed a lot of tackles Y1, plus he got roasted pretty badly by elite WRs. Seems like the new coaches just never gave him much of a chance (thumb surgery, only 108 snaps after he came back.). Dude can fly (4.35), somebody will pick him and think they can fix him.

IIRC it was debatable if he was Rd 1 guy or a Day 2 corner. He had a bit of a flukey college career (6 pick sixes? sumtin' crazy) but when you broke down the tape he wasn't much of a mirror corner, mostly a off zone corner who was able to time up his breaks to be a good ballhawk at the SEC level.

IDK this is the kind of guy the Ravens (or Lions) would develop for three years. Not a fan of giving up on players quickly but we'll see what he's made of I guess.
 
I'll always remember Forbes to be the player the 'skins selected ahead of Christian Gonzales (OOF!!!)...for whom the Patriots, picking right behind the 'skins, after a moment of stunned, silent disbelief at the good fortune falling into their laps, sent their rep scurrying up to the podium so fast that he almost broke his leg rushing to submit their selection card to the Commish.

I don't clearly remember how I expressed my outrage with the selection, but man, was I pissed off.

That sure worked out well.
 
Sources: Commanders DT Jonathan Allen could return this season

John Keim of ESPN.com reports that surgeons found that Allen only suffered a partial tear of his pec in Week Six. That created hope that Allen could work his way back before the Commanders are done playing and subsequent checks by doctors have not ruled that out. Allen is reportedly trying to get cleared to return before the end of the year, but a playoff berth would extend the window for him to make it back on the field.

He doesn't want to miss a possible playoff game.
Imagine that, Washington players trying to get back from injury to play in the playoffs. Been awhile since we've had that happen.

I don't follow Washington that closely, but Allen has always seemed like a great guy to me. I hope he's able to make it back if the team makes the playoffs after all of the crap he's had to endure from the prior regime.

This is a huge game for the Commanders. They need to bank a win here and one more. I think 10 will get them in.

Think WAS could get to 11 wins. 10 wins could come down to tiebreakers with a team from the NFC West.
 
I'm wrestling with Commanders or Cardinals defense. Leaning Commanders due to the depleted Saints matchup plus Cards played terribly last week vs Seahawks.
