Commanders experiencing what we did last week

[vaturkey]

Fan base is going nuts. Their version of JFE (Sally Jenkins at the Washington Post) posted the following which is completely true IMO.

sounds like what's going on with our OL...

Oh goodness...that silly JFE that they allow on 1st and 10 to talk about football is so stupid. Why do they allow people to talk about football who CLEARLY don't know a thing about the game?

That woman has to be the most ignorant woman when it comes to football it's not even funny.

They are not remotely the same.

Ours is not nearly as bad as the alarmist were making it out to be. Ours isn't playing bad at all.

Their team is void of talent, especially at the skill positions. Ours is not. Ours can be fixed, if it really needs to be, in one draft.

It will be interesting to see what happens with McNabb. It doesn't seem like a good fit for either side. Makes you wonder why Washington even made that move given the state of the roster. He'll probably bolt for Minnesota.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Hey at least Sally Jenkins is right......the Skins do suck.

Ok I had to get that off my chest.

I see similarities in that our OL is older, barely serviceable in the interior, and their backups are late-rounders or undrafted FAs. The OL has been given no priority over the past several off-seasons and it this will become readily apparent with an injury or two. We can hope that the late-rounders or undrafted FAs pan out, but is that really how you should build a strong OL? I don't think so,,,

I will agree that a single draft can fix these deficiencies IF they manage to hit on each lineman(and a good center is hard to find)... but in the meantime they are incredibly thin and vulnerable, waiting for the next matchup against a strong DL to expose them...

A better question might be, Why do people actually read their tabloid trash?

 

[Kilyin]

The defensive line is equally grizzled. Nose tackle Maake Kemoeatu is 31. Haynesworth is 29 but plays like he's 50. Phillip Daniels is a consummate pro but he's 37. Vonnie Holliday is 34. Kedric Golston at 27, Adam Carriker at 26, and Jeremy Jarmon at 22 are the youths in the unit.

:laugh2:

We're not as bad as them. I saw at least 3 people swear off the Commanders in the game thread yesterday, and I only perused 3 pages out of 250+.

Extremeskins and ExtremeCowboys.com aka cowboyszone.com are very similar

Are we both extreme? Yes, sometimes. But not as extreme as those guys.

It's a trendy league...

Mcnabb throws for 400+ yards against the Texans (a team that was supposed to blow them out) in a game the Skins should have won, they lose, and now he's not a good fit for their offense...

Skins lose to the Rams (baffled by that one myself - seemed like a close game, then out of nowhere it got out of hand) ...and now the mediots are jumping off the bandwagon and the Skins are now considered one of the worst teams in the league.

It's still early, and teams are going to lose to teams they should beat (ala Cowboys vs Commanders).

So, what comes next? Well, obviously I think most people think the Eagles are going to route the skins'.

I guess we'll just have to see if that happens... but I think it's a trap.

Right now the Skins are what their record is 1-2, but it's too early to jump off a cliff. A win against the Eagles, and these mediots will be right back on the Commanders bandwagon.

It’s definitely a trap, but for whom?

The team being led by this guy:

 

[burmafrd]

Our interior O line is better than average. The skins whole O line is a mess.
