Commanders meltdown

[Hawkeye0202]

I actually thought Rivera may have done enough to save his job but honestly, I'm not sure now. (lol)





He is done.......they are shipping him out of town. This is 100% on Rivera......to think he could get some from Carson that other coaches couldn't.

 

[Flamma]

They should return Rivera to Easter Island after the season.

Meh, not much difference with what I see/read when we lose.

We get the same posts win or lose.
Both good and bad that is.
But it is what we are here for.

I am ready for this weekends games to see how it all unfolds. NFL will announce the game times today.

 

[Carson]

Rivera is lost. He didn’t know about OT ending in a tie and had no clue they could be eliminated today

Putting in Wentz was dumb but it's Heineken is only slightly better. The Commies needed to tank for Bryce or Stroud.

If Quinn leaves, I wouldn't mind us having him as the DC. How funny would that be? Plus, I like what he does with defence.

Ron seems like be very much like Wade Phillips.

Comes in and dominates early and everybody loves him. It runs out after year 2-3

Heineke had a 12/6 TD/Int stat in 9 games compared to Wentz's 11/9 TD/Int stat line in 8 games....Heineke also took 19 sacks to Wentz's 26....and while their Comp %'s were similar Heineke had a 7.2 ypa average compared to Wentz's 6.4....lastly Heineke as a starter this season was 5-3-1 compared to Wentz's 2-6 record.

So while Heineke is not a Top 10 QB, he was the clear QB that should have started and the only reason Rivera might have started Wentz is because he is simply clueless and should be fired immediately.

As for tanking for Bryce or Stroud, Washington currently stands at #14 in the NFL draft and have absolutely ZERO chance of getting anywhere near a Top 5 pick so unless they trade the farm to move up do not expect Washington to get either of those players. The best Washington can possibly do is move up slightly to grab Florida QB Anthony Richardson who at 6' 4" 232 pounds and running possibly a 4.5 40 yard dash could be the boom or bust pick Washington needs.

But, like Wade, he seems to be more suited for DC, and that'd be par for the course for a DC with the 2-3 years. He could use us as a way to regroup like Quinn did. Plus, perhaps he could bring Darron Payne with him.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

This pleases me.

As much as I've always hated Washington, it must really suck for the fans. They were so proud in the 70s, 80s, and 90s and were a classy and high achieving organization.

They've literally done nothing right under Snyder's leadership.

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

Wentz was terrible,why would Rivera put him back in...

 

[lkelly]

Ron would need to win this coming weekend to have his first non-losing season in DC. 7-9, 7-10, and 7-8-1 so far. This isn’t a roller coaster ride, just mediocrity.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

 

[Carson]

Wentz was terrible,why would Rivera put him back in...

Agreed.

But Heinecke isn’t great either. He’s a try hard player who the team had a ton of opportunistic luck bounce their way.

He likely was trying to light a spark for the playoffs.

Living here in the amazing Nation's Capitol, I can't explain how great it is to hear these fans humbled. After they beat the Eagles, the fans and talk radio hosts spoke of them being able to beat any team in the NFC and having a legit shot at going far in the playoffs. That nonsense continued as they barely scored 20pts each week and squeaked out wins with a very limited QB. Heading into the first Giants game, they actually spoke of their path to a Super Bowl here in DC. "We can beat the 9ers and Philly. Dallas is Dallas, they aren't any good." Blah, blah, blah.

Listening to The Team 980 is a joy after a Washington loss. This being "Dallas Week", it will be even better to hear the defeat in their voices. Lol

 

[viman96]

Wentz is fools gold and a coach killer. After Rivera gets fired, that will make 3 HCs he helped lose their jobs.

And while some franchises are melting down, we see elite quarterbacks like Brady and Rodgers lead their teams to the postseason despite having flawed and injured rosters

these elite dudes are like herpes and luggage…..just can’t seem to get rid of them
