Twitter: Commanders to start rookie QB Howell in finale

[Doomsday101]

Actually not a bad game to have to get ready for Tampa. Last meeting Brady did not do much but Leonard Fornette did 127 running the ball. Washington will be run heavy in this game

350 yards
3 TD’s

I am afraid Mack and his very poor OLine is going to do the same to Drake Maye.

The same guy that recruited Mahomes to be a Safety only. Said he couldn’t play QB in college…..

 

[IceStar-D7]

I'll wait and see. I've seen plenty of no name quarterbacks in my time light Dallas up. Let's see if this team is different this time.

BREAKING NEWS: Howell shreds Cowboys defense and Commanders believe they have found their long term starting QB

 

[bigE79]

None of the 4 losses this year was against a backup QB.

Even though we didn't lose,dobbs and minshew sure as hell put us on our heels and damn near beat us,same goes for the Houston qb.. they were backups and I didn't say we lost in my in my original post.

You know Tennessee scored 13 points off of 3 turnovers right? You know Minshew turned the ball over three times against our defense. Let’s not act like those guys played like Lawrence.

Dak has been good for at least one or two INT’s every game whether it’s on him or the receiver. The recipe for losing in the playoffs is turning the ball over. Our defense can’t stop anyone unless they get turnovers. We would’ve lost to Minshew had it not been for the takeaways.

 

[KJJ]

I think Cowboys will be up. Cowboys have had 3 games in 12 days including an emotional game vs Philly. The team will have had 10 days since their last game and more players who are coming off injury list.

A lot of time off never seems to help the Cowboys much. They lost to Green Bay after a bye week.

Eagles fans must be mad.

No, they’ll laugh that we went 13-4 and all we got was a wildcard.

 

[Hardline]

Let's get up on this team quick. Then rest our starters.

That's what you all said about facing Minshew.

Dobbs has been in the league for 6 years. Howell is a rookie. Big difference

This is Dobbs third NFL season. He wasn’t around in 2019 or in 2021. Entering this season he only had 17 career passing attempts for 45 yards. His one and only career start was against the Cowboys, and he had only been with the Titans for 8 days. Brock Purdy is a rookie and was the last player taken in the 2022 draft and has done well. If the Cowboys aren’t ready to play Howell may have some success. Rookie QBs are a lot more prepared to play these days and Howell has had all season to learn.

Minshew is a very good backup QB on a very good team. His career QB Rating is very good.

Dobbs barely completed 50% of his passes, had a terrible QBR and his team only scored 13 points. 6 of those points came after the Cowboys threw an interception and the Titans only had to go a short distance to be in FG range. The Titans really only had one extended drive the whole game, which resulted in their lone TD.

 

[Risen Star]

If that's the way he throws, I like our chances.

 

[Dre11]

If we can’t rush this kid into submission behind that pathetic OL, we are doomed.
Stop the run and then rush hard on every third down.

Without LVE, I’m not sure we have a LB who won’t be riding Robinson’s back for 5 yard carries. He’s a strong kid who’s hard to bring down.

Still have to be disciplined, the kid can run.

 

[Starforever]

Rivera did say if he wins this game it would be tough not to start him in the NFC Championship Game.

I am at work! Outburst are prohibited!

 

[G2]

He's going to get smashed.

 

[Risen Star]

He's going to get smashed.

Cowboys!

Eagles fans must be mad.

They hurt their little feelings, how sad!
LLOOLLLLLLLLLL

Yep. Brady doesn't scare me near as much as Fournette. LF has an extra gear esp. in the playoffs. I'm sure TB is licking their chops to test our run D and if they have any sort of success, TB has the experience and talent to open up a can on our secondary. Just hope Quinn's revenge factor from the FALC-PAT SB is still fresh on his mind.

The Jags went 3 and out in overtime. How did Turpin get any punt returns if the defense can't stop anyone?
