Dominant Win

[nightrain]

Better than the offensive performance yesterday at FedEx? Yes. I guarantee that the offense will have a better display than that before the end of the season lol

Hope you're right. Yesterday's 2nd half was unsettling to watch. Thankfully the D was able to snatch the game away.

 

[Hawkeye19]

The team was not good against a mash unit Commander unit missing its 2 best pass rushers among many others. 6 FGs is a joke. Thats our offense not getting it done. We are lucky the Football Team have the worst offense in the NFL b/c we came a dropped ball away from blowing a 24 point lead. Thats not dominance in anyones book.

The D was dominant enough yesterday to overcome a sub par offensive performance. They carried the team for sure.

You are so focused on the ineptitude of the offense, you are missing just how special the D was yesterday. Go back and look at that defensive stat line. What other word would you use to describe it?

Yah the offense has work to do. No doubt. Kellen and Dak and Co need to look in the mirror and get back to work and get better.

Dak has gone through some stretches of poor play in the past— and he has come through and elevated his game. We don’t know all the issues right now— but everyone can tell they are struggling.

The best predictor of future success is past performance. Dak has shown he can play well in this league. I believe he will again

It can't be much worse.

That's like guaranteeing the defense this year will be better than the defense last year.

Your bar is low.

Tongue was firmly in cheek on the guarantee… Lol

In all seriousness— there are deep concerns on offense. This funk is now no longer a trend. It’s a pattern. They have been scuffling for half a season now.

Dak is playing poorly, and Kellen is also struggling to find a playcalling cadence that helps his unit. The OL issues and running game problems have been well documented.

My low bar prediction is the best I can do at the moment. Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst

There's no way we beat 4 playoff teams in a row with the way the offense has been playing.

They need to find out what's wrong and fix it fast, because eventually you're going to run out of games.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst is what we all should be doing.

For real!! Lol

I am excited to watch our D for the first time in forever. Parsons has changed the trajectory of this D! IMO— we have been looking for a truly catalytic player on D— and we have not had one since Charles Haley.

We do now in Parsons. And just like Haley brought about a different culture on D— Parsons is doing it now.

Don’t get me wrong… We have had some great players on D: Woody, Ware, Lee to name a few— but Parsons just has the “it” factor.

He simply makes huge plays right when the team needs him to. Unreal rookie year and I am so excited for his future and what he will be bringing to this team for years to come

Perfect analogy, I was trying to go back and think of the last truly transcendent player we had on defense and I agree that you nailed with with Haley.

I think we have a big enough sample size now that it isn't hyperbole. Man, that kid is truly special. It's going to be a treat to watch him just get better and better.

Lots of hand-wringing after this game lol…. Here is the deal:

We just spanked the “hottest team in the NFL” in their own house— after guaranteeing that we would win.

Our offense was “meh.” And we STILL dominated the WFT. The D started the game dominating— and they ended the game by slamming the door just when the WFT thought a little light was starting to break through the clouds lol…

Was it a “pretty” win? YES!! Our D flat out owned those nameless pukes and destroyed them in their own house! I love it!

For those worried about the offense— they can and will play better. For now— enjoy a dominating performance by our D! That unit is peaking at the PERFECT time for a playoff run!!

100% nice win..don't care about a grade of win., a wins win 9-4, 3 games up with 4 to go is all that matters..

 

[blueblood70]

Probably the most “dominant” one score win I’ve ever seen.

garbage stats don't matter remember??

anything that happened after 24-0 doesn't truly count if you listen to those saying Dak padded stats for years with garbage time..so it wasn't a one score win if you take out trash time scores..game was in hand from the first snap to the last..

right or is this place bigger hypocrites then i even believe they are..???

Facts!!!

This is a GREAT Monday Morning

9-4 Record

Defense catching up to Offense.....

Offense Carried Defense until they got Healthy

 

[blueblood70]

Remember the year we played Donavan McNab and the Eagles end of the yr then they visited what was then the Irving house off 114 for a Cowboy division winner vs Eagles wildcard winner team the very next week . Back to back wins vs the Eagles. Well Philly is 6-7 next three are Wash home and away and the Giants ….final game has Dallas visit.

The Eagles could be 9-7 needing to beat Dallas to get in the playoffs at 10-7. Wouldn’t that be thrilling to put cold water on that fire. Send them packing how to use three number one picks in April .

no it wouldn't
i dont wan to need to play this game i hope rush and Clements are starting and most of our d is pulled. We need that game to rest players..i hope we don't need to play AZ with our full starters maybe they play a half. if we wrap this up by the 2nd wft matchup im resting players..i dont think we can improve on the 4th seed so those last 2 games can be the game we can finally get zeke, TSmith and others some true time off before the playoffs...

Yep. They get 4 weeks to figure out a solution to their offensive struggles. For now— as I live in VA and am surrounded by WFT fans— I am basking in the afterglow of a guaranteed W and wrecking them in their own house

Love it man! Parsons has made it safe to watch our defense again and expect good things to happen lol

Yep, oh my goodness, me too.
And I was absolutely convinced that drafting an offensive tackle(s) high in the draft THIS year would have been the smartest move for the team going forward.

And although Smith's continuing health concerns make this a still credible stance there is just NO denying Parson's generational talent at this point.

He has single handedly changed the entire defensive culture of overpaid underachievers on defense.

Leadership "by example" at its finest.

Baby LT.

And only a rookie...whew wee, lol!

TY for your positivity brother this place had me feeling bad about win 2 weeks in row and its getting old quick..

i guess being 8-8 and 6-10 isnt reminder to appreciate this season. Fans are so fickle and miserable its hard to be a fan around here..


i mean players go through slumps and daks human , it happens. We have seen it with the rams, bucs, bills, Ravens, KC and mahomes offense stunk most of the year, and even rogers with GB all had these little slumps. we are winning and fans are nitpicking the fun out of a win. Its a win..9-4 is real.

I have faith in him, he will rebound and this will come together in time for the playoffs..

this is TEAM game sometimes the defense has to overcome the offense, sometimes the offense over defense and sometimes you need the kicker to win a game..it happens to all teams. These fans want perfect games like oh my we should have won 40-10 the last two games and get all lathered up over a win that had some issues..

none of it concerns me at all..take it one game at a time..


enjoy being up 3 games in the division at 9-4 thats a top 5 record in the league not just the nfc. it will be ok..

And you are missing the fact the Commanders offense is currently the worst the NFL. Our defense should dominate them. The word I would use to describe yesterdays win is fortunate.

Well— the WFT won 4 in a row and were a trendy pick to upset Dallas in the division. Guess now that we smoked them— the narrative HAD to be that they suck

It was in quotes for a reason lol…. Some in the media were driving that narrative
