-Rivera made three tempo-changing 4th down calls. Should have gone for 4th and short twice early on and been aggressive. He gave us time to get into our rhythm. Then he finally went for it down 13 in the second half when a punt seemed like the better move.

-PFT or whoever and several of you can say what you like, but #97 has stepped up big time this season and is a solid DT. Huge part of this defense at this point.

-Sam Howell reminds me of Ryan Fitzgerald. More elusive than youd think, decent ability…just not a star, or who any team would aspire to have as a starter. I wouldnt bet against him having a similar career as a solid backup.

-It’s probably gonna take a few dollars to retain Armstrong, and we probably can’t afford to do so. I whiffed on that one for sure two years ago.

-Dak made some pretty throws today…and also missed several wide open guys. At this point, it’s a matter of which Dak shows up come playoff time on that day. This team can beat anyone, and also lose to anyone. It’s not 100% on him, but if you miss the throws he did today against a playoff team, it likely doesn’t end well.

-I honestly don’t understand some of you around here. During the ONE Wash TD drive, there’s posts in the game thread like “this defense is total garbage…” etc. It’s not as if y’all used to winning. Maybe try to get a hold of yourselves. What do you seriously expect, a shutout every game?

-I’ve heard no Bell update but let’s hope.
It's called 30 years of watching this team, we expect the worse

Personally, I feel like the team played lazy for a while, and then turned the jets on. I saw it both on offense and defense.
I think they did a bit but I think they are also getting healthy. Steele and pollard were coming off serious injuries but both seem to be getting over both the physical and mental part of recovery. The actual oline has a few games together.

Washington played right into our hands by throwing the ball on 4th and 1 late in the game.

Our D line has a very difficult time stopping the QB sneak, but Washington’s Howell drops back to pass.
Thank you very much!

Washington has no confidence in their QB sneak, a play Philly makes almost 100% of the time?
Its a combination of Kelce and Hurts whereas Howell is going to be be a good QB , but nowhere as strong as Hurts
