They played well enough to win last week and the offense didn't and they were a huge part of why we won today. But yes complain like most of you do with the situational footba blah blah

On a scale from 1-10 I'd give them a 6&1/2. Not enough playmakers on the line to put constant preasure on opposing QB's. Our offense is going to have to do it for us. Long drives and winning the time of posetion game, if we are going to have any chance.

I'd consider going big along the DL to try to keep teams from running on us. Maybe use Crawford at DE and then Thornton, McClain and Collins rotating at DT on certain first and second downs.

You just tried to compare this team to the Cardinals and Panthers.

LOL.

Only in terms of results this year. Should I just throw results from this year out... Well okay then but they were middle of the pack last year despite having no offense to speak of.

Thank you. I will say what I want. It must really, really suck to be Commanders offense right now. Knowing what everybody knows about the Cowboys defense. LOL!!!

That feels pretty damn good from my point of view.

They were one of the worst teams in the league last year. Hence why we had the 4th pick in the draft. But that's besides the point.

The Cards and Panthers are better and more complete teams than we are.

I'll put it another way. If we had the Cards or Panthers D we'd be legit contenders.

Despite the lack of a passrush, the Dallas 2ndary was not THAT bad today.

Desean Jackson had just 3rec, last one was at 13:31 of 3rd QTR (0yds)
Garcon held to 2rec 25yds; Crowder 6rec 39yds

A couple of blown coverages (Doctson bomb) but otherwise...not too bad.

IF this defense could manage any kind of a consistant passrush, the 2ndary could look even better.

Claiborne still takes a lot of heat from fans but he's playing very well IMO.

They were one of the worst teams in the league last year because they had no offense, not because the defense did bad. Why do you even watch the games if you know that the sky is going to fall in the end? Why come here after a win to remind us all that it doesn't really matter the sky is going to fall and nothing we do can stop it? Do you not get how annoying that is?

You remind me of the annoying fan in Major League 2 who has to remind everyone that the Indians will blow it in the playoffs. So annoying

So we weren't a threat and didn't contend in the NFC 2 years ago. Wow my memory must be hazy, I could have sworn we were a close (possibly bad) call away from beating the Packers and advancing to the NFC championship game against the Seahawks who we had already beaten that year. My bad

That defense was also 2nd in the league in forced turnovers.

We've been able to catch the balls thrown at us this year, but this defense isn't very good and it's going to be a huge problem against good teams/

Oh well we won.

Those wideouts were running free. Cousins missed wide open targets. A decent qb would have shredded them. I hate to be negative after a win, but it's true.

They too Mayowa out and played FOUR DTs in most of 2nd half:

Jack Crawford, Terrence McClain, Cedric Thornton, David Irving with Wilber and Collins as primary rotation.

AND the Skins still ran at will. Gruden just went away from it like he was sharing Garrett's brain or something.

Thank god we are getting reinforcements on the dline. Hopefully tapper and when we get dlaw back we will be much better. I'm hoping Durant is done sleeping made some great plays toward the end of the game

Equally annoying is the homer fan like yourself that can't deal with sports fans leveling legit criticism of their teams.

I guess that means all Browns fans are bad fans because they all know their team has no shot at the SB this year.
