They're not winning the division in game three I can't even let this go I was going to let it go but it's going to be my third post in this here I don't get it I thought regular season wins don't matter and you definitely don't crown a division winner in game 3...
You do realize that Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have owned this division and are like one of the best regular season winning teams in the last decade we're top 6IN regular season wins and make it credit for one single measly decent start three games into the season and you're absolutely thinking they turned it all around I've seen this all over the NFL and it's never LED anywhere the Jacksonville Jaguars had one decent run, seen it with the jets, browns etc etc NONE ended up winning a single thing!
so this is about leading the division? the DC won the division twice in the last 3 years. been to the payoffs 5 of the last 8 years, have no losing seasons with Dak healthy, and one Measley win last night is a turn the corner moment for Washington? This gotta be a joke right did you take the wrong medicine last night?
seriously i thought the regular season didn't matter? lmao
I'm not saying they're the champs of the division, but they are tied for leading the division (with a division game win giving them the lead). That was unusual. And when did I ever say the regular season didn't matter? All facets of a season and offseason matter. The way the FO operates in the offseason impacts the regular season and, if we win enough, the post season. You need to get everyone at least some preseason reps so that the first quarter of the season doesn't turn into basically a glorified preseason game. You have to win enough regular season games to get to the playoffs, at which point, what the FO does is even more important in the offseason. How much depth do we have? Can we stop the run? Can we compete with the elite teams in the league? More importantly, do we have the players to win the Super Bowl? ALL of it matters. The problem is that Jerry has failed this team. Jerry makes it seem like he doesn't care. I know you're going to rip into this take, so let me give you what I wrote this thread to begin with.
Especially with the schedule we have, I was screaming from the roof tops, if you will, about our lack of a running game and run defence. I stated CLEARLY we don't have sufficient run stopping abilities. Jerry didn't fix it. I saw that we are playing the AFC North. We are playing our division rivals. We are playing the NFC South and Houston this year. We have Detroit (who are going to be out for blood against us after what happened last year) and San Francisco this year. We don't have a lot of room for error! All those teams run the ball well (and SFO might have McCaffrey by the time we play them). We don't do that well! Look at last year! What did our blow out losses last year have in common? We couldn't stop the run! The Bills blew us out because Cook torched is for over 350 yards. The 49ers obliterated us, largely because McCaffrey ran all over us. The Packers murdered us because Aaron Jones ran all over us. Oh, and what did I say all last season as well? We couldn't run the ball! Guess what, we didn't run the ball well last year, and we can't run this year. We have no good running backs. That means Dak is one dimensional. That makes beating us in the NFL 10 times easier. Guess what! That's on Jerry! That's why I've been so mad at Jerry. That's why I was posting this thread. He's either oblivious to weaknesses that everyone can see, he doesn't care to notice, or he's sabotaging this team! Either way! We WON'T compete for a Super Bowl this year, and we might not even makes the playoffs because Jerry Jones failed this team. You cannot just build a team by the draft alone and win the Super Bowl. Nobody does that and wins the Super Bowl! Jerry wants to be the smartest in the room? Well, guess what! Look at our schedule! Do you think we even make the playoffs with the way we can't stop the run or run the ball? I don't! I'd love for us to! I would love for us to compete for a SB. I really want to see us win one finally! But Jerry failed this team in the offseason, and I'd argue we might have been doomed from the start with the fact that everyone knows our weaknesses. Thank God Chubb wasn't playing for Cleveland week 1, or that could've gotten ugly too!
So, I was pointing out, out of my anger at Jerry, that the Washington franchise do not have Snyder anymore, and hey, even if they collapse, I think it's obvious that they have a better chance at winning than they did with Snyder. Is that unfair to say? Similarly, do you think, especially with how Jerry's been operating the last 2 offseasons at a minimum, that we have a bright future?
