JAGS PRE GAME THREAD

Uggh. This is where my heart and my brain go to war.

Heart says we win easily. Say 30-10.

Head says we lose 2-3 players to injury. Commit absolutely terrible penalties and when we do not we get flagged anyway. Our defense has the world saying Trevor Lawrence has arrived. Samuels pulls a hammy running onto the field. Scherff absolutely dominates against our Dline. Carson looks mediocre at best, and we lose 30-10.

LOL. Huge storyline, can Samuel complete 1 full game without hurting himself?

Game 1. Anything can happen. Win or lose, I'm not going to draw too many conclusions. After week 4 we'll have a good idea where this team is heading.

I think they did the right thing during the preseason though, giving the starters some meaningful work. I don't think they showed anything. Was there even one pass attempt over 20 yards by Wentz in the preseason? Look for that to change.

Hot takes:

Everyone gets involved on offense this weekend. Gibson, McLaurin, Dotson, and Samuel will all have over 50 yards receiving. McLaurin leads the pack with 100+. Gibson adds 70 yards rushing and ZERO fumbles.

Defense forces two turnovers.

WAS - 30
JAX - 20

I think the offense will get off to a slow start, the defense will struggle on 3rd down, the kicker will miss one and the Jags steal one.. 20-17

I am excited to see McBadass play with a QB that can actually throw the ball successfully further than 20 yards.

Out with the ducks, in with the bombs.

Those of you who are using the preseason as a gauge to predict the regular season for the Commanders are way off the mark. Most teams, including ours, play their starters sparingly and show very little of their offense and defense in preseason games.

One season when Joe Gibbs was our coach I was upset about the Redskins preseason performance which was putrid. I asked my wife's opinion and she said "Are you kidding me? This team is loaded! We're going to the Super Bowl this season! Purchase our Super Bowl tickets now." Naturally, I didn't buy the SB tickets and we did go to the SB - and we won it.

Agreed. As fans, preseason is for individual players evaluation, nothing more.

I think there are reasons to be optimistic. I'm kinda excited about our O. D feels like a huge question mark, talented roster but hasn't fully gelled together yet.

The Jags are intriguing. I think their roster is better than last year's 3-14. They have their QB, bulked up their Oline and added some weapons (Engram, Kirk)... Not a juggernaut but it'll be a good test for our Defense.

Their D doesn't look that good to me, hopefully it's a good opportunity for our O to show us what they got !

After an offseason where I wined more than any other year, I'm gonna go full Kool Aid and say we win this one 27 - 21 !

I am not a Rivera fan. While in Carolina he had, arguably, the best quarterback in football at the time but he had only 3 winning seasons out of 10 and has had no winning seasons while in Washington. I do give Rivera props for turning this team around from the trash that he inherited. I hope Washington wins this game. They should. The Jaguars are not the best of teams.

We need to do our warmups too guys. Make sure we're ready for gameday.

I'm warming this bad boy up for when we repeat our trend of not scoring any points in the first quarter this Sunday.

I think it's going to be a good game. Jacksonville getting Pederson and their new players along with a healthy Etienne is a dramatic improvement from the 2021 version. So happy preseason is over. Just nothing compares to the regular season. Big opening game.

I hate how we have become such a negative franchises…..

Let’s fucking GOOOOOOO!

We are the better team, 44-30

Skins baby!

I love the fans who still rally for a win
