Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

Must win

And now a twist, instead of Colt McCoy returning, he’s just been cut. Dobbs will be the starter at QB who they just traded for.

We cannot lose this game

Is Dobbs starting? or are they going with their 5th round rookie clayton tune?

Dobbs will start, after the D fucks him, name that tune will be introduced to NFL pain.

Cardinals completely trying to tank

I'd be shocked if AZ scores 10 points

with the way the Commanders have started seasons, I wouldn't be shocked if we lose to AZ . . . we shouldn't, but we usually start the season pathetically. Hope it changes this year. It certainly feels different.

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

Lets face it, the first game is likely to be by far the easiest, if they lose it or make too much hard work winning it then Ron is straight onto the hotseat with the fanbase, and the owner notices stuff like that.

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

From what we’ve seen from camp, they’ll be fine

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

I was pretty surprised that Colt got cut. But they were going to be bad w/ him, plus he can't stay healthy anyway. What a mess the Cards are. Probably want to draft Williams or the kid on NC.

Defense always struggles w/ running QB's but they gotta dominate these guys. If they lose this game, Ron's officially on the hot seat.

It's a trap!

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

Yes we should we win this one. Yes they shouldn't be able to score a lot on us.
I wouldn't sleep on their defense though. They are fast, bring pressure, and tackle well.
In pre-season it took 3 drives for Mahomes and KC's 1st to be able to move the ball on them.

Good test for our offense !

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

I really hope nobody is taking the Cards for granted - yes from the outside looking in it looks like they're tanking but we should already know nothing comes easy for this team. I expect a dogfight.

Also r.e. Ron's comments about not knowing what a good player Howell was last year, and Pat McAfee saying Ron has basically lost his fastball - I'm getting real 2007 Joe Gibbs vibes here. Ron has been through a lot the last few years and he did get this organization back to a respectable standpoint. I wouldn't be surprised if we have another 7-10 win year and a quick playoff exit (if we even make it there) and he retires after this year.

Honestly looking at our division and schedule, even an improved team could go 7-9 wins and there would be nothing to be ashamed of. Agreed though, unless we make it deep into the playoffs with a team performing well on both side of the ball, Ron is probably retiring as a HC at the end of this season.

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

Arizona's defense wasn't good last year. I'm not sure they'll be much better this year. That said, our offense hasn't proven anything yet either. I think I'm expecting a fairly even matchup.

Maybe we have (should have) the edge with our D against their O. On paper the D looks pretty good, but they got gashed a lot in the preseason, and then stepped up when it counted numerous times too.

The offense looked pretty good for the most part with Sam at the helm, but how much of that was vanilla Ds and going against 2s and 3s?

We'll see. Probably should win by 7-10 points, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer or we lose. I'm just not exactly sure what to expect yet.
