We were totally undisciplined but I hated our playcall down near the redzone, and like Chico said our third down conversion rate should have been better against the Giants.

Taylor needs to use his speed and run sometimes instead of chucking it. He can slide but get those 7 yards when you have open field. Dont be like RG-3. Just get what you can get and slide. He sailed a few balls and missed a few balls again. Idk I think criticism of those two is pretty fair. Anyway we got two weeks to gameplan for this same team and get healthy before we get them at home with a lot on the line. Fly Eagles Fly. yuck hurts to say that.

Larsen crumbled to the ground while pass-blocking. He got carted off the field after being attended to by trainers.*

After the Commanders’ 20-20 tie with the Giants, Larsen was seen on crutches while wearing a brace over his leg, according to ESPN’s John Keim.

Later that evening, Larsen shared a tweet that appeared to sum up his thoughts about his injury.

Players around the NFL have recently shared their concerns about the FieldTurf used in multiple stadiums around the league.

MetLife Stadium, the home of the Giants, has been considered one of the more dangerous fields, especially after ACL injuries to Giants wide receivers Wan’dale Robinson and Sterling Shepard this season.

Looking for a Larsen update ... if hes out for season, hopefully Cosmi can come back and play RG, Schweitzer at C

Commanders LB Cole Holcomb underwent season-ending foot surgery and is out for the season. Holcomb's agent, @AgentChristinaP, confirmed @TomPelissero's report.

The defensive mainstay -- and a 2023 free agent -- last played on 10/23. Interesting offseason ahead.

If this was JJ , Lamb , ETC that's a PI all day. Terry gets no love

If the officials didn't initially throw the flag, although it would've been a crappy missed call, I'd slightly understand. The fact they did indeed throw a flag, but decided to pick it up was egregiously bad and wrong.

A high probability we get points there, and the difference between a tie and a win.

Seahawks get the Panthers at home this week, which is likely a W. But their next 3 are the 9ers, Chiefs, Jets. Hopefully they lose 2 out of 3 of those.

I sense the Panthers will put up a fight, and I could potentially see that game going down to the wire for Seattle.

I've been saying the same thing for a few years re: Defensive PI calls in the NFL.

I would be surprised if we don't resign him.

Well, well, well -- our rematch with the Giants just got flexed to Sunday night. I don't remember the last time that a game was flexed in increase viewership of our squad. And that means I can now see it out here in California!

Me too, although we still need more help at that position. Even showing some creativity in that position, we really can't just have Davis and Holcomb, as this year's struggles in the middle after Holcomb went out have proved.

Why aren't you able to regularly view games? Incarcerated? I'm teasing, lol.

But seriously, how are you're not able to see games? I don't nor won't count anyone's dollars, but there are numerous inexpensive ways to view games nowadays.

We definitely got the short end of the stick when it came to calls in this game. It happens, still sucks though.

GM Ron failure to bring in CB and LB in the offseason maybe cost this team a win yesterday.

If a helmet comes off a player, that should be an automatic review on what happened by the refs. It could happen from New York, similar to what they do with potential concussions. You can't tell me that a helmet coming off it is not a health/safety issue.

These are injuries, you can't have starting caliber players at all levels. We've had several injuries in the secondary. You can only be so prepared for injuries.

Aside from crappy referees, play calling is the biggest issue with this team, especially moving away from the run at key moments.
