Re: NFC East Champs
 

Why are people shitting on the opportunity for this team to go to the playoffs. We have a bunch of young talented players, no one thinks is HUGE for them to play in one playoff game?

Yeah they may get blown out of the water, but we got a whole bunch of young guys who now get a taste of the playoffs.

Re: NFC East Champs
 

Who can we bring back from long term IR? I know you can we the season ends. Just curious?

Re: NFC East Champs
 

In all likelihood we're not beating Tampa. But I do think it's a great experience for a young team and it helps validate what Ron is trying to build here. I'd rather get beat by Tampa than watch NY get beat.

Re: NFC East Champs
 

Just remember what Brady’s achilles heel is, pressure. We have a very motivated Chase Young who will be on a mission.

Wholeheartedly agree with this.

Also, people forget how much Mara screwed over our team with the salary cap punishment. So F the Giants.

Re: NFC East Champs
 

I'm curious if them winning the division under the WFT name will influence them more to keep the name as they now have done something recordable with it?

Yes the culture building exercise getting into the playoffs is more important than draft position.

In all honesty, if we would have started Kyle/Alex to begin the year, we probably get 2 more wins at the minimum.

Going to be a crazy battle. Wirfs is dominating even as a rookie. Regardless, I think we can bring pressure.

Re: NFC East Champs
 

[quote=Warthog;1271936]Embarrassing. We will get crushed next game against Tampa. Tom Brady will crucify this defense. Doug Peterson handed us that game on a platter. Not kicking a FG and putting in some third string QB, who committed two turnovers, will not happen in the playoffs.

Yes, Alex Smith is 5-1. But the Alex Smith today is a shadow of what he was before the injury to his calf. He is almost totally immobile. He was sometimes inaccurate - because he may have problem setting his foot now? I’m not sure I can remember a QB with so little ability to avoid a pass rush. The mistake the Eagles made was just to rush 4 in the first half. But once they started constantly blitzing in the second half, Alex was totally neutralized. Guess what the Bucs are going to do to him from the first play??

I was wondering whether Rivera would keep Smith in regardless of how far the team got behind. Alex Smith had 2 INT and almost a fumble. Some will argue that the first INT was a miracle catch. But the overthrow to McKissic almost was an INT.

In the Panthers game, he left Haskins in, even though he was playing poorly. Heinickle was unable to bring the team back from that far back and just 9 minutes to go. How far will we get behind and with very limited Alex Smith production because of blitzing, before Heinickle gets a chance to try to win?

My prediction is that we will lose by over 20 points to the Bucs. I absolutely hope I am wrong, and everyone here can pile on me for being a pessimist. But Alex Smith is maybe at 60% of the very good QB who replaced Allen and who helped us beat Pittsburg and the others. He can barely take even a couple steps now, and blitzing exposed his immobility. He is also somewhat inaccurate, unless he goes to the dink and dunk, like he did in the second half.

I hope Rivera will at least give Heinickle a decent amount of time if we get far behind. But I doubt it.

Also, the team ABSOLUTELY needs to draft a QB in the draft at our first pick. Smith is not even a short term answer as a starter. Beat me up now!!

You are looking at it with a negative outlook my man, 1-15 was the prediction by some, most had 3-13. This team is trending up

Re: NFC East Champs
 

The Washington Football Team will officially conclude the 2020 season with the #2 ranked defense in the NFL according to

This is amazing, Chase Young has been huge but Jack has done a GREAT job with this roster

Yeah but fuck the talking heads. Im not going to be happy about a losing record because we were supposed to have a worse losing record. Lol. Put in a healthy quarterback not named Dwayne Haskins (thank God) and this team can make noise this year. We saw Taylor play damn well. We saw Alex not be able to move. At all. We may be trending up but I want more. We are in the playoffs. We are 0-0 like everyone else. Enough with the comeback story. The guy is not mobile. He is not healthy. I want to win a playoff game and maybe more. There is nothing wrong with pointing out the fact that Alex may not be our best option. If Taylor starts and absolutely shits the bed call on Alex again. But exhaust all options before we call it a year. Fuck next year right now.

I agree, i think we can bring pressure.

We played a conservative offensive game plan,

this coming week Turner and Ron need to run the ball at first to see if we can establish the LOS first...if so keep with it. But if we can’t run the ball, Ron and Scott fallback should be unload the playbook...I want to see misdirection, trick plays, screens, Logan thomas taking snaps under center, etc

If we lose Saturday, we'll be in prime spot to land one of these guys: [url]https://walterfootball.com/draft2020ILB.php[/url]

Re: NFC East Champs
 

Hey Where's the 24 hour rule -- F* Brady and talk of next year!

The WFT (no don't keep that ridiculous moniker - Let it stand out in the Record books as a forever note to political correctness)

Our Defense is legit this year, and regardless of how the media plays Pederson's decision, Philly was given an absolute gift of an interception at our 15, and they didn't score with Hurts in there AND going for it on 4th down from the 5.

Our offense was up and down but this was Philly's possessions in the 3rd qtr before Hurts was pulled:
3 plays 7 yards
8 plays 30 yards punt
7 plays 11 yards downs

Our defense has played lights out in the second half all year long, and they did it again yesterday.

Happy to see the Defensive Line as a group, and Chase Young particularly carry this team into the playoffs!!!

NFC East Champs
 

Right fuck next year. Put in a mobile healthy quarterback playing for a job and this defense will do its job. We put up 21 points and we can win any game.
If Alex is miraculously able to move by Saturday night than put him in on a short leash. Otherwise roll with Heineken. If we lose but exhaust all options than so be it.

Re: NFC East Champs
 

Last night and really all of yesterday waiting for the game was amazing. Meaningful football, prime time. Pumped up emotions. Playoffs for any sport is awesome.

A Saturday night prime time playoff game?

Hell yeah. Gives us time to prep our food layout accordingly, get nice but not too nice. Clean up the family room and get it all set up. This is perfect.

We're also forgetting the TD the refs gave them early on! I think we have a serious shot against TB. Win or lose, I love seeing the golden boy get fucked up.

I would love to see a mix of Heinicke and Smith. Put Smith in around the goal lines, mix in Heinicke from the 30 to 30's to push the safeties back, and open the running lanes.

Speaking of refs, and going against my own 24hour rule, How much protection money is Tom Brady paying to the refs this Saturday. I am guessing that we will see some major bogus roughing the passer penalties early to protect him.

Curl was a huge upgrade at our safety position - big kudos to the Front Office for finding him, and JDR for developing him

From the article:

[quote]S KAMREN CURL, WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM
After finding himself on this team, it’s safe to say that Curl exceeded expectations in his rookie season as a seventh-round pick out of Arkansas. Curl will actually finish the 2020 regular season as PFF’s highest-graded rookie safety at 70.1 overall across 763 defensive snaps after starting every game at safety for Washington since Week 9.

Curl played at least 150 snaps in the box, in the slot and at free safety for the Football Team as a rookie, and he made key tackles throughout the season for Washington. His 19 run stops were more than any other rookie safety this season, as were his 16 stops in coverage.

The defensive line gets all the headlines in Washington, but Curl is part of a back seven that has quietly played very well for much of the season.[/quote]

His int was so impressive last night because that ball was fucking moving. It kills me when our guys drop ints. I’ve seen Moreland, Apke and I think it was Holcomb have balls hit them in the hands. You have to catch those, Curl seems to make those plays.

He needs more snaps next season and is a starter. His versatility is key

Yeah I personally do not want Alex anywhere on the field if he cannot move. I saw him grimace so many times last night just after having to scramble even a little bit. I do not see how he will be able to go next week but if anyone will it is him. Whether it helps or hurts us I do not blame him for trying. Im really interested in seeing Heineken again. Dude looked good against Carolina.
