The DMV has been a transplant city for decades, yet the team sold out its games for 50 consecutive years (ended in 2018). As I see it, the problem is that the younger generation grew up with losing teams along with so many other ways to be entertained - video games, TikTok, social media, whatever. If you’re 25 years old, you remember what, a couple of mediocre seasons at best? And many of the grizzled vets who experienced the success of the 80’s and early 90’s have already thrown in the towel due to Snyder’s 20+ years of ineptitude.
I don’t envy the owners. Getting actual Washington fans to fill the stadium (that stadium of all dumps) is going to be an extremely difficult task.
Need to find that post where the OP presented like 20 QB’s from Howell’s draft class and asked the top 5 to be ranked.
A shocking number of them had Howell ranked above Purdy. Have these folks watched anything other than C’s games? Howell has had a nice year and done some great things, but what Purdy has done all year has been incredible. Went into an angry environment today and not only flourished, but dominated the Eagles. The dude is making his case for MVP.
Ron at the presser when asked about what happened:
“Hard to say really, gonna have to look at the tape”
I’ll take “things that didn’t age well” for 400, Alex.
Stroud
Purdy
Richardson
Levis
Howell
He’s having a solid year, especially for a rookie but let’s not get carried away. You forget his stats against the pitiful NY Giants: 504 yards, 1 TD, 4 picks, 10 sacks and a QBR about 42. Not even close to good enough.
Bram Weinstein just said, “better times are most certainly ahead for the Commanders”.
Oh really Bram? You do know one who you’re talking about right?
Hard to fathom that there are still five games of this garbage left.
I get the Cowboys are the better team but god damn…getting worked like this by Fatman McCarthy is the extra kick in the balls.
Very odd that the Commanders players celebrate even the smallest of plays on defense. Even when they’re losing by 3 TDs. It’s like they’re so easily satisfied.
At least he threw the ball more than 3 yards that time.
Odds Slye tanks the kick?
Hope you’re not driving even a tricycle later today
They are NOT getting fired Friday. Certain parts of this fan base need to turn off, or better yet, disable their electronic devices.
A few more games like this and ownership may decide one of the shiny new QBs available in the draft might be a very good idea.
I know there are a lot to choose from, but this would have to rank as the worst loss in the Rivera era.
Trade Pitts during the offseason. Whatever he did in a prior lifetime does not justify this open ended jail term in Atlanta.
Because the stout o-line is a good matchup for Bosa? Or because the lock-down secondary will be able to neutralize the Aiyuk/Samuel/Kittle trifecta? There are plus-matchups all over the field!
