  1. Earlier on this season it seemed like a lot of folks were blaming Howell for holding onto the ball too long causing a lot of sacks. Sure, that happened occasionally but I honestly think most of the folks blaming the majority of the sack issues on Howell just weren't watching the games or just don't understand football. Now it seems like most folks are starting to realize that the Washington OL is simply historically terrible. https://x.com/NickiJhabvala/status/1716158667672658124?s=20 To put that into perspective, Tua has the fastest average time to throw in the NFL at 2.38 seconds. Meanwhile, Bieniemy is starting to go full Mike Shula doing nothing to help his terribly struggling OL. They made one of the weakest pass rushers in football look like the '85 Bears yesterday. The Giants had already matched their season sack total by halftime. And virtually all of them were just straight up jailbreaks.
  2. My biggest concern with him was durability. He didn't miss a lot of games at UNC but it felt like he was constantly banged up and limited by lingering injuries, especially back related. It wouldn't surprise me if he slipped a bit in the draft because of it. I didn't really have any concerns with him on the field other than acknowledging that he was likely a slot only guy at the NFL level.
  3. Minshew is the perfect type of QB to maximize Downs. So is Bryce.
  4. It sucks to suck. Being good and coming up short sucks too. Which is worse? Depends on perspective I guess. But I look back fondly on our good seasons. We obviously never brought home the Lombardi but there were some fun rides along the way. There's nothing fun about being a doormat.
  5. They're having a disappointing first half of the season but trust and believe I'd take their situation over ours all day everyday.
  6. Talent, coaching, schemes, scouting, drafting, free agent signing, trading, working with local municipalities to complete infrastructure projects... the list of things we're behind the eight ball on is virtually endless.
  7. The Dolphins desperately needed that. Tyreek Hill is a cheat code.
  8. Well, this was a good game on paper but then the Dolphins just didn't show up. They need points on this drive before half.
  9. Never understood going to a game wearing gear of a team that's not playing.
  10. You got a warning and an hour timeout for picking fights and insulting people with every post you were making earlier today.
  11. It's so annoying to football fans but they love being able to potentially draw in new audience.
  12. He really wants to join the 300 win club. He needs 26 more. I really want to identify his successor. He's done a great job righting the ship but I think we're kinda at our ceiling with Brown at the helm. And that's with having the best QBs in program history back to back.
  13. Oh damn, just realized the night game is the Dolphins vs Eagles. That should be
  14. Yeah, fug them. They had three decades straight of HOF QB play. Welcome to reality for the rest of the league now.
  15. Hopefully competence. Simply knowing which players are on the field on a given play will be an improvement.
  16. This as close as you'll get to Mack Brown just flat out admitting that he had his team tight as hell preaching to them for a week straight not to choke. "You see upsets all over the country every day and it’s just disappointing. When you see it, you try hard for seven straight days to make sure it doesn’t happen." Instead of coming into the game with the confidence and swagger of a 6-0 team they came into the game scared as hell that they were going to choke because that was Mack's messaging all week. Brilliant.
  17. That's what he SHOULD do. I have zero confidence that's what he WILL do.
  18. I just wonder when if ever Tepper swallows the bitter pill that he's clueless on football matters and his involvement is actively sabotaging his team's chances of success?
  19. I mean, if you're gonna fire a guy and you think the answer could potentially be on your staff there's no good reason not to give him a chance with no strings attached.
  20. I think Ron gets fired mid-season to give them a chance to take Bieniemy on a test drive as HC.
  21. It's PJ Walker. Just cashing NFL checks is great for his career.
