Watching the Redskins today was like watching a mirror image of the way our team is coached but with better clock management. T.o.p, run first offense and a bend but don't break defense. We literally got beat by our own game plan. He even went full Riverboat on us multiple times while Ron sat there baffled, playing conservatively deciding 30 yard net punts were good plays. The only time we showed any life was when we let Cam go no huddle and command the offense. Unfortunately the coaching differences came when it mattered most.

The end of half and end of game situations were just embarrassing. It was like Gruden knew Ron was going to pussy out and try and run the clock out when they pinned us inside our ten yard line at the end of the half. They were completely ready for us to run it up the gut and when they started to use their time outs you could tell Ron had a wtf moment. We are lucky as hell the Skins are terrible on offense and couldn't capitalize with a field goal because if they did the game would have been over at half time the way the second half unfolded.

At the end of the game Gruden basically let us beat ourselves and of course we did in the most Ron Rivera way possible. How in one game can you decide it is a good idea to run the ball with the game on the line and zero time outs but when you have 3 time outs and plenty of time you don't attempt a single running play? That is 100% poor coaching and decision making.

For the record I think Rivera is a much better coach than Gruden so today was a major disappointment. Rivera once again showed he has no idea what he is doing in crunch time and his management of timeouts and the clock is abysmal for someone who has been a head coach for this long. He got punked by Gruden today and it was hard to watch. last week we won in spite of Rivera, This week you could argue we lost because of him and the rest of the coaches. It is getting harder and harder to stay afloat on the Riverboat.

Lol yes, the superb coaching that almost lost against our horrible, terrible, no good, very bad team.

We are so much more talented than the Redskins it isn't even funny. This loss today happened because we were poorly prepared and poorly coached. Skins were missing more than half their play makers on offense and yet we couldn't pull out a win. Same thing in ATL. Their D missing 2 of their best players shut us down for an entire half.

This kind of poo in inexcusable for a coach that has been around for almost 8 years.

Basically we only won last week because of a Giants punt return turnover and the biggest reason we lost today was our punt return turnover.  This team can't turn the ball over and win.  

Go for it on 4th and inches with your superhuman qb and that turnover / td never happen. Alex fuging Smith converted his attempts with ease.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
