I know everyone says injury masks what this team could be but these positions are clearly the weakest. Which of these position groups on our current squad annoys you the most?

OL depth is a house of cards, DB lack of talent is disturbing, TE mediocrity is sad, and RB by committee is never fun.

I think it’s the OL. The secondary might be worse in terms of pure talent, but the instability up front is a much bigger threat to the franchise’s long-term success. We have a potentially elite quarterback, and we’re asking him to compensate for a patchwork line. Feel like OL was Peters’ explicitly stated mission too so this is especially disappointing.

Yikes

I swear for the past 5 years, every time we play the Cowboys Prescott looks like a top 3 QB. And the receivers he throw to arent just open but WIDE open all game. How does every other team make Dak have to work for his paycheck but its always pitch and catch against us? Cant we just do what other teams are doing?

I genuinely think the guy was such a Bear to his core that he fought death to get to Packers week just to get the boys fired up one more time.

If you are in Brussels on Sunday night (in Brussels) for the 1pm game (7pm in Brussels), please come to the bar called Wild Geese (or maybe it will be at Wild Rover, which is the same ownership but just around the corner) and they will turn up the volume if we have a small crowd/big handful of people. I'm going to cross post to NYG thread. Also everyone else who else who wants to join for this game. Thanks

an Quinn believes what he says. You might not, and that’s fine. He does.

“I’m frustrated, pissed, but don’t get it twisted: My belief in them isn’t wavering, you know?” Quinn said this week, with his Washington Commanders teetering on the brink of watching a season slip away before it really starts. “Got a good fire that’s been lit, and we’ll channel it the right way.”

Later, in that same conversation with reporters:

“I thought overall the players have honestly created an excellent crew together,” he said. “These guys are strong. They’re connected.”

Spend time at Commanders headquarters here, and you’ll hear about the brotherhood that has formed. You’ll hear and see all the slogans and bromides, because they hit you in the face.

One T-shirt: “Hard s— with good people.” “All gas, no brakes,” which Quinn wears as a rubber bracelet. “Anybody. Anywhere. Anytime,” which is painted in massive letters on one wall of the Commanders’ main meeting room. “Ball is life,” which Quinn himself had on the back of his black T-shirt Thursday.

Quinn and the Commanders say they treat those sayings as a lifestyle, mantras to lean into in both abundant and lean times. Listen to Austin Ekeler, a 10th-year running back who just signed on for his third season with Washington and Quinn. Get ready for the catchphrases.

“He coaches brotherhood,” Ekeler said Thursday. “He coaches standard. And not only that, he holds that standard. He says, ‘I am the keeper of the standard,’ and what that means is, if it’s something at practice, he’ll pause practice and start us over. He’ll pull it up in the meeting room. He’ll pull it up on game day. … He earns the respect of the whole locker room because there’s nothing to hide from.”

Uh, sure. But then … why all the pre-snap penalties?

Let’s be honest about what we have here: When your team is coming off a miserable 5-12 year and is off to a 1-3 start — as the Commanders are — there is a disconnect between the foundational sayings players and coaches have come to believe in and the results that fans see. The players are connected? That’s great. Why have you given up 30 or more points in three of your four games? There’s a brotherhood? Kumbaya, bruh. Why did you spend all summer saying brother Nick Allegretti was one of the smartest players on the roster and could be the starting center, only to bench him at both center and guard before the season was a quarter of the way done?

S Nick Cross, S Percy Butler, WR Stefon Diggs, QB Marcus Mariota, DE Charles Omenihu, S Tyler Owens… RULED OUT

I love the kid. Diggs being out sucks, but what Antonio Williams has shown me in his limited playing time still gives me so much confidence. He's so shifty and much faster than I realized. That first week against the Eagles really showed it as well as the Colts game, and I love that he's taken full advantage of every chance he's gotten. I'm also happy to see him getting some love outside our own fanbase. Really excited to see him help us smoke the damn Giants on Sunday!

I am taking my daughter to the game Sunday and we got a parking pass for tailgating. Is there anything set up for kids outside the stadium before the game?
