Does anyone think the Commanders stand a chance against the Lions next week?

I think it could be competitive.   They're playing with house money.

Wild nervous tick before that kick 

 

One more yard back and he misses that 

Instead of running for a couple of yards, Washington decided to kneel down for a loss of 3.  Had it been a loss of 4, he misses that kick.  It’s insane just how terrible NFL coaches are at basic strategy.  Maybe they’re so focused on advanced metrics that they don’t even understand common sense.

Yes, Detroit struggle with mobile QBs given the guys they’re missing on D. 
 

 

In the nfc, WFT is the last team I want to see. Lot of late game magic.

I think the Commanders have a legit chance at beating the Lions next week. I also think if the Vikings win they have a legit shot at the Eagles

[NickelCity]

Daniels is excellent. What a rookie.

 

I'm a Baker fan, so I'm a bummed for him.

The Lions are going to kill Washington…absolutely slaughter them.

I wondered if that was more of a rookie mistake by Daniels.

The NFL puts magnets in the kickers balls to increase viewership

 

Sounds painful.

Loser decision by Bowles.  

 

I had to make up for my Chargers call.  

[DuckyBoys]

Baker will be stewing on that fumble all off season  Bowles sucks

When they ran the prior play and took a knee to set the kick up on the left hashmark and lost about 4 yards doing so I thought to myself, those few yards could make a difference.  And it almost did.

I agree with about the Commanders, but I’ve already given up on the Vikings after watching Darnold play last week. I think he turned into a pumpkin, and seems to have the yips right now.

Detroits path:

 

Washington

 

probably Philly

Depends on who you ask

I think it was the old “pick your hash mark” play.  They could have run two QB sneaks and been 8 yards closer.  It’s unfathomable to me that you can have a quarter billion dollar payroll and choose to risk your entire season with the 11 lowest players on your roster.

I'd ask the kicker.  But I'd make sure not to have any metal on me...

[Harold Jackson]

Detroit better be scared

Common sense is the coach should expect his kicker to be far closer to the middle on a kick from that distance.

He was definitely getting it where the K wanted it.

Quinn strikes me as a pretty good coach; Id guess he'll talk to him about not going backwards next time.
