Finally talking about the coaching staff that's the problem. Scott Turner is the worst OC ever in history of football. Time for firing the whole coaching staff now.
This staff are an embarrassment to the league. Absolute clowns. My high school coach could out game plan these morons. I feel for the players. They deserve better as do us fans. It's a shame.
Wow . Um that rant was mad deep at the end from that reporter . As the Opps us GIANTS fans have known that type of Heart breaking pain 4 the past 6 years or so . But check it B, I understand that sometimes you have 2 immediately bust the pimple ,instead of waiting 4 the pimple 2 come 2 a head . The GIANTS gutted everything ,from the head Coach on down . But as far as WASHINGTON'S concerned, first the owner has 2 come 2 the ( Crucial ) decision . That sometimes busting the pimple now & not waiting 4 it 2 implode on it's own ,can be the best way 2 start the healing process . Just my thoughts on the matter at hand, coming from a GIANTS fan peace & blessings word up … BUNG !!! 💯🗣️🤔😐🔵
My honest take is the O line and offensive play calling is absolute trash. I'm not gonna slam the Defense as they really dont give up big plays and they make a TON of goal line stands. I would prefer they had a good blitzer coming from the LBs because I think that will open up the opportunity for more picks, but I wont slam them. And in this point, Rivera and Del Rio are actually doing a decent job. I aint got shit good to say for the O line. I grew up with the Hogs and maybe I got used to the line Scott Linehan/Kyle Shannahan brought in, but they are trash. We lose Trent Williams to stupidity. We let Scherff go. Compton left with Shannahan. And who did we replace them with? Leno? He's alright at best, but he's kinda slow. I dont see anyone on the defense getting green butts. The line doesnt get any push. No holes are opened up for these runners. And their pass protection is just as bad.
It really sucks because I think both Heineke AND Wentz could be great with better play calling and better protection. You should only really need to dump off a pass because there is good coverage down-field, not because it was designed that way and definitely not because you will die if you hold the ball 1 more half second.
Santana is visibly upset… like he’s holding back tears
Thank you B Mitch and JP. I was so disgusted yesterday. I’m done with this trash. I can’t believe I thought this would be a good team. I’m sick and tired of hearing the excuses and promises of being better. It is so obvious that the difference between us and other teams is a good coaching staff and play caller.
Should have stayed with Taylor, Carson is done in the nil
Thanks for keeping it💯. They needed to hear that shit. Such an embarrassment smh🤦♂️
Thing is they put together a good team they just can't coach'em
Wow! I’ve never seen analyst this fired up. I love it. Hold these bums accountable.
You heard it here first. Riverboat Ron is in on the sabotage to force Snyder to sell.
He spoke nothing but facts
This is what we fans we want to see. People who care and love this team as much as we do. This shit has been going on way to long and we’re sick of it..please get a whole new coaching staff in here and for Once can we please find a FRANCHISE QB not some old guy who another team doesn’t want so we go get him..Ron Rivera has made some terrible decisions since hes been coach but starting Wentz might be the Worst
Santana Moss put facts where they belong. The players had to shoulder the responsibility of playing better than they did. You can't finger the coaches for the blame all the time. These players are professional athletes who knew what was at stake. Wentz didn't lose the game all by himself. With almost every factor favoring the Commanders, they should have been hungry enough to impose their will against Cleveland and certainly put upmore than 10 f***ing points. Again, lost opportunities. We didn't deserve to win if players didn't take the game serious enough. Back to the laughing stocks.
Get rid of Wentz.
If coach Ron Rivera owns up to his failure and just resign as coach this team might get somewhere.
You sure as hell can not rely on the owner Daniel Snyder to fix it. I hope the team is sold so they can
just clean house and get a new coaching staff.
We lost faith playing for the coaches n the season after the giants game just like I knew we would aww the refs won't let us win like go out there n win the game with out them
I just don’t understand how they could come out with that bs effort and execution
They got extremely lucky winning that many. Look at the miracles we had against teams like Atlanta
This was an absolute organizational failure of epic proportions to say the least. From the Washington Redskins, to the Washington Football Team, to the Commanders, this goes beyond X’s and O’s. Different name, different coaches, same result. There’s plenty of blame to go around.
Let me float out a crazy theory. Since Dan Snyder is basically forced to sell the team, who’s to say that he didn’t tell RR to play CW. He should know that the players and fans were screaming to play TH. Since CW was such a bad investment, Snyder wanting to give the fans and organization one last 🖕before he leaves. Call it crazy, but you can’t rule it out!!
Thank God that Snyder will be gone soon. After this season, RR, ST, and JDR have to be gone. Their coaching and schemes are plain, vanilla and mediocre at best. They simply are constantly out coached, they continually fail to develop players and they don’t know how to utilize their talent.
CW has to be gone! TH should be the starter. I’m curious to see SH can do and I hope he starts vs Cowboys since there’s nothing to play for. I wouldn’t mind if Washington drafted a QB in the 1st or 2nd round (Bryce Young, Stetson Bennett or CJ Stroud)
Hopefully RR will be fired! Please consider Jim Harbaugh, Eric Bieniemy or Sean Payton.
First things first, Dan Snyder can’t leave fast enough! This fan base deserves so much better.
Ron got too Geaux !
Brian spittin' Real shit…
