I've learned from posters itt getting extremely mad at me that if your team is good then it's weird to have any sort of emotional reaction if they start making lots of stupid mistakes/play poorly.

We are supposed to remain perfectly zen and believe wholeheartedly in our team's inevitable victory. In fact, it's a waste of time to even watch games if your team is good, really.

Having finally caught Eagles highlights


Eagles offense is really really good when not turning the ball over. The Eagles bizarre Kenny Gainwell fetish cost them one but I have no idea what happened on the botched sneak. They ran the play the same as the last 1000 times but fumbled somehow. No good replays because its just a mass of dudes, but would have liked to see that

What causes the Eagles defense to short circuit against the Commies every single time? Howell's two best games have been vs the Eagles and only 1 sack is pathetic. Thank goodness for the blatant misfire pass for the INT, otherwise yowza.

Commies throwing on 4 and 1 at the end second half was insanely dumb. Just fall forward for the yard



I also don't understand how the Cowboys oscillate between amazing and poo poo. Hopefully its the poo poo version next week

Yeah honestly Howell isn't the worst QB you could have by any means and I think Bienemy has done a pretty good job of crafting an offense around what he can and cannot do. Those of you hating on him are crazy imo, the real crime is that your defense is as bad as it is with a sack rate roughly equal to the Eagles.

I wish it was by choice instead of the pocket disintegrating.

He's fun to watch and has tons of potential, I'm worried that he won't stay healthy though.

Seasons over. Take the time to continue working on pass accuracy and don't dive for firsts (except maybe when playing Dallas).

It's not being extremely mad its laughing at you guys bitching while our teams are complete trash dumpster fires. Philly fans are trash and don't deserve their team. You should revel in that but you don't, which makes it even worse.

McCarthy calls his offense the "Texas Coast" offense because it coasts down to the red zone, and then settles for a field goal

In the offense is best performance of the season, Dallas called the highest percentage of pass plays on first down, the highest percentage of past plays overall, completed the most passes over the middle of the field as a percentage of target share, I had the shortest third down yardage on average


This is what the offense will look like when McCarthy stops trying to " Run the dang ball"

My team has won 10 games (no more than 10!) 3 times in the last 30 years. But yes, that’s why it’s infuriating to see Eagles fans unironically poo poo on their team.

always seeking to survive and flourish
I would like to clarify some comments I made recently regarding the Eagles. To start, the Eagles swear that criminals are merely social rebels. Despite the emphasis that it places on that asseveration, we all know that it’s a willful, malicious, and deliberate lie that serves only to prove that the Eagles extricate themselves from difficulty by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice. If the mass news media were actually in the business of covering news rather than molding public attitudes to cultivate networks of snitches and spies to ensure that any unity against the Eagles can immediately be nipped in the bud, they would clearly report that some people apparently believe that if we don’t bother the Eagles, the Eagles won’t bother us. The fallacy of that belief is th

Maybe ultrasound therapy which can take a bit of time. I had a plica injury and had to do a few sessions of it.

I mean it could be that too, ultimately who knows. I just remember having to deal with a plica injury I think I likely developed from running with those "barefoot" zero support running shoes. It was pretty aggravating but not debilitating. The material gets inflamed and out of place and can end up pinching in your joints. Not fun! I did 3-4 sessions of ultrasound and massage along with PT to get it resolved. This was 10ish years ago and it never came back

I really think things will be looking up for Washington in a few seasons. A real GM and a new coach are surely in the offing, and it seems we have a QB, for now, and we’ll be farther removed from the Snyder miasma, tho 20+ years of incompetence isn’t going to be erased overnight.

I’d like to see us move Chase Young and Jacoby Brissett before the trade deadline. Sweat can go if we actually get fair value. Need to stockpile as much draft ammunition as possible for the next regime

All 3 jurisdictions (DC, MD, VA) are now jockying to entice the team. DC is working to get the RFK site transferred from the federal govt. Current DC mayor is publicly courting the team.

In MD, governor is supportive & they’re offering the land next to FedEx and offering to build town center style developments around it or some such.

VA governor is supportive of bringing the team but VA always makes noise and I’m not sure anything would get through their legislature.

I think it’s fair to say every thinking WSH fan prefers a return to the city proper.

The new owners have been touring every NFL stadium the last few months
