OT: Washington Football Team: 2021 Regular Season - Part 3 - Not Suck?

[John Price]

Watching Hard Knocks and the Colts have a serious COVID problem, many players are out. For the Saturday game on Christmas day they were missing multiple players including Darius Leonard and 3 offensive linemen (their best was out due to COVID, Ryan Kelly out for personal reasons, 3rd guy out for COVID)

And they still beat the best team in the NFC.

That's why I'm struggling to find out why the WFT looked so bad on Sunday night. Every team has COVID injuries, and multiple teams were in the WFT situation (Saints had most of their roster out). Yet the Saints only lost 20-3 or something. How do you even get to that point to give up 56 points...

I’d love to offload Payne for a 2nd or package him to move up.

I’d deal him for an LB, DB, or OL. Obviously for a QB as part of a larger deal.

Just lose, baby.

Near as I can tell the very best they can draft is 6th with clot of luck. Most likely 8 or 9 unless they f*** up and win a game.

Houston, the Giants and Carolina all ahead of them and all needing a QB, means its unlikely they will have their pick of a QB without trading up, and none of these QBs seem worthy of a trade up. Pickett is the only one that interests me and he's a good bet to be the first QB taken, meaning not to us.

Bottom line is seems after 4 months of gymnastics is entirely possible they don't come away with a QB in this draft, or they come away with a project in the mid rounds. Even most likely, they reach for one of the other QBs like Corral or Willis and land their very own Jason Campbell or worse, another Haskins.

Houston isn't taking a quarterback at 3 and the Giants have already said that they're giving Jones another year. That leaves Carolina and after reading an article on The Score, Matt Rhule is coming under scrutiny in Carolina and I'm not sure Carolina will look at drafting a quarterback. If Washington loses out this and next weekend, 6 is ideal for drafting a quarterback. The question is - will they? Ripoff Ron said he was concerned about cornerback depth, so it won't surprise me if they draft a corner. Let's also not forget that this coaching and management group seem to be incredibly loyal to Heinicke and I can see them giving Heinicke another shot because they'll blame covid and injuries.

If Ron needs to see more of Heinicke, the game has passed him by.

I’m pretty sure RR knew before the season started that his long term QB was NOT on the roster.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I think they trade for a veteran QB. Carr seems to be a name with some momentum. If you recall Ron said he thinks it’s not fair or realistic for rookie QBs to start unless they’re drafted in the top three picks or so, so I doubt if they get someone at 9 that he’ll feel comfortable starting him Week One next year. I also don’t think he’ll be patient with a rookie heading into his third year.

I also think they will be forced to trade for a vet starter.

Jared Goff….come on down! Lol….


I’d be good with Carr.

Go team, would be cool to put a damper on the Eagles playoff hopes.

 

[John Price]

I'm at home but on TV the attendance looks terrible. And the place isn't even sold out either.

Nice catch.

 

[John Price]

Early TD!

 

[tycoonheart]

Why does this team do this to me?

 

[John Price]

Offense just marched right down the field on that play.

Wonder what a competent angry QB can do to a team. This team looks different than the one that went into Philly and laid a goose egg.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Nice play calling on that drive.

 

[Corby78]

Why does this team do this to me?

What be average?

 

[John Price]

Good D stop.

 

[John Price]

Why would you jsut throw it up like that?

Looked like he was trying to just heave it out of bounds but tripped as he was about to throw so it just floated out of his hand.
