The Commanders played well against the eagles so it maybe a tight game
A Tight game with this Patriots Offense who struggle to score plus lost their best WR?? I beg to differ Gillette Stadium is not exactly Homefield advantage against competent Teams. The Commander are more than competent. I wouldn't bet the Patriots with your money... we're too inconsistent. You can bet that something will go wrong on our end we ain't playing with House money here.
 
Still have to deal with Payne & Allen.
All the Commanders have to do is Fake Blitz to get him uncomfortable. It's too easy to defend happy feet check down Mac Jones.

 
What the **** was that, Zeke?
I'll say Cap'n.. the commanders offense is the real deal. They can put up numbers.. they battled the eagles down to the wire both times this season. I'd expect that to continue.. the secondary as expected has fallen off.

The commanders can flat out score.. go look at how they played the eagles both times. We are the new get right team.. every team in the league wants to play us. Anyone that's delusional on here to think we can actually put up a fight is crazy. Buffalo didn't believe we could do what we did so they played soft coverage.. that allowed us to score on the last drive. I used to think we weren't the worst offense in the league.. I think we are for sure.

Howell has been impressive. Hiring EB was a smart move for that team. It is too bad Rivera is so checked out. Perhaps he doesn't like the new ownership. The Commanders defense is not great though and they just traded away their 2 best pass rushers. I doubt we win though.

Exactly that's what I see too: unlike the Homers I ain't seeing this Offense through rose colored glasses. I see a Offense that if you get up one score you have a 90% chance of winning. Homers I said one score: two scores next to impossible we have seen that movie too many times and it's boring.

Samuel, McLaurin, Dotson. 3 great WRs. Just imagine if we had guys like those. This is where the impact of the loss of gonzo is really felt. Going against WR'S like this. Yes EB has really unlocked that offense. Rivera I'm suprised he's still there especially when Snyder owned the team. Your right I doubt we can take advantage of anything they try to give us.

Absolutely correct, I mean we have to be realistic with out teams.. it gets tiring making excuses for them.. it's no fixing this unless we have better play at the QB position. I believe they are getting good coaching just don't have the execution at the position. Howell this guy seems like he’s putting up big numbers each week..

I'll add Jamison Crowder former Jet went for 95yds last week as Fourth WR. I don't think our Defense will get off the field too much fire power. Our DB's stink even with Jonathan Jones...Jack Jones is meh and JC is toast!
 
Looking forward to the Pats changing their tune this week against the Commodors. Mac throws a 76 yard scoring pass to Boutte who tip toes down the sideline staying in bounds on the last play of the game. Season turns around with the playoffs now in sight!

Agreed.. yes JC is pretty much just a guy right now.. he's no different than having a practice squad player in there. It's just no one to challenge them in the secondary.. as you said to much fire power.. Jack I'd have more faith that he could challenge a WR than JC at this point.

Sam Howell has already had a 397 and 388 passing games he's more than serviceable. Commanders might have something here.

And with those WRs he can easily put up those numbers.. yes he's a decent QB..

I am sure they are licking their chops just thinking about our Defensive Secondary I would too it's not very good minus Gonzo.

I thought they would at least add some depth at CB.. but seems they keep adding JAG after JAG.
 
It all depends on the offense and winning TOP. We have to take advantage of a bad Washington defense. As bad as some people think our defense has played, Washington is one of the worst in the league, even when they had Chase Young and Montez Sweat. They've only held a team to under 350 yards once and that was the first game. 450 yards to the Bears, nearly 400 to the Broncos?

so that means the Pats rack up 260 yards total offense
