Commanders game thread

Ok...so we beat a bad Washington team at home. OConnell finally ran a balanced play sheet. Do we give him credit for finally doing that in week 14 when everybody's been calling for it all year and we are already eliminated from the playoffs!?

Yes, we do. At least I do. Sure I wish he'd come to that conclusion a lot sooner and not tanked our season in the process of getting there, but better late than never. Let's see if he can stick with it/put together another good gameplan next week.

I care a lot more about seeing improvements from the head coach than I do from the fringe players who the internet tells me "NEED TO SEE THE FIELD".

The home fans finally got to enjoy a great win, the team looked good, and I had a nice Sunday! Much prefer all that to getting smoked, receiving another week of haha u guys suk memes from my friends, and worrying about the draft 5 months away.

And I even got to see Travis Kelce give another team an interception

I'm not sure who needs to hear this but Sam Darnold is 5/11, 37 yds, 1 INT at halftime right now in Atlanta.

Circling back-- Sammy ripped it in the second half, sheesh!

2H he was 15/19 for 220 and 3 TDs, jeez he lit the Falcons up. 

On the other side/hand-- Kirk continues to look real washed.

Interesting stat line: 14/33, 160 yards and 3 INTs with zero TDs. Pretty fugly, huh? This was Patrick Mahomes last night.

Listen, if you can't enjoy a much needed decent game by McCarthy and a win, you've got an agenda. But what else is new on this board with a few posters?

Interesting how we tend to gloss over legendary QBs bad games. Because all QBs have had them. I'll always remember Tom Brady throwing 4 INTs in the first half of an opener against the Bills. Pats lost 31-0. They went on to win the Super Bowl that year. 

Read this earlier:

By pitching a shutout on Sunday afternoon, this Vikings team became the first team in 33 years to follow up getting shut out by pitching a shutout of their own. To find the last time this happened, you have to go back to the 1992 season. That year, the Denver Broncos lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3 of that season by a score of 30-0 at Philadelphia, a game that saw them only pick up four first downs and gain just 82 total yards of offense. (Yes, John Elway did play in that game, he was just bad.) 

This was not John Elway's rookie season either. He was a 10-year vet at the time.
