Yea..somebody had to go.  As tight as Rivera is with the Turners it has to be a job saving (or delaying) move for Rivera.  Scott was given nothing to work with at QB.  Still can't believe that Rivera thought WenTz could be the guys after Reich could not salvage him.  He must have had Hurney whispering in his ear.

Probably did him a favor.

Marty knows a thing or two about saving his ass.

(it's what he does best)

This feels like BS, they were 5th in offense with Taylor heinicke, Wentz and a questionable running game. If anything this is on Ron for pulling the trigger on Wentz. 

I believe he feels they are/can do better. They do have some low-key weapons in 3 WRs, 2 RBs, and a sleeper TE.....but that OL is ooooof.

Looks like the players, or some of them were not confident in their OC but it also looks like there were mixed messages from the top.

 

Washington’s struggles were connected to myriad factors, including inconsistency at quarterback. But the offense and the play-calling became a source of frustration in the locker room as nearly a dozen players shared their gripes about its predictability, its lack of production and certain calls that seemed to detract from the strengths of the team’s personnel.

In short, the players believed that, given the talent on the roster, they should be producing and winning more.

“We did a nice job getting into the red zone. We just got to convert with touchdowns,” tight end Logan Thomas said. “I think that was a little bit of our struggles. In the red zone, you got to be able to run the football for touchdowns. We got to be able to make plays. It stinks that we didn’t get the job done ... because we have the talent.”

“I thought we [found our identity in Week 10] when we won in Philadelphia,” left tackle Charles Leno Jr. said. “I felt like that was our identity. We started to get on a win streak after that, and at times we got away from that for whatever reason. I don’t know what the reason may be, but that’s not my job. I just got to go out and do mine.”

We were 2-to-1 pass-run, which is not our formula. As you saw, this last game, we were 2-to-1 run-pass. ... That’s how we want to play.”

Mayhew and Rivera said their emphasis on the running game is a philosophical belief rooted in their experience

The problem with that: Washington’s offense seemingly was constructed with a focus on the passing game. Not only did the Commanders trade for Wentz, they drafted a wide receiver, Jahan Dotson, in the first round.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
