Yep. Hence why Roseman is regarded as one of the best and our assortment of slack jawed idiots are panned routinely.

He drafts the way most here would. Then he goes and adds quality FAs. Baun is his finest work IMO

Keep in mind that Bryce would've beat this team on the road with a game winning drive if XL didn't drop that ball. 

I'm all for feeling optimistic about our guys but we can't genuinely compare that to a playoff atmosphere in Philadelphia. And as inconvenient as a truth it is we need to see Bryce Young do that when the games matter.

But funny to think about the small things, like if the panthers beat Philly than I’m pretty sure Washington would have won the nfc East. Funny how small things can change the playoffs like that.

I think Philly had 2 more wins than Washington.

I guess you can argue that but the Eagles still had 14 wins while the Commanders had 12.

Anywho my gut says I don't think being at home would have saved the Commanders here though. They were simply outclassed in this one all around.

Tough loss for Washington. This game was so much closer than the score indicated. 
 

I still don’t believe the Eagles are that good of a team. They just haven’t met anyone who can stop the run and force Hurts to take chances. The Bills and Chiefs can for sure do that.

Yeah I wasn’t paying attention to final records but knew the last Washington and Philly game was a must for each team.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
