I appreciate the love and the thoughts from you guys. I ain’t going no where! One thing about the journey, just cause you get to the top doesn’t mean you can’t have more bumps in the road! I’m built different, I’ll be back real soon

Rivera said the timeline for Darrick Forrest returning from this shoulder injury is unclear. Hopeful for the minimum four weeks, but more tests required.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 9, 2023

Quan Martin and Percy Butler will handle Forrest’s role.

With the #Commanders coming off a 40-20 loss last week to the #Bears on TNF, I’m told as of today*, managing partner Josh Harris’ perspective is to continue to allow things to play out when it comes to potential staff decisions, at this time, per source. Harris is a seasoned…

“I told him I didn’t want to go through a five-year rebuilding process because quite honestly, I don’t have the patience and from what I read, neither does he. You know as they say, ‘Hail to the Redskins.’ Let’s roll, man. Let’s go.” -Ron Rivera January 2020

Washington has ranked 30, 22 & 20th in offense the last 3 years. 18th this year

The offense has been bad in 4 outta 5 1st half games. They’ve basically abandoned the run game

And a lot of you want to fire HC & DC to give the OC w/no experience & this start to his OC tenure? pic.twitter.com/k1rNbg8O9Y

Just finished watching back Young vs the Bears for a post tomorrow because this question of Young and losing contain either with his rush or run d is wide spread. In the Bears game, containment was not an issue for Young. He was disciplined and effective. https://t.co/5x0pgCkByI

Some ridiculous Giants stats:
— Giants haven’t scored offensive TD in 145 minutes. That’s almost 2.5 games.

— QB Daniel Jones pressured on 44% of dropbacks Sunday. Has been pressured 81 times this season, 3rd-most by any player through 5 games since ESPN began tracking…

Always one player that becomes the fan base’s arch nemisis. Cody Barton is that player. Got handed the torch from Troy Apke and hasn’t looked back since.

Think about it.

The Cowboys have beaten the:

1-4 Giants
2-3 Jets
1-4 Patriots

And lost to the:
1-4 Cardinals

If they get blown out tonight, who are they?

if the Eagles push play gets outlawed…

because the Giants attempted to copy it…

and instead of it working…

they injured multiple of their own linemen & a TE…

well then that would be a brand of 4D chess from NYG the likes we’ve not seen in some time
