Is our O line sucking an excuse for Matt Ryans INTs and fumbles too? Im trying to understand where the line is between a cause and an excuse. 

 

well even while on pace to be sacked a historic amount of times, Ryan has not been held under 100 yards. Wentz has.

Matt Ryan was basically brought in to be just a little above a game manager. Make the big plays in the 4th Qtr though to help us win. What has been surprising is, our O.Line play and Taylor's play. Taylor was out last game and other than the Texans game, he hasn't been much help for Ryan at all. In a realistic good game, if Matt throws for 225 yards and 2 TD's/1INT, even 1 fumble but Taylor gains a 100 yards, we should win most games as long as our D can create a couple of turnovers as well. Taylor was a huge crutch for Wentz last year, in our Patriots win, Wentz had 57 yards passing, 1 TD, and an INT. Taylor had a huge game is why we won. That win was the best win of the season and Wentz threw for 57 yards. Mac Jones threw for 299 Yards.

He has also lost twice as many with 4 losses already. Colts are 2-2-1 and haven't played near as good as they can. Washington is 2-4, lets not brag about Wentz too much with his 99 yards and no TD performance. By the way I am just joking around with you because when I post anymore I don't want people to think I am getting on them :thmup:.

 

All that matters is, he did win but he got a lot of gifts. Some in here can say and did say we got gifts against KC, but it was KC who is arguably the best team in the league that we beat. Bears stink.

I was only pointing it out for the people who are keeping track.   I think so far this season, Wentz and Ryan are awash.  neither has really done better than the other.  I hope Ryan has a good game and the Colts beat the Jags on Sunday.

The next 2 games will show me a lot if bringing in Matt Ryan was worth it. He was brought here to beat Tennessee because it starts with winning the division, and some of the better teams like KC which he did. We lost that 1st game against Tennessee but almost came back. Taylor has been shockingly average looking at his numbers and by the eye test. Only the Texans game is where he has had over 100. Taylor was putrid at Jacks and against Tennessee. Even in the KC win, he only had 71 yards. Had our D not played lights out and Matt Ryan doesn't pull a rabbit out of his hat, we lose to KC.

I seem to recall a certain QB named Peyton Manning having a whopping 35 yards one time.

His play was average in the 2015 playoffs (I thought he played well vs the Pats) and really bad in the SB but all Denver fans remember is they won the Lombardi. That is the most important thing. Tom Brady had an average playoffs and SB in 2001 but nobody cares, they won it all is why.

Rivers went off after the game defending him. Because this he was asked about the report that he had no say in Wentz coming to WA.

 

This is what makes me think that he will be the starter for the entire season unless they are eliminated early.  Rivera knows he is his best chance at winning and his job could also be on the line.  He's behind him.  Big ugly win last night but it was a win none the less.  They could still get hot and make a playoff run.  So I don't see him getting benched anytime soon.

So we all need to be Skins fans this season.   Having a second round pick instead of a third is huge in my opinion.

Look at the commanders' schedule

 

They play almost all their remaining games against teams who are strong in pass rush and QB pressure. 

 

Just like how Wentz folded against Philly, Dallas and Chicago defenses, he'd be scared to play most games, and he's not going to do very well. 

 

At some point, he'd be forced to play fearlessly and would start turning over the ball often. The season could be cut short for him if he continues to play like this, and those ugly wins would be an exception rather than expectation. 

 

Only thing that has to be seen is how far Ron Rivera would go to support his current QB, and whether Wentz would be benched short of 70% play time. 

 

Washington GM could ask Wentz to be benched to save the second round draft pick. That'd be smart business decision, as by week 10 they'd be starting to salivate over the top 5 overall draft pick and start watching QB tapes.

    • I almost spit my coffee out reading this a few times, lol!  I love sarcasm and I especially love it when there is some truth to it!  Well played Sir!
    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • if he is healthy and they make the playoffs in spite of, say, Houston being the 1 or 2 seed in a loaded afc, you think Irsay would contemplate firing him? That would mean we took another step forward and AR proved he could stay healthy and play ball. I don’t see his seat being hot in that scenario at all. I see the organization being fired up with that and ready to hit the offseason hard to take the next step forward. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
