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 think I was wrong in my guess here. On later inspection, it seems like the more likely situation is that the part about his diabetes is still in this article, but it's just hidden behind a paywall..

      That could have happened. Could have been a HIPAA issue too.   But I think the fact that these other quotes existed (even if they were put in later) adds necessary context to this situation. It wasn't just AD being the victim of some smear campaign that somehow heavily influenced NFL teams...as seems to be the narrative. Instead, there were also concerns among different scouts (assuming it wasn't one scout) about other aspects, including his Combine workout.   So we know what some thought...and we know what happened. 10 teams drafted WRs before AD. Yes, 3 of those WRs were going earlier than him no matter what, but 7 other WR-needy teams opted for other WRs. And even Ballard actually traded down with him on the board. It seems fairly safe to assume that NFL teams didn't have him as a R1 WR, or top 5 at the position, for reasons beyond a couple comments from anonymous scouts.

      Cardinals need to sweep the Marlins in their 3 game series.  At minimum win 2/3.   It's a chance they cannot mess up.

      Honestly, isn't that kind of a base level journalistic integrity and ethics? I don't think he's setting up some arbitrary litmus test. I'm no journalist and have no idea what the professional standard is, but this to me seems like a pretty reasonable standard - if you are writing about someone and a source is sharing pretty disparaging information that might affect the subject to the tune of millions of dollars, the least you should probably do is to ask for comment from said subject, before you print that information.

      Kind of seems like you're setting up a litmus test for whether a reporter is "good" or not based on whether they do this thing you don't like. So maybe you could share some well-respected media in your opinion -- sports would be most relevant -- and then we could share some examples.    I agree that the best practice would be to reach out to the subject for a response. But if the subject declines or doesn't acknowledge the request, now what? Add a line saying 'subject declined to respond,' and now the unnamed sources are viewed with more legitimacy?
