Watching the Redskins ...WFT/Patriots.

Rivera is playing his offensive starters and Belichick had most of his.

Pats won that drive.

Chase Young with the strip sack on Newton.

The Washington DL is going to be a real problem.

I feel good with a healthy Oline. But man if guys get hurt it's a problem against them.

Tyron Smith had better be healthy and ready to compete or he's going to get embarrassed.

They are the best in the league. Best shot is to keep them on the field

Matt Judon was killing it on the first couple of series, now he is down with a knee thing.

Last week the Cowboys offense didn't do much of anything, mainly because about half the starters sat out. But that didn't stop clowns in the national media from sounding the alarm about the Cowboys anemic offense. As if more was expected from a skeleton crew in a preseason game.

I doubt they'll keep the same energy tomorrow regarding the WFT and Patriots, even though both teams are playing with most of their starters.

The Washington OL is what will be key with them.

If they can't get their job done, the D prowess won't matter.

Looks like Fitzpatrick is their lifeline. Not sure I would intend to carry on a season with that risk.

 

[boozeman]

New England is really a transformed team.

Will be interesting how the QB thing works out.

 

[boozeman]

The Washington DL is getting suckered big time on this drive.

A lot of screens and traps.

I thought the 3rd down screen was predictable. It's exactly what I would have called if I were playing Madden.

It was a nice design though.

I actually thought they moved the ball pretty well in the first few drives for having the personnel they had.

Same here. Which is why I was wondering WTH all those people expected.

Mac Jones actually looks decent

I wasn't being critical. I thought it was a good call to try to take advantage of Chase Young's aggressiveness.

I still think it's Cam's job to lose. At his age and at this stage of his career, I just don't seen Belichick going to a rookie unless his hand is forced. I doubt he wants to throw away one of his few remaining seasons breaking in a rookie QB.

Judging by the box score of the Eagles/Steelers game Joe Flacco is running circles around Jalen Hurts.

I wonder how long the Eagles will pretend that Hurts is a better QB than Flacco.

He pretty much should have a nice TD pass.

As long as it takes is my guess. I just can't see them managing a way out of it.
