A Name That Will Never Be Forgotten
I am scared of the Washington defense. I think even after Sunday people are still going to overlook the team. This defense was going to be good. They got a great D head coach. They have a great D coordinator (even if he is a turd). They have the likes of Ryan Kerrigan and Chase Young. I feel like this team is going to be a prime example of how far a good defense can drag you, because I’m still not sold on the offense at all (outside Scary Terry). The Team pulled together a hell of a win by teeing off on Wentz in the second half and giving the questionable offense constant short fields. I genuinely would not be shocked to see the Team in the mix for the 7th playoff spot.
Yeah, the 7th playoff spot. Remember that? That’s still happening. Weird to think about.
The Eagles look like they could be in for a tough season. Injuries already struck the team pretty badly. Wentz doesn’t seem like he’s progressed all that much from his stellar 2017, when the team felt way more stacked. He was trying to play hero ball, especially when things went bad. The Eagles already feel like a prime example of how quickly things can close in on normal (aka not Patriots) NFL teams. In 2017 the team looked set up to run the table for years. Then Wentz got hurt some more, Foles left, and they’ve lost people. Now they feel like normal old playoff contenders, and it could get worse. They have the advantage of being in a mediocre division since Dallas doesn’t seem spectacular either.
However no matter the results, I look forward to more weeks of TEAM jokes. Genuinely hope they keep the moniker.
Btw, How do you feel about Joe Buck making the HOF?
I might make a comic about it, but short answer: I’m honestly okay with Joe Buck now, he’s improved and I hate Collinsworth more. But putting him in the Football HoF is stupid, because he’s an announcer. He should be in an announcer hall of fame, especially since he leaves football for a month to do Baseball. He’s a sportscaster HoF guy, not a football HoF guy
I will never forgive him for the Tyree Catch call
Terry doesn’t like Scary Terry, he likes F1 McLaurin
We don’t get to pick our nicknames what Terry likes is irrelevant
Here’s a guy that knows exactly what he’s talking about
Hey, I remember the Muscle Hamster comic too
Are we sure Wentz is still alive. I mean damn 8 times. The oline is banged up and offers less protection than a condom in Philip Rivers bedroom
Wentz dies more than Kenny.
That young DL and Landon Collins will be a very good defense very shortly. The offense has a very young core as well. The only question is if there running game can work. They have a former receiver at RB and a duct-taped O-line. Antonio Gibson was drafted to be the next CMC, but that is highly unlikely. I also met their practice squad QB on a plane.. just thought that was cool…
Let’s not forget that the Washington Dumpster Fire’s QB couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. As bad as Wentz was in the 2nd half, Haskins was every single bit as bad in the first half. He finished with mediocre numbers, but he started 3 of 12 for 30ish yards. And those guys were mostly wide open.
Granted, no preseason, first game, new staff, yada yada, but Haskins is a GINORMOUS question mark for that team. His college tape was not impressive at all. His WRs made him look way better than he was. He needs to make some huge steps forward this year, otherwise he’ll be handcuffing them to mediocrity, regardless of how good the D ends up being.
IF Alex Smith can get on the field and play at least to the level he was at before, the TEAM would be a solid…..team?
jesusgod i wouldn’t wish that on alex smith. have you SEEN THE PHOTOS? looks like a makeup test for a gory remake of Misery. why the man doesn’t limp off into the sunset with his millions is beyond me.
“In 2017 the team looked set up to run the table for years.”
Honestly I never believed that hype… I saw the same thing said about the Legion of Boom, Rodger’s Packers after 2010, and even the Chiefs today. It’s hard to win a ring and that window closes faster than anyone would assume. Next thing you know, a future dynasty spends years going one and done/missing playoffs before they may get lucky and come back to relevance like the Saints
The abnormality that is the Patriots dynasty (or dynasties, depending on who you ask) has completely warped the view of what people perceive as reasonable, likely, or even just good. They assume every team that wins once will win multiple in a row guaranteed, and (I’m biased here as a Colts/Peyton fan that hears this next one constantly) that any QB that isn’t Tom Brady sucks and is overrated. Not that they’re just worse than the GOAT, but that they suck.
Mahomes and the chiefs are in as good a spot as reasonably expected to be the next dynasty, but there are still so many things that have to go right for it to actually succeed. People just assume that the Patriots is the norm for dynasties
It would only make sense that after an offseason of debating whether the Cowboys or Eagles would win the NFC East, the Washington Football Team decides that it’s their year. The Football Gods are quite the funny bunch.
“A football team has no name.”
Ok, your comment just gave me an idea. What if they permanently change their name to…
“A Football Team Named Sioux”
Ahhhh…. WOCKA WOCKA! In case any of y’all are too young or don’t get it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIMgEEASoWQ
… and before I could watch the Man in Black, this commercial with Gronk in it came up first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRIOPfvMgOU. How did I not know about thi? Seemed scary reminiscent of

I wouldn’t buy any tickets for the Washington defense’s bandwagon quite yet. Before the season started there were concerns about the Eagles offensive line – injuries and lost personnel were stacking up. A few of those 8 sacks should be blamed on the O-line weakness, not stellar D by Washington.
Don’t get me wrong – I’d bookmark their page on Bandwagon Travelocity and keep an eye out for cheap tickets, but the hype may be a little early.
FAN FUCKING TASTIC.
CLEVER MUTHAFUCKA
You would think that a man who’s team got murder by a great defense with a mediocre offense in the Super Bowl, would put more respect into a team with a great defense.
Trent Dilfer is E L I T E though
Plus the Giants QB was Kerry Collins. Not to mention how Haskins performs right now made Trent Dilfer look like Roger Staubach in comparison.
Oh you’re gonna eat crow now. ROFL
