NFL 2021 Season

Yeah, I stayed up to watch it, quite an odd game. On the one hand, I would claim Washington deserved the win, on the other hand, we probably didn't deserve it failing so badly in the Red Zone so many times... Without wanting to start an argument, a better team would have buried us. (And to level things, I still think we're being overrated by everyone.)

What I did realise (and kind of miss) when you watch one game rather than Red Zone, you have much less idea of what's going on around the league! (Sorry, maybe an obvious statement)

Caleb looked bad though but without re-watching I'm not sure how much of that is on him vs the revolving door at oline vs play calling.

Interestingly, despite shipping two great DE's, we're getting reasonably good pressure on QB's (maybe this is why we shipped them?) so Caleb wasn't in an easy position quite often. Personally, I think you guys should be very happy though. Physically, I think I've seen Caleb do things that I'm not sure even someone like Maholmes would be able to do. (He's made some ridiculous passes while on the move)
 
As a Commanders fan, I don't know if it wasn't better when I just knew my team was going to lose... :cry: Tbh, I went into yesterday expecting to lose to the Steelers, but was then given hope. I was a little surprised by the spot on the 4th down that rather ended it all, albeit maybe a few inches short, but definitely not a yard short!

Very well timed tackle to stop Ertz where they did, but as you say super tough to even know where to spot that.

Yeah, definitely, it was a fantastic stop. I guess I was annoyed the person that spotted it ran from the line of scrimmage and spotted it a yard short of a 1st down. Clearly in the replay he'd caught it at about the unofficial line/41 and then got pushed/moved slightly back. Forward progress should have meant at least a measure, but I accept it did look like he didn't quite have enough for a first.

As I often say though, you never win or lose a game on one play. There were lots of plays that could have been different which would have changed the result (failed fake punt, muffed punt, drop on 3rd down before the 4th in which we failed, jumping off-sides when clearly that's all they were trying to get us to do etc)
