Turns out having 15 defenders on IL, and starting 4 guys on defense who were on OTHER TEAMS practice squads this season eventually matters.

Ill say Washington is scary going forward.  Daniels is the legit next star, and he still has 3 years on his rookie contract, so they can put talent around him.  After this, dudes will want to play for him.  Its amazing how much better things get when you jettison a shitty owner

Disappointing end for the Lions.  But Washington kicked their ass.

Detroit has one more year before they have some major roster issues.  But Washington is only going to be better next year

Detroit might have survived w/ a D of spare parts if they didn't play the no.2 offense. 

Still Detroit could have hung 50 on the washington D if they didn't make so many mistakes. If they stay healthy they are still the most talented team next year. 

I do wish Detroit would stop these panic-y trick plays. Sure they might work against a D that is overly aggressive but Washington was sitting back and playing read and react D. They knew it was coming and were ready for it. 

Philly is a bad matchup for Washington (assuming they beat LA). Hurts might not have to throw the ball more than 20 times next week.

didn't see the game, was on an airplane ............

was Goff under pressure like Darnold? or just shit the bed on his own?

[Mdot21]

have to move on from Goff imo. I think they have about hit their ceiling with him. He'll get you into the dance and possibly even make it to the Super Bowl but you aren't winning it all with him imo. He just doesn't have "it" and he shits down his leg quite often actually and many times at the most inopportune moments. McVey realized this even after they made it to a SB with Goff as the starter- which is why he shipped him off to Detroit for Stafford. I'm making a call to Minnesota and asking if JJ is available if I'm Brad Holmes.

Some other guys need to be moved on from as well, think it's time to move on from Taylor Decker at LT- he was never all that good to begin with imo- and now he's fallen off the proverbial cliff- he is straight ass homie. Cut Decker and move Penei to LT and draft/sign a RT.

Goff unfortunately went full retard- which he's good for 3-4 games a year- just so happened this one was a playoff game- and the defense couldn't stop a JV squad- but I guess they get a pass considering they had like 500 guys on IR and were missing their best player damn near all season in Hutch.

after Darnold's last 2 performances, .........  JJ is NOT available

I'm sure that Darnold will be available and at a bargain price

yeah, no thanks.

The NFC North is the SEC of the NFL.  All kinds of bitching about how the system isn't fair, and they actually have the 3 best teams.  Then they go out and go 0-3 in the playoffs

[MikeDeTiger]

That's the first time all Detroit's losses on defense felt tangible.  They smoked Minnesota so hard in the final week I thought they would kill a mid team with a rookie QB on the road.  Sheesh....I almost put $ on that game. 

Washington doesn't have good kicker, that seems like a giant red flag in the post-season, and the defense....eh, I don't know.  Detroit is so dangerous on offense that I don't know how big of a deal it is that Washington's best defensive play was to let Detroit stop themselves.

'cept for that Michigan kid at corner.  That kid was a terror.  

Speaking of, is now a good time for me to drag up and link Mdot21's posts from last year about what an overrated pos QB Jayden Daniels is?
