Hot Takes Welcome (Post Commanders Loss) (9 Viewers)

[SWJJ]

At home you kick the XP and go into over time.

This loss is on coach Rizz

 

[El Caliente]

Start Rattler the rest of the way and see if there’s a future there. Glad potential HC candidate, Kingsbury, got to see him up close.

I wouldn’t elevate Kliff to HC. Washington fans hate how his offense has gone stagnant since the midway point of the season. They have poked at this being a thing with him ever since he was at AZ. Once he is figured out, he can’t adjust, and that seems to be more than opinion as he has a coaching record (CFB and NFL) that would make that loser DA blush.

We might have won this game if Rattler starts. If there is anyway possible to move on from Carr next year I would prefer to just let Rattler start next year and maybe develop.

I still want Loomis to move up and bring in a new GM and I am ready to have a full coaching change. Bring in a new HC and let him and a new GM rebuild the staff.

I like going for 2 but I hate throwing to Juwan Johnson. He just had a bobble earlier in the drive. He has also been inconsistent this whole year. I think Moreau catches that pass.

 

[rlemieux]

One thing is sure. Dennis Allen is addition by subtraction. Is Rizzi a head coach, probably not, DA definitely was not. Hopefully that’s the nail in the Loomis coffin we want.

I’m not singling him out as my favorite choice at this point (he’s not) but the Commanders are the fourth ranked team in total offense and he’s done a great job with a rookie QB.

totally understand going for the 2 there … it’s an untimed down at the 2. You make it…you win!

However, I think it’s also fair to say it was shortsighted on Rizzi’s part.

You just scored a TD on the last play of the game. The defense has been playing well and the crowd was jacked.

Why not kick it to OT and see what happens?

Take the immediate pressure off your rookie who just drove the field for a TD at the clock strike.

Get a chance to settle back and see how the next 10 mins play out for your season.

Again, I get why you go for it, but I also think it robbed Rattler of a chance to play an important OT when he’d already answered the bell with a TD pass at the buzzer.

ultimately I like the decision. True we would have a chance in OT but I like the guts and confidence to go for it with everything in our control. We came up inches away from a win. A win or loss doesnt mess the season up more than it is. Lets make the finishes exciting.

Nah, you are out of the playoffs. Go for it and end it quickly win or lose. Extra plays also can cause a career ending injury

If we hired Kliff as HC it would be one of the worst HC hires in the history of this organization

I think we had too many injuries to remain competitive in overtime.

I'm actually feeling pretty optimistic about the future. I don't think we are years away from contending. If we stay healthy and have a good draft in 2025, we'll have a shot.

 

[Vision]

Guys are just blowing by Ruiz, without him even moving his feet. Dudes a turnstile....smgdh

Ruiz is not good at all. We need a LG and rg.

 

[Elvis]

My hot take has been hot all season, but our O Line is absolute garbage. Three 1st rounders, a 2nd rounder, and an UDFA and the pressure comes immediately against good and bad teams alike. I know we need a QB and lots of other positions, but nothing on offense is getting better without the line improving and I don't see how it's going to happen.

 

[SirLoinSaint64]

-Terrible decision. Takes all the positives away.
-Haener is not an NFL QB in case you were on the fence otherwise.
-Miller has ability..
-Washington is winning with a terrible Head Coach. Game should not have been close.
-The Saints played hard today. Man.

Maybe, but it’s worth a shot, in my opinion.
