Commanders fans! I love y’all
— Jeremy Reaves (@JR1ERA) December 8, 2022
I do find the team easy to root for. Most of the players are homegrown and drafted by the team.
We also see organic leadership in Mclaurin and Allen. The team is buying in. https://t.co/Ko7F0xg3xD

Let’s talk about this sequence in OT.
Love this call from Turner. Washington was running G-H counter all game which sets up this trap concept well. RG and RT leave the 3-tech unblocked for the pulling LG but he falls making this run even easier, Samuel does the rest https://t.co/G1fkyrugbp pic.twitter.com/DSfxZp90de

Don’t mind this call. I haven’t seen Washington use this formation a ton. You would like to see Bates get to the second level but I think Robinson leaves a few yards on the table. He should probably continue taking this outside but you get 3 yards on 1st and 10 so decent start pic.twitter.com/cCwz4SGDi8
— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) December 7, 2022
This is the play that hurts. Again, I don’t hate the call. Outside zone to the left and Thomas whiffs on his block which blows this play up. Any sort of block and this play is a success and worst case scenario it’s 3rd and very short pic.twitter.com/4JV8byFtLt
— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) December 7, 2022
A lot going on here where all my thoughts won’t fit in 1 tweet lol. It’s 3rd & 8, yet closest route break is 14 yds downfield.. what did AG see that froze him & left Bates on an island w/51.. max pro vs. Cov1 robber makes it hard for TH to escape pocket.. NYG got home w/4 vs. 7. pic.twitter.com/IOOdD7ilXk

He’s struggled with injuries early, then they got Thomas/Bates ahead of him. Plus they like using all 3 WRs in McLaurin/Samuel/Dotson and sometimes use both RBs in Robinson/Gibson. Only so many snaps to go around https://t.co/vMuCWLR1qs

1000% why I don’t trust opinions/eye test with no data … “TH is too short and why he has so many batted balls.”❌

Kyle Shanahan on #49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo, confirms no ligament damage: “Still going to be a big recovery. There’s that way outside chance (of a return) late in the playoffs but just an outside chance. Not real optimistic about it but never rule it out.”

Since 2000, there have only been 5 players drafted at pick 250 or later to record at least 1 passing yard in the NFL:
34,990 – Ryan Fitzpatrick
7,027 – Trevor Siemian
6,630 – Doug Flutie
276 – Brock Purdy
7 – Bradlee Van Pelt#Niners | #FTTB pic.twitter.com/YTGm3vub5G— Pro Football Reference (@pfref) December 7, 2022

The #Texans are switching back to Davis Mills as their starter this week vs. the #Cowboys. Kyle Allen returns to the bench.

OK, I love the idea of just giving him an honorary appearance like this. (In an easy win where there is zero chance he would need to chase down a fumble and reinjure himself) https://t.co/srBdweaAQD

Andrew Luck was hyped because he was thought to be another Tom Brady.
In the end, he left football to avoid becoming exactly that.— Jake Query (@jakequery) December 7, 2022
This is such a fantastic illustration of Andrew Luck as a person—w/a ton of detail into his decision that’s coming to light here for the first time. Good for Luck, the best QB prospect in a generation, for finding happiness.
Great work, @SethWickersham.https://t.co/o0FEjygTl9

After a whirlwind free agent visit tour, with three facilities, three physicals and countless meetings with the #Giants, #Bills and #Cowboys, Odell Beckham Jr headed home to Arizona to weigh his options, talk to his family and plot his next move. So, we wait.

The @NFL has SIX teams on bye this week, including the #Commanders. It’s also the last week in most leagues for regular season fantasy football.
Should the #NFL figure out a way in future to fix this? #FantasyFootball has fueled the shield for a long time & a lot of $$$.

There is one Seattle area tech billionaire who is NOT interested in buying the Commanders: Steve Ballmer. A source close to Ballmer tells @FOS that the Clippers owner has no desire to buy the team or any other NFL franchise.

What if every one-possession NFL game had the opposite result?
The top SIX seeds in the AFC would all be 8-4 and the Vikings would be 1-11 and eliminated from Playoff contention
It may seem crazy, but we might be just a few bounces of the ball away from this reality
What if… pic.twitter.com/CNzxxQCCtp

Fireworks in Detroit
The Vikings (10-2) are -1.5 road dogs against the Lions (5-7) this week.
The game has the highest total in the NFL (53.5)
