Felt like my first post should be a next day edition. Hello all! Tress is the Way here and I'll be the first to say that holy cow what a season! Even though the team has given us some heart attacks along the way, it has been one hell of a ride. The cherry on top is smashing dem boys in their own house to end out the regular season and clinch the sixth seed in the playoffs.

Now for the good, the bad, and the ugly:

The Good:

Marcus Mariota coming in clutch
Tress Way being the best punter in the league (and also a good man all around, see tweet below)



Scary Terry making an impressive TD catch for the win, and becoming the new all time TD receiver for Washington (albeit many drops this game, terry still gets a good)

The Bad:
Our D-Line is porous, cannot stop a RB to save their damn lives
Our secondary flubs left and right, NEED marshon back for the playoffs
LBs not catching easy INTs
Austin Eke completely missing how to execute a run play
JD5 flustered by pressure (I blame this more so on Dieter.. guy is not a good center)
Jon Allen and DaRon Payne not playing up to expectations
JD5 soreness, hopefully this resolved quickly

The Ugly:
Holy dolomite the amount of drops from our WRs
Saint Couldn't Cover a Fly (St. Juice) - no explanation needed here
Olamide.. how the hell do you not catch that ball in the end zone?!
Penalties.. the true killer in the paloffs
DQ using all those timeouts before the end of the first half.. he's got to be better with clock management
Joe Whitt Jr.. our DC looks completely confused against Trey Lance who hasn't started or played in a game in over two years

Feel free to add your thoughts. Hopefully this week in practice DQ lights some fires under asses because we surely need it heading into a SNF match against the red hot bucs.

Sure that is fine with me, and I'd be happy to. I also pinned the site on the reddit so everyone can see it.

Dual boxing our game and the Bears/Pack at the end was pretty wild. Once the Bears had won it didn't really matter, but its still nice to beat the Cowboys and of course getting McLaurin the single season record.

JD5 looked off. He honestly would have been better off sitting this week. I think he was still nicked up and gassed from last week. Perfect opportunity to take a week off. DQ kinda screwed the pooch there.

Defense is a concern though. We absolutely need Lattimore because the CBs are complete trash and we get 0 pass rush. I don't see how we don't hold the Bucs under 30, but a healthy JD5 means we can score 35 ourself.
