He threw like 3 or 4 INTs with his left hand. Most people try a left handed throw once every ~5 years. This idiot did it 3 times in 1 year, all INTs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolts223 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Honestly any of the 3 teams that aren't the Giants have a decent shot. My head says the Cowboys but the #1 rule of the NFC East is that you cannot win that division in back to back seasons. So I'll go with the Eagles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruh… he brought a Colts team to 9-8 (extra game) that was 11-5 with a decrepit Philip Rivers with one foot in retirement. 10 hours ago, aceinthehouse said: If Wentz stays healthy, Washington is winning 10 games minimum. Since 2000 the team in Washington has hit 10 wins just twice. The first time was in 2005 and last time was 2012 aka RG3’s rookie year. But, 10 wins is the minimum for a Washington team that has won 7 games the past two seasons? Why do you do this to yourself Ace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinthehouse Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 The Eagles should be improved, but I think the Eagles are being blown up expectation wise from post draft. The Eagles beat one team with a winning record last year and that was the Saints and Trevor Simien. While Washington with Heinike faced a slew of top QB's & beat Carr & Brady. Wentz is better than Heinike. Let's just admit that right now. He can make the throws that Heinike cannot. Here are the QB's Washington will face this year.... Aaron Rodgers=GB Matt Ryan=Colts Kirk Cousin=Vikings Trey Lance=49ers Jalen Hurts=Eagles x2 Daniel Jones=Giants x2 Dak Prescott=Cowboys x2 Trevor Lawrence=Jags Ryan Tannehill=Titans Marcus Mariota=Falcons Desean Watson=Browns Mills=Texans Jared Goff=Lions Justin Fields=Bears Washington can do some serious damage vs these QB's.

notthatbluestuff Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 In terms of play, Wentz really wasn't as bad as people make out last season. He wasn't a world-beater but he was decent enough. His reputation was torpedoed by the disastrous last game of the season coupled with his complete lack of leadership and locker-room presence.

I think technically one of them got changed into a fumble, even though he absolutely threw it, but according to a highlight video on Reddit..... Yeah. I guess it was just 2 INTs: Edited May 7, 2022 by Matts4313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 We know what Wentz is. He will have games where he plays well and wins you the game, and he will have games where you just scratch your head and wonder what went through his head. Yes, it is an upgrade from a bottom tier starting QB, but he is essentially QB purgatory. Washington if healthy will be a very competitive team, but I don't see where they take the leap past that. Their defense was hyped immensely last offseason and was a mediocre unit. Their offensive weapons are good enough to win with, but they aren't going to take over games without top tier QB play. Their OL is a decent unit, but it is a far cry from what the Eagles are putting out there. Imo, the path for Washington is failure from other teams... so it is a good thing they play in the NFC East. I don't see them taking a huge jump forward if they win the division, I see them staying healthier and playing to expectations vs a division that consistently under achieves. I do think if a team in the East is going to take a jump it will be the Eagles, but I also see that as a very long shot due to the QB situation. If Hurts can take a leap forward and prove to be a competent NFL passer, the Eagles instantly become a very scary team. Pairing a solid passing game with AJ Brown next to that dominant OL/running game would be a combo no team in the NFL will want to face. The problem is, I just don't see Hurts taking that leap.... so it is the Cowboys division to lose(which in fairness the Cowboys are really good at losing when they shouldn't).

Honestly, “mediocre” is a kind and generous description of how they performed last year. They were probably the most disappointing unit in the entire league last year, and also probably the most disappointing WAS unit in my 35+ years as a fan. Perhaps the 2013 offense in RG3’s second year was worse (and more painful), because it was the cold beginning of the cruel end of that particular dream. They’re the key to this season, no doubt. Are they going to be more like the 2020 group that was 3rd in DVOA — or will it be more like last year all over again? I think there’s some reason to be hopeful. The move of Landon Collins to the “don’t call me a LB” nickel spot was sort of a key change that allowed a lot of things to fall into place — both in terms of his positive impact at the LOS and the similarly positive effect of getting him out of the secondary. They had a 7-game span immediately thereafter (against GB, DEN, TB, CAR, SEA, LV, and DAL) where they gave up 19 points and 293 yards per game. That’s more than 5 points and 60 yards under their combined season averages. And not coincidentally, they went After that, COVID hit en masse and things fell apart again. But I think that was a long enough period of sustained success to show that they’re at least capable of returning to that 2020 level of play. And they did a lot of that without Young and Sweat, so the ceiling is probably even higher than that. I’m done predicting anything from this team. They could win the next two Super Bowls and I’d still think 8-9 was the most likely result in 2024. But if the defense returns to form (against a weaker slate of offenses this season) and if they can keep Wentz healthy all year (no bigger curse than being a WAS QB at this point), they really should be in it until the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
