The fact that Pierre still roots for Washington warms my heart! https://t.co/rAGqsglyJa

Chris Thompson was a fan favorite. I think JD McKissic is a better player. Give him his due.

As good as Heinicke's TD throw to Ricky Seals-Jones was, and it was really good, I think the catch while getting both feet down was better

St. Juste forced back to back incompletions late in the game that forced NY to punt. One on Golladay and the other on Slayton. Nice and encouraging bounce back from the rook.

But it's why it's so important for me to re-watch (and re-watch and re-watch). Don't like sticking with original assumption just because it's what I thought I saw...

Had some coverage hiccups. wasn't alone.
— John Keim (@john_keim) September 18, 2021

I think at times but the problem is the breakdowns/issues have been there in both games. So need to see more consistent disciplined play. Some on youth not only some.

Not sure what Miami was seeing, but Ereck Flowers is returning to 2019 form. Specifically in the run game. That’s a pretty good player to basically have for free.

We got Ereck Flowers back for a bag of potato chips

Had a few of you asking about what happened on the missed TD to Slayton. Giants had a perfect call for Washington’s coverage. Washington playing quarter, quarter, half, Giants call Mills/Pin. Slot breaks inside beyond 10 yards which forces safety to attach, leaves post open. pic.twitter.com/Lw5ETXpZpq

Gibson was also penalized for a facemask on that play. He was not fined though.

Eagles’ DE Josh Sweat, who was scheduled to be a free agent after this season, reached agreement on a three-year, $40 million contract extension that could be worth up to $43 million and includes $26.9 million gtd, tying him to Philadelphia through the 2024 season, per sources.

As recently as 2006, NFL teams averaged more punting yards per game than passing yards. That is obviously no longer anywhere near the case.

Here's the average passing (in blue) and punting (orange) yards/game in each year since 1950. pic.twitter.com/NuKV8LQeN7

Updated the 2022 salary cap tables for early cap carryover estimates. Dolphins, Broncos. Jaguars Chargers, and Jets look to have the most space. Giants, Vikings, Cowboys, Packers, and Saints all look to be over. https://t.co/JdRg7AJ5FG

This is bonkers and maybe incredibly super heads up by the Memphis dude but also seems BS if I'm the kicking team that attempted to downed the ball. Wild.pic.twitter.com/BNeyV53Q3n
