    Worthy made that way harder than it needed to be,  more worried about the TD than catching the ball.

    He's not a smart player.  He just didn't know where he was on the field.  Not a great ball but definitely good enough to get the TD.

    This aged well

    Did it?  Bland is having a fantastic run and deserves all the attention and accolades he's getting right now.  His closing speed and ball skills are at the elite level, so I get the comment.  And taking one back with 3-4 minutes to go up 4 TDs isn't super impactful to the game, but it's still an extraordinary achievement.  

    All of that written, yesterday wasn't his best day.  9 catches on 12 targets vs Bland yesterday, 5 for first downs.  The defense bowed up and made some plays in the 2nd half, including the pick six but for much of the game the Commanders pretty much moved the ball at will.  Again, as bad clubs usually do, Washington found a way to shoot themselves in the proverbial feet, mainly by not being able to functionally pick up a yard (more about having shitty play calls for those 2 4th downs).  If they could have, this would have been a last 5 minute type of game.  Back to Bland, all the metrics show he's a good corner, but not super sticky and can be thrown on.  Obviously, risk vs reward for those QBs because of those elite ball skills he's shown.  A lot like Diggs a couple of years ago.

    We finally get out of playing the shitastic part of our schedule.  I'm interested in how the defense holds up against the Philly, Buffalo's and Miami's of the league.

    This is why you punt the ball and make a team drive the field against a good defense. It’s really fucking hard. 

    They had made the decision after 2nd down, hence going deep on 3rd.  Defense lucks out a little.  Offense, let's not waste the field position....
