How do you not suspect the fake punt there??? WFT needed to flip the momentum and a punt wasn’t going to do it. Punt safe all the way.

Commanders kick a 46-yard FG to make it 14-6, Birds, with 14:42 left in the 2nd qtr.

Commanders are playing playground ball….the Eagles defense better be ready for anything. Washington obviously can’t beat them straight up, so they’re going to have to trick their way to a win.

It almost felt like a fake was coming when they took so long to snap the ball.
The Commanders need to score every time they have the ball. Period, end of discussion. Punting while behind 14-3 is a recipe for defeat against this Eagles team.

The Eagles pass D is really lacking today. Too often the defender is just running with the receiver but in no position to actually knock the ball down or intercept. They have no play on the ball and are also out of position to make any tackle. The receiver catches the ball and someone else has to come up to make the tackle. Add some poor tackling and we’ve got a new game. 14-12.

They went for it on fourth down twice and ran a fake punt….all “stupid” decisions except they made them.
Are you saying that because they made 3 they are any more likely to make the 4th? I think statistically they wouldn’t make it.
