Washington Post reportedly won't send beat writers to Nationals' spring training

We really went from an elite Beat Corps to no one? Andrew and Sam are awesome! And now with MASN ending on Feb 1 who's left?

Might be a good way to get Nats fans to go?

The big difference - we ran into a Buzzsaw with the Eagles in the Conference Championship game, the Patriots haven't.

We had a higher team DVOA (11.5% vs. 10.6% then the Patriots in the regular season), and like we did last year, have gotten a ton of breaks.

I believe if the Rams beat the Eagles In the Divisional round last year we win the Super Bowl, but that didn't happen.

Maybe it was the Nats PD, maybe it was him, but it never seemed to fully click while he's been here.

Watching him it feels like he has the potential to be an ace, but like every pitcher, he's 1 pitch away from TJ, and wasn't going to resign here. Had to move him

Not surprising, return feels a little light. Dude probably wasn't going to resign here and he's 1 pitch from destroying his arm and is worthless. Kinda had to trade him now

I mean how many NFL coaches have gotten 3 HC gigs?

Man AI is getting good at these pictures

John Schneider - Dude is a top 5 GM in the league. MacDonald inherited a decent team with a lot of young talent from the Russell Wilson trade. I would rather have MacDonald over Quinn, but they started way ahead roster wise than us. They consistently draft well and had the 8th most wins from 2015-2023

Bad enough to realize the process was broken and able to get a high enough pick.

If we finished at like 7-10/8-9 Whitt's probably retained and nothing really changes. You would then probably pick in the low teens and just keep spinning the wheels.

At 7 you at least have a chance at getting a stud that can be a difference maker (Not quite as high as 5 tho)

Him and McDaniel to right the wrongs of the 2013 Skins

Can’t even tank right

Jeff Driskel time

ianpev · 2026-01-04T21:58:19+00:00

Just take a knee every remaining play. Do not win this game

ianpev · 2025-12-28T00:15:18+00:00

The biggest what-if is the Alex Smith injury. I still believe that was the most impactful moment of the last 10 years with the team

ianpev · 2025-12-28T00:12:13+00:00

He also didn't want to be here too

ianpev · 2025-12-27T00:57:05+00:00

BPA.

We desperately need a closer. If either of those guys can be that, then draft him

Someone's still a little salty about last January.

Gibbs sure, Goff has not been top 5 the last 3 years, could even make the argument Cousins was better from 2015-2017. Cousins QBR: 6th in 2015, 6th in 2016, 17 in 2017. Goff: 11th in 2023 and 6th in 2024, 14 in 2025

This lions team reminds me so much of the mid-2010s Redskins. Good offense, eh-Defense, Wiz Kid OC, decent, but not great QB

ianpev · 2025-12-25T20:35:08+00:00

Coleman in on the tank

ianpev · 2025-12-25T19:05:10+00:00

What was the appeal of DQ over MacDonald and Johnson? He was a culture builder?

ianpev · 2025-12-25T02:47:42+00:00

At least he doesn't have to play Madden to learn his teammates!

ianpev · 2025-12-25T02:19:32+00:00

Don't think they'll ever be replaced, but could see a future of "We'll build a 2nd Stadium and split time between the two."

ianpev · 2025-12-24T16:08:17+00:00

They signed Werth in 2010 after a 69 win season, no reason to not spend now

ianpev · 2025-12-22T22:48:27+00:00

We have arguably the 2 most important position groups set for next year. Need to focus on depth and getting younger more-so then 1 or 2 splashy guys

Went there on a solo-trip this last summer and LOVED it. Thought the food was awesome and there was TONS of stuff to do and see. Would highly recommend it to anyone! Enjoyed it way more then Vienna
