Slave to the truth.

@Commanders So close.

@JPFinlayNBCS I don’t think the spot is part of the automatic review? He should’ve challenged the spot.

@cyclonus I know what you mean. But it was pretty great.

With every coming loss my interests will slide away from scheme and strategy, and more toward big-picture. Declining vets become irrelevant. Which coaches gotta go? How do you reboot the rebuild? From the moment a current season becomes futile, the future is all that matters.

@stockxsucks Fair.

[Burgundy Blog @BurgundyBlog]

We all know where the season is headed. Maybe they'll mess around and flirt with contention but they're not contenders. Defense will never put two good halves together against a decent opponent. More demoralizing losses coming. It does affect my interests, and interest level.

@Boss_Hogg_81 The gradient uniforms are so brutal.

[Burgundy Blog @BurgundyBlog]

Also, if the season deteriorates further from disappointing to downright embarrassing, you are going to be encountering A LOT more bitching online and on the radio about "Commanders" than you did in 2024. The wound will rip open.

@RedMazvello I'm trading every vet I can.

[Burgundy Blog @BurgundyBlog]

@JentzenG Fair. I think they thought they were doing both -- rejacking with vets for a deep run, and also bolstering young core though draft. Problem is, the draft picks are mostly low-impact.

[Burgundy Blog @BurgundyBlog]

@ImportantJuan I mostly agree, but it's not like we would erase the memory of last year if we could. It was awesome. So the FO felt close enough to shoot their shot and try to run it back. I kinda get it. Just didn't work. Now you almost have to start over. But at least, with 5.

[Burgundy Blog @BurgundyBlog]

@BirdmanHarvey @AlGaldi Totally agree. It's worse than clunky. It's clunky and dumb.

[Burgundy Blog @BurgundyBlog]

@AlGaldi Glad you did a segment on the subtle but very interesting name/branding developments. Harris really spelled it out with, "A commander is a leader of warriors." And how about the stealth, midseason branding campaign relaunch!

@Russellmania621 He is imperturbable.

[Burgundy Blog @BurgundyBlog]

Skins are different this year. But I’ll tell you who’s the same. Mustache Man.

[Burgundy Blog @BurgundyBlog]

We suck again.

[Burgundy Blog @BurgundyBlog]

@dcsportsbog Indeed.

[Burgundy Blog @BurgundyBlog]

First half was weird and Skins were playing hard has hell so we had a game. Second half, everyone found their level.

At least somebody’s having fun tonight.
