He doesn't get those targets because he's not open enough and not good enough to warrant them. He's a number 2 receiver at best. At least for now. He might improve, we managed to do that with other receivers before. But as of right now, he's just not all that. He completely faded away for the last stretch of the season.

Yea I mentioned to roadtrip earlier, I can’t be mad, massively outperformed expectations this season and did so whilst carrying the biggest dead cap hit.
Hopefully we can renew some key FA’s and add some talent in skill positions to help Nix next year.
I agree with you, I just can't understand his usage from mid season onwards.
He was incredible early on in the season.
Thanks, I actually grew up a Broncos fan (had season tickets from 1996-2001) but also support the Commanders now that I live in Maryland (my parents actually used to have season tickets to the Commanders).
It's a pity that one of the teams in the late game last night had to go out. Much more entertaining than a lot of the other games.
The Baker redemption arc was good but it's great that the Commanders got through. I see a lot of comments on the recap video about how every success now just emphasises what a blight Snyder was

There goes my superbowl prediction
Amazing story
McCarthy is out in Dallas.
I hope the circus that would be Deon in the Big D with Jerry actually materializes. We’re owed some entertainment.

This video means that FECK YOU SPANOS is imminent.
Jerreh did something right for one. Big Mike gone.
There's no denying CJ Stroud is a good dude but this "I'm so grateful and amazed that The Lord has uplifted this team" crap is hard to listen to.
I’m still yet to be convinced that Jordan Love is elite. I personally feel he is massively over hyped. He may just scrape into the top 10 QBs in the league, but he is some way off the best QBs in the league as stands.
Is there anyone who actually puts him there though? He’s still miles off the likes of Lamar Burrow Allen etc.
Fringe top 10 seems generous but I guess you could make a case for it.
Its only his 2nd full season though. some players can take a while to get going fully. Concerns are valid though.
The way some talk about him, you’d think he was fully legit. That’s the impression I get anyway.
Oh for sure. By no means writing him off or anything. As I said above to Robin, I just get a sense the way many pundits talk about him, he’s amazing but I personally just don’t see it at all.
Just the Chiefs OC throwing a dime to our GM in college.
New series just started on BBC3… “Tom Brady, man in the arena”. 10 parter.
Nix suffered three traverse fractures in his back in the first half of the Raiders game in week 12, and has been playing through the pain since, not missing a single snap.
I feel bad for ever doubting this guy.

Nah, they had the #1 NFC seed the following year. What they haven't recovered from is dismissing Jimmy and later Parcells who had righted the sinking ship and dysfunction within. But that year with the top seed they lost to the Giants at home thanks to a two critical drops by Crayton and a TD drop by Bennett in the end zone. Too many mistakes when it was really setup for them to host Green Bay for the NFCCG and possibly a game with New England, who probably would have beat Dallas a second time that year*, however, Wade Phillips was pretty good at game-planning for second/third in-season meetings.

48-27 in Dallas in week 6, granted that scoreline is a bit deceiving - it was 31-24 going into the fourth quarter - and 38-27 with 10:03 remaining. New England kicked a late field goal then Romo was picked inside Dallas 20 trying to do something from nothing. And what was normal that year in the BRT season (Belicunt Revenge Tour) was NE playing first team offense in the red zone with under 3:00 remaining and a 1-yd score with 0:19 left in a game already with a 41-27 margin.

Heard this morning the average age is 25.6 for Green Bay, definitely a young squad. Then I remembered the 92 Cowboys average age was 25.5 and they won it all, the next year was slightly older, around 26 average. Having a great defense certainly helps.
This is an excellent point. And the worrisome bit is any decent QB, or one of those "almost elite" or "potentially elite" gets a massive contract at some point which then limits cap movement. It's a vicious cycle and clubs just aren't figuring it out, most of them that is.
Let's hope we don't get some nonsense controversy tonight like the last time these teams met. Even if you're not sure it was a facemask it certainly looks borderline horse-collarish to a point I'd expect a flag thrown for one or the other. But the head swivel alone should have a ref thinking that's not right/doesn't look normal. And seeing how it's a scoring play I'm surprised it can't be reversed for a clear infraction, though I know penalties can't be called on replay but one would think the league should grant powers to "fix" something so egregious. Like replay the down or be permitted to recall a penalty on an act that could be determined player safety related, like twisting one's neck.
I want the Rams to win. Rams Eagles will be a fecking quality game.
Didn't the Eagles stomp them back in November, right around the time LA had been winning games to get back to .500 range?
Sure did. Saquon ran wild for 255 yards
And then they won 5 in a row. They look way better.
I hope whoever wins tonight will at least put up a good match at Philly. The Philly team that showed up yesterday would be vulnerable but things can change in a week.
True but it's still a matchup issue. Totally depends if the Rams match well against Philly or if the birds just have the massive advantage regardless.
Whosaaaa
Wow, commentators cursing them there nothing has slowed this rams offense down... Then that.
nothing has slowed this rams offense down... Then that.Boooo
Wow the QB can do that? That's absolute cock.
How's that an incomplete pass? He knew he was gonna fumble it so basically just dropped it. NFL has some proper stupid rules.

Philly are a complete team defensively. I don't think it really takes a great DB group to stop their passing game and it's more on what Jalen Hurts turns up. The best matchup is whoever can score points.
Ps @MrMarcello I hold your opinion in the highest regard because of this:
The first mention of Mahomes on this forum.

Darnold and the Vikings shitting the bed so far.
That's the Darnold we grew up with!
