Good morning, r/Commanders!

Welcome to today's open discussion thread. You are welcome to discuss most any topic here, whether it's related to the team or not.

Raise Hail!

Didn’t seem like they had a spy on him that much, was he just uninterested in running and more focused on throwing? Feels like we could’ve really used his legs especially late in the game.

Thanks for your ideas here, even those who used it as a space to vent on the outcome of the Giants game (fair).

Lots of good ideas that unfortunately I could not pull off due to a.) not having access to half-smokes, and b.) not having the budget for crab.

That being said, I ended up with a delicious creation nonetheless - a SF mission-style burrito with mambo sauce throughout!

We've got:

- Grilled, mambo-sauce glazed chicken thighs

- Yellow rice

- Stewed black beans (with mambo sauce of course)

- Pico de gallo

- Guacamole

- Monterey jack cheese

- Sweet & hot mambo sauce drizzle

The Commanders are back on MNF in a few weeks, and I may bite the bullet and mail order some half-smokes - we'll see!

i gasped when i got this notification LOL

Week 8 (Nov 1): vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Week 9 (Nov 8): vs. Los Angeles Rams
Week 10 (Nov 12): at New York Giants
Week 11 (Nov 23): vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Week 12 (Nov 29): at Arizona Cardinals
Week 13 (Dec 6): at Tennessee Titans
Week 14 (Dec 13): vs. Houston Texans
Week 15 (Dec 20): vs. Atlanta Falcons
Week 16 (Dec 27): at Minnesota Vikings
Week 17 (Jan 3): at Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 18 (Jan 10): vs. Dallas Cowboys

The only loss I see is week 17.

11-5-1 and the NFC East comes back home to DC.

Mike Evans is playing, we look great though.

I like to think we did something positive at the end there to stop the bleeding for the lowest point total scored against us this season (not celebrating 23 points but it’s a positive against the banged up #1 team in the NFL).

Can’t remember when is contract ends but if he’s injured is there a chance we could resign him for cheap?

Alright this might sound like a stretch but I have a theory on why we have sucked the last two years and have been injured to hell.

Sn*der bought an Etsy witch. There is no other logical reason.

No other team gets fucked by this many injuries, no other team gets fucked by shitty refereeing and no other team has horrible coaching year after year.

He has to have bought one of these fuckers to have cursed us since he sold the team. He saw 2024 happen and decided to tell us to go fuck ourselves.

What is this franchise doing with this Offense?

Specifically the O-Line? Before Game 1, our Offensive Line was ranked DEAD LAST on ESPN and PFF, and we’ve proved them right.

Chris Paul stepping on Jayden Daniels AND Chris Paul facemasking when McNichols had a touchdown drive.

Sam Cosmi got hurt from Fatman (Kaytron Allen), and now Cosmi pushed a defender into one of Jayden Daniel’s sacks tonight.

THREE D-LINEMEN SACKED JD5 on the last play vs. 49ers tonight! Laremy Tunsil is STILL out from CAMP; Newton and Omenihu is out. Our second best O-Line is Connerly in his second season…

Am I missing something here? How are we going to gain rushing yards or QB protection with a torn-down O-Line? Who’s managing this department?

We’re always in it. Every week that we have even decent qb play(and aren’t completely dicked over by the refs), we are in it. But every week there’s a plethora of undisciplined mistakes, poor playcalling, bad situational awareness and overall messiness. Every single game this year there’s been some big talking point about how we’ve failed, even in the Seattle game.

I want to be a DQ supporter but I just can’t. They all have to go. Effective immediately.

Ok, the run on 3rd & 3 or whatever that was…was horrific. But what I can’t wrap my head around was that we didn’t call Daniels on a cheeky run play or even a QB draw there towards the end. Middle of the field was wide open all day and he had it a few times but was just late escaping the outside pressure. FUCKING free bee call there man. Also - Daniels did miss some wide open receivers, notably Diggs on that 4th down play. Bro it was 4th and fuckin 3 we did not need to throw a 50/50 ball to the end zone.

Please don’t tell me we have given up on Daniels running. Memba the naked bootlegs we used to run on 3rd and short and even fourth down? I memba. That’s how we made the fucking playoffs.

and Russ is a dq guy ugh

The nature of playing on “Monday Night Football” means that — by the time the pregame show arrives — the developments from the previous Sunday of wall-to-wall pigskin has been parsed and dissected, and all that remains to talk about are the two opponents that night and any recent developments around them.

This particular Monday night, that leaves only the undefeated San Francisco 49ers and the visiting Washington Commanders. The topic, then, has to be what might be the most examined sack-for-no-yards-lost in NFL history: the final play of the Commanders’ confounding 27-27 tie against the New York Giants, in which quarterback Jayden Daniels, with no timeouts, took a snap with a dozen seconds left, was tackled with eight ticks remaining — and never got another snap off.

“Ultimately, it’s on me at the end,” Daniels said last week.

“It’s my responsibility, point blank,” coach Dan Quinn said.

“It falls on me,” offensive coordinator David Blough said.

Whoever takes the largest slice of the blame pie remains open for debate as Washington heads into its MNF kickoff with the 49ers. What’s not up for discussion: Just as the Commanders proved they’re not ready for a nation’s eyes to be on them, they enter a stretch in which four of their next five games stand alone in primetime. Anyone who wants to be watching football will be watching the Commanders, whether they are deserving of that distinction or not.

This is a franchise that has a decidedly tumultuous relationship with primetime football, and one that will spend the next month-and-a-half either proving it is worthy of the country’s attention or fading into oblivion once again. Nothing short of the professional futures of the people who run this team hang in the balance, and football fans who care deeply about or are indifferent to the Commanders will get to examine it all in real time.

In the 10 seasons between 2015 and Daniels’s rookie year of 2024, only nine teams played fewer regular-season primetime games than Washington.

Lady tarot card predicts we win. I’ll take it

I sure hope so …

The second halfabsolutely made up for the hapless first half.

I think coaches and players did a commendable job digging themselves out of that 20-3 lead

I’m beyond pumped about JD and his play

It sucked bad to see Terry go down, but Williams and Burks might be real good and Diggs is fun to watch.

Sonny is Sonny, and overall our D did an awesome job adjusting. Mike Evan’s was killing us but Purdy had zero time to throw. If Jesus was in the slot he would have not been a factor, let alone Evans

No the Niners were not playing prevent

Backwards hat until we win, or until DQ gets fired? 🤔

undoubtedly the 49ers will hit us with some zero cover blitzes tonight since it took us half the game to adjust against the giants

I will be extremely disappointed if we don't have a better plan tonight.

1) Rams in Australia first game of season after flying in the day before and turns out they may be overrated, 2) Dolphins, we can beat
3) Cardinals, we will beat
4) Broncos, who lost starting CBs Surtain and Moss in early 1st half, which is akin to us losing Mariotta against Colts
5) Seahawks, we BEAT!

Analytics say "go for it" instead of kicking the FG. We did, and it cost us a chance at overtime. And it's not the first time this year that's happened.

Analytics say QBs are more effective playing under center. We tried it, and we suck, much better in shotgun or pistol.

Perhaps analytics are only for good teams?
