r/Commanders

makes it feel slightly better

When JD5 and Terry and Nick Cross and Cosmi come back, I STILL have no faith that we can compete with the better teams on our schedule (LAR, PHI, DAL, CIN, JAX)….

Something about DQ teams. Unless we’re getting lucky (Hail Mary, Jameson Williams throwing interceptions on double reverses) it just seems like DQ can never get this team properly ready to compete for a full 60 minutes.

Once in a while he has the Seattle game. But more often than not it’s what we saw today or versus Dallas in week 2.

Just depressing AF man

Had officials penalized the Colts on that deep pass attempt to Dyami Brown, it would have put Washington in position to try for a score. But nothing more than that. Not after the Commanders lost their starting quarterback to a dislocated elbow two weeks ago, not after they lost their backup quarterback in the first quarter on Sunday and not after they committed myriad penalties during the previous 50 minutes of play.

Yet Quinn fumed. Fumed. More than he ever has in a game with the Commanders, who fell to the Colts 30-13 and watched their record slip to 1-3.

The Commanders rode a wave of optimism after their Week 3 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Once 0-2, the team was in position to hit .500, a significant feat that would have kept it in control of its season.

Instead, the Commanders turned in a dud, with more flags and injuries than points scored.

It's easy to say that we're ass, ya know, considering we're 1-3, but even coming out the gate we were hurt, no tunsil, no amos, no newton. We played close against what's looking to be a bad eagles team. We looked pretty good in the first half vs Dallas and then you know, *the incident. and then we beat the Superbowl Champs? Then today our offense was humming with mariota before ya know, *the incident. We woulda been tied with the colts going into the 4th if it wasn't for an llegal shift. and might I mention the colts only drove the length of the field for a td once? I wouldn't be suprised if we get some players back and start stacking some games, however I also wouldn't be suprised if we never win a game for the rest of the season. I'm so confused by this team

I have been a Washington fan since I watched them lose to the Raiders when Marcus Allen went nuts. 38-9 score or something terrible like that.

I was in school and watched the Franchise win 3 Super Bowls under Joe Gibbs...

I watched Dan Snyder take one of the premier franchises in the NFL and turn them into a joke...

I believed RG3 was the second coming of Steve Young until the Seattle game effectively ended his career.

Now..Jayden Daniels...a better owner...the Commanders...a new Stadium soon.

Despite the injury concerns Jayden is eventually going to be a very good if not great QB. Sonny is going to be Urlacher 2.0 and getting another top half of the draft 1st round pick is going to be a key piece to this Puzzle.

I have seen the worst of times in this franchise...this ain't it.

I just did some brief, half-assed research on this, but i think it's true. With 10 penalties accepted (13 total flags thrown) against us for 84 yards, and just one penalty for 5 yards against the Colts, I think our game today was one of the biggest penalty discrepancies ever.

The biggest penalty discrepancy (yardage wise) in NFL history was back in 2017, Eagles-Panthers. Philly had 10 penalties for 126 yards, Carolina had 1 penalty for 1 yard. The delta between penalty yards for philly in 2017 and us today is 44 yards.

Now, I'm not sure how many TOTAL FLAGS were thrown against Philly that game (vs penalties accepted), so it's possible that, if the Panthers declined less than 3 penalties against the eagles in 2017, our 13 flags thrown vs indy's 1 could be the biggest total penalties called discrepancy in NFL history.
