The Warm Up - The Washington Commanders sit at 4-6 and all seems lost with the schedule ahead. However, they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. Should the Commanders push forward and try to sneak into the playoffs? Or should they start the dreaded "evaluation" stage of the season and plan for next year?

It’s hard to believe there are still doubters about Sam Howell and if he is the quarterback of the future. But there are so Stoner is here to give you all the answers whether you use old school stats, PFF stats or Next Gen Stats.  All of them say Sam Howell is the answer.

The defense has been historically bad.  We throw a few stats to show just how bad it’s been and how bad it was specifically against the Seahawks.

And what’s going on with Cam Cheeseman?  He’s not been that noticeable because Tress Way keeps bailing out his bad snaps.  When do we start talking about Cheese?

All of that and so much more on your 14 November Daily Commanders Update.  Let’s gooooooo!

It’s year 4.  Why is Ron Rivera still in charge?  He’s shown he’s not a winning head coach. Why is Jack Del Rio in charge of a defense that is bottom 3 in every single defensive stat and metric?

The lone bright spot for the Commanders has been the play of QB Sam Howell.  Is his development why the coaches have not been fired?  Is it time to stop talking about Howell as a potential franchise QB and just go ahead and anoint him?

We have your Go-Go’s and No-Go’s as well and so much more on the Day After Reckoning.  Let’s goooooo!

The Washington Commanders led or were tied for most of the game in this important matchup of Wild Card hopeful teams.  However, Washington could not stop Seattle when it mattered as Geno Smith kept throwing to DK Metcalf in the 4th quarter to help them win.

Sam Howell was once again a straight beast but couldn’t overcome a Jack Del Rio led defense and gave up almost 500 yards and another 29 points.

It’s Groundhog Day in Washington.

Sam Howell had his 2nd consecutive good game, this time in New England as he passed for 400+ yards for the 2nd straight week.  It seems to have rejuvenated head coach Ron Rivera as he’s been seen with a little more pep in his step.

On the flip side, the Seahawks are coming back home after traveling out to the East Coast and getting whipped 37-3 to the Baltimore Ravens.  Gino Smith has struggled the last 4 games and the offense as a whole hasn’t been able to get untracked.

Will the Commanders be able to continue with their torrid offense?  Will the Seahawks continue to struggle with their offense?

Former USC & Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu who is the co-host of the Take12 podcast joins us to talk all about it on our Game Preview of Commanders vs Seahawks.

Some pundits are saying Sam Howell should be considered for first half MVP.  While that may be a little aggressive, Howell has put together 2 consecutive great games and is showing signs he may be the QB of the future.

We look over today’s injury report in regards to WR Curtis Samuel and also CB Emmanuel Forbes.  We also wonder if DK Metcalf, who is dealing with a hip injury, will play Sunday and Lumen Field.

All of that and more on the Daily Commanders Update for 10 November.  Let’s goooooo!

Curtis Samuel is back at practice. Sam Howell might just save Ron Rivera's job. Jack Del Rio has the key to improving this defense and stopping Geno Smith. Will he use it? That and more on your 9 November Daily Commanders Update!
