Ref the District

Play action bomb to Terry McLaurin? Antonio Gibson to the house on a screen? Another BIG day for the defensive line? Ref the District gives out their BOLD predictions for when the Washington Commanders face off against the Buffalo Bills.

The Washington Commanders erased an 18 point deficit to win in Denver. Can they manage to put a full game together to beat the Buffalo Bills? Ref the District talks about how they think the game will go and whether or not 3-0 is in the team's future.

Washington Commanders front line has been strong for a while now with Allen, Payne and Sweat. Just how good can they be with a healthy Chase Young? Nickname worthy Ref the District thinks.

The Washington Commanders defensive line of Chase Young, Daron Payne, Jon Allen and Montez Sweat combined for 4 sacks against the Denver Broncos.  Should these 4 first round draft picks have a nickname?

The Commanders moved from #20 to #15 in the Pro Football Talk Power rankings.  Is this still too low or is this right where they should be?

And we look at the PFF grades for every starter and how they stack up against the rest of the NFL.

All of that and more as it’s time to start focusing on Week 3 and the Buffalo Bills.

The Denver Broncos jumped out to an early 21-3 lead on Washington about 5 minutes into the 2nd quarter.  Denver was dominating both sides of the ball.  However, Commanders LB Jamin Davis stripped Russell Wilson that Cody Barton recovered and began a 32-3 run by Washington for a 35-24 lead.

Denver was not done.  They scored a FG and touchdown on their last 2 posessions, the later being a Hail Mary as time expired.  However, Commanders cornerback Benjamin St. Juste knocked away a potential 2 point conversion pass from Russell Wilson to preserve the victory.

We break down the entire game to include a film session on the 7 screen passes from Washington, Go-Go’s and No-Go’s and final thoughts before we turn our attention to the Buffalo Bills.  It’s a Day After Reckoning on Ref The District.  Let’s gooooooo!

The Denver Broncos started fast and led 21-3 after their first 3 drives and it looked bleak for the Commanders.  However, Washington came back to outscore Denver 32-3 and midway through the 4th quarter led 35-24.

Denver desperately tried to get back in the game by scoring 9 straight points. A Hail Mary as time expired got Denver within 2 but Washington stopped the Broncos on a 2 point attempt with no time left to win in Denver for the first time since 2001.

Patrick Chiotti and former Broncos DB Chris Harris, Jr join the show to talk about what they fear from the Commanders and what the Commanders should fear from the Broncos.

Head Coach Ron Rivera said Chase Young may be on a snap count but they will see how it progresses throughout the game but Young has been cleared to play for the first time this year.  What should we expect?

Curtis Samuel was limited in practice but should be good to go for Sunday however rookie Safety/Cornerback Quan Martin is out with a concussion.

We talk all about that with Cakes from The Junkies on the Daily Commanders Update for 15 September, 2023.  Let’s gooooooooo!

Big news coming from Ashburn as Chase Young is a full participant in practice. It's a welcome change for the player and team. Montez Sweat's off season conditioning paid off in week 1. He'll hope to ride this wave into another contract. Sam Howell could be the first QB to score both a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in his first three games. Will the young playmaker be able to achieve that?
