Washington Football Podcast

Today we start the show with the Commanders' move up ESPN's power rankings and their updated playoff chances. Then, with their playoff chances and upcoming schedule in mind we talk briefly about an updated trade deadline strategy. We wrap up the show with the news that Daron Payne, Javon Kinlaw, and Jeremy McNichols were added to the IR and Robert Henry Jr was resigned.

Whether it was post bye rust, a lack of focus or just a reflection of who this team is, the Commanders came out of the bye doing the same things they were doing two weeks ago. Early mistakes put the team in a hole that they were able to climb out of, but will they ever shake the sloppiness? In this episode we talk about the issues, give credit where it's due, and update you on the injuries Jayden Daniels and Jeremy McNichols.

Few things have gone right for Washington this season and that continued over the bye as many of the AFC vs. NFC matchups in week 7 were won by conference rivals. That puts Washington another step behind but leaves their playoff chances in tact with the NFC East struggling. Then, we heard from Dan Quinn on injuries, covering for the loss of McLaurin, and offensive line changes and we look ahead to the Eagles and the Commander's upcoming primetime games.

Today on the show we look ahead to the things we'd like to see in the Commanders 11 remaining games. We wish for continued health and success for some young team leaders, the smallest of winning streaks, and a trade deadline strategy. To close the show, we consider the unthinkable... a 4th year for Dan Quinn.

We start the show by discussing what (if anything) the Terry McLaurin injury changes about the Commanders' future prospects at WR. Then we throw out an potential option for a WR of the future if Washington is willing to strike a deal with a division rival. We find ourselves in the familiar place of talking job security by wondering if Adam Peters is safe for now and reviewing Dan Quinn's fatal flaw.

As many feared after a non-contact injury on Monday Night, we got news this afternoon that Terry McLaurin will be out for the remainder of the 2026 season. With McLaurin's future in Washington in question we take a quick look at what he has meant to this franchise over a tumultuous 8 years. Then we talk about what (if any) credit the team deserves for giving themselves a chance against the 49ers, and the empty promises we've received over the last couple seasons.

In this episode we do our best to turn the page on what happened on Sunday. Instead, we look back at where the Commanders were this time last year and some things that Dan Quinn said in July that paint a picture of a team that wouldn't find themselves in this place at this point. Then we talk through how a tie could end up hurting extra bad at the end of the season, a coach who survived a scenario not too dissimilar from Dan Quinn's, and a couple smaller pieces of team news.

After an all time clock management blunder it seems fair to suggest that Dan Quinn might not complete a full third season in Washington. Is it possible that Josh Harris and Adam Peters make a move if things don't change quickly, and if so, is anyone on the staff capable of coaching the team? We also talk about a secondary that continues to struggle and a tie being better than a loss even if it doesn't feel that way today.

The Commanders continue to lose players to injuries and the waiver wire but they'll also get some big names back on Sunday. We talk through the loss of Kaytron Allen, what it means for the future of Washington's RB room, and the return of Jayden Daniels and Sam Cosmi. They've also got the division leading Giants coming to town this weekend. With the NFC East staying close (for now) early this season both teams are seeing opportunity in a huge division matchup. We go through the injuries on both sides, comments from the head coaches, and thoughts on how the weather might impact this game.

The Commanders are again multiple games below .500 with big games ahead, but the current state of the NFC and the NFL as a whole give them an opportunity to overcome their slow start. We share a quote from Warren Sharp on the level of mediocrity on display so far this season, and discuss the second chance that gives Washington. Then we update you on what Dan Quinn had to say about some of his struggling players, and the good and bad news from today's injury report.
