The Washington Commanders’ season has gone downhill quickly, but there’s still a lot of season left, and a tough schedule ahead.

The team has been riddled with injuries and is coming off an embarrassing loss at home to the Seattle Seahawks. We don’t know when quarterback Jayden Daniels will be back, or if they will shut him down for the season after dislocating his elbow. The team still has a lot to play for, and that’s pride.

We need to see some life from this team to have any hope for the future, and the younger players on the roster need more playing time, so we can see what the roster actually looks like heading into the offseason. Unfortunately, that’s where a lot of people are right now, including myself. The playoffs are almost impossible at this point, so I’m focusing on the big picture until the season ends.

The Lions vs Commanders game was flexed out of the Game of the Week selection, which now belongs to the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers.

Commanders’ defense needs to improve

Head coach Dan Quinn said that defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. is moving down to the field during games to see if it fixes anything with the struggling defense. The truth is, though, that nothing will change until real changes are made. Players like Frankie Luvu, Quan Martin, and Mike Sainristil need to show more with the remaining games this season. The Commanders need to play Sainristil back on the outside for the remainder of the season with Marshon Lattimore out with an injury.
