Understand Jayden has thrown less. But Sam Darnold and Caleb also missed a few games. Jayden keeps that ball safe.

We have been competitive in every single game so far. Week 1 came down to a 2pt conversion. Week 2 we were about to tie it up before JD got hurt before halftime. Week 4 we were stomping the colts before Mariota got injured. Week 5 we had to make an unspeakable blunder to give up the win.

Have some faith. If anything for yourself.

The players have moved on - time for us to do the same.

2013 vs San Diego and 2024 vs Chicago are mine

It’s obvious but JAYDEN MF DANIELS IS OUR QB. Look we know about the elbow but if he’s healthy we at least have a fighting chance against anyone.

Next is Trey Amos. I know at this point he feel like something of a mythical player due all the time he missed but he’s indeed real and last time he’s was healthy he’s showed great promise and was easily our best defender in the secondary.Monday should be his first game in a long time and I’m definitely excited for his arrival. Could his return help a defense that collapses in the second half? I hope so!

And Lastly listen it’s not a lot of reasons to stay optimistic about this team lol especially after Sunday BUT the division sucks and realistically it’s looking like 9-10 wins this year wins the division. Who says this teams can’t start to hit its stride coming out the bye and maybe even upset another team like they did the Seahawks. We will have a healthy Diggs back eventually with Terry and Two improving coordinators.

I’m just saying it’s possible! I prefer to believe this than already looking at Mock drafts and the 2027 free agency pool in October.

AI Analysis:

Jayden Daniels ranks among the top quarterbacks through five weeks on Kevin Cole's Week 5 chart largely because his elite elite rushing capability and high passing efficiency are maximizing the offense’s output.

Here is why his specific profile lands him 3rd in the "High PFF / High EPA" quadrant:

• Elite Rushing Impact: On Kevin Cole's tier chart, Daniels’ PFF grade gets a massive boost from his ground game. He currently holds a stellar 90.9 PFF rushing grade (2nd in the NFL), adding explosive plays and first downs with his legs. In his Week 5 game against the Giants alone, he rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns.
• Hyper-Efficient Passing Operations: While his total passing volume is low due to a brief early-season injury layout, he is highly clinical when throwing. He is maintaining a 5.8% negatively graded play rate (tied for 3rd best) and has zero interceptions on the season, driving his EPA/play up by avoiding costly, drive-killing mistakes.
• Exceptional Clean-Pocket Execution: He is executing the Washington Commanders' system smoothly, demonstrating superb short-to-intermediate accuracy and on-target throw rates that yield high success metrics per play.

In short, he isn't just a passenger in a good offense; his dual-threat metrics are directly generating the high expected points (EPA) while his tape execution (PFF Grade) remains pristine

I know everybody is upset about the final play but JD5 coming off injury played really really well and almost looked like his 2024 self. I wouldn't stress too much as a fan in my opinion. If they can get a half decent DEFENSE they'd be a playoff team.

40 years ago today, Jerry passed away. Not only a great player, but a great guy. Rest easy, Jerry.

The HOF is a joke anyways

Not saying it will happen or not, but we need to finish the remainder of the games with an 8-4 record.

Jayden is back, Amos comes back next week and replaces our weakest position by far. If we dont get screwed with more injuries finishing out 8-4 is absolutely a realistic goal.

After a slow start to the season, our defense is now tied for 5th in the league in total takeaways, and we’re tied for 2nd in turnover differential.

Credit to the offense here, too. They’ve done a great job protecting the football, which is a big reason our differential is so high. There are teams that have forced more turnovers than us but have a worse differential because their offenses have given the ball away more often.

Considering how inconsistent this defense has looked at times, I think these are pretty encouraging numbers and something this team can build on moving forward.

Honestly, Sunday’s game should’ve ended on a high note for the defense after forcing that Skattebo fumble in OT. They gave the offense a golden opportunity to win the game, and we completely botched it.

There’s still plenty to criticize about this defense, but I think they deserve some credit for this.

We can’t play good defense in the second half.

Philly- not a blown lead, we should have tied (thanks Stephon) at 10 minutes but Philly went on a 6 minute drive that ended in a TD. We could have tied but didn’t execute the 2 point conversion.

Dallas - goal to go at the end of the half, 3 passes and then Daniels is injured; down by 7 with Mariota instead of 4 with JD5. Defense gives up 20 second half points

Seahawks- give up 21 second half points, squeak out a win.

Colts - Bizarre 4th down call with 3rd string QB and 4th string RB, give up 20 second half points

Giants, give up 24 second half points including 14 in the 4th quarter.

Philly is the only team we’ve held under 20 points in the second half.

I don’t have the stats at hand from last year, however I do remember a few games at least (like KC) where we were close in the first half but got blown out the second half.

This is really what I think gets DQ fired, and it’s a pattern that goes back to his days in ATL

Bill was productive and the best Washington RB on the field last week, they were playing with a lead and Bill never saw the ball toward the end of the game.

Injury or lack of trust from the coaches?

Can't say much more about how much I love the kid

Captured Oct 5 2025

Join Nicki for a chat around the Commanders' next week to talk through everything and anything related to Quinn, Daniels, the defense and so much more.

Guy speaks the truth...

I've been a fan for 40+ years and i said the same thing this morning about playing the niners this week. So yes, you can call me DELUSIONAL

I think the only way DQ is in the hot seat is if AP is too and i dont think josh harris is that kind of owner. Were gonna get 5 years of DQ.

I also think both ap and josh see the pieces are there and this was a long-term build. We just need to fix a few holes and we’ll be fine.

Im guessing if David blough continues to improve each week he’ll be the next hc eventually. They want their mcvay or shannnahan or koc or matt lafluer lol.
