Mark Solway The Washington Commanders victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday was a bit if an anomaly. Why? Because Washington haven’t opened a season at 2-0 since the Occupy Wall Street movement.
That’s right, they haven’t won their first two regular season games since 2011.
It was a very tight game. Perhaps more poignantly, it definitely didn’t look like it was going to happen for at least half of the game. In fact, it almost fell through at the last moment as well.
Welcome to Flashback Friday, where we take a trip down memory lane to revisit yesteryear moments in Washington football history. From jaw-dropping plays to nail-biting finishes, Washington football has provided its fans with countless memories throughout the years. Today, we turn our attention to September 15, 1968, when the Washington Redskins took on the Chicago Bears. … Read more
Welcome to the second #WallpaperWednesday of the 2023 NFL regular season. For near on twenty straight seasons, this site has created schedule wallpapers for Washington fans. Last week we posted our first schedule wallpaper of the season.
The Washington Commanders head in to their Week 1 match-up against the Arizona Cardinals beginning a new era – the Josh Harris Era. Though it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, it is also known as the Non-Dan-Snyder-Era. Given how things have been in Washington for the last two decades, that’s a monumental moment in franchise history.
What does the new era hold for Washington fans? So far – unbridled joy.
Here is a look at the matchup between these two teams.
Welcome to the first #WallpaperWednesday of the 2023 NFL regular season. For near on twenty straight seasons, this site has created schedule wallpapers for Washington fans.
Back in the day, those wallpapers were created at 800×600 pixels to suit the “modern desktop”. This season all of the wallpapers will be at 1920×1080 resolution for the desktop ones, and 1080×1920 for the mobile wallpapers.
The Commanders cut their final roster down to 53 men yesterday, and the team is now “set” for the 2023 season. Obviously there will be many changes before the end of the season, but this is what Washington are going with to begin the campaign.
So how do they look?
As I wrote earlier in May, the NFL offseason seems to grow shorter and shorter as time go by; however, there is still an offseason. And that leaves some time to grow out areas of this website that I am passionate about – like the History section.
Building up the history section of this website is just part of every offseason. I try to add to the resources that this site provides, as it gets harder and harder to find some of these history elements in some cases.
So there are four new pages in the History section that I want to draw Joe Q. Reader’s attention to, and there may be a couple more before the offseason is out:
The Washington Commanders began their 2023 Training Camp in Ashburn this week. Open practices for fans began on Thursday, and at the “Back Together Saturday” themed celebration yesterday – Commanders Park was “sold out”.
Somewhere in the region of 10,000 fans descended on the OrthoVirginia Training Center on Saturday. The buzz is real. After all, what could be more galvanizing to the fan base, than finally being free of the ole ball and chain?
With the $6.05 billion sale to Josh Harris, Dan Snyder’s tenure in the NFL came to an end. The league agreed to the deal yesterday.
After twenty plus years of ownership, Dan and wife Tanya took one last opportunity to prove that they just don’t get it.
Here is the prepared statement that they issued:
Is this Christmas in July? Actually, does Christmas even offer the type of return that today did for the vast majority of Washington football fans? It is a day of note – a day of significance – a date to remember. July 21, 2023 is the day that a starving fanbase finally received the long-awaited … Read more
