Blogs about the Washington Commanders and Washington Commanders fans.
On this day in Washington history – October 28th, 1945 – Washington beat New York 24-14 at the Polo Grounds in New York.
Redskins quarterback Sammy Baugh threw two touchdown passes. The first one, a 22-yarder to Wilbur Moore, and the second, a 6-yard toss to Wayne Milner. Washington scored 24 unanswered points en route to a comfortable road victory in front of 55,461 Giants fans.
Tough stretch. Three losses in a row leaves Washington at 2-5, and the season is starting to get away from them a little bit.
They have to get back on track this week.
One thing that won’t change?
Our undying love for our team.
Coming off their third consecutive loss, where would this week’s NFL Power Rankings go with the Washington Football Team? After all, despite the 24-10 loss, it was to a strong 6-1 team in the Green Bay Packers. A Packers team that has now won six straight games.
Down is the answer.
The Washington Football Team lost their third consecutive game on Sunday. The Denver Broncos lost their fourth in a row against the Cleveland Browns. The two sliding teams will square off at Empower Field on Halloween Day at 4:25pm.
One of the two teams will get back on the winning side of the ledger. Both teams need a win to keep the playoffs in sight.
It’s doubtful that as a little boy growing up in Green Bay, Taylor Heinicke envisioned his NFL touchdown at Lambeau Field to look like what happened Sunday. After all, it didn’t end up being a touchdown at all. And ultimately, Heinicke’s antics cost his team very valuable points.
Heinicke thought he had scored a touchdown against Green Bay. Facing a third-and-goal on the Packers’ 3-yard line, Heinicke scrambled to his right and found himself with a wide-open path to the end zone. Acres of space to walk right in.
He inexplicably dove and then rolled into the end zone. Apparently for dramatic effect. He even did the Lambeau Leap after spotting a Washington fan in the crowd after he had “scored”.
Here are the inactive lists for the Washington Football Team versus Green Bay Packers Week 7 match-up.
William Jackson being unable to go, is a blow for Washington. Aaron Rodgers isn’t exactly the opposing quarterback of choice when you have a depleted secondary.
It’s a positive that Antonio Gibson is able to go again with the shin injury, and not on this list. Or is it? Eventually he might hurt that shin enough to not only land on the inactive list, but the season-ending injured reserve list.
The Washington Football Team have dropped two games in a row, heading into this NFC East versus NFC North match-up. They head to Lambeau Field on Sunday to face the 5-1 Green Bay Packers. The Packers have not lost a game since dropping their season opener.
Can Washington get back on track this week against Green Bay?
This week’s Throwback Thursday doesn’t look back at a day in Washington Football history like many of them do. Today, we use Throwback Thursday to take an extra chance to remember Sean Taylor.
Sean was forever memorialized on Sunday, when the Washington Football Team retired the jersey number 21. That means Sean is the last player that will ever wear that jersey for Washington. That’s fitting because when you think of “21,” it’s impossible not to think of Sean.
The Washington Football Team limp into Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers in Week 7. They are two teams that appear to be heading in different directions.
Washington were dismantled by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs 31-13 at Fed Ex Field in Week 6. Subsequently, they fell to 2-4.
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are 5-1 after a big 24-14 divisional win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Washington retired Sean Taylor’s jersey number 21 this past weekend. He is just the third player in Washington history to receive the honor.
Much ado has been made about the lack of notice to fans. Rightfully so, Sean deserved better.
So why not at least honor him with a wallpaper?
It would have been great to put out the wallpaper last week, but the team hadn’t announced the event at that time. 🙁
