Blogs about the Washington Commanders and Washington Commanders fans.
On Sunday, Washington suffered their fourth consecutive defeat. They lost to a team in the Denver Broncos, who had themselves just lost four straight.
Once again it was a game of missed opportunities and mistakes for Washington.
That means there’s only one place to go in the NFL Power Rankings for the Washington Football Team.
Down.
The National Football League’s trade deadline is today at 4pm. After dropping to 2-6 on the weekend, the Washington Football Team certainly could be sellers as their playoff aspirations are already disappearing. Head Coach Ron Rivera has indicated that he will be evaluating everything over the team’s bye week.
Will any deals get done today?
Washington kicker Chris Blewitt had two of his three field goals blocked on Sunday. The Football Team ended up losing 17-10 to the Denver Broncos, making the two mistakes that much more costly. Week 9 is Washington’s bye Week. Will the kicker be saying goodbye?
Not only did Blewitt have two of his three kicks blocked this week, but one of his two kicks were blocked last week as well.
The Denver Broncos beat the Washington Football Team 17-10 at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium on Sunday. Washington dropped it’s fourth consecutive game to fall to 2-6 heading into their bye week.
Washington’s mistakes and missed opportunities cost them.
The Washington Football Team have dropped three games in a row, and head to Empower Field in Denver on Halloween Day looking for a win. The Broncos have been idle for ten days after a 17-14 loss to the Browns in last week’s Thursday Night game.
Washington have a bye next week and can ill afford to drop to 2-6. Both teams need to get back on the winning side of the equation if they expect to have any 2021 playoff opportunities.
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”.
