Commanders Vs Giants: Head-To-Head, Odds And More
The 7-5 Washington Commanders are currently holding down the final Wild Card spot. In fact, if the playoffs were today, all four of the NFC East teams would make the playoffs. That makes this Week 13 match-up with the division rival New York Giants a big one for Washington, to say the least.
The 7-4 Giants sit just ahead of Washington in the division and in the Wild Card race. The Giants have had a ten day lay off after losing 28-20 to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. This will be the Giants second of four consecutive games against NFC East teams – including (a strange) two in a row against the Commanders.

Washington is currently on a four game slide having lost to both the Eagles and the Cowboys twice. The Giants have lost five straight.
How will the last game of 2021 go?
Washington Given Second Chance; Heinicke Notches First Win
Did the Washington Football Team actually just catch a break? It doesn’t seem that often of late, that a critical bounce or call seemed to go Washington’s way. Yet last night, Washington got a favourable call, and rode it to their first win of the young season. The first win for Taylor Heinicke, in his NFL career.
Up And Down We Go
The fourth quarter of last night’s Thursday tilt between Washington and the New York Giants was an absolute roller coaster. The lead changed hands three times in the last five minutes of play. There was a game-winning field goal attempt as the clock was running dry. Then there was another game-winning field goal attempt when the clock had run dry.

Finally Back In Black Again
Sometimes life serves you lemons and there is no lemonade to be found.
An unforeseen life hiccup caused me to be offline for much longer than expected, my apologies.
Things have smoothed out now, and I look forward to trying to bring you some interesting Washington Football Team content in 2021.
As for Sunday, what do you even say?
It was bad, then it was good, and then it was bad again.

The Loser Papers – 2018 Edition V
Wow, this season is becoming fun, albeit a lot of work for the editors of TLP. Back to back divisional wins have been rare in recent history, and sacking Sheli Manning 7 times in a great defensive effort, seemingly even rarer. How great was it to see the sad sack QB pouting hit after hit?
Along with the stellar defensive play, the resurgence of Adrian Peterson made this the editors favorite game of the season. To celebrate, we bring our loyal readers a trifecta of NY newspaper articles. The first comes from the pages of The New York Daily News:
Washington Redskins Face Crucial Period in Weeks Ahead
After eleven weeks of NFL football, what’s left to play for in the NFC East as one of the league’s most competitive conferences edges towards a conclusion – and what do the Washington Redskins have to do?
Currently third in the NFC East, the Redskins are 4-6, just behind the 5-5 Dallas Cowboys. With a margin so tight, a single weekend of NFL action could change the standings completely. The only problem is that the Philadelphia Eagles are running away with it, with a 9-1 record, and are standing amongst the contenders to go all the way to the Super Bowl. So the Redskins and the Cowboys are “battling” for second place, and on an outside chance, a Wild Card berth.
