Enemy Reaction 2025: Washington Commanders

The Seattle Seahawks’ lone appearance (barring any flexing for the rest of the season) on Sunday Night Football was loud and eye-opening for much of America. If most of the country was asleep for the Monday night win over the Houston Texans, millions were wide awake to see Seattle destroy the Washington Commanders in their own building. A night meant to honor the 1980s Super Bowl teams and retire the great Art Monk’s jersey number turned into disaster literally from the opening kickoff, and the Seahawks never looked back on their way to a 38-14 win.

It’s Enemy Reaction time, which means it’s time to visit Hogs Haven and see how Commanders fans are feeling after a brutal loss. The Commanders are a Seahawks-heavy organization from the roster through the coaching staff and front office, so they’re like Seattle East in a way. Their

Post-game recap: Coaching malpractice to blame for Jayden Daniels injury (Dean Jones, Riggo’s Rag)

It was a pointless exercise. Placing the franchise player under fire when the blowout was confirmed was malpractice. Quinn and his staff will rightfully receive criticism, and this poor lack of judgment could have a far greater ripple effect when it’s all said and done.

Obviously, further tests will be carried out, but Daniels is probably done for the year. And that falls squarely on Quinn for keeping him under center when there was absolutely no need.

Daniels is a competitive guy who’s already missed time this season. That alone should have been enough to be cautious, but the notion must have slipped the mind of Quinn as he watched his team suffer yet another embarrassing beatdown on the national stage.

Now, the Commanders are going to pay a heavy price. Daniels is the beating heart of the franchise, dragging them from obscurity and into the NFC Championship game last time around. This year hasn’t come close to matching that level, and things are going to get a lot worse before they get better without the LSU product leading the charge.

That’s on the coaching staff.
