For the first time since Week 2, the Commanders are not in first place in the NFC East, but they can remedy that tonight with a road win against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Thursday night games are always a challenge for NFL teams, but Washington, with a Week 14 bye, is probably struggling a bit more than usual with team health. That includes the team’s newest defensive starter, CB Marshon Lattimore, who was already dealing with a hemstring injury when the Commanders front office acquired him from the Saints at the trade deadline. Against a team as talented as the Eagles,...

Playoffs!
The Washington Commanders were the top team in the NFC East before they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Philadelphia Eagles took care of the Dallas Cowboys last week. That had the Eagles at 7-2 and the Commanders at 7-3, giving Philadelphia a half-game lead in the division heading into Week 11.
The Washington Commanders are now 7-4, and on a two-game losing streak. They played the first game of Week 11, but tonight’s result drops them further down the playoff order. They went from 2nd to 6th in the NFC on Sunday, and today’s loss pushes them...

Survey results!!
This week’s results from the Reacts survey seem somewhat counter-intuitive at first, but with a bit of reflection, the thinking of Commanders fans who completed the survey becomes clear.
Just over half the fans responding to the survey here on Hogs Haven predict that the Eagles will win tonight’s matchup on Thursday Night Football, but a greater number — 58% — expect the Commanders to win the NFC East title.
A few factors are...

A mistake-filled performance drops Washington from the division lead
The last week has been kind of strange. Despite the team hitting on a QB and performing far better than anyone could have expected in the first year of a rebuild, there was more negativity in the in-game comment threads during a 1-point loss to a strong team than there had been at many times during the past four seasons, as a motley crew of replacement level QBs inspired the hopes of a desperate fanbase.
The results of the weekly fan opinion polls have been showing over 95% confidence in the...
