The Cardinals stink.
The Broncos stink.
Buy Commanders TicketsI mean, the Dolphins were up 70-20, and there were still seven minutes remaining in that game. Miami eventually won, 70-20.
The Commanders … oh well, you get the idea.
The Commanders were 2-0, having defeated the Cardinals and then the Broncos. Today at home on FedEx Field, the Commanders were embarrassed by the Buffalo Bills 37-3.
It was so bad that I don’t know where to start.
The Commanders were only 1 of 9 on third downs today. Why was that? Starting with interceptions, there were four of those by Sam Howell; one was even returned for a Bills touchdown.
Oh, did I mention there were nine, yes, nine times Washington quarterback Sam Howell was sacked?
When the Commanders managed to get into the red zone twice, they came away with no points each time.
It was so bad that Commanders head coach Ron Rivera sent out kicker Joey Slye with seconds remaining to attempt a 51-yard field goal, hoping (and probably praying) to avoid a 37-point shutout.
Antonio Gibson fumbled again today, and the Bills recovered it. Wonder if offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy will come down on Gibson, benching him?
Speaking of Bieniemy, after wins over the Cardinals and Broncos, NFL analysts were referencing Bieniemy like he was Bill Walsh or Joe Gibbs creating an offensive attack.
During the Bills’ onslaught against the Washington offense, I wondered how strongly Bieniemy lobbied to get right tackle and former Kansas City Chiefs Andrew Wylie signed during the free agent signing period back in March.

Plain and simple, the players and coaches alike today were humiliated and shown to be humans and very beatable.
Dust yourself off, men. The sun will rise tomorrow, and you can get back to work toward putting on a better showing next week.
