This Commanders loss was not disappointing nor depressing.
No, it was maddening and infuriating.
What was the reaction in the locker room and the postgame shows?
“We’ve got to be better separating against man, making contested catches and helping Sam out, whether that’s signals or little things throughout the game or throughout a certain look that could give him comfortability that he can really drive the ball.” Terry McLaurin
the 'clean' version of what Allen said when @JPFinlayNBCS asked if it gets frustrating:
"F— yes it does. I'm [bleeping] tired of this s- – -. [Bleeping] tired of this s- – -. It's been seven [bleeping] years of this s – – -. I'm tired of this s- – -."— John Keim (@john_keim) October 22, 2023
“We need help getting the team ready to perform. That’s the best you can give me? That is not good enough.” Rick Doc Walker
“We’re hurting ourselves. … If you want a chance … to have a rhythm, you got to make the routine plays. You have to be able to execute at a higher level (or) you’re shooting yourself in the foot. It’s hard to play against yourself and the opponent.” Terry McLaurin
“I would say, today, Washington beat Washington… everybody that was involved players and coaches, deserved some blame…everybody is at fault in this football game.” Brian Mitchell
“This team is not winning because we don’t hold them accountable. This team is not winning because we in the media. we as fans find reasons to give them excuses as to why they can’t get better. Tell them the truth. Right now they are not good.” Brian Mitchell
“I love this franchise, and I will not lie to them. Everybody from top to bottom has to get better, or this thing is not going to change up.” Brian Mitchell
“What I wanted to see was for us to play better, be more efficient, be more consistent as a team. There’s a lot of little details that were missed and these things have to be looked at and corrected.” Ron Rivera
“As much as we say it is not that bad, it is really hurting us. You can’t possibly think you are going to be productive each drive if you are allowing yourself to be taking a sack. Sacks happen, but when they happen they way they are for us, something has to change…” Santana Moss
“To me, it’s how you bounce back. We have ten games left to go, you never know what’s going to happen. You have to take them one at a time, you got to stay focused on it.” Ron Rivera
“He was wide open. I have to give him a better throw.” Sam Howell on the 4th down pass to Jahan Dotson
“Hats off to the defense; they kept us in the football game,” Sam Howell
“It’s very, very frustrating…it’s on us five up front. It’s that simple, and it’s something we need to correct.” Andrew Wylie on Sam Howell getting sacked so often.
