The Washington Commanders have had some stinkers over the years. However, their first-half performance against the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football could be among the worst in franchise history.
The Bears rolled up 307 yards of total offense against the Commanders in the first half en route to a 27-3 lead. Remember when the defense was supposed to be a team strength?
Buy Commanders TicketsLet’s add some context here as to why this first half has been so abysmal for the Commanders: The Bears haven’t won a game since Oct. 2022.
While the game itself was dreadful, social media was a lot more interesting. Let’s look at some of the best reactions regarding Washington’s ugly first half.
Ron Rivera
Without Snyder as a scapegoat, Ron Rivera's entire operation has been exposed. The deeper issue….Ron should have never been given this much control.

Everytime they pan to Ron Rivera with his arms crossed on the sideline watching this pathetic team he’s put together for 3 years it pisses me off

More Rivera
They've shown Ron Rivera on TV like 20 times. I haven't seen him speak once.

New ownership is awesome but they still need to rip the Ron Rivera & Del Rio Band-Aid off and until that happens we won’t see change on the field.

Ron Rivera always looks the same no matter what… He shows zero emotion and same with Del Rio showing zero emotion. Just act like you care at all please I’m begging either one of you.

Ron Rivera has been living off Cam Newton’s 2015 for a long time now, bucko

Have seen a lot of bad games here. This… might top them all. Players asked for a full house. Fans showed up. Playing an 0-4 team going through a lot of chaos. And yet… this. This is unreal.
