NFL Nation is still talking Commanders.
For their performance Thursday night, as expected, the Commanders are the subject of ridicule and the butt of jokes around the country.
Buy Commanders TicketsHere are several of those jokes, courtesy of social media.
JPAFootball says Ron Rivera a mediocre football coach
𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗘 𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗟𝗦𝗘: The #Commanders need to move on from head coach Ron Rivera if they miss the playoffs this year.
Outside of his 15-1 season with the #Panthers in 2015, Ron Rivera has proven to be a rather mediocre head coach.
Here’s his record as head coach from 2016… pic.twitter.com/9x7IO13xht

Many saying new owner Magic Johnson is Mr. Obvious
This Thursday night began as praise toward Johnson for stating the Commanders didn’t compete. By Friday, it was Johnson used Twitter quite often to merely state the obvious.
Tonight the Commanders played with no intensity or fire. We didn’t compete in the first half and got down 27-3 heading into halftime. It was too big of a hole to climb out of and that is why we ended up losing 40-20.

Grant Paulsen, again on the Commanders, worth your time
The Commanders through 5 games during Rivera era:
Year 1: 1-4, -33 PTS
Year 2: 2-3, -32 PTS
Year 3: 1-4, -38 PTS
Year 4: 2-3, -51 PTS— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 6, 2023
No wonder Howell was sacked another 5 times, they didn't have to read for a run
Washington called 55 consecutive pass plays without a run from early in the second quarter until the end of the game, the longest passing streak in the PFF era 😳

Folks still wondering who was this guy and what was he doing?
What in the world is this?
During last night's game, someone using a #Commanders case phone was standing behind #Bears OC Luke Getsy and directed it at his playbook, possibly recording it?
This seems really odd – what do you make of this?
