Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's go ahead and talk about those Washington Commanders.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Let's talk about the shock of the world of twenty
twenty five. The Commanders, guys are no longer the NFL's afterthought.
This team, led by defensive minded head coach Dan Quinn,
is in the second year as a head coach and
is ready to shake up the NFC East and put
the league on I alert.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
A new identity, a new culture.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Same fire. The question is how far can they go
in twenty twenty five? Guys, Let's break down the entire city.
Break down the entire twenty twenty five season. Way too early,
as they give you the way too early win loss
prediction records, So strapping Commanders Nation rad as hell because
it is going to be a wild ride, and right
off the bad guys. Week number one, they do start
(00:45):
off strong. They're at home taking on the New York
Football Giants as the dan Quinn era Enterans in his
second season and guys to Washington's ream defense smothers the Giants,
setting the tone for what is coming in for the
long season they're going to have. They're very high hopes
this season. But Week two, they travel to Green Bay,
(01:06):
one of the best teams in the NFC early trip
to Lambo not ideal. Jordan Love hits some big plays
late and the Commanders drop a close one, dropping them
to one to one on the season. Now they are
back at home versus the Las Vegas Raiders, and the
Commanders take care of business. Jade and Daniels underneath underneath
center is going to manage that game very very well,
(01:28):
while that defense harasses the Vegas offense. Because the Vegas
office is terrible. I don't care if it's Aid and O'Connell.
I don't care if it's Gino Smith. I don't care
if you signed Tom Brady. The Raiders are not gonna
be very good on the offensive side of the ball.
And then come in week number four, they travel to
to Atlanta. As Dan Quinn returns to the Atlanta Falcons,
he dials out the heat and confuses second year quarterback
(01:52):
Michael Pegy Junior, and the Commanders leave Georgian with yet
another w SO. Starting out the season three and one,
this team was ahead of schedule. This devas is top
ten material and the offense is clean, efficient and playing
with herpose. Washington fans got a great feeling right now
they got a great feeling right now, because it is
time to get tested and gain more momentum as they
(02:14):
head into week number five, when they traveled to LA
to take on the Chargers. A tough road trip, but
this team doesn't bleek. The defense pressures the Justin Herbert
all day long, and yet the Washington picks up another
statement win in LA. Then back at home week number six,
the Chicago Bears are back coming into Washington, DC for
yet another year. You guys, remember the Hail Mary from
(02:36):
last season, the Hail Mary that basically catapulted the Commanders
to up here and the Bears down down here. We
have a rematch right now. We all understand that Caleb
Williams versus jadon Dails is a must see TV. Right
Whoever the starting quarterback is at this particular point, it
may not even be Caleb Williams, Let's just be honest.
(02:57):
But the Commanders come out there and whoop, they ask,
They keep roll, They keep rolling. But then week number seven,
they do travel to Arlington, Texas to take on the
Dallas Cowboys with their first true test of the season.
Brian Schottenheimer's new look Dallas offense takes big steps here
and the Commanders. Who's a hard fight Bottle in Arlington,
giving them their second loss of the season. And then
(03:19):
week number eight, they're back on the road, this time
to Arrowheads Stadium on Monday Night football. Patrick Maholmes under
the under the lights. Even with the much improved squad,
guys to Washington, Maner just cannot hang with the Chennessee
Chiefs at home as they follow to five and three.
But then week number nine, they're back at home taking
on the Seahawks. Sam Darnold and the Seahawks are frisky here,
(03:41):
but Washington gets back to their identity and dominate the
line of scrimmage and they control the game and Jane
Daniels goes off. We're talking about Jayde Downs as the
MVP after this game. So at the mid season point here, guys,
they are six and three record with with with tough
losses to two Super Bowl caliber teams, but overall, the
Commanders are exceeding expectations. Playoff conversations are becoming real yet again.
(04:06):
But this is where the Commanders start to find their ceiling.
This is this is when we realize that the Commanders
are really not ready to break through to an elite
NFC level team here because week number ten, the Detroit
Lions come into town and they embarrass the Commanders.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Detroit comes in and plays bulli ball.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
This feels kind of like a measuring stick that the
Washington Commanders needed and they realize that we are not
an elite team yet, we have a lot of work
to do. But then week number eleven, they do travel
to Miami and they do do damage.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
To the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Course, the miam Dolphins are not very good, but they
do take a huge win on the road in Miami.
Heading into a week twelve bye week, and they're week thirteen,
they're back on home to take on the Denver Broncos.
Now the Broncos are back under are back on track
underneath Sean Payton, like we said, when they play the
Dallas Cowboys, but the Washington whole the severe at home,
they hold serve at home, and dominate late in the fourth.
(05:05):
So moving into week fourth fourteen, right now they're sitting
at eight and four with the with the bye week
coming out the perfect time. In week twelve, the Washington
enters the Inners in December and healthy and dialed in
and ready for a full playoff push. And the Zach's
and that's exactly what they do. Week fourteen, they traveled
to Minnesota and they beat down JJ McCarthy and the
(05:27):
Minnesota Vikings. Whether it's a retooled or a veteran under center,
it doesn't matter aka Aaron Rodgers. The Washington defense travels
and they deliver and they shut down the Minnesota Vikings
early and often that Week fourteen game. But then Week fifteen,
they travel to New York. This is a trap game,
a divisional game on the road, and the Giants want
(05:48):
to play spoiler here, Hell, the Giants are actually competing
for a playoff spot in this particular this particular game,
and the Washington slip up up at the wrong time
they lose to the New York Giants. The number sixteen,
they're back at home. Payback time is happening as they
beat the Philadelphia Eagles at home, and then the Dallas
Cowboys come to town as well, and they beat the
(06:09):
Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And then a quote.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Back to back games which you play the same team
twice in three weeks. This time they travel to Philly
and depending on seating and hell, this could be a
Restl's tartar side fits situation. Either way, I think the
Eagles take this one in which gives the Commanders eleven
and six record three and three in the NFC East. Guys,
(06:31):
a Washington is officially back after this season, right? This
team wins in the trenches, wins on defense, and wins
late in the year they split with They split with
both the Eagles and the Cowboys, both really really good teams.
They're dominant at home and are built to make noise
in January? Guys, is this finally where the Washington Commanders
breakthrough and win the NFC East? Are they finally back
(06:54):
on top? Can they finally make it to the NFC
Championship game yet again? So guys, be sure of hit
the subscribe and we're live everyon We're gonna do right
at nine pm East coach time. But guys, what are
your thoughts? Are the Commanders back and are they tier
to stay on top? That is my question? And John
says no, they're not. John says no, they are eight to.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Nine pig skin, get yourself.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
John, John says, Jalen Hurst, Jayden Daniels, it doesn't matter.
Commanders in five right, I know I'm trying to do
my best, my breast depression of the old jen and
sharp there.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
But yeah, eight to nine that is tough.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's tough, Daniel, Barry smart tylers and chat. What's up, Daniel,
Hope you have a good, good day, man Alf Rob says,
this year, Washington sneaks up on No. One, ten and
seven because the Cowboys are healthy. So you're so you're
predicting that the Cowboys sweep the Commanders. Is that what
I'm getting off for Rob, is that the vibe that
I'm picking up that you're putting down.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Okay, okay, okay, ten and seven.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
He says, ten and seven, thes are sneakly good this year, John,
you are one hundred percent correct. And as we get
to the Giants, we'll be definitely talking about how.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Underrated I think they are. But let's go ahead and
move on to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Hang on, hang on, Seahawks Broncos both dropped games in
Dallas to your predictions. I agree, Well, yeah, I concur
trap games, right, Trap games
