Washington Commanders @ Philadelphia Eagles When: Sunday, October 1st 2023 - 1:00 PM Where: Lincoln Financial Field - Philadelphia PA How To Watch: Fox - Joe Davis, Daryl Johnson announcing TV Coverage Map

The first loss in the Josh Harris era was an ugly one. It was the type where you want to throw away the tape, simply turn the page, and move on to the next week. With a huge divisional game vs. the Eagles on deck, there is no time for Washington to feel sorry for themselves. As we pick ourselves up off the turf, let's get right to this week's studs, duds, and hat tips. Studs: a. Josh Harris - Yes, I was one of those people who turned the television off yesterday. After the Sam Howell pick-six to make the game 30-0 in favour of Buffalo, I just couldn't do it anymore. I had to walk away because I just wasn't having any fun. That said, at no point after turning off my television did I contemplate not watching next week's game. After a performance like yesterday under our previous owner, I seriously would have thought long and hard about it. Harris has instilled a newfound level of hope regardless of the outcomes on the football field this year and that in and of itself is a major...

Thought it might be fun to look at regional foods in the road cities Washington plays in... I know a little bit about Buffalo as I did consulting work for a company there for years, and was frequently there for a few days at at time. Everyone knows about Buffalo Wings, but I'm going to tell you about two foods few have heard of but that Buffalo is known for. If you go to Buffalo, and ask 'what should I try while I'm here?', you'll undoubtedly hear about two items. The first one I highly recommend. It's 'Beef on Weck'. You're probably asking - what the hell is 'Beef on Weck' :) Beef on Weck is a sliced beef sandwich served on a kimmelweck roll (think of this as a bun that's made out of a salted soft pretzel). Legend is that around 1900, a street vendor from Germany was serving these and this favorite sandwich grew in popularity from there. Served with 'au jus' and/or horseradish, Beef on Weck is just an amazing sandwich. Buffalo is also famous for 'Sponge Candy'. I know -...

The guys revel in the glory that was the Commanders comeback in Denver, give out plenty of kudos, and discuss Sunday's challenge against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills at sold-out Fed Ex Field.

On this week's episode, the guys talk fan experience at the home opener, review the good, the bad, and the ugly in the win against the Cardinals, and discuss what we might expect in next Sunday's Week 2 road clash against the Broncos. May Washington, like Aaron Rodgers, 'rise again'!

The Josh Harris era got off to a nice start today with a victory vs. the Cardinals. Today, the burgundy and gold certainly didn't win pretty, and it was a reminder that an ownership change is not magically going to make the on-field product an instant winner. There is work to be done, but it was a step in the right direction at a time of year where you hope to stack wins any way you can get them while you are still finding your stride as a team. Let's get right to this week's list: Studs: 1. Jon Allen/Montez Sweat - Montez Sweat made a case today towards being the defensive end the Commanders should seriously think about locking up long-term to pair with the interior duo of Payne and Allen. In the second half with the Commanders trailing and at risk of potentially going down two scores vs. the lowly Cards, Montez Sweat and Jon Allen made some great individual plays to shift the momentum in the football game. In fact, they single-handedly took it over. Sweat's play in particular...
