    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Our WR room is barren. We took legit swings at Pierce and Doubs but my knee jerk reaction was: why didn’t we just go full Linderbaum/Raiders and make an offer they could not refuse? But today I realize both Pierce and Doubs are the uncontested WR1 on their teams. Perhaps that was just as...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Assuming the FO did due diligence on trade interest prior to cutting him and found nothing worthwhile, why would we be in a better spot to recoup something post FA/draft? -- As a kool-aid drinker, consider me happy to see our pick ups and rumored interests come from outside our coaching tree...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    Yeah 2.2.2022 Commanders was horrific. But count me as open to, and optimistic regarding the future Commanders brand. Washington Football Team and/or Football Club Nameless team. No identity. Or perhaps the identity is just pissed off football fans giving the finger to the entities that forced...

    The Athletic hiring a gaggle of WaPo Sports folks. Reinstating a Nats beat! Svrluga covering Commies and DC sports more broadly. I’m happy to hear this tho I wish Candace Buckner was continuing with a DC focus instead of national. Candace > Barry imo...

    Daronte Jones and the Defensive Staffing Thread

    Whitt said he was going to do the same thing Kirk said was so brilliantly implemented by Macdonald. I recall this only because it sounded so refreshing at the time. So what happened? Were our players incapable of pulling it off or was it a coaching issue? I'm excited for the new look...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    The aesthetic has been improved from the low bar of what I feel is actually God awful (pictured below). Shoddy, uninspired, work with the WRONG championship years on it. I like they released this on the anniversary of the initial Commie brand rollout. I like the gradual evolution into the...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Riggo44 post above by VOR hits on why I think we failed at WR. At Edge we replaced Fowler with Von Miller instead of a Demarcus Lawrence, Sweat, etc. We were cheap in our approach and went into the season without depth. Now it's the first thing out of AP's mouth as to where we improve. We put...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Lack of 2026 draft picks + most UFA in the league this offseason + spectacular failures of roster gambles at WR/Edge/etc. in 2025 + a LOT of cap flexibility = we better be VERY busy. In other words, I expect to overpay, be all over the day 1 headlines of the FA cycle, and land all the names in...

    Covering the Commanders: Keim and Company Discussion

    Chick Hernandez abruptly fired while in Madrid: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/11/20/chick-hernandez-washington-dc-sportscaster/ Bummed. I’ve always enjoyed Chicks shtick. Seems to be among the last of a dying breed (local sportscaster). I’m sure whatever led to WUSA9 firing him...

    Official Game Thread - Week 3 - Raiders @ Commanders

    Meh I think you’re over simplifying the retrospective here. I think most are pointing out the warts that can hold this team back from competing for a SB. It’s different than in years past where the argument was more like [if they don’t get this corrected then we’ll be looking at top 5 pick…...

    2025 Keys to a Victory Contest

    Quan gets his pick back after having it stolen by the refs last week. This one’s better - puts the game on ice. Super Bowl hype train has left the station! Commanders - 28 Packers - 24

    Covering the Commanders: Keim and Company Discussion

    I was personally bummed to learn Adam Kilgore’s WaPo role on the Skins beat was temporary. Really enjoyed his player features throughout camp, particularly the one on Kinlaw. Hopefully the new guy - never heard of him before - adds something beyond quotes pulled from pressers with some filler...

    2025 Keys to a Victory Contest

    The sellout crowd is antsy heading into the half with the giants up 10-3. The offense has zero rhythm so far and a couple drive killing sacks have triggered serious cases of Snyder PTSD. Was last year a mirage? Is it time for the inevitable shoe drop? The annoying patches of blue throughout the...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    When news of the sale broke, I was hopeful the HOG would make a swift break from the Commanders name. I figured the longer the name lingered, the less likely it would change and I really dislike the name. But in hindsight, it would have been a truly thoughtless maneuver to buy the team and...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    Agreed the Raise Hail creative looks great. The W is, if nothing else, clean. There are definitely bits and pieces of brand elements the team have put out that look nice, that aren't universally panned (cough, cough.. road white unis). But the underlying issue that all fan gripes converge on is...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    I agree wholeheartedly the brand lacks a visual identity and military themes seem to be the most sensible place to draw from. I have also proposed doing a lot centering around dog tags. As far as logo is concerned my rough idea is an encircled W with dog tags hanging off the back left with the...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    Thanks - appreciate the feedback. I have begrudgingly accepted the name. Started preparing myself for this mentally once they beat the eagles. It was then I realized this team might make a playoff run and the name would be associated with something positive for the first time. I figured that...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    Not much to like. Hate the uniforms and how bland everything is. "Take Command"?? Clip art W? That's the amateur hour output of Jason Wright and crew. Moving on... Lean into military theme, hard. Establish an identity fans can play on and embrace given time Roll with the "Commander tag" and...
