but the new look commanders have me firing up the bandwagon again. instead of "i guess i'll watch the game" and only half paying attention, it's become must see TV again. makes me miss having my dad around, he'd be enjoying this so much and our weekly calls would probably be mostly about the games.

my inlaws are CLE fans (Nova and Ashland Ohio), so i know your pain. CLE is more incompetent than asshole, tho, right? i mean, Snyder was on his own special shitbird island as an owner.

I can only imagine that kind of disappointment. I mean the Broncos have been bad for a while, but yeah, there are definitely teams out there with longer records of disappointment! 20 years ago I had a 2 year job outside of Columbus, OH and the neighbor behind my rental house had his Browns flag out on his back porch ever weekend, so I got a Broncos flag to taunt him back. Whenever my dog was doing his business in the back yard and the neighbor came out, I'd say "Look, he's making another Browns mascot"!

I had the Broncos Defense, Javonte Williams and Courtland Sutton on my Fantasy team this week and 2 of 3 helped me secure my 3rd win of the season after I was predicted to win ZERO after the draft.

As a Fan of the Miami Dolphins from the early 70's when they were a dominant team and won back to back Super Bowls I feel your pain.

Even Dan Marino couldn't get us another Superbowl win in 85.

After that it's been mediocre at best.

Congrats, but let’s just bring on college basketball. It was a brutal weekend between the lamecocks and Steelers.

Yeah, as I was wallowing in misery after Carolina got beat down by Ole Miss, I had to put it in perspective...glad I wasn't a Bama or Tennessee fan on Saturday night.

I’m waiting for it all to come crashing down but I’m enjoying this season greatly. Daniels looks legit. I’m worried he gets hurt because that’s how it goes for us. Washington fan since 1983 here.

Just enjoy it, man. Ding dong the dick is gone. No more Snyder hanging heavy over this franchise.

They do look really good this year. I'm an Eagles fan, and we've started the year slow (and ended last year slow, so maybe we just suck?) but I never expected Washington to be leading the division at any time during the year. In fact, I kind of put the 2 division games with them as an automatic W at the beginning of the season, right now that's not looking good.

a month later, it's even *MORE* fun. i haven't enjoyed football like this since the early 90s.

Jayden Daniels is scary good for a rookie QB.

he just makes you believe, man. if the game is close, you feel good about it as long as he can get the ball back in his hands.

Good win. It’s fun watching everyone’s offense but mine. Thank goodness I don’t have to watch for a while. I like your chances in the next one as well.

I have not been watching football since Colin Kapernick started his BS and the league condoned it. Plus Washington sucked so bad for so many years under the ownership of that asshat Daniel Snyder.

I am ready to jump on the bandwagon once again. I was able to watch most of the second half last after the daughters volleyball tournament. The Redskins/Commanders looked very good. I might just have to watch the whole game next week.

Commanders looked great and the Lions didn’t show up.

It was a good game but Detroit had way too many turnovers.

to be honest, i feel badly for lions fans. if they weren't playing the commanders, i'd have been rooting for them. and if they'd beaten washington, i'd be rooting for them to win it all.
