Poles inherited a 6-11 team. In his first 3 years, Poles was 15-36 in Chicago and many thought he should have been fired before getting Ben Johnson. Peters inherited a 4-13 team. Peters was 17-17 after 2 years, so won more in 2 than Poles did in 3 (not even including the 2 playoff wins). Not saying Poles is bad or Peters is great, but what are we even doing here?
Ryan Poles has set up the Bears much better than Adam Peters has set up the Commanders

“Inside the NBA” changed what a sports studio show could be. And Ernie Johnson was the conductor of the train. Johnson said Wednesday that this will be his last year hosting the show, after 37 years. He’s the best to ever do it. Free, in @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/7732953…

"If you asked me to pick the heir to Fred Warner today – I'd say Sonny Styles." "This guy might be the best linebacker once Fred Warner retires." Much more on the Commanders rookie with @Foxworth24 @CKravitz17 and @Nate_Tice:

This a was really well done piece (both written and the audio piece included within) from @RobWoodfork on @PTI’s 25th anniversary and the show’s DC roots. Really well done!
The WaPo sports department that brought Kornheiser and Wilbon together is gone. But PTI is still going strong after 25 years. I went behind the scenes of ESPN's enduring institution and found its story is more distinctly D.C. than I imagined. @WTOP wtop.com/sports/2026/10/espn…

Great work, @RobWoodfork. All of us in the Washington Post sports department watched it happen in our newsroom well before it actually happened on air. We had an amazing front-row seat for the Mike and Tony show. 😉 Love the audio portion embedded in this piece.

The Wizards have a winning record for the first time in 1,423 days 🤯 Washington’s season-opening win puts the team above .500 for the first time since Nov. 28, 2022.

Interesting that he started last week. Commanders came out noticeably less aggressive early on vs San Fran, playing more mixed zone coverages with 4 man rushes. Didn't work so they went back to blitzing
The #Commanders have hired Steve Wilks to work with the defensive coaches under Dan Quinn and Daronte Jones, per me and @RapSheet. The decision to hire Wilks was made last month. He started last week. Wilks will help with game planning. He won't be with the team on game days.

The Commanders have hired Steve Wilks as a part-time assistant to help Dan Quinn and Daronte Jones with defensive game-planning, per source. He doesn't do game days; comes in on Sundays and leaves after practice on Wednesdays.

Did a bit of a deep dive on Jayden Daniels stats after his impressive second half in San Fran. Jayden Daniels has played in 31 games (including 3 playoff games) in his career. That doesn’t even come out to 2 full seasons. Jayden Daniels career stats (including playoffs): 6,411 passing yards 43 touchdowns, 13 interceptions 66.3 completion percentage 266 carries, 1,517 rushing yards 11 rushing touchdowns Jayden Daniels stats since beginning of 2025 season (11 games, some of which he was playing injured and did not finish): 2,021 passing yards 11 touchdowns, 3 interceptions 62.2 completion percentage 83 carries, 491 rushing yards 4 rushing touchdowns Stats don’t lie. Jayden Daniels is an elite NFL QB talent. You can point to on field errors the last couple of weeks and injury concerns, but at the end of the day Jayden Daniels represents the Commanders best path to a Super Bowl and the team should figure out whatever the best way to put him in the position to succeed is, because if he succeeds the franchise will.

The 2026 #Commanders are the first NFL team to have a +6 turnover margin and a -40 scoring margin through the first six games of a season since… the 1980 Redskins. Washington fired head coach Jack Pardee after the 1980 season and hired future Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs
The Washington Commanders are tied for No. 1 in the NFL in turnover differential at +6 and yet are 1-4-1 with a point differential of -40. It takes a special kind of team to have a turnover differential that good and a record and a point differential that bad.

“When you are on a team that has no hope, … you lose the ability to concentrate.” @SteveSmithSr89 and @SaturdayJeff comment on the Commanders' fourth-down blunder in their loss against the 49ers 😲

4-2 team with Mike Tomlin Can't convince me otherwise
Unpopular take: I think the Commanders roster is good enough to win almost every week. Way better than the record and it gets credit for. WR /LB rooms are examples. Coaching doesn’t elevate them. They play hard for DQ because they like him but they rarely win coaching battle.

confirmed Dan Quinn called for a field goal when it was already 49ers ball after a turnover on downs, because he had no idea the prior play was 4th down
this is SOOOO BAD how does the HEAD COACH not know the down???

The #Commanders have played 2 games since 2020 vs 5-0 or better teams. They won both of those games on Mondays (defeated 11-0 PIT in 2020 & 8-0 Eagles in 2022). They face the 5-0 #49ers on Monday Night Football tonight Their last loss to a 5-0 team? The 2019 49ers #RaiseHail

Jayden Daniels is 12-0 when Washington holds opponents under 24 points. Over the past two season the average scoring for an NFL team per game is 23 points. If he just had an average defense we’d be talking about him like Mahomes/Lamar

We're getting an NFL rarity this week: A team coming off an international game (Eagles) has to play a team coming off a bye (Panthers). This has only happened four times ever. The team coming off the international game is 0-4. #Eagles #Panthers
