Just want to say again; the tone of engagement and conversations is so much better here on BlueSky than it is over on the old hellsite. The amount of abuse I get in replies over there when people disagree with any sort of football analysis is wild. Thanks for everyone here. You guys are great.

The Saints just tush-pushed and the refs called them for a false state. So it's literally just Philadelphia who gets away with it? SHENANIGANS!

Well, that was fun. Commanders win 41-24, with a final score that probably flatters the Raiders more than it should. Just a dominant performance today, led by Marcus Mariota who played brilliantly. #RaiseHail

TOUCHDOWN Luke McCaffrey with the nail in the coffin and the #Commanders have a 40 burger! #RaiseHail

This is a hell of a sack from Maxx Crosby. I think he briefly flew? Is that allowed, NFL? Guys shouldn't be allowed to levitate. That's not fair.

That "ride the float" commercial is the single worst thing the NFL has produced in years. WTF was that. That sucked so hard.

They stole a TD from Scary Terry... #NFL #RaiseHail #LAVvsWAS

That made no sense. An expedited review that was clearly wrong. Thank goodness they still got the TD anyways

Terry McLaurin 'questionable' with a quad injury. Considering the Commanders have a 34-10 lead in the 4th quarter, I have to believe that McLaurin will be done for the day. No need to risk him any further.

For those curious; Coaches cannot challenge a call that was made/confirmed by the 'expedited review system'. So Dan Quinn had no option to challenge the blown call on the Terry McLaurin touchdown. Expect some follow-up this week. NFL blew this.

TOUCHDOWN (for real this time) Jacory Croskey-Merritt gets into the endzone through some very nice blocks, and the #Commanders extend the lead. #RaiseHail

CONTROVERSY The knee never actually hits the ground; Terry McLaurin is on top of the Raiders defender. This should have been a TD. The "expedited replay system" got this wrong.

TOUCHDOWN TERRY MCLAURIN DEEP SHOT AND STRETCHES THE ARMS TO BREAK THE PLANE IN THE ENDZONE The Washington Commanders are just kicking the ass of the Raiders. #RaiseHail

This ruled

SACK Bobby Wagner blitzes through the middle unchallenged and down goes Geno for the 5th time. This is a bloodbath. #RaiseHail

SACK For the 4th time today, Geno Smith goes down. This time it's Javontae Jean-Baptiste! (Shout-out to Ricky Jean-Francois for no reason) #RaiseHail

TOUCHDOWN 90 yard punt return TD for Jaylin Lane! There was a flag on the play and I thought it wasn't going to count, but it was against the #Raiders! LFG!

The #Commanders front seven is playing fantastically The #Raiders offensive line is awful A fun combination if you're a Washington fan!

"Nobody cared who I was, until I put on the mask"

SACK Von Miller gets his first solo sack as a Washington Commander, and it brings up 4th down for the Raiders #RaiseHail

Safety Will Harris ruled OUT due to an ankle injury. This is lowkey a potential upgrade for the #Commanders, as Will Harris has been struggling if we're being generous.

me at Costco on a Sunday afternoon

Why would you ice a kicker who keeps missing? That's the REVERSE ice. You're giving him a free practice shot! Matt Gay missed the FG after Raiders called the timeout. After the timeout, he drilled it. Dumb coaching from Pete Carroll

DAN QUINN : FOOTBALL GUY

Hell of a run

AJ Brown at halftime

SACK Bobby Wagner clings onto Geno Smith's ankles and gives him no chance to escape. Very reminiscent of my toddler when it's time to leave the playground. #RaiseHail

The #Commanders front seven stuff Jeanty on 3rd and 1. #RaiseHail

TOUCHDOWN Jeremy McNichols: 1 carry. 60 yards. 1 TD What?! Incredible effort from McNichols here, and the #Commanders ground game is going brilliantly today. #RaiseHail

Tucker was wide open for the Raiders on their TD. There was literally never a Corner or Safety watching him. The Linebackers covered him through the middle but there was no one in the zone as the play continued. Total coverage breakdown. #RaiseHail

Aaron Rodgers, who I do not support, has surpassed Brett Favre, who I also do not support

My NFL Gamepass keeps losing resolution and going pixelated. Super annoying when you're trying to share analysis via video highlights!

Bring in Koo. Northern Virginia has a great Korean community.

I didn't have space to say so but the other reason it was a good idea to rest Daniels is that Mariota is a really good backup. Today he has executed the offense very well although various blunders have cost the #Commanders points

So close. #RaiseHail

Tuesday this week:

The best time to replace Matt Gay was last week. The next best time is now.

Jaylin Lane drops what would have been his first NFL Touchdown catch. #RaiseHail

Awful blocking attempt here from Conerly Jr. I understand that Crosby wasn't his assignment, but cmon... #RaiseHail

Mariota leads all #Commanders for rushing yards at the moment, and has 1 rush TD. #RaiseHail

Deebo Samuel just got absolutely poleaxed in the helmet at the end of this play. In college, this would be targeting. Refs called this unnecessary roughness. #RaiseHail

Almost intercepted after Deebo bobbled the ball. Phew. #RaiseHail

SACK Dorance Armstrong with a great play to bring down Geno Smith on 1st down. #RaiseHail

Commanders lose the fumble. There was a LOT happening on this play. - Trick play - Huge gain on the QB run - Mariota fighting for extra yards loses the ball - Pinballs around on the ground - Raiders recover #RaiseHail

Terry McLaurin gets his first catch of the day, as Mariota will likely look his way frequently today. #RaiseHail

After the NFL copyright claimed the video of the LOS on last week's tush push controversy, I wonder if this is by design and intentional. Conspiracy time!

Mike Pereira straight up says the Eagles committed a false start on 4th-and-1 and the refs missed it

Very fortunate situation here for Safety Will Harris. If that was a better thrown pass, it would have been difficult for him to not give up the DPI here. #RaiseHail

Turn the game on and we score 1, 2, 3! Gotta love it!
