Grant Paulsen

Not a huge year but he will be way improved from last year imo

How can I tweet about Twitter being down if Twitter isn't working?

Big day for Blue Sky if Twitter doesn't get back online in time for the NFL League Year

Zach Ertz is returning to the Commanders on a one-year deal, via @TomPelissero.

🏈He'll make a little over $6M in 2025.
🏈Turns 35 in Nov
🏈2024: 17 games, 66 cat, 654 yds
🏈Key is keeping him on field.

Ertz is an invaluable leader. Catch-and-fall guy now; gets open and makes critical catches.

Come for the Tom Wilson game-winner, stay for the snoring French bulldog.

NFL Network's Charles Davis says the Commanders should still be looking for more WR help:

"I'd still be in the market because I want to go all out with this QB.. Can you get a rookie receiver? Can you get somebody with speed outside to supplement everything else you're doing?"

The Chargers are releasing DE Joey Bosa.

🏈 Turns 30 in July; entering 10th season
🏈 Has played 16 games twice in 7 years
🏈 7+ sacks in 5 of first 6 seasons
🏈7+ sacks in 0 of his last 3 seasons

Commanders' RBs coach Anthony Lynn coached Bosa in LA for 4 seasons.

The beauty of Alex Ovechkin's unbelievable scoring season -- other than the fact that he's going to chase Wayne Gretzky down this season -- is that it has helped elevate the Caps to a real contender again.

His goal tonight, pulling him within nine goals of Gretzy, also tied the game on the road.

Kerby Joseph has nine interceptions this season for the Lions.

How many would he have to get to be talked about as a DPOY with the best pass rushers? I never hear his name brought up in those conversations, but 9 pickles is a show. That's more than 10 teams have.

For the first time since 1991, the Commanders have won 11 games.

Jayden Daniels' final line in a playoff-clinching performance for the Commanders:

🏈 16 rushes for 127 yards.
🏈 24/36, 227 YDS, 3 TDs, 1 INT.

He walked off the Falcons with a 12-play drive that saw him complete a pass or run on all but one play.

Congrats to the Harris Ownership Group, Adam Peters, Dan Quinn and the entire Commanders operation.

They inherited a fixer-upper of a roster and just flipped the script. Double-digit wins and a postseason appearance in year one.

Amazing first season.

The Commanders clinched by winning 4 straight games.

With a win over the Cowboys next week they'll secure the six seed and an opening round playoff game not in Philly.

The Commanders are

🏈11-5; first time in 33 years.
🏈 Winners of 4 straight.
🏈 8-3 against the NFC.
🏈 7-2 at home.
🏈4-0 in December

Jayden Daniels ran for 127 yards tonight, second most ever by a QB in WSH franchise history.

The Nationals have signed Josh Bell to a one-year deal worth $6M pending a physical, source confirms.

I'm told they plan on him being in their DH mix this season. Bell hit 41 HR with the Nationals over 240 games in 2021 and 2022. Was a fan favorite.

@JonHeyman was first.

Can't wait!

The Nationals have trading for Rangers 1B Nathaniel Lowe. Straight up for reliever Robert Garcia.

Huge swap.

The Commanders are 6-2 at home, which is their best start at home since 2015.

The Commanders are 3-0 in December for the first time since 2012, when they won their last seven games and the division.

The Commanders had 2 WRs catch multiple TDs in a single game today. It was the first time since Michael Westbrook and Albert Connell did so against Carolina in 1999.

Crazy stat from @Wash_PR:

MLB is apparently having conversations about a golden AB rule. Get a load of this. Wow. (Via @theathletic.bsky.social).

Thoughts?

Today may have been the most Jameis Winston game of his career.

🏈 460 passing yards
🏈 4 passing TDs
🏈 Two pick-sixes

My favorite Kyle Shanahan line ever, which was about Rex Grossman, is relevant to Jameis. He keeps both teams in the game.

This has been a sensational Monday Night Football game.

AFC matchup that doesn't mean a ton to me personally. Two harmless teams that are easy enough to root for exchanging blows.

Lots of big plays. Shootout loading.

The Commanders have missed three field goal attempts and two extra points over the last week.

Adam Peters will be spending part of his bye week trying to solve that developing issue.

I think he's now on the Vikings

Green Bay

The Commanders have converted 21 of 24 third-and-one scenarios this season.

Like the Ravens for so many years, they are nearly automatic in short yardage situations because their QB is such a threat to run. Hard to defend the mesh point on read-option stuff.

Chris Rodriguez is 77 rushing attempts into his NFL career and averaging 5.2 a carry.

I'm surprised he hasn't gotten more work with all the time B-Rob has missed. 24 of Rodriguez's 26 rushes this season have come while closing out the NYG and TEN games brilliantly.

Commanders got win they desperately needed.

🏈 Halted 3G losing streak.
🏈 Still 7th WC spot; 2G up on field.
🏈 Now 5-2 at home.
🏈 WSH 'O' bounce-back: 456 Yds, 42 Pts
🏈 JD-5 strong: 25/30, 206 Yds, 4 total TD.

Kingsbury, Daniels & crew needed today and got it.
