The Commanders just lost to a Giants team QB'd by a third-stringer who was undrafted out of college this spring.

- They're 4-7.
- They're 0-4 in division.
- They're 1-4 at home.
- They've lost 7 of their last 9.
- On way to 4th straight losing season under Rivera.

Wow! My Washington Commanders turned the ball over six times today and gave the Giants 24 points off turnovers. We lost 31-19.

Black Monday. Coming to a theatre near you. Been there. Done that.

Coach I know you’ve been through it. There is absolutely no way that Coach Rivera can keep his job after this performance. Finishing out the season will do nothing but kill the locker room morale.

Agree. Problem is who do u hire?

Sam Howell on hearing fans call for coaching changes: "We don't really pay attention to stuff like that. I have faith in all my players and all my coaches around me....We've just got to fix it and it starts with me."

The good news for Commanders fans:

Their eventual GM and HC openings are going to be highly sought-after gigs for the 1st time in a long time. New owners, $90M in cap space, 3 picks in Top-40, 5 picks in Top-100, possible QB to build around. DC is a destination GM/HC job again.

I really feel for @commanders fans. They were told to pack the stadium this year and support the team. The product on the field doesn’t give a lot to be excited about. Don’t expect changes with a game against Dallas in four days, but it sure seems warranted if they do lose today.

NFL coaches are judged by wins and losses. That's the reality.

I asked Commanders head coach Ron Rivera how he can defend where this team is at in year number 4 of his tenure.

He told me, "if I answer a question like that then I'm making an excuse." pic.twitter.com/ZaYmeH9bLa

Rivera said they’d look at possible changes on D after another game with big plays. Was talking about personnel.

Jonathan Allen said this team has to “learn how to win.”

So I asked him, how does that happen. pic.twitter.com/2GOOq9dEVU

Sam Cosmi among the many exasperated players postgame: "Yeah, this sucks. This was a winnable game. The fact that we couldn't... I'm at a loss for words."

Terry McLaurin: "We have had a resilient group of guys and a good mix of veteran leadership. You can talk about it, talk about it, talk about it but until you go out there and do it consistently it's not going to be where we want it to be. We're not consistent enough."

In their last 4 home games the Commanders defense has allowed:

37 to the Bills.
40 to the Bears.
38 to the Eagles.
31 to Tommy Devito.

The Seahawks and Vikings, lost today, meaning the Commanders, with a win over NYG, would have been a game back in the loss column from the two current wild-card teams.

Of course, Washington also lost, so...

Giants’ and Commanders’ locker rooms at FedEx Field have no hot water for showers.

A Commanders’ official said: “We had an equipment failure in the main water heater that provides hot water to the field level locker rooms. We can’t resolve the matter without completely shutting…
