All aTwitter: 21 November 2023 - Ron Rivera: ‘You can’t lose your focus on what the task is...it’s to win the game’

Former Arizona Wildcat DE Jalen Harris has signed with the Washington Commanders.

Commanders have activated Cody Barton's 21-day window to return from IR. Coach Rivera also says Efe Obada had surgery on his injured leg last night and will be heading to season-ending injured reserve.

This is the confusing part. Since 2020, the Giants are 5-2-1 vs. Washington and 17-36 vs. everyone else.

The word "culture" has been used a lot from Commanders head coach Ron Rivera over the last couple of weeks.

I think there is a disconnect between what Ron thinks a good culture is about vs. what the fans think of a good culture (winning)

Ron Rivera has previously said that, in his dual roles, he'll do what's right for the organization. I asked him what that means at 4-7 with six regular-season games remaining? pic.twitter.com/Bk7om4Laan

Ron Rivera's comments on maturity and celebration seemed to me obviously pointed at CBs Benjamin St-Juste and Emmanuel Forbes. They're the most consistent celebrators. Here are a few examples. pic.twitter.com/JqylR60zfl

Shot play out of 13p wasn't a bad idea. It worked out for Washington and they got Dyami behind the defense for a 1 on 1 situation. I've been consistent in saying throughout the season, it boggles my mind how Howell and his WRs can't connect deep to save their life when these… pic.twitter.com/zACP0uvi7f

I’ll say it again, losing Coach Chris Harris was MASSIVE. #HTTC https://t.co/BJuovqD5wK

* I think basically every Commanders fan believes the team is better off losing than winning at this point

* I think almost no commanders fan believes Ron Rivera is improving this team’s chances to win

* Ergo …. Why would you make a change?

...yeah, I see a lot of "I told you so" today about Chase Young. But what are you really telling me? He got a sack. Good for him. He will have more because he has talent. But while folks are breaking their arm patting themselves on the back, they don't realize that you… https://t.co/DoS7WD1FXC

Just to show you what losing does to fans we have #Commanders fans bitching because Chase Young had one sack a day after Washingon had nine sacks as a team

Probably still be true if we won but it's funny to me#HTTC

The NFL is suspending #Broncos safety Kareem Jackson for four games for repeated violations of the player safety rules after his hit on Joshua Dobbs on Sunday night.

It’s the second suspension this season for Jackson. pic.twitter.com/etDbTSuIVb

A frustrated Brandon Staley on if he'll continue to call the #Chargers defense:

NFL coaches are able to communicate with a player through their headset until 15 seconds are left on the play clock.

The term Black Friday started because the employees of the retails stores dreaded the day-after-Thanksgiving shopping crowds. That context makes the 2023 Jets the ideal team to play on Black Friday.

The #Chiefs have been shutout in the 2nd half in three straight games.

Week 8: 0 points vs. the Broncos
Week 9: 0 points vs. the Dolphins
Week 10: Bye Week
11: 0 points vs. the Eagles

The last time Kansas City scored in the second half was on October 22, nearly a month ago. https://t.co/iZ6D2RKZJY

After having been sacked 5 times in the first half, Jalen Hurts and the @Eagles opted for a quicker passing game. The Chiefs pressured Hurts only once in the second half.
