Misery Index · Despair
Commanders fans are mourning a season that died in October, with JD5 hurt and Robbie Chosen as the lifeboat.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Down 22-44 in Dallas, the night cracked open on the first drive when D.Prescott found C.Lamb for 74 yards, and the secondary never recovered — G.Pickens added 44 more behind M.Lattimore before halftime. J.Daniels did his part (the C.Moore 44-yarder, the Z.Ertz touchdown, even a J.Williams safety to claw back), but a defense built around Kinlaw and little else has no answer for any of this, and the prime-time slate isn't getting easier.

“It’s sad, we have so many prime time games cuz everyone thought we’d be good. Brady seems to really want to love our team. But we have nothing to show”

u/DCSports101▲ 43despair

“JD5 masked massive holes last year and gave us unrealistic expectations. Our team is still not great.”
u/WolfColaExecutiveVP▲ 142frustration
“Just let JD sit the rest of this game. Even if we scored this defense couldn’t stop a D2 team”

“Damn we were riding high after the Chargers game and now the season is over in October. Life comes at you fast.”
u/Flamzam▲ 22despair
“Everyone who has any trade value needs to be on the trade block. This team isn't winning anything anytime soon.”
u/Quirky-Marsupial-420▲ 57frustration
“Going into the season, this team thought they could compete with the Eagles and make a Suoer Bowl run. At this point, finishing .500 would be a moral victory.”

“It feels terrible to give up on the season in October lol, but it doesn’t seem like this team is remotely able to compete.”
