In a game that could have substantial consequences in the NFC East, the Washington Commanders fall to the Los Angeles Rams 20-13.

The game was more of a defensive struggle between the two teams and more of a conservative play with short passes and log drives leading to scores.

However the same issues plague the Commanders undisciplined line play and inconsistent running and passing game.

The Commanders couldn’t convert a 4th and 17 yard conversion turning the ball over downs.

The Commanders have the ball with 50 seconds left  in the game get a big 45 yard  gain with the Rams getting called for offside penalty.

The Rams defense was able get pressure and stop the last plays from the Commanders in the last remaining seconds of the game.

The Commanders record fall to 2 5 and 1 and have a rematch with the division leading New York Giants which determine the teams outcome in their hunt in the playoffs.

Trade deadline coming up this Tuesday.. What’s next?

Wow should we not be surprised by now. We thought that  the San Fransico 49ers with a 5-0 record would prevail, but not like this.

The 49ers just had their way with Commanders and scored almost effortlessly in the      1st half.

The Commanders rallied back scoring 14 unanswered points in the third and 4th quarters.

Now it was the 49ers turn for committing penalties benefitting the Commanders.

A thrilling comeback, but unfortunately the Commanders fall to the 49ers in a valiant effort.

However a problem is still poor and undisciplined line play especially with the offense line committing too many offensive penalties,.

Who is the offensive line coach? They need to be scrutinized.

How this does bode for this team and for the head coach, Dan Quinn.

Is his seat for Head Coach warming up?

Time for a break now after this game… fortunately

Wow what a great return for Jayden Daniels returning starting in home field game after another injury. He showed flashes of the 2024 Daniels looking like he was going to carry the Washington Commanders on his back defeating the surprisingly first place New York Giants and stopping their losing streak…

Well that didn’t happen… What happened?

The same thing we here in the Grooveisphere have noticed and called out all season and before pre-season as a ever growing problem.

PEANALITIES dumb-A$$ PEANALITIES. Those all the hallmarks of an undisciplined coached team.

These penalties have caused them points and field position.

The results.. a team you were beating and had on the ropes for a victory you let them come back.

As good as Jayden Daniels performance was you should have schooled him about OT games, sudden death, and clock management instead of letting the clock run out while you guys on the Giants 24 yard line and could have scored the winning field goal.

It’s called “spiking” the ball to stop the clock.

YEESH! Inexcusable…….

We’ll see what the next game brings…. Up next on MNF the Commanders vs. the 49ers
