DMV Mess Hall

It's Dallas week—and the rivalry is officially on.We're kicking things off with the details on Rally's first official away-game rally of the season, then asking the question that always gets people fired up: how did so many local fans become Cowboys fans in the first place?On the field, Washington faces a huge test against Dallas' offense. We debate whether Mikey Sainristil brings the ball-hawking 2024 version of himself to Texas—or whether the Philly struggles follow him into this matchup. Plus, after one wild week of football, are the standings actually telling us anything, or are fans already overreacting?Jayden Daniels cannot be expected to play Superman every snap. We talk about what the offense needs to do to help him, and whether Brian Blough's play calling is doing enough to put the young quarterback in position to thrive.Then we close with the latest Commanders stadium renderings. The vision looks big, the excitement is real—but what does “affordable” actually mean when it comes time for fans to buy tickets, parking, food, and everything else that comes with game day?Dallas week. Rivalry week. Let's get into it.

Well… Week 1 certainly gave us plenty to talk about.Rally recaps his trip to Philly, we talk about taking the Commanders +5.5, and remind everyone: Mute and Move On.

DMV Mess Hall — "London Fanzone"On the latest DMV Mess Hall, we're taking a hard look at where the Commanders stand heading into the season.

This week on DMV Mess Hall, we're talking preseason football, injuries, London and everything happening around the Commanders!
