Is it time for Ron Rivera's annual November late-season win streak? The fellas discuss.

We did a whole lot of yelling...Angry rants regarding this week's trades of Montez Sweat (Bears) and Chase Young (49ers) incoming...

Lots of finger pointing going on around the fan base after the humiliating 14-7 road loss in New York. Cliff and Paul try to make sense of the disappointing start.

The Commanders head to East Rutherford, NJ to take on the 1-5 Giants in what is shaping up to be another "can't lose" game for Washington. (Some of) the guys are worried that the road team could come out flat, like they did versus Arizona and Chicago. Some other's think the worry is overblown.

Can we trust the Commanders to handle business in Atlanta versus the Falcons this Sunday fresh off a three-game skid? The guys (well, some of us) are skeptical. But we will discuss how they can pull off the win in the dirty.

After losing three straight, the latest of which was a 20-point loss to the previously winless Bears, we are left with lots of questions and not many answers. Cliff and Paul join up to try and make sense of the Commanders.

Short week, so short memories. Cali Chris (by the way of Va) joins the guys to talk Sam Howell, moral victories and a must win/can't lose game coming on Thursday night vs. the winless Chicago Bears

The guys discuss the trip up 95 North to take on division rival and defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles. How do the Commanders pull off the upset against Philly?

On a rewatch of the 37-3 beatdown from the Bills on Sunday, Cliff and Paul discuss the skinny on what is happening to Sam Howell, Eric Bieniemy and the offense as a whole. And what does this beatdown ultimately mean for the 2023 Commanders?

The guys are back from Denver (shoutout the the good folks in Colorado. The vibes were immaculate). What did we learn from the 35-33 win over the Broncos, besides that a walk-off Hail Mary would raise from blood pressure to dangerous levels?

The guys recap the entire Week One experience. What was the atmosphere like for the first post- game Dan Snyder and how come the Cardinals game was such close call? Then, we preview the inter conference clash against the Denver Broncos, in will be an early must-have for the home team.

A new season/era in Washington kicks off Sunday vs. the tanking Arizona Cardinals.

Dan being out the door doesn't already make this season a wash. It is a pivotal year in Washington with several jobs up for grabs. The guys discuss whats on the line for the 2023 Commanders; namely Josh Harris, Ron Rivera, Eric Bieniemy and Sam Howell.

More like Sauced Harris, the coping from the bammas up North, Sam Howell shines in front of a Nat'l audience, Cole Turner's emergence and should we call the Colts about JT?

A fee items of off the field drama before we talk about the Friday night preseason opener @ the Cleveland Browns.

The guys discuss what we learned on the field during the first week of Commanders training camp. We also touch on the late signings of Bryon Pringle & Michael Badgley, the recent fan resurgence, Don Geronimo and are we still doing this name debate thing forreal?

The boys share their thoughts on the local reaction 72 hours into the post-Snyder area. Then, we dive back in (unfortunately) to the name debate.

One finally farewell from the boys to the worst sports owner in the history of American sports, Daniel Snyder. https://omny.fm/shows/the-kevin-sheehan-show/howard-eskin-warns-commanders-fans-of-josh-harris?in_playlist=podcast

We went through 20 names that could be on the board when the Commanders make their selection at 16. Who do we like, love and hate?

We're back off Podcast vacation just in time to bid bon voyage to Skipper Dan and 25 years of buffoonery.

Urgh

It's starting to feel like 2016 all over again. The dynamic offense is a sight to see but the defense is having its issues once again. Who is responsible and how do we fix it now so they don't tank the season?

The guys kick off their game week slate of shows by talking the ramification if Brian Robinson's absence, the addition of Ryan Kerrigan to the coaching staff and breaking down the defensive personnel. Also, how much rope are we willing to give Jack Del Rio in 2022?

What can we take from just two preseason games? Not much, honestly. But through about a month of training camp, we have had a few players stand out based on expectations. Likewise, some players haven't been as impressive as we would have hoped. Whose stock is up, whose stock is down and who is right where we thought they'd be?

We're back for a new season of Washington Commanders football! Before we get to training camp news and notes, let's catch up with some of the news over the past month. Everything between Danny subpoena dodging, Terry's new contract and the new stadium that wasn't. Then, we talk the 90 man roster. Who steps into the elite category this year? Who makes the leap from after thought to key contributor? Lastly, we talk about the few open positions that are up for grabs.

Who is in? Who is out? Who should we bring back and who can we let test the free agency waters? The guys discuss all things Commanders free agency.

Let's take a closer look at the Commanders newly acquired QB1. Is the hate justified and what are rational expectations of Carson Wentz? Also, what are the ramifications for the rest of the roster now that the Commanders are on the hook for $28 million for Wentz in 2022?

Guess co-host Cali Chris @slimceeVA taps in for Cory & Cliff as we discuss the ramifications of the Carson Wentz trade. What does this mean for the 2022 Commanders, Ron Rivera's future and the state of our QB room?

Ron Rivera said acquiring a franchise QB would be the Commander's top priority this offseason (No shit, Ron).
