The Washington Commanders came into the season with huge expectations on their shoulders. A sensational run to the NFC Championship game, coupled with an aggressive win-now offseason from general manager Adam Peters, had fans dreaming of lifting the Super Bowl with hope renewed. However, this raised bar hasn't been reached.
Washington currently sits at 3-4 with a brutal stretch of games upcoming. Things are threatening to unravel, and the reporters who said that something felt off about this team during the summer have been vindicated for their skepticism. Injuries haven't helped, but it's clear that Peters needs to adopt a different approach.
