The Washington Commanders started this season with a bang. They delivered back-to-back consecutive victories against the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos. However, their spark started to diminish in the later games, as they lost four out of their last five games. This puts the team in a dicey situation because if this continues they would stand in a losing position. Even in their Week 7 matchup, they lost against the New York Giants.
The 3-4 Commanders were in dire straits against 2-5 New York Giants. This was the Giants’ second win of the season, and they managed to secure a 14-7 win. Many people showcased their disappointment with the team, including the co-owner and star defensive lineman of the Commanders also showed disappointment.

The former NBA star Magic Johnson became the co-owner of the Washington Commanders earlier this year. He was pretty excited about this business endeavor that he had stepped his foot into. He even mentioned, “It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my life.” But now, his hopes with the team have begun to shatter. He even made a post on X.
After the Commanders lost an unexpected game, the whole stadium had their heads down in agony. Even, Johnson stated that the team should’ve scored more, as the NFL cannot be won by just scoring seven points. He wrote, “Disappointing 14-7 loss for my Commanders to the NY Giants. It’s hard to win in the NFL when you only score 7 points.”

Jonathan Allen is irritated yet again
The Washington Commanders has never been to the Super Bowl after the 1991 season. The Redskins have been struggling to establish their presence in their league since then. Even the defensive lineman, who was drafted as a first pick in 2017, has voiced out his frustration with his team and how they haven’t been able to perform in the last seven years.
About the loss, he said, “They whooped our a**. Plain and simple.” Then he admitted that the loss on them had nothing to do with their opponent. When asked about his frustration regarding the loss, he lashed out, “I’m f***ing tired of this st. I’m f***ing tired of this bulls**t. It’s been 7 f***ing years of the same st. I’m tired of this s*t.”
