Why is everyone, all of a sudden, so down on the 2026 Washington Commanders? In recent days, several in the national media have predicted that the Commanders will finish last in the NFC East this upcoming season. Yes, that's right, even behind the New York Giants.
The doubts began when left tackle Laremy Tunsil tore his triceps on Aug. 8. However, the script really turned against the Commanders after their joint practice with the Ravens. And when one national **** yst jumps in with a "bold prediction," it becomes a trend. Picking Washington to finish last in the NFC East is apparently the new thing to do.
On a recent edition of "First Things First," all three hosts apparently saw Nicki Jhabvala's X post on Aug. 26, where she called the Commanders' offensive line "inoperable" during the joint practice with the Ravens. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Danny Parkins all picked Washington last.
"I don't like their weapons. The offensive line is banged up. They have a bad defense," Wright said.
It doesn't sound like Wright knows what he's talking about. Why? How does he know the defense is bad? Could it be bad? Absolutely. Do we know that it's bad? No. Washington made a serious financial investment on that side of the ball this offseason and hired Brian Flores' top lieutenant, Daronte Jones, as the new defensive coordinator.
