The Washington Commanders were supposed to be better than this. Yes, they had a first-year full-time starting quarterback in Sam Howell, but there’s simply too much talent on this team to have a losing record. Yet, after a dispiriting 14-7 loss to the New York Giants Sunday, that’s precisely where the Commanders stand.
We are almost halfway through the 2023 season, and Washington possesses a losing 3-4 record.
For vested star veterans like defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, this sort of futility will simply not stand anymore. Not that it should, anyway. In a video courtesy of NBC4’s JP Finlay, an angry and frustrated Allen erupted in a (correct) rant about everything his Commanders do poorly — which hasn’t really changed in his seven years in the NFL.

Oh my goodness. I mean, nothing Allen says there is inherently incorrect. He might have added a little bit of “spice” to his rant, but it’s all valid. No one quite gets in the Commanders’ way like the Commanders themselves. Allen has experienced one winning season since he entered the NFL in 2016.
No wonder he’s fed up.
