A collection of postgame quotes after the Commanders’ 42-14 win.

On Sunday, the Washington Commanders defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 42-14 to improve to 3-1. Here is a collection of postgame quotes from players, former players/analysts, and coaches.

“This team is still going to get better, and they are led by the right man as a coach and the right guy as a quarterback.”  Brian Mitchell

“It’s great to see the team go out there and not only win but win in the fashion they are winning in. They are playing a complete game; it’s great to see that.”  Santana Moss

“You watch Brian (Robinson) out there, he runs violently. Guys were hitting him, and he was driving them back four yards, and they got up talking trash. I’m like, ‘Fool, you just got run over.'”  Brian Mitchell

“We talked about it coming into the season; I said this is B-Rob’s year. I love seeing what I am seeing.”  Santana Moss

“Tonight, I really thought it was cool to see Burgundy and Gold in the crowd…I felt their presence, and it was really cool.”  Dan Quinn

“A quick shout out to the big guys. To have a big rushing performance with over 200 yards and no sacks. That is a big guy’s kind of day.” Dan Quinn

“We’ve established that different guys in different roles and they have come through. O.Z (Zaccheaus) really had some big pickups today.”  Dan Quinn

“You got to nail the moments when they are there…got to tip my hat to Joe (Whitton) and the staff where it’s been a hard few weeks for them. I told them they were closer than they thought. (The defense getting some very good 3rd down stops.)  Dan Quinn

“Keep him in there, don’t let him roll to the right, and that is what we did. Take his throwing ability away when he is trying to scramble.”  Dorance Armstrong on defending/rushing Kyler Murray

“We still have room to grow. We are not a finished product at all.” Jayden Daniels on the offensive success

“Those guys do a good job of getting open, knowing the timing and depth of the routes, so it’s awesome working with them.”  Jayden Daniels on Commanders’ receivers group

“You don’t want to throw a pic at all. But, that’s football, things happen. You are going to have a pic, have a turnover, but how can you bounce back, limit those, and keep moving forward?’  Jayden Davis on throwing his first interception.

“Obviously, it’s early in the season, so we’ll have to finish the year. I can’t put anything on it. But I know teams look at us and say, “Hey, those guys play hard. It’s always good to go back home with a win. Now, we are on to the Browns.”  Jayden Daniels

Exiting the field, entering the tunnel, “You like that!”  Cornelius Lucas

“For a rookie quarterback, does the guy ever make a bad decision? It’s unbelievable. Every ball is on the money.”  Chris Simms, NBC SNF

The Commanders return home to face the Cleveland Browns in Week 5.

What everyone said after the Commanders’ Week 3 win vs. Bengals

What everyone was saying after the Commanders’ win over the Bengals.

Monday, the Washington Commanders defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 38-33 in Cincinnati, as Jayden Daniels completed 91% of his passes.

Here are some selected postgame quotes regarding the Commanders’ exciting win.

“A lot of guys say things in the NFL. I don’t think we took it personal in the sense that we gotta go prove these guys wrong. You know, probably Kliff felt some type of way. I know DQ might have mentioned it a little bit. You want to have your coaches’ back. You want to have your teammates’ back.” Terry McLaurin on Cam Taylor-Britt’s “a nice college offense” comment last week.

“I don’t regret it,” Taylor-Britt said. “I didn’t mean anything malicious out of the comment. It was made bigger than it was. Yes, I can eat my words, most definitely. We did take an L today.”  Cam Taylor-Britt last said.

“For us to come out here and win a game that probably a lot of people didn’t have us winning, that says a lot about our resiliency and what we are building here.”  Terry McLaurin

“I advocated for the Chicago Bears to hire BOTH Dan Quinn and Kliff Kingsbury this past offseason. That’s what I’m pissed about.” Ryan Woodall, writer Bears Nation Chicago

“Listen to me. We have a quarterback. That young man can play, and we have a kicker too.” Brian Mitchell

“The guys came out here and fought hard. Monday Night Football, prime time, prime time players. Honestly, I’m ecstatic about the vibe, the feeling of seeing these guys come out here, I heard so many people doubting them. They got the W.”  Santana Moss

“He’s a really cool customer. There’s a real poise about him…His ability when to, when not to use his legs. We’ve seen a lot of this in practice. Now it’s carrying over into the games.”  Dan Quinn on Jayden Daniels

“I thought Kliff (Kingsbury) called a great game. All week, all the different looks we would have to go through, especially as we got down into the red zone. We knew the third down and red zone would be a really big part of this. He and the staff had a real clear understanding of what we would have to do.” Dan Quinn

“I think I probably got more sleep today than I have the last couple of months. I was feeling excited, locked and loaded.” Luke McCaffrey

“It’s awesome to see the maturity, the poise he has in the huddle, in the moment, in every single opportunity. He is just calm, ready, prepared. It is just awesome.” Luke McCaffrey on Jayden Daniels

“It was time for him (Terry McLaurin) to make those plays. It wasn’t happening for me, so you know 17 was going to step up and make a play. I am happy to see him get involved. Like I said, for me it was a ground and pound night. I am just happy to get the win.” Brian Robinson Jr.

“I went up during the timeout and to Kliff and said, ‘Give me a go route to the boundary for the game. I went up to Kliff and Jayden and said throw me this ball for the game. For them to have that kind of trust in me, I think that’s maybe one of the first times in my career, the game is on the line, I got to call the play and we executed it at a very high level.”  Terry McLaurin

“Terry said, trust me, and, that’s what we did, I trusted him.” Jayden Daniels

“We are going to face some adversity. It is not going to be smooth sailing from the jump. There are going to be ups and downs. But, stay even keel, keep working, keep improving.”  Jayden Daniels

Postgame quotes after Commanders’ disappointing loss to Bucs

Several postgame quotes after the Commanders’ loss to the Bucs.

Sunday’s Commanders’ 37-20 loss was disappointing and worse than the score. Here are some postgame quotes:

“You need to struggle to see the identity develop. You don’t want it. But you need it. That happened tonight.” Dan Quinn

“I’m a hard grader. We didn’t win.”  Jayden Daniels

“If the Dotson trade wasn’t enough of a reminder, this Commanders team was real bad last year and has serious work to do before they’re competitive again. Management knows this. There are definite questions/problems from this game, but talent-wise, they’re years behind.”  JP Finlay of NBC Washington.

“The guys here believe in him because of the work he has put in. They love this guy, what he stands for as a competitor, as a teammate…” Dan Quinn on Jayden Daniels

Cade York missed two field goals and errantly kicked off once out of bounds. Quinn was asked postgame if this meant there would be kicker tryouts. “We’ll have a good talk about that and see where we’re at.”  Dan Quinn

“You can’t expect him to go out there and do everything right. He is a rookie. He is still learning how to play the NFL game. But I think today he passed. He gets another chance to go next week and begin to take another step forward.” Brian Mitchell on Jayden Daniels

“I think third down, if I had to look back on it right now, that was the biggest and certainly the story of the game. So, a lot to work on. Tampa was the better team today.”  Dan Quinn

“You need to struggle to see the identity develop. You don’t want it. But you do need it. That part is hard, and that struggle happened tonight. We’ll take these lessons and we will work on them.” Dan Quinn

“I missed Terry (McLaurin). That is one I wish I could have back. But, it is a long season. We’re going to hit a couple of those. But Tampa did a good job with their scheme.” Jayden Daniels

“You have to crawl before you walk. This team had to show us something. They showed it today, and they go from there, watch themselves on film, and come out with a better solution next time.”  Santana Moss

No, they are not where we want them to be. But you know what? Nothing ever starts out where you want it to be. You have to work towards it, and I believe they will put in the work.” Brian Mitchell

“I’m sure a lot of people are down on us after this game…But I don’t think anyone is panicking. The only thing this means is we’re not going undefeated. The [1972] Miami Dolphins are safe from us…. We have to keep getting better.”  TE Zach Ertz

 

 

Commanders postgame quotes after Week 4 overtime loss

Some quotes from Ron Rivera, Sam Howell and former players covering the team.

Washington went to Philadelphia, and scored on the last play of regulation but later fell 34-31 in overtime to the Eagles.

Here are some post-game quotes.

“Oh my gosh! It was such a good football game. I loved the composure the resiliency of the football team. This is who the team is. To have this kind of character, to be able to put that drive together at the end (of regulation), was a fantastic job. Even though it is a loss, there are a lot of exciting things I think this team can build on moving forward.” Logan Paulsen

“I’m not big on moral victories, but our team should hold their head up and feel great about their performance, knowing they can go out there and compete with anybody.” Santana Moss

“There were moments they were playing outstanding football. Then you look at moments, and they seemed a little lost. You have to play a whole football game. We cannot sleep-walk through a football game.” Brian Mitchell

“That third quarter was where our Achilles Heel was at (today).” Santana Moss

“I believe this team can play…Then that third quarter…they slept through the third quarter.” Brian Mitchell

“First of all, it was a hell of a performance by Sam… (he) bounced back. He learned from last week. He grew. It was reflected in the way he played, in the way he led our offense. There are a lot of positive things we are going to take from that.”  Ron Rivera on Sam Howell.

“I don’t believe in moral victories. We lost a game we felt we should have won.”  Sam Howell

“That’s a Hell of a football team we played out there. But I think we have a Hell of a football team in this locker room.” Ron Rivera

“Yes, it’s a tough loss for us. Definitely a game we felt like we should have won, we were capable of winning. But I am proud of the guys how we fought until the end.” Sam Howell

“Our guys came and played their asses off. They deserve some credit. We are going to learn something from this.” Ron Rivera

“I think I did some good things out there. But at the end of the day, we didn’t win. It’s my job to win football games for this organization, and we didn’t do that today.” Sam Howell

“They (Eagles) picked on the young guy today (Emmanuel Forbes).  I expect him to bounce back next week. Hopefully, he learns. Experience is a tough teacher. But that is the kind of stuff he needs. He needs to understand how important it is to do his job the way it is being coached.”  Ron Rivera
