Best Twitter reactions from Commanders’ preseason loss to Chiefs

Carson Wentz? Jack Del Rio? Washington’s defense? Some of the best Twitter reactions from Washington’s loss to the Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Washington Commanders 24-14 in week two of NFL preseason action. When Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes departed the game midway through the second quarter, the Chiefs led the Commanders 14-0.

Washington didn’t get on the scoreboard until seconds were left in the first half when backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke led an impressive 11-play, 84-yard drive that ended with a touchdown pass to wide receiver Cam Sims.

Washington’s first-team offense did some good things with quarterback Carson Wentz but couldn’t sustain drives. One specific play — his last — will haunt Wentz and led to plenty of “I told you so’s” on Twitter from all of the social media GMs.

Speaking of Twitter, there were plenty of jokes on Washington’s defense and coordinator Jack Del Rio. Here are some of the best Twitter reactions from Washington’s loss to the Chiefs.

Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen asked fans on Twitter to “ask me anything” in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. For the most part, Allen provided detailed and insightful answers.

Of course, the headline will be the “Hitler” tweet, which Allen quickly apologized for. However, Allen answered a variety of questions, from his favorite pass-rush move to the former Washington player he’s gotten to know the best since entering the NFL in 2017.

The hump move is Allen’s favorite pass-rush move, and Lavar Arrington is the former Washington standout he’s gotten to know the best.

And yes, the subject of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson did come up — at least three times. If you were wondering why Allen has been linked to Wilson so much in the last week, the two players took a photo together at the Pro Bowl with their wives.

Allen explained the photo:

Another fan asked if Wilson was coming to Washington. Of course, Allen isn’t the general manager, and Wilson is under contract with the Seattle Seahawks, but the star defender still answered the question:

Allen would certainly welcome Wilson to the Commanders:

It doesn’t get any better than 1,000%.

Allen’s chat with fans was entertaining. He likes the new team name, and the black alternate jersey is his favorite.

Twitter reacts to Washington’s new name.

In case you haven’t heard, the Washington Football Team is now the Washington Commanders.

The name was expected with various leaks and Washington franchise legend Joe Theismann talking about the name on a Monday radio show. Theismann later backtracked. Then, on Tuesday night, an NBC helicopter spotted a Commanders’ logo at FedEx Field.

Owners Dan and Tanya Snyder spoke at Washington’s media event Wednesday morning, with Dan Snyder even joking about it being the worst-kept secret in Washington.

So how did the fans react to the reveal? As you might expect, most hate it, but everyone hates everything on social media.
