Your expectations for 26 season?

[88Commanders00]

The weaknesses in our team, will hinder our efforts against the better teams. I’m leaning to a poor start before we rebound some the second half. We are looking at a Top 10 pick and good chance a completely new regime in 27.

See as an outsider I think your team might struggle a little early but I see you guys as a 10 win team possible wild card. While the Giants IMO will be better they aren't there yet. I also feel either Dallas or Philly will implode just not sure which one it will be.

I expect a 10 point Eagles win but game will be close since it’s week one and a divisional opponent. Say, 23-13 Eagles. They stay a step ahead of us and we can’t overcome that.

My final 2026 Commanders prediction:

W1- 9/13: @ Eagles — We lose by 10 points. : 0-1
W2- 9/20: @ Cowboys — I expect we lose a shootout. : 0-2
W3- 9/27: Seahawks — We lose by 14 points. : 0-3
W4- 10/4: Colts (@ London) — We are flat & Danny Dimes bites us again. : 0-4
W5- 10/11: Giants — Finally, a win. : 1-4
W6- 10/19: @ 49ers- MNF — Another loss. : 1-5
W7- 10/25: Bye
W8- 11/1:Eagles- SNF — Eagles sweep us. : 1-6
W9: 11/8: Rams — Blowout loss. : 1-7
W10- 11/12: @ Giants- TNF — Upset loss. : 1-8

Dan Quinn is fired. Anthony Lynn is named interim coach, since he has previous head coaching experience.

W11- 11/23: Bengals- MNF — Upset Win. : 2-8
W12- 11/29: @ Cardinals — Win: 3-8
W13- 12/6: @ Titans — Win: 4-8
W14- 12/13: Texans — Loss. : 4-9
W15- 12/20: Falcons — Win: 5-9
W16- TBD: Vikings — Win: 6-9
W17- TBD: @ Jaguars — Loss: 6-10
W18- TBD: Cowboys — Win: 7-10

Just an ugly start that leads to Dan’s firing but we rebound some by finishing 6-2, after starting 1-8. We beat Dallas, whether their starters play or not in the finale.

I think AP should go but Josh keeps AP and gives him a second chance and shot at second coaching hire.

I feel you on this one. If we stay relatively healthy (for this team, that's such a big if), I think we sneak one of the first three games for no reason. I think Philly might look past us, so I think we're 1-2 going into the Colts game. That game is such a toss up to me, I have us winning a close one. Beyond that, no one in the NFC(E) is so dominant that I can't see us shitting the bed consistently enough to be nothing less than a wildcard contender. Defense should be improved, we have some better skill players on offense (looking at you Diggs/Williams) so if we keep JD upright, we've got a shot.

AP has lost his luster for me too. He started off SO well and has just trailed off with some questionable moves the past few seasons. Overall, he's fine, but I really thought he was the guy.
