Extreme Commanders

The schedule is out so are you all ready to predict how many games we will actually win?

Last year we went 12-5. This year I don't expect them to do the same. This year they will go 14-3 instead.

Alas, the software this board runs only allows 10 options. Maybe that is a good thing since Ron and Co. is no longer and we no longer need to select anything lower anyway.

Enjoy!

My First 2025 prediction for Commanders

Week 1: Sept. 7 vs. New York Giants — W: 1-0
Week 2: Sept. 11 at Green Bay Packers (TNF) — L: 1-1
Week 3: Sept. 21 Las Vegas Raiders — W: 2-1
Week 4: Sept. 28 at Atlanta Falcons — W: 3-1
Week 5: Oct. 5 at Los Angeles Chargers — L: 3-2
Week 6: Oct. 13 vs. Chicago Bears (MNF) — W: 4-2
Week 7: Oct. 19 at Dallas Cowboys — L: 4-3
Week 8: Oct. 27 at Kansas City Chiefs (MNF) — L: 4-4
Week 9: Nov. 2 Seattle Seahawks (SNF) — W: 5-4
Week 10: Nov. 9 vs. Detroit Lions — W: 6-4
Week 11: Nov. 16 at Miami Dolphins (Madrid) — W: 7-4
Week 12: Bye
Week 13: Nov. 30 vs. Denver Broncos (SNF) — W: 8-4
Week 14: Dec. 7 at Minnesota Vikings — W: 9-4
Week 15: Dec. 14 at Giants — W: 10-4
Week 16: Dec. 20 vs. Philadelphia Eagles — W: 11-4

I’m not old enough to be a commanders fan who experienced sustained success and I’m worried out a sophmore slump. Still, Jayden and the team have the raw talent to overcome enough adversity to still get a winning season, but in the end the bigger brother Eagles knocked us out of the playoffs for the second straight season.

13-4. Two home losses. Two road losses. 4-2 division record. We lose to at least one team that has us going "wtf" but also have at least one or two wins where everyone thinks we're gonna lose.

i went with 10-7. that would STILL be a successful season, but there would be lots of disappointment and fans doing headers off building on K-street. Transitioning to success is rarely monotonic, I expect some remaining hiccups as this franchise continues the shift out of the Snyder-sewer - that stench was on EVERYTHING. in addition, quick success breeds arrogance and imprudent rushing/corner-cutting/risk-taking.

a solid foundation and an upward trajectory (smoothed for short-term blips) is what i am looking for and happy to see.

(I wish this forum was old enough that we could re-read the wrist-slashing/burn-it-all-down posts following the November loss to the Cowboys, to cap a three-game skid. The world was OVER--- nuked straight down to ashes.)

I went with 10-7. I'm cautiously optimistic about this season, but we have some very tough games on our schedule. Of course, a lot of this depends on whether our defense improves and if our new weapons + protection on offense help to unlock it even more. Teams will now have much more tape on JD and have had time to digest it, but knowing his work ethic, I don't think it will result in a sophomore slump.

Incidentally, nfl.com analytics has us at 10.2 wins.

Yeah to be honest it wouldn't shock me if we were actually a better team but finished with a worst record. We won a ton of close games last year and one score games tend to be volatile (if you win a lot one year you tend to lose em the next year and vice versa). But if Daniels is healthy, we're basically a lock for 10+ wins. An elite QB essentially guarantees an above .500 record. The Bengals had maybe the worst D in history and still managed 9 wins.

NFL teams can have swingy records but QB play tends to be the great stabilizer/equalizer. So instead of predicting team results, just look at the QB. If the QB is good, the team will probably at least be pretty good. We went from 4-13 to 12-5 because we went from bottom 5 QB to top 5.
