I am certainly pulling for the Commanders' success overall. But selfishly...as a Ravens fan, I would not be not looking forward to the outright embarrassment of the rookie Jayden Daniels getting a ring before Lamar. He would never live that narrative down, smh (at least...not until he finally wins one).

The only team left in the playoffs that can beat the eagles is the Chiefs imo. 
 

The eagles are so good at the other positions that they  don’t need their qb to be great. 
 

The commanders barley beat a Philly team in the regular season without hurts while at home 

You’re joking, right? Good joke

I’m worried Jalen is hurt. Eagles need him to be able to run since he hasn’t been great as a passer this year. I’m a die hard birds fan but this game feels fishy. It’s gonna be tight I wouldn’t touch betting it

Philly will win. I wouldn’t stress if I were you.

If D. Smith doesn’t drop the ball the eagles win twice against the commanders in the regular season.

Good luck to your team. We will show up to play the game, by the way, you’re gonna need it.

Washington can absolutely win if all goes their way. Eagles are the better team in the end tho

Thanks? Seems aggressive. Philly is the better team and expected to win, but GO COMMANDERS!

There is a bit of aggression when you have been bad like we have for 30 years. It’s strange for us to be playing this time of year. Good luck to your team.

Okay, so saying “your team” was weird and came off aggressively because my team is the same as your team. Sorry for any confusion.

[anotherman]

Eagles fan here. The Commanders definitely have a chance. The Eagles are at home but you just never know, especially with a division game. Agree that the Eagles are loaded with talent and should win, but that doesn’t mean they will win.

Me too, it’s been so long since we were good. Excited for our team.

I just bet 125 on the commanders. Everything in my DK account.  If it’s not gonna snow then gambling and drinking are healthy alternatives.

Why would that be embarrassing? How about Daniels getting a ring before Allen or Burrow? Or Goff? Would that be embarrassing for them?

Well, with Lamar it's different because his playoff failures are more glaring and more criticized than the others. And to be fair Burrow and Goff have played IN a SB at least and have a better rolayoff record than Lamar. Allen does too actually...

Here's another young black mobile QB comes and does something in one try that Lamar hasn't done yet? I just feel like it's gonna make him look really bad and his haters are gonna have a field day.

Go Commanders and go Bills!  

Basically 99% of America is rooting for that.

Let em. Who cares. They do anyway. Anyone in the sports media who has any credibility would not use Daniel's early success as evidence Lamar has somehow underachieved. The reason they lost to KC at home last Jan and Buffalo last week are not solely on Lamar. Monkon, Harbaugh. Flowers, a rash of penalties, and last week mostly Andrews were big reasons. Lamar had 2 bad plays the whole game - a misread on an interception that amounted to a punt, and the fumble on a bad snap that he should have just fallen on, and Buffalo scored off that one. He was pretty much spectacular outside of those 2 plays. The Andrews fumble when the Ravens had all the momentum and were driving for a probable go ahead score was THE killer. Game changer. His drop on the 2 point try was bad, but that would have only tied the game. Allen would have had 1:30 and 2 timeouts to make a few plays and set up a game winning field goal.

Also, Hendricks martini time!

The worst matchup would be KC and Philly. We just saw that play out 2 years ago. Boring. I want the Bills to win, but If it ends up KC vs Washington I wouldn't hate it. Love to see them get there for a chance at a 3-peat and lose to an upstart team with a rookie QB.
