There’s not a single one of us that thought Gay had a snowballs chance in hell of making it.

The season from hell. https://t.co/xNqJOtzjyG

Gotta release Matt Gay ASAP. He doesn’t deserve to be on an NFL roster.

— Mark Tyler (Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) November 16, 2025

The Commanders have a lot of issues but kicker is near the top of them. Matt Gay just simply isn’t good enough

Broadcast crew kept saying "now that they're in FG range" and I'm like who's in FG range?

— Ben Rogers (@flashingleather) November 16, 2025

The Commanders’ defense had 3 sacks and a pair of goal-line stands. This loss is on the offense and special teams. A muffed punt, two missed FGs, an interception in overtime and 0-3 in the red zone.

Quick thoughts after the Commanders' OT loss.

DEF was better; on field less.
-2 in turnovers; 0 takeaways
2 goal line stand were huge
3 sacks all came on 3rd down to kill drives

Mariota was good prior to killer INT in OT
Deebo's best game in weeks: 7-74-TD…

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 16, 2025

This loss was way more competitive than the previous 5 and yet this one somehow feels worse.

Dolphins are not good. They played not good. Miami did everything they could to lose. And Washington just kept handing them the game over and over.

Infuriating setback.

"I guess we just found a way to lose"

-Sam Cosmi to @JPFinlayNBCS after #Commanders loss to Miami, their 6th straight L

Sam Cosmi (right of the center) briefly left the game with an injury. Sounds like he wasn't happy about the play postgame. He gets pulled back by a Dolphin defender while engaged in the scrum. pic.twitter.com/WcXfKnAbqi

Sam Cosmi when asked about the play that led him to come out of the game: "Something happened on that play. I'm going to send it in. It wasn't a very, uh, friendly play from one of the opponents."

TE Zach Ertz said "I'm going to walk in if I don't slip like that..a play I've ran probably 10,000 times in my career and never slipped like that. The footing was a little challenging at times.
The field "was not ideal. …a lot of slippage. But you can't blame it on the field."

Dan Quinn said they won’t have an update to what injured players will be back until after the bye week

There were 4 or 5 particularly devastating plays for the Commanders today. This one is hard to shake.

Huge defensive stand. You’re getting the ball with good field position and 4 minutes to play. Just a brutal turnover. pic.twitter.com/b7IyBzdjtJ

Marcus Mariota said he suffered a stinger "down his right side," leading to getting checked out in the blue tent.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) November 16, 2025

I feel awful saying this because I love Mike Sainristil as a dude (and as a player for that matter).

There's been no bigger regression or larger disappointment this season than the step backwards he has taken. I still feel good about his future but his 2024 and 2025 seasons are…

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 16, 2025

It sure does. And a win away from the Super Bowl a season ago. Time moves pretty fast in the NFL. https://t.co/dyJIKIqbV1

The #Eagles were called for a false start on a tush-push attempt….

And of course…. there wasn't a false start.

That should've been on the defense. pic.twitter.com/zakxTIRvxC

Referee Bill Vinovich said in a pool report the officials did not see Ja'Marr Chase spit at Jalen Ramsey, as Ramsey claimed. The NFL is expected to review Ramey's claim. Chase could be facing a one-game suspension, based on the precedent from the Jalen Carter spitting incident.
