"This represented a prime opportunity for Commanders fans to wallow even further in self-pity over their flourishing rejects. This was especially apparent in a Sunday Night Football matchup in which the Los Angeles Rams dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kamren Curl, who the Commanders never should have let walk, and Emmanuel Forbes Jr., who has been an improbable redemption story, have been key contributors for a Los Angeles team that's 9-2 and might be the Super Bowl favorite. But the biggest one that got away remains their head coach."
"For all of the bad decisions that have infamously haunted Washington's NFL franchise in the past 25 years - the Albert Haynesworth contract, letting Kirk Cousins walk, drafting Forbes over Christian Gonzalez, to name a few - the most costly blunder of all was one they were never going to get right. But boy, do you wish they could have in hindsight."
"Commanders would look a lot different with Sean McVay at the helm, but the stars didn't align Sean McVay was on Washington's staff from 2010 to 2016, serving as the offensive coordinator for the final three years under Jay Gruden. He was hired away by Los Angeles in 2017, where he has cemented himself as the most untouchable head coach in the NFL."
The Washington Commanders had a bye in Week 12, offering relief after a catastrophic season start while other NFL teams played. The Los Angeles Rams dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, spotlighting former Commanders Kamren Curl and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. as key contributors to a 9-2 Rams team. Washington has made numerous costly personnel and draft errors over 25 years, but failing to retain or hire Sean McVay stands out as the most consequential. McVay served on Washington's staff from 2010 to 2016, became the Rams head coach in 2017 at age 30, and has since excelled in scheme and player development.
