"Just when Quinn thought the tide might be turning for his squad, they fluffed their lines in the most embarrassing way imaginable. His "we were lost, but we're not lost anymore" locker room speech that found its way onto HBO docuseries Hard Knocks came back to haunt him. And now, the Commanders have lost eight straight with a top-five draft pick firmly in the team's grasp."
"However, this inept showing against the Vikings, who'd only won four games this season before the Commanders gifted them another, couldn't be seen as anything other than several steps back. "Oftentimes you stand here after a loss and you try to find something good that you want to point to. But tonight, honestly, I (can't). ... Tonight, to me, none of it was acceptable. Baffling, frustrating, enraged, all of that comes into play.""
The Washington Commanders suffered an embarrassing blowout loss to the Minnesota Vikings, extending their losing streak to eight games and cementing a top-five draft pick. Coach Dan Quinn expressed anger, disbelief, and disappointment, calling the performance unacceptable and saying he could not find anything positive to point to. Players appeared unmotivated, unprepared, and devoid of the spark from last season’s NFC Championship run. Previous optimism after a close overtime loss to the Broncos proved premature. The defeat amplified concerns about coaching, execution, culture, and potential consequences if the team does not improve soon.
