The Washington Commanders weren't happy after several calls went against them in the waning moments of their loss to the New York Giants on Sunday night.The Commanders fell victim of not one, but two questionable calls on Sunday night in an eventual loss to the Giants.With the defeat, Washington fell to the No. 7 slot in the NFC Playoff picture, and how hold just a narrow advantage over the likes of the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions.

The refs denied the Washington Commanders the chance to force overtime with the Giants on a miserable missed pass interference call.NFL refs are human.Sometimes too human.If you're a Commanders fan, they're sometimes blind as well.That's the only explanation for the referees not throwing a flag on the decisive play at the end of the game as Washington attempted to tie the game to force overtime.

Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke threw a huge touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel, with an assist from an official who ran into a Minnesota Vikings defender.The Washington Commanders have been on a roll as of late, winning their past three games to bring them back to .500 and two games behind the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants for second-place in the NFC East.

Week 7 of the NFL season continued to bring plenty of surprises.The Carolina Panthers upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 21-3, and Taylor Heinicke led the Washington Commanders to a 23-21 victory over the Green Bay Packers.From a fantasy football perspective, players such as Gus Edwards, Parris Campbell, and Juwan Johnson had big individual games.

The salary breakdown for the last of the Commanders' reported free agency signings has been posted on Over the Cap, along with an update on the team's estimated salary cap position.Abdullah Anderson's contract details
Defensive tackle Abdullah Anderson got a modest contract, but it's a fair bit more than the vet minimum deal that I was expecting.

Yesterday, Bill published his updated look at Washington's depth chart, accounting for all the players currently under contract, including those recently re-signed to low end deals - primarily back-of-the-roster guys.With the "legal tampering' process opening up tomorrow, and full-fledged free agency starting on Wednesday, I thought it seemed like a great time to scour through the players currently on the roster, and identify the spots most easily upgraded through free agency and the draft over the next couple of months.

Patriots The receiver's contract reportedly might not be as pricey as originally expected.The clock is ticking on the Patriots to reach a deal with their leading receiver before he becomes a free agent.Jakobi Meyers and the Patriots have been in talks for a new deal, however, they haven't made much progress and he's expected to hit free agency, ESPN's Dan Graziano reported Sunday.

The Washington Commanders are on the field again for the first day of mandatory mini-camp.Chase Young, Montez Sweat, and Charles Leno, Jr. have rejoined the team for on field activities and team drills after not participating during OTAs.Kam Curl continues to attend offseason activities, but is not participating in team drills while seeking a new contract.

For the past couple of years now, I've been doing an annual look back at the injury numbers for Washington at the end of each season.I had originally hoped that with the arrival of Ryan Vermillion before the 2020 season, we would see an improvement in Washington's games lost to injury, and things did improve from 2019 to 2020, if only because they hardly could have gotten worse.

The draft has come and gone and as usual, the Commanders had a needs draft.Unfortunately, those needs were not all met with the seven picks they used, still leaving some holes on the current roster.There is no doubt some veterans will be released in the coming days/weeks, and that should free up some cash, and roster spots, for Ron Rivera and company to add some veteran talent to the roster.
