We Have Half of the Worst-Case Super Bowl Scenario

Fly Eagles, Fly, I guess.

The Commanders came out strong with that opening drive taking off 7 minutes to keep Saquon on the sidelines - I'll get to him in a minute - but why on EARTH wouldn't Dan Quinn go for it on fourth down again in that situation? I get it, you want the points, but this is do or die now. Especially against this Eagles offense.

Being a Giants fan this pains me to say, but Saquon is inevitable. That guy is so damn good at football and the incompetence of the Giants' front office over the last 10 seasons shows how incredible this guy truly could be with an offensive line like Philly has. Taking a 60+ yard run to the house for the opening offensive play for the Eagles really set the tone for this game and it was all gas, no breaks from that point on - didn't really help that the Commanders special teams are, well, "special", let's just say that.

But man does Dan Quinn have some brass ones going for the fake punt in that situation. What a damn throw by a rookie PUNTER in Tress Way. Absolute fricken dime to Sinnot for 20 yards on fourth and long. Electric.

This play and the Jalen Hurts bomb to AJ Brown on fourth down brought me back to my ultimate frisbee playing days in college. We used to have "up calls" on defense when a deep pass was made, where we would all yell "UP!!!!" so that every defender could turn their head and look for the deep ball to defend it. The NFL absolutely HAS to have something like this right? I mean this happens at least three times a game and could easily be an interception almost every time. But no, instead the Eagles convert, but hey, at least Jake Elliott sucks and misses again.

Oh and can we talk about the very unnecessary ricochet shot that Brady made about the Jets with the butt fumble comment? Man, that guy just beats the heck out of the Jets every chance he gets huh?

One thing is for damn sure, every single return man on that Commanders team needs to be fired immediately - and throw Dyami Brown in there too. How on earth do you fumble the ball there? Just can't let it happen. Not in this game.

Although the Commander's defense showed up right out the gate in the second half, it doesn't seem like they could have done anything with that crowd noise and Eagle's D-line. Not only that but Philly's offense is a WAGON.

No one on the Commanders wanted to hold onto the ball today. Absolutely absurd - three fumbles? In the NFC Championship game? You gotta be kidding me.

I think PFT's face really says it for all Commanders fans after this one.

The goal line jumps in the fourth by Washington, and the ref being able to award a score for that? Yeah let's make this a ref show. That's some bull if I've ever heard it. The parenting equivalent of "if you don't stop then your brother gets to keep the toy". This is the NFL, if the refs literally EVER give anyone a touchdown for too many penalties, the entire league should be disbanded (not really I fucking love football). But seriously, if that's a thing, we should just let the coin flip decide the game. Trash rule.

Either way, the Eagles offense is insane. This game was never really close at all. Hurts and Saquon both with three touchdowns, and it didn't even seem like they were really trying at all.

This second half is going to be having Commanders fans saying one thing:

But hey, can't take away the first season that they had with new ownership and not only that, but Jayden Daniels rocks.

Philly is dangerous, and I absolutely hate them, but if we get the second half of this Worst-Case-Scenario Bowl, I'm bringing out my Saquon jersey and will be the biggest Eagles fan ever. No one wants to see the Chiefs win it again - let's just hope Josh Allen doesn't let that happen.

A 30+ point win in the NFC championship game, dropping a 50 burger, is insane. And, again, it just seemed effortless.

See you in Nola, I guess Philly. God damn it.
