Eric Bieniemy's hiring last week as offensive coordinator and assistant head coach has been hailed by Commanders cult members and those handing out the Kool-Aid as some sort of game-changer, when there is really one move for the Washington franchise that will change the game.

Ted Lerner's legacy, capped by bringing baseball and a World Series title back to Washington, is as rich and accomplished as that of any lifelong resident of Washington.

If the Philadelphia Eagles manage to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII Sunday -- and I believe they will -- Washington Commanders fans will lose a coveted place in bragging rights between the NFC East teams.

It appears that the first Washington Commanders Fan Cruise has sunk before the ship has even boarded.

Sunday's win over the visiting Dallas Cowboys may very well have been the franchise's last game under the ownership of Skipper Dan the Sailing Man.

The decision to sit Heinicke in favor of Wentz is reason enough to fire Rivera. But add to that the bizarre postgame comments, in which Rivera seemed surprised that because of the loss to the Browns, his team faced playoff elimination if the Packers defeated the Vikings later that day.

Ron Rivera publicly committed to Taylor Heinicke. Imagine what he told the journeyman quarterback behind closed doors. I suspect it was a more passionate pledge, as coaches typically do to their players in those moments. There was no such commitment Tuesday.

Ghost Town Field, officially named FedEx Field, was offered by Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder as a potential host stadium for games by the DC2026 World Cup bid committee. But the stadium was a nonstarter before the local bid was even submitted.

This is clear -- the Giants are tougher. Washington has a better roster of players. But New York's roster plays at a higher level of intensity and has bought in fully to rookie coach Brian Daboll's message of commitment, just a bit more than Ron Rivera's players have.
