For the second time in three weeks the Washington Commanders lost to a team that on paper they should’ve beaten. Three weeks ago, it was a listless performance against the struggling Chicago Bears that led to a 40-20 home loss.
On Sunday, it was an ugly 14-7 loss to the New York Giants, who were without starting quarterback Daniel Jones, were operating with a makeshift offensive line, came in with one win, and hadn’t scored an offensive touchdown in three full games.
All of the Giants’ struggles seemed to get rectified in Sunday’s win, and that didn’t sit well with Commanders Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jonathan Allen.
The aforementioned Allen has witnessed a ton of losing in his seven seasons in Washington, and following Sunday’s loss he let it be known that he was not happy about it. In an epic rant, Allen was heavy on the expletives, and that seemed to catch the eye of ESPN’s Ryan Clark, who had a little fun at the Commanders captain’s expense on Monday morning.
Allen’s Rant Wasn’t Rated PG
When asked in his postgame interview to identify the root of Sunday’s loss, Allen attributed it to not playing with a sense of urgency from the opening kickoff.
“I think it’s just a lack of focus on our part,” Allen said. “A lack of attention to detail. Not starting fast, and creating holes that are too big for us to overcome in the second half.”
It was the Commanders‘ seventh loss in ten meetings with their longtime division rival. When asked if it’s frustrating, an irritated Allen expressed that it was with a resounding course of expletives.
“F — yes, it does,” Allen responded. “I’m f— tired of this s—. I’m f— tired of this b—. It’s been seven f— of the same s—. I’m tired of this s—.”
