Jay Gruden joined us on Grant & Danny today. He did not mince words on the illegal formation call against Terry McLaurin that proved costly against the Giants. Whoa. pic.twitter.com/zFnyQIHzNB

.@davidaldridgedc: “Ron, do you consider a QB change?”
Rivera: “No. The biggest thing more than anything else is sticking with Taylor and what we’re trying to accomplish.”
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) December 19, 2022
Rivera says they will stick with Taylor Heinicke but absolutely leaves the door open. Explicitly leaves the door open to a future change.
He says that if Taylor can get back on track, there’s no need but eventually could be necessary.

From the 5 to the 14 (the “low red zone”), Heinicke has completed 33 percent of his passes, by far the worst mark in the NFL. Since 2000, out of 752 qualified quarterbacks, Heinicke’s completion percentage there is tied for 727th. (via @Sam4TR) https://t.co/KunXA4S1bC

The chasm between Washington’s passing in the high red zone (25 to 15) and inside the low red zone (14 to 1) is startling: https://t.co/Qtvk4A25AL pic.twitter.com/eSPz0cxL4B

Head Coach Ron Rivera sits down with @JPFinlayNBCS to discuss the Commanders’ offense and his plans for the QB position.#TakeCommand pic.twitter.com/GiRh3Ti4hD

Ron: “we’re in a very precarious situation right now…we gotta take them one at a time.”
Says they need “all hands on deck” and that all injured players need to “do everything they can to get on the field.”

I know many will criticize him because “he’s celebrating after a loss.”
But I don’t. He’s human. He left his JOB yesterday.
I’m just happy he’s repping the city, and hanging with his teammates. Cole Turner, Cosmi and Tress Way. https://t.co/2b6LsF5SqO

With @NickiJhabvala trying to process a bad night for the Commanders. It was late. I think we made some sense. @ESPNRichmond https://t.co/VmnfygT2RZ

“If you look at Brian Robinson’s stat line to anyone that knows a little bit of football, you wonder why didn’t the guy get the ball more?”@JPFinlayNBCS | #WASvsNYG pic.twitter.com/qRC7FGp429

Another problem for #Commanders last night as I tried to point out several times – the Curtis Samuel run attack was stuffed by #NYG from very first series & never got going. Three times in first two series. ST went back to it late. Didn’t work.

Brian Robinson got 4 carries in the second half of that game. Antonio Gibson had 1 second half carry.

PFF’s highest graded Commanders from last night’s loss:
– Bobby McCain: 87.3
– Danny Johnson: 82.6
– Montez Sweat: 81.9
– Jahan Dotson: 81.8— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) December 19, 2022
Every year Danny Johnson ends up playing meaningful snaps in December and every year he’s pretty solid

Ron Rivera When asked about getting Chase Young out there: (also note: Dr Andrews checked him out Sunday; told him his knee was good. Believe we’re looking at sink or swim time Saturday.). pic.twitter.com/r1nN5skrlO

With the loss it seems likely the Commanders finish 4th in the NFC East. Right now that means next years schedule would include at Denver, at Atlanta and home against Chicago.
NFC South team very much subject to change, of course.

One tiny silver lining: If these guys can make the playoffs (still a big if), they’ll almost certainly play Minnesota and not San Fran now. (The Giants will get the 49ers).

There is a real chance the #Eagles start QB Gardner Minshew this weekend. MVP candidate Jalen Hurts’ status is in doubt because of a sprained throwing shoulder, per me, @TomPelissero and @MikeGarafolo. pic.twitter.com/vjtpGaqAK1

I understand that reporters have a job to do but at the same time this interaction felt really uncomfortable to watch.
idk, maybe I’ve spent too much time on the other side now and gone soft but I would just let the guy go see his family and call it a day ♂️ https://t.co/jui2LSUOi4
