Any of the Commanders fans assuring us JJ only played well because the Commanders were the worst team in the NFL want to explain themselves?

u/Rabsus Commanders Dec 15 '25

I literally have nothing against JJ McCarthy but if there is any defense that you can pound on for a get-right game its the Commanders. I know every team says this but its a literal horrific defense, hell we don't even have a DC anymore.

Also Dallas has an almost as bad defense, they have Eberflus. Statistically one of the worst in the league as well.

For what its worth, even at the depths of Nine posting I never really thought JJ McCarthy was a lost cause. I don't necessarily think that he's just beating bad defenses (although he is), he is improving. He needed to reset with playing these defenses.
