0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred eighty of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Monday, October 20th,
0:23.2	2020. It is two months from today that we have the first of two games for the Washington
0:28.4	Commanders against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL's 2025 regular season. Saturday, December
0:33.9	20th, commanders versus the Eagles at Northwest Stadium. And then two weeks later, we have the commanders at the Eagles in week 18.
0:41.3	Are those games going to mean anything for the commanders?
0:44.5	They, for the first time, since improving to one-in-one, last regular season,
0:49.8	have a record under 500 in a regular season, Three and four off an awful 44-22 loss at the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
1:01.9	Yes, the commanders on Sunday got doubled up at the Cowboys, a humiliating, pathetic,
1:08.5	atrocious loss.
1:10.4	This was a loss that dropped the commanders to just one
1:13.6	and four in the NFC. The season is slipping away. Now, the season is not over. There's too much
1:19.9	season left to say that the season is over. This is the NFL, which can change on a dime. If you
1:25.1	follow the league for five minutes, you should know that. The team hasn't even played half of its games in this regular season. Seven games down,
1:32.2	10 to go. But yeah, at 1 in 4 in the NFC, the season is slipping away. And in case you don't know,
1:38.6	being just 1 and 4 in the NFC is significant because conference record is a key tiebreaker for a wildcard spot. The top two
1:45.0	tiebreakers for two teams from different divisions tied for a wild card spot. Number one, head-to-head
1:50.6	if applicable. Number two, best one-loss tied percentage in games played within the conference.
1:57.9	There are so many things wrong with the commanders right now. The defense is atrocious.
2:03.2	Okay. The receiving corps and the edge defender corps have been ripped by injury. And with the
2:09.1	receiving corps, you have two guys in Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown who are taking forever
2:14.7	to get better. And I am sure that these two are working to get better.
2:19.3	Like, I don't think that they are, you know, reveling in not playing. But man, are these guys
