On Saturday, the Washington Commanders lost 13-6 to the Miami Dolphins in Week 2 of the NFL preseason.
Like last week, there were more positives than negatives from this loss. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels continues to play well. Daniels played two series and completed 10 of 12 passes for 78 yards before leaving.
The talking point of the game for Washington was its poor kicking performance. Kicker Riley Patterson missed two of his four kicks and made just two of five in the preseason. One of the Commanders’ starting cornerbacks gave up another touchdown to the opposing backup receiver.
As expected, Twitter was busy with opinions on Washington’s performance, and below are the top 10 Twitter reactions to Saturday’s Commanders vs. Dolphins game.
Cole Turner, see you in the USFL.

Last week it was Forbes, now it’s St. Juste who allowed a touchdown, and we need a cornerback again. #HailToTheMaster

I don’t think I need to update you on the current situation with the Commanders kicker, so I’ll just wish you the best of luck on this one.

Kicker. Outside cornerback. Offensive tackle.
The weak spots on this roster feel especially weak.#HailToTheMaster

The managers have kicking problems.

Cuz Allen was injured tonight and the team may waive him this week.

To be honest, I’m not a fan of Tinsley, he didn’t perform well in the preseason this season and failed when given the chance, I’m just not a fan.
The team was lackluster tonight, but it wasn’t a disaster. On to Game 3 of the preseason.

Thankfully, it was a meaningless preseason game, so Mitchell Tinsley won’t have to walk home. #HailToTheMaster

Jaden is really solid.
โ Joe Theismann (@Theismann7) August 18, 2024
Jayden Daniels plays with poise and control.
I like the uptempo/change of pace approach they use; it suits him perfectly.

It would be very funny if the second film was actually better and Ron Rivera’s staff was so terrible that it didn’t work out.
โ Nick J (@n1ckjarv1s) August 17, 2024
Ron Rivera hasn’t done this franchise justice with some of the players he’s acquired, and Adam Peters will undoubtedly have a tough task ahead of him.
