Following the Washington Commanders' recent loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, head coach Dan Quinn's decisions are under intense scrutiny, particularly regarding player management and game strategy. Quinn addressed the media on a Sunday, typically reserved for 'Tell the Truth Monday', revealing that quarterback Marcus Mariota is day-to-day after suffering a hand injury and stitches during the game.

With Jayden Daniels already shut down for the season, the Commanders are considering elevating Sam Hartman from the practice squad or signing another quarterback, as Josh Johnson struggled in relief, throwing an interception and losing a fumble.

The defeat raised questions about the team's direction, especially as the Commanders have consistently squandered early leads this season. There was also a notable incident during the game, where tempers flared over a late two-point conversion by the Eagles, leading to ejections of Commanders players Quan Martin and Javon Kinlaw.

Quinn expressed frustration over the Eagles' tactics and emphasized a desire for retribution in their next matchup, although critics argue that his team's undisciplined play may not align with his expectations.

As the Commanders prepare for their upcoming Christmas Day game against the Dallas Cowboys, the overall sentiment is that major changes may be necessary after a disappointing season, particularly in the quarterback position behind Daniels.
