After the Commanders did nothing at the NFL trade deadline, Kevin Sheehan says they have to win seven of the nine games remaining. Finish 9-7-1, and it starts with a win Thursday night against the Giants.

[The Team 980 @team980]

For those really pissed that the Commanders weren't aggressive sellers like the Eagles at the NFL trade deadline, "You don't know what those offers were and may have been less than what you would get down the road."

[The Team 980 @team980]

Adam Peters didn't buy, and he didn't sell at the NFL trade deadline. But the thing is: We don't know the full scope of why the Commanders GM decided not to make a move and how that fits in to the long-term plan.

[The Team 980 @team980]

Despite some info from somebody in the know, Kevin Sheehan doesn't buy the idea that had the Commanders lost to the Eagles, they wouldn't have been big sellers ahead of the NFL trade deadline

[The Team 980 @team980]

Kevin Sheehan shares a bit of inside information: After saying that the Eagles game was a pivot moment in the Commanders' season – sell or buy – at the NFL trade deadline, somebody in the know says it was not a "make-or-break game" for Washington. Interesting...

"I feel like they're in self-preservation mode." @Mitch_Tischler wasn't shocked to see the Commanders stand pat at the NFL Trade Deadline, but he was a little disappointed.

[The Team 980 @team980]

The Commanders center situation should've been addressed in training camp, yet they did nothing. Now, we're back where we started with Nick Allegretti set to start on Thursday night.

[The Team 980 @team980]

Nick Allegretti is back at starting center for the Commanders and Chris Russell is sick of the team's "word salad."

Kevin Sheehan has two things that he would like to see Commanders OC David Blough incorporate into the offense to help Jayden Daniels on Thursday night against the Giants...

[The Team 980 @team980]

Kevin Sheehan's preference for the Commanders ahead of today's NFL Trade Deadline: Sell when you can get something of value back, but don't give away pieces that are under contract and could be valuable to the new coaching staff next year

[The Team 980 @team980]

It doesn't seem like the Commanders are going to be sellers before today's NFL Trade Deadline. Kevin Sheehan is not on board with Adam Peters' strategy, but things could change before 4 p.m.

[The Team 980 @team980]

Kevin Sheehan doesn't believe the Commanders will move a "significant" player before today's NFL Trade Deadline. So that would mean not trading K'Lavon Chaisson.

[The Team 980 @team980]

Kevin Sheehan has no concern with Jayden Daniels as a quarterback, but he has some concern with the Commanders QB's ability in certain end-of-game situations and dealing with clock management, and believes he's not getting enough from the sideline right now, either

[The Team 980 @team980]

The final play of the Commanders' 20-13 loss to the Rams on Sunday was annoying, but Kevin Sheehan is more disappointed with Jayden Daniels' throw to Stefon Diggs on the second-to-last play with 8 seconds left in an "ozone" situation.

[The Team 980 @team980]

How active will the Commanders be ahead of the 4 p.m. NFL Trade Deadline? Kevin Sheehan doesn't think Washington GM Adam Peters will be making any big moves to buy or sell

[The Team 980 @team980]

Kevin Sheehan points out that the decision to move on from Kliff Kingsbury and promote David Blough to offensive coordinator wasn't just a Dan Quinn decision, but one Commanders GM Adam Peters played a hand in, as well.

[The Team 980 @team980]

Kliff Kingsbury was on the Commanders' sideline in 2024, and there were no end-of-game fiascos. He's not here now, and there are. Is it true the Commanders' former OC was masking these issues?

[The Team 980 @team980]

The Commanders had another end-of-game mistake. One Washington fan asks if it really is as simple as Kliff Kingsbury being the one keeping Dan Quinn, Jayden Daniels, and the team on track in those situations?
