JP and BMitch believe the Commanders lost last night because of the play on both sides of the run game.

Transcript

00:00Chicago came into this game with the worst rushing defense in the league.

00:03Now, granted, they get linebacker TJ Edwards back.

00:05Yeah, but anyway, they had eight in the box like a mug.

00:08Then throw it on them.

00:09Yeah, you got to come with a game plan off of that.

00:12And I think we still feel like we were running.

00:14They couldn't run the ball for bleep last night.

00:17And then defensively, I mean, they got gashed.

00:23DeAndre Swift finished 14 for 108.

00:26He had the one long one.

00:26He gashed them last year.

00:29Dude, I don't know what was more concerning last night.

00:32The inability to run the ball or the inability to stop the run.

00:36But you and I always joke about it.

00:38As much as everybody likes to make football a really complex game.

00:41It's easy.

00:41When you lose the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, it's really hard to win.

00:45Football is about running and stopping the run.

00:50If you run the ball and you can stop the run, you win football games.

00:54I know everybody with fantasy all at once.

00:56See somebody throw the ball around the damn yard.

00:59Still, old school football mindset will win games for you.

01:04If your guys are tougher at the point of attack and your guys can push people back, you're going to win.

01:12I'm talking about your big guys.

01:14If your big guys are getting pushed back, I don't care who you have at your skill position and everything else, you're going to lose.

01:21Buffalo, they lost last night.

01:25Why?

01:26They were getting whipped at the offensive line and defensive line positions.

01:29We're getting whipped at the offensive line and defensive line positions.
