Confidence in the Commanders’ direction stays high after Week 2, even with an offense that looked rusty and a defense that bent to Green Bay. Reacts shows 98% backing the plan as fans brace for a marathon season. Week 3 offers a home environment, a nine-day rest, and a chance to reset amid a murky NFC East picture that could shift with Sunday outcomes.

The schedule remains demanding: Raiders on a short week, Eagles and Rams on the horizon, and a division race that could swing from top to middle quickly. Injuries and coaching decisions loom large; the path to a meaningful season hinges on cleaner offense and sharper play-calling, not panic.
