As we approach the end to the first season without Dan Snyder holding onto the reins of this football team, there's one song that instantly bridges that transition from that depressing then and now era. "Bustin' Loose" by Chuck Brown and The Soul Searchers is a lively and energetic song that celebrates the act of letting go and embracing freedom. The lyrics emphasize the importance of holding onto what you have until you obtain what you need, highlighting the idea of perseverance and determination, yet another reminder that 2024 set the table for a promising 2025-26 season. In the season home finale against the Atlanta Falcons nothing would be finer than a continual chourus of "I feel like bustin' loose!," as the Commanders clinch their first playoff spot with a 10 win season since 2012!
