Pack vs Commanders

Well that was a complete dud unless you are a Packer fan.

Might be a bit before Viking's fans admit that Green Bay is good....but they are. That D is buzzing. Game was WAY more one sided than the score. If Minnesota had beaten both Detroit and Washington to start the year, fans would be losing their shit big time.

And this is the way to think of this loss, mature response from Daniels. Its one game.

Jayden Daniels: Nothing to dwell about, we faced a good team and came up short.

Two observations:

Washington laid an egg...Jayden Daniels did not play as free as he was last year.
This is the second game in a week where the home team wore white and the visitors wore colors/black. (Last Saturday a college game, it was a "black out"...all the fans wore black for a game under the lights and the home team? ...came out in all white.

Is this becoming a "thing?"

Hand up, I thought WAS could keep it within 4 or better and I was wrong.

GB with back to back home games to start the year, and WAS traveling on a short week after their first game was such a tough spot.

Green Bay defense looked stout again, and now they'll have 10 days of rest and a quick trip to Cleveland who will be coming off a game in Baltimore. Sadly, GB is in a very good spot. I hope the Vikings can take care of business against Atlanta.

What's becoming a 'thing' is that the NFL is realizing many fans will buy anything and everything when it comes to apparel. They like different options, they like to accessorize, etc. Younger fans today don't have just one jersey, they have 4 jerseys. 4 logo'd caps, etc.

Jayden Daniels performance last night looked exactly like every young QB looks when the running game is nonexistent.

I agree completely.   Green Bay pretty much bitch slapped last years two NFC Title game participants.  That is DEFINITELY eye opening.  So early in the season so we really don't know if Green Bay is that good or have both teams losses in players and coaching staffs affected them to the degree they have taken multiple steps back.  We are all pretty familiar with the Lions losses and they are VERY significant so I went to check out Commanders and they lost a few very important pieces but it seems they more than made up for them.    I think them trading Brian Robinson was a huge mistake much like Kwesi made the mistake NOT replacing Dalvin Cook and going with Mattison as the bell cow back and it showed last night.  The loss of Jonathan Allen to the Vikings also reared its head last night as Jacobs gashed them up the middle.

Packers got up early, forcing Washington to abandoned the run too early. I think part of the reason the Vikings game back against the Bears is that they didn't abandon the run. Chunk runs by Jordan Mason is part of what brought them back. Daniels threw the ball 42 times and handed it off 12 times. That's not a recipe for a win.
