Pack vs Commanders

Forgot there was a game tonight. Yes, this should be a good one. We should know more about the Packers in about 8 hours.

Not sure we do.  I hate Thursday night games.  WA looked flat, like they had 3 days to recover, plan and travel.  Defense didn't have energy, offense looked out of sync.

From what I saw, it was hard to discern what was a positive for the Packers vs. poor play by Washington. Here is where I will give the Packers credit: (1) Josh Jacobs continues to be a beast; (2) they seem to have decent receivers falling out of their pockets; (3) Micah Parsons' get off is so fast, if he stays healthy...

Here is where I thought Washington just dribbled down its own leg: (1) lack of pressure on Love, even with 2 Packer OL out. They threw up a stat in the 2nd half showing Love's numbers when pressured -- they were terrible. Trouble is/was, Washington rarely got the pressures; (2) Washington's approach to the run game was more than a little questionable. Leaning on Ekler and pounding him up the middle? I saw no designed runs for Daniels; (3) Daniels had a bad game, full stop.

Pack looked good. On defense they fly to the ball and are stout on O. Love is just good enough to make it work

Foreskins have no running backs, though big weakness.

The talking heads kept talking about Daniels and McLauren not being on the same page.  That was very obvious.  They also started a rookie at RT, and I think they mentioned he had been a LT.  So that was quite a matchup for him against Parsons and Gary.  Left him 1 on 1 quite a bit.

Just a poor game by the whole of the Commanders.  Flat, uninspired, poor game plan.

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?"

It's been a thing for two decades. College teams have been doing it since the early 2000's in one fashion or another. Hell my local highschool did it in 2011/2012.
