Traveling on a short week is always tough, too. Especially against a good team.

But I think Simp is right, they really had a horseshoe up their ass last year.
Their defense is similar to what we had under Quinn except much less talented. When they're up big they feast because of the aggressive nature, against quality opponents and in games that are neutral they struggle.

They were up big a lot last year because they had like 7 games against the worst 10 teams in the league.

Offensively they were really good at taking what the defense gives them in little chunks, setting up 3rd/4th and short, and last year they converted at a historic clip. That won't happen again, it's also a style that relies too heavily on Daniels to bail them out with his legs.

That's fine for a few years but over the long run it doesn't work.

They're an 8ish win caliber team that got ridiculously lucky, they didn't do anything significant to improve their defense and are banking on a couple of aging vets to boost an offense that wasn't that talented in the first place.

Should’ve written the end zone names in white to match the unis

Daniels is also kind of a garbage time king, they have 150 yards right now, I wouldn't be shocked if they ended up with 275+.

I see the Packers are falling into the trap of playing parsons in meaningless minutes for no reasons other than to boost his stats.

will be enjoyable watching him burnout by the end of the season because he’s beat to a pulp.

This seemed like a good idea at the time.

Think Ekeler popped an Achilles, between that and their starting DE Wise popping an ACL on a XP, pretty good laughs all around.
Yep….they lost 2 good players tonight.
The Commanders look like a 8-9 win team right now.

Parsons made some plays, if anything it just shows when he’s paired with another quality player who can rush the QB he’s even better than he was in Dallas. Packers are resting him too. Keeping him fresh.

They aren't wasting him on clear run downs either.

But they've also jumped out to 2 TD leads quickly in both of these first two games, Parsons is going to look amazing in that scenario no matter what is going on around him.
