Time to bust the commanders down to privates.

Slow your roll there Joe. I'm trying to bask in the take down of the Lions!

Happy to get the Thursday game out of the way early, at home (after a home game), and against a non-divisional team.

So no scalping them?

Exciting for this matchup. Had hoped for Washington in the first round last year when it was a possibility. Two up and coming teams should be a great game.

Not much time to prepare though.

Exactly Bobble is planning a parade when there is another big game in almost 72 hours. This one likely has huge playoff seed relevance.

Except we have another one later in the season. 11/27 on Thanksgiving against the Lions.

Dammit. But still....

This will be a much different kind of game. Going against a running QB instead of immobile Goff takes adjustment, but I'm fairly confident that Hafley can do that adjustment. The Redskins (or whatever) RBs and Receivers are not as good as Detroit, and I doubt the Washington defense is as good. We ought to be able to run the ball and control it for more time than against the Lions. It's still a pretty good team at their place, but I think the Packers win without much difficulty.

First, it’s “Redcoats.” Named in honor of the brave British troops who fought to preserve sophistry and sophistication in the so-called “New World.”

Secondly, game’s in Green Bay.

It's a rare game that has both punters on the injury list. Packers list getting a bit too long. The need to get through this one without extending through list.

[Spaulding]

I can't recall saying this in a really long time, but I'm actually more excited to watch the defense over the offense after week one. Holy smokes was that fun seeing them swarm and make the Lions offense look pedestrian with all that talent.

I got the marching band and the baton girls. When I find a marshall we can do it and THEN I can worry about the team formerly known as the Redskins.
