Game 2: Commanders at Packers - Thursday, Sept 11 7:15 PM

[CheezWizHed]

Great kickoff to the season by whooping it up on last year's 15-1 Lions.  But no time to rest on our laurels as there is a quick turnaround this week with the Commanders coming into town on Thursday.  At least we have it as a home game. 

Last year's surprise playoff team won convincingly in their first game... but only against the lowly Giants. 

The availability of Zach Tom will be a key item to watch this week. Hopefully, he was held out as a precaution Sunday as we had a good lead when he got hurt.  He was riding the bike on the sidelines, so that would indicate nothing too serious. 

Would be nice to have Hobbs back this game.  Bo Melton also left the last game with a shoulder injury.

Jayden Daniels will be much harder to contain than Jared Goff, but he does take sacks. I'm sure Cooper and/or Walker will be spying on him most of the game.

I'm not a believer in the Commanders. Packers take it somewhat comfortably.

September nfl games are always unpredictable....thursday night September games are even more of a crapshoot.  Glad this is a home game, and ill be happiest with a W but also just thrilled if the Packers get out of thursday with no significant injuries.

[OldHeidelberg]

Both Tom and Banks potentially out but they have Kennard and Morgan graded out well on Sunday. Wash has to travel on short week and we don't, this seems like game we should win to me too.

Normally a QB that can run (i.e. more than scramble) kills us, but I like Hafley's defense with Walker+Cooper here.  I don't think Jayden is going to have nearly as much room to run.  Still a good and accurate passer, but if you take away the run game, that tightens those passing windows.

I think it is safe to assume Jayden Daniels has some year 2 growing pains a la CJ Stroud (and Love) last year after impressive initial campaigns. It’s still early, and conditioning and injury volume is not ideal for us at the moment, so a loss wouldn’t stun me. But the Packers should be better than Washington, and should win.

Isn’t the game being shown on regular television in local markets?

I wouldn't know, I'm not in a local market.

This only says Prime:

Unfortunate, but I liked the decision to go for it.

[young guns]

Hope the shoulder injury for Reed isn't that bad.

[wOOgiE22]

Ugh. Just under threw that ball. Golden was wide open.

After the official stood there for so long I thought they would take the time out. Time for the defense to do their thing

Another >35 yd pass on 3/4 down and short.

That looks like a broken collarbone. I hope I’m wrong. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

What in the world is Golden doing there?

[duewizard]

Nice job by the D. What a punt though

Yep.

[young guns]

Come on he tackled him twice and they pick up the flag?

Yeah, based on what we've seen. That could also be a shoulder injury. A dislocated shoulder... but probably collarbone. 

So... 2 months and then his foot heals I guess. I don't know... Belton needs some help.

I also don't like Golden returning punts. Not because of that play, but we're going to need him too much. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Good thing we kept 6 WR I guess. Reed is going to be out a while. Maybe some chances for Williams. 

[young guns]

I like the commanders game plan vs kraft.  Completely ignore him.
