Really no idea. Think Washington could roll but that D is so jeckle and Hyde. They can be underrated or putrid. Could be a shootout.

Washington goes up say 24-7 in the second half. The defense backs off with a big lead and Washington ends up winning 27-21.

As it should be.
Green Bay finds a way to win despite still looking like garbage since their hot start. I'm just not a believer in Washington at all.

I think it is but it's a fairly meaningless stat and Rodgers didn't lose those games alone.

I like how it conveniently stops before 2011 when the Packers won 3 straight road playoff games and then a neutral site Super Bowl.

no one cares about those
haha we all know how great rodgers is. with or without a good oline he can still be one of the best qb's in the league. i like washington here but you can never count out rodgers, hes just that good

They played zero teams above .500 at home. Not his fault all the teams they played at home stunk to high heaven. You can only win the games you play
Also rodgers hasant beaten any good team on the road except for the Vikings this year going 1-11 in last 12 opportunities. Does he need to beat someone good to be elite? Cause he hasant really done that in 2 years

I'm talking Cousins the individual and his numbers at home are elite regardless of competition. His home/road splits are drastic

Considering we are talking about a series of losses to good teams on the road, an average of 23 points a game is actually pretty productive offense.

Not sure how anyone can pick the Packers right now. Check out what they've done since they were 6-0 (and they struggled on offense against SF and STL in those games too).
They've gotten steamrolled by Arizona, Denver and Carolina. They lost at home to mediocre to bad Detroit and Chicago teams and were once again awful on offense tonight.
The four games they won were the hail mary against the Lions where they were down 20. A depleted Cowboys team which was still a one possession game in the 4th quarter. A 10 point win against Oakland where Derek Carr basically gifted the team a 14-0 lead thanks to two awful interceptions (one returned for TD, one returned into red zone) and a solid win against the Vikings which also didn't have a lot to do with the offense, solid special teams and an Adrian Peterson fumble helped a lot.
The defense is solid but the offense is awful. The offense was figured out once the 49ers and Rams showed you could play press coverage and there was no threat of the deep ball. It's so predictable. A few runs for Lacy. Little flat routes for Richard Rodgers that gain 2 yards. Rodgers holds the ball and buys time for 5+ seconds and hopes one of Jones or Cobb can get open against a defender.
There's not a chance the Packers win next week with the way they've been playing on offense the last 3 months. The only chance they have is if McCarthy comes up with a completely different scheme to get his receivers in looks where they can get open. Since he seems to get pissed off when you question him and seems to think nothing is wrong with the offense, I'm not optimistic about that.
