| 0:00.0 | Woo! That was something. We're live here at Lambo Field after the commanders lost 28 to 17 to the Green Bay Packers. The score indicates a game that was probably a little closer than it actually was. Wasn't as close as it was. Yeah, it wasn't. I mean, this was a throttling. Green Bay was a better team, start to finish. They dominated on both lines of scrimmage. And when you have that, it's the same thing Washington did to the Giants last week. And like, I mean, the commanders were able to move the ball a little bit better, |
| 0:40.6 | but this was just, we don't know how good Green Bay is. |
| 0:44.1 | Maybe they are really, really good. |
| 0:45.8 | Their defensive front looked really, really good. |
| 0:47.8 | Micah Parsons looked like he has unlocked. |
| 0:49.8 | Rishon Gary and Lucas Van Ness and Quay Walker. |
| 0:52.2 | Like, they might just be really, really good. |
| 0:53.9 | But tonight, they were the much better team. I mean, that was a sad locker room, sad podium. It was a bunch of guys who realized they kind of got their butts kicked. And then you add the insult to injury, literally, with significant injuries. It looks like significant injuries to Austin Echler as well as Dietrich Wise. Then you've got Noah Brown, John Bates, further down the list. But, I mean, two vets that look, we don't want to speculate too much, but it looks like they could be done for their year. Ian Rappaport said it's fear that it's that Kelly's... I mean, not everybody here. Clearly, we were in the locker room and Austin was visibly upset. Cal over his head. You could see... Had the boot on, walked out on crutches. Right. I mean, you could see that it was big. And we talked to Bill, Jacori-Crossky-Marred, and he was, you know, he talked about how important Austin Echler was for his development and how difficult it is. Dude, think about the running back room Bill was drafted into with the vets that were kind of |
| 1:45.1 | running it in B-Rob and Echler, and by week three, I don't, I'm not entirely convinced either of them will be around. Yeah, I mean, listen. One of them definitely not, but it's tough. We talked about when they got rid of B-Rob, you know, that you had a void of veteran experience in that locker room because eclare has become |
| 2:03.2 | a guy who has been dealing with injuries as of late as he's gotten older in his career and not that |
| 2:08.2 | B-Rob is a is a replacement for Echler in any way shape or form but you now have three running backs in |
| 2:12.8 | that room who don't have a whole lot of NFL experience especially being Bel that. Which is kind of the thing we said when they traded away Robinson. |
| 2:20.1 | He's like, all right, this guy has some level of dependability that you're giving up on that. In this game, though, I mean, in the Jaden Daniels-Daniel's Dan Quinn era, I think people are going to jump and say this is the worst loss. I still think the home loss to the Cowboys last year with, I think, Cooper Rush playing is worse. |
| 2:37.6 | But damn, this was ugly. And it's now two games in a row. The offense hasn't really clicked. At least last week, they ran the ball really well and the final numbers look pretty good. In this thing, I mean, maybe the final numbers look okay. But for most of this game, the Packers' tight ends were out gaining Washington's entire offense. |
| 2:53.9 | Tucker Crafts was unstoppable. I mean, the run game was terrible. Echler finished eight carries for 17 yards, Bill four for 17. |
| 3:00.9 | I do not understand why they didn't go to Bill more, and Echler kept getting all the work. |
| 3:05.0 | Right. Early on, Echler wasn't having a ton of success, and yet they still were handing the ball. I mean, this is a team that got beat on offense, defense, and special teams. It was across the board. They totally did, but, you know, at various times, the defense kind of kept them in this thing. Yeah, it was crazy to say, because the defense wasn't good. No, but they were better closer in. |
| 3:27.4 | You know what I mean? |
| 3:27.8 | Like Green Bay Miss. It was crazy to say his defense wasn't good. No, but they were better closer in. |
| 3:27.4 | You know what I mean? |
| 3:27.8 | Like Green Bay missed a field goal. |
| 3:29.0 | Like Green Bay kind of stalled out at various times. |
