Packer Backers Travel to Washington DC, for Packers - Redskins Games!

Remember my keys to the game?

1 - A "Healthy" Aaron Rodgers!

2 - A defense that begins to develop an "attitude"!

3 - A running game!

4 - Weapons on offense!  Jimmy Graham, red zone TD's & 3rd down conversions!  A "three headed monster from our receivers - Adams-Cobb-Allison!  A "three headed " running monster - "Williams-Jones-Montgomery.

5 - Creative play calling - "Come on Mike"

Well, we lost! Why??

Rodgers was healthy enough, BUT a BAD 1st half!!  And, limping by games end!  Defense?  Well, no attitude, just same old Packer D!  There were many bad moments, but one that still drives me crazy?  We have the Redskins pinned back on their 2 yard line!  98 yards away & they drive the entire field for a TD!  OUCH!!!  A running game, we had a sign of one!  Aaron Jones back looked good!  Williams still running hard!  Jones should be the man!  Offensive weapons?  We have some, but inconsistent!  Creative play calling? NOT!

Back to the Packer Buddies?   Driving from Lancaster, PA, we decided to use the Metro, train system, to finish the trip.  It was great!!

Phil & Jim!    The train was filling up with Packer Fans!!!
Train ride was great, it took about one hour from the GreenBelt Station to the Morgan Blvd drop off.  We changed trains one time! Total trip was less than $10 & Parking was free from the GreenBelt parking lot!  Train was safe & clean. 

Fed Ex Field, Redskins Home!

The Fed Field Field had great seats!  The field was close to the football field with very little sideline space!  Packer fans seem to take up about 20% of attendance, and there were MANY empty seats!!

Aaron's Protector!  David Bakhtiari!  And, the TEAM!!

Look close, "THE FRANCHISE!"

Pregame was your typical NFL feel.  A member of our military sang the National Anthem and KNOCKED IT out of the park!!!

Packer Buddies - Bill, Terry, Jim, & Phil

A constant light rain throughout the entire game was tolerable.  And the Packer Buddies, after 20 years know how to prepare!!  We have been in heat in Miami!  Indoors in Indianapolis!  And, of course, SNOW and COLD in Green Bay!!!!!


Kickoff!!!

The "Eye Ball" test for the game was NOT good!  The fact that the Packers had 11 Penalty Flags, NOT GOOD!  And, another questionable call on Clay Matthews, NOT GOOD!  A defense that STILL gives up BIG plays, NOT GOOD!  An offense that has absolutely NO creativity, NOT GOOD!  And Coach McCarthy still sounding like a broken record, NOT GOOD!

After game 3, still looks like the same old Packers we have seen the past 5-6 years!  And, as we have seen with Aaron, we are just a BELOW average team!

Final Score - Redskins 31 & Packers 17
