Both of these teams have sensational quarterbacks, but are trying to avoid a dreaded 0-2 start. The Redskins head up to Lambeau after an awful start on Monday Night Football. Robert Griffin III looked like a guy who was not used to the timing of the NFL and still had to get his footing. He started getting into a groove late in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he cannot wait until the fourth quarter to start putting together meaningful drives. Not one to blame others, RG3 took full responsibility for his performance. “I’m responsible for the way I play,” Griffin said. “You move on from it. I’m not going to sit here and say I was rusty. I’ve got to be accountable.”
The Packers just had bad luck the first week and had to play San Francisco who looks like an early favorite to go to the Super Bowl. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick picked off the Packers’ defense with his arm for 400 yards. Aaron Rodgers looked sharp, but it just was not enough. However, the Redskins secondary is very shaky which could make for a long day for the Redskins. The Redskins also must hope that running back Alfred Morris is back to form after an uncharacteristically bad game. He had a fumble for his first carry and only 45 rushing yards.
The Redskins looked lost week one and while they will definitely play better than last week, it will not be enough to beat one of the best quarterbacks in the league. While this will be a tough start for the Redskins, they are a team that will only get stronger as the weeks gone on. Griffin will get more and more comfortable and return to his spectacular form. The Packers will bounce back at home with a lot of Lambeau Leaps! Packers vs. Redskins- who you takin?
