I’m watching the replay of Washington vs Green Bay, haven’t had a chance to see it yet and making some observations
I put a little bit of money on Washington at 100-1 a couple of weeks ago
So they pretty much whooped Green Bay in Green Bay, but lost the game because of 1 player if you can believe that, Santana Moss, the goat of the week and off to the doghouse, they have receivers, Randle El from Pitt, Thrash for Philly, McCardell from everywhere, all guys with good playoff experience and a recent Super Bowl win, throw in Cooley, who is very cool, and they look good, this QB Campbell is pretty sharp, Moss is used to Pennington floating him the soft ball, he can’t catch any of this kid’s balls, it’s bad so he gotta learn fast or go.
Coach Gibbs is the kinda guy who will give you a shot and let you roll for as long as you can, and he’s good at turning out these no names, guys like Cooley, 3rd round pick, 1500+ yards and 13TD’s last 2 years, had 97 yards and a TD vs Green Bay by halftime
The result of this game vs Green Bay is misleading, Washington is the better team, more potential anyway, looking at their schedule the last game of the year is at home vs Dallas, they could probably win that game and enter the playoffs feeling really good, then go on the road and whoop a team like Green Bay
Decent team, tough defense, Portis & Betts running the ball pretty good, nice balance, 1st round pick at QB playing good, experienced receivers that can still run good, Hall of Fame coach, that’s a pretty nice package to get at 100-1 odds
Sometimes when you’re gambling you can’t get the best so you gotta beat em with what you have, and that’s the way it rolls
As far as my thoughts on Green Bay go, i think they are average, coach is a bit unproven and might be some sort of genius that i am unaware of, Favre will never win again, i gotta admit i never really liked him, even though he is a legend, something about his persona bugs me, i think what i’m trying to say is that he’s a bit of a flake, defense looks solid enough
