Little worried for the Skins. Thats now 2 games they have just simply given away. They SHOULD be undefeated now. I don't get how they let the Packers win, just like I don't get how they let the Giants win. They completely dominated the first half of both games, and the defense still played well, but the offense just completely collapsed. This loss especially may be the loss that keeps them from the playoffs.

It might be because I'm a Packer fan, but I don't understand how the Skins should have won. The refs literally stole 2 TDs from the Pack. You were lucky it was as close as it was.

Skins had more first downs (18-13), yards (301-225), and time of possession (32:48-27:12). Jason Campbell outplayed Brett Favre (21/37, 217 yards, 1 td 1 int + a rush td vs 19/37, 188 yards, 2 ints). But the Redskins had more penalties and had those fumbles, basically giving the game away despite outpaying Green Bay on both sides of the ball.

I agree, and kind of feel that the Packers are now all square after losing to Chicago. Won one they shouldn't have, lost one they should not have.

At the same time, the refs DID take away two TD's from Green Bay. So, while Washington shot themselves in the foot with some dropped 1st down passes and fumbles, one could say that this was evened out with Green Bay's lost TD's.

Again, I do think Washington played better overall than Green Bay, but Green Bay stepped up and scored when they needed to, while Washington did not.
