[tps_title]These guys have about as many playmakers on offense as the Packers do[/tps_title]
First of all, we’re going to give it up to quarterback Kirk Cousins. This guy came from the scrap heap (as far as we’re concerned) and threw for 4,166 yards and 29 touchdowns this season.
That said, we’ll still take a disinterested, mediocre Aaron Rodgers, which is exactly what we were given in 2015, over Kirk Cousins any day.
So, the rest of the offense… Look at this cast of asshats.
Washington was led in rushing by Alfred Morris, with 751 yards. He averaged a mediocre 3.7 yards per carry. Eddie Lacy, who couldn’t get out of the doghouse most of the season and split time with James Starks, had seven more rushing yards. More importantly, he averaged 4.1 per carry.
The only Skins receiver to surpass 800 yards on the year was their tight end, Jordan Reed, who caught 87 for 952 and 11 touchdowns. He’s a beast, but their actual receivers aren’t much to write home about.
Washington’s top two on the season were Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder. They averaged 10.8 and 10.2 yards per reception. This dynamic duo would fit in perfectly with the Packers’ receivers.
Of the 16 teams in the playoffs, the Washington offense is ranked eighth and the Packers is ranked 10th. Both were in the bottom half of the league during the regular season, with Washington ranked 17th and the Packers 23rd.
This will actually be very similar to an NFC North game for the Packers, since none of those teams are particularly good on offense either. And, even though they lost to all three of their division opponents this season, the Packers did beat all of them on the road, where they’re 5-3 this season.
