The snow and the weather had very little to do with it.
After reading this thread I went back to look at both of the games I DVR'd (Redskin vs Seattle and the GB vs Seattle) and noticed one huge difference between what Green Bay did and Redskins did not. The Green Bay tightends and FB blocked the shit out of the Seattle LB's. In our game the Seattle LB's were flying all over the field and in our backfield on most run plays. In the Green Bay game the Green Bay TE's and FB controlled the Seattle LB's. On some of the long GB runs the Seattle LB's were getting the snot knocked out of them with some great blocks.
Our TE's are not known for their blocking prowess. Cooley is a great receiver but not a great blocker. Cooley fans please do not get upset. The only really good blocker we have is FB/H-back Mike Sellers. We need to look at drafting or signing a TE or two that can knock people backwards.
