The Washington Commanders took care of business on Sunday by beating the New York Giants and getting an early win in the NFC East. But to paraphrase head coach Dan Quinn, the team can't celebrate too long with a primetime game against a playoff team from last season up next.

And with everything being condensed in a short week, we can't dawdle with our time. So, here's what Commanders fans want to know.

@SadeghiStu21366: What does the offense have to do against the Packers to show "they're still that offense" everyone knows they are? Is the key to winning on TNF just play the same defense?

They need to keep building on what they showed against the Giants. The Commanders gave us a glimpse of what they'll be in 2025 with a 432-yard performance on Sunday. They hit a lot of the same beats; the ground was dominant, Zach Ertz was reliable as ever and Jayden Daniels had some elite moments as a runner and passer. But there were a few extra wrinkles with Deebo Samuel adding some versatility to the unit and Jacory Croskey-Merritt being explosive on the ground.

I don't think another good performance from the defense is going to be enough to beat the Packers. Matt LeFleur is a difficult play caller to prepare for, and he's going to find interesting ways to exploit the Commanders. The offense cannot go on long scoring droughts like they did against New York if they hope to come out of Lambeau with a win.

In addition to the offense being more consistent, they need to find plays that truly flip the field. The catches Noah Brown and Samuel had for gains of about 20 yards were certainly nice to see, but there was a missed opportunity with the off-target deep shot to Terry McLaurin. That will come with more reps, but I also believe connecting on those plays is the next step for the offense.

@AmatorLudis: How serious are injuries to Tress Way and Austin Ekeler? What are chances either of them misses Thursday night's game? Are punters being brought in this week to work out for punting and holding?

I get why fans can sometimes freak out about injury reports. No one likes to see key players on that list, no matter what the injury is. This might be like arguing with the wind in some regards, but I think we should remember that Monday's injury report was an estimation based on a walkthrough that happened the day after a game. It's something to keep an eye on, but I'm not looking too far into it for now.

With Way and Ekeler specifically, Way looked OK in the locker room after Sunday's game, and Ekeler spoke to the media. At the time of this writing, we haven't been to practice yet, so we'll get a better answer around 1 p.m. I'll try to provide a note on that later today. I won't say with full confidence that either player will be available for Thursday, but for now, I'm going to react with the knowledge that these are both veteran players who know how to take care of their bodies and be ready for gamedays. So, for the time being, I believe they will be ready to go.

There hasn't been any news about bringing in another punter yet, and in that regard, no news is good news.

@warren_gas77608: Is Washington going to keep pressure on throughout the whole game nonstop on Jordan Love and Blitz more like they did Russell Wilson?

Perhaps, but I don't think they will take that approach because of how much more potent the Packers' offense can be at times. They have more weapons at multiple positions with a better quarterback. Blitzing will be a key part of the game plan, but I find it hard to fathom them doing so as much as they did against Wilson.

But there can be a difference between blitzing and bringing pressure, and that's something I do believe could be a carryover from Sunday. The Commanders did a good job of utilizing stunts and twists up front to constrict the pocket around Wilson. It didn't always lead to a sack, but Wilson was under consistent duress and made some hurried throws because of it. That plan worked so well because the Commanders' defensive linemen all stuck to their assignments and didn't lose gap control -- a problem for the group last season.

So, to sum things up, yes, but that doesn't mean they will always commit six or seven players to putting pressure on Love. Sometimes it will just be four or five players doing their jobs.

@LayTheSnaccdown: Do you think Micah will have the same level of impact on our offense as he did in Dallas, more, less?

Parsons played 30 snaps in his debut with the Packers last weekend, and I believe they will gradually increase that number throughout the start of the season. This week could expedite that process, however, because of how familiar he is with the Commanders' offense. He could also be lined up against Josh Conerly Jr. for the majority of the night, which is a tough matchup for the rookie.

I definitely don't think he'll have less of an impact. After all, this is one of the best pass-rushers of the last decade, and he's going to be good no matter what system he's in. But I'm not sure it's going to be more, either, because it depends on what the Packers' coaches will ask him to do until he gets more up to speed with the scheme.

The best I can say is that maybe his impact will be a little more than normal based on the matchup between him and Conerly (that's not an indictment against him, but an All-Pro going against a rookie is a tough night for anyone). But I do believe they will give Conerly as much help as possible through John Bates and perhaps even a slot receiver to chip Parsons at the line of scrimmage.
