The Washington Post has given their 5 things to watch for on Sunday:

1) QB Griffen's progress back from surgery. He did not play very much in the preseason and was rusty last week. They think if he can get the timing down with receivers he might have a big game.

2) They think Redskin strong safety will be back in the line up after a lingering groin injury. Defensive coordinator, Jim Haslett, doesn't know what to expect because he has not seen the guy play a full game.

3) RB Alfred Morris did not have a good game last week and with the Redskins behind most of the game opportunities were limited. "But it won’t be easy. The Packers last week limited Frank Gore to just 44 yards on 21 carries (2.1 ypc), and held San Francisco as a whole to 90 rushing yards."

4) "The Redskins last season ranked fifth in the league stopping the run. Teams managed just 95.8 yards a game against Washington. But Monday, the Eagles gashed the Redskins for 263 rushing yards. A solid game by Lacy will make Rodgers and the Packers only more dangerous."

5) "Left tackle Trent Williams draws a stiff challenge this week as fellow Pro Bowler Clay Matthews leads the Packers’ pass-rushing charge. Matthews last week recorded eight tackles, a sack and two more hits on the quarterback. The Packers could flip-flop him some to exploit mismatches, so right tackle Tyler Polumbus also must have a strong game. The Redskins’ interior linemen struggled to fend off Philadelphia’s pass rushers, and Griffin got sacked three times, hit another nine times. Griffin – normally never one to criticize his teammates – said of the Eagles, “They had some gaping holes to come through and get me.” Washington’s linemen must do better this week. It’s a copycat league, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Packers run some of the same blitz packages if they think they can exploit that weakness. How will the Redskins adapt?"


The Redskins have a lot more issues to deal with than the Packers. This could be a 38 to 17 game.

A couple of thoughts:

No playoff team has started the season 0-2 since 2008.

Aaron Rodgers has never beaten the Washington Redskins.

I think the Redskins start the season 0-2.

Offense moves the ball well enough and the defense keeps RGIII in check for most of the game before conceding some garbage points: 31-21.

    Our back end is just as big of a problem as theirs. We are evenly matched there and I think this is the game the Skins pass rush gives us fits for a while. We need to run game to catch on a bit and I think it will. That is why I think the game stays uncomfortably close for a while but we will have our opportunities for big plays no doubt.

      beast (9h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.
      beast (9h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty
      Mucky Tundra (21h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty
      beast (23h) : Cowboys denied Bears request
      Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game
      Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??
      Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

      Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison
      Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact
      Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product
      Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy
      Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference
