Redskins play well at home, but have not beat a team with a winning record to my knowledge.

We have played like crap recently, but I think we can get some defensive turnovers which will be the difference.

I think we win this one.

Sam Shields is going to be back and he'll certainly be locked on DeSean Jackson.
Damarious Randall on Pierre Garcon
Jordan Reed ... uh oh

David Bahktiari returning will help out the offensive line big time.

Davante Adams had a solid game and that's what he needed to build his confidence.

Redskins inside linebackers are actually worse than the Packers

Will Blackmon is Redskins Nickel corner, that tells you something doesn't it?

Packers went 5 - 3 (Bears, 49ers, Vikings, Lions, Raiders) on the road.
Redskins went 6 - 2 (Rams, Eagles, Buccaneers, Saints, Giants, Bills) at home.

The Packers are going to be healthier on the OL and that should be the difference in a Packers victory.

I think our defense can play well enough as long as the offense doesn't give the ball and points away. With some good play calling from McCarthy for a change the game shouldn't even be close.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

This is exactly the kind of game we usually win on the road. In some way it's very similar to the game we played against Oakland.
An uncommon opponent that is prone to mistakes and doesn't have an elite QB.

It's hard for me to be too positive/confident because of recent games.
I think that the game plan needs to be thrown out the window.
Just call the plays like its the 4th quarter and we are down by 20.
That's how we come away with a win in my view.
Then the SeaSquaks punch the Queens in the mouth, and we go back to Arizona for the next round.

I just want to start my draft research, but I'll root for a win. I'm tired of trying to figure out this year's team. If your defense only allows 13 points at home and you still lose, I mean really WTF.

I was thinking the same think, Troy. You only give up 13 points, hold Adrian Peterson to under 100 yards, you shut down Bridgewater....should be a win.
But our horrible offense has cost us.
If it's going to change, it better be NOW.

It's is interesting on a personal level - my uncle is a skins fan and he is confused by his team. That in itself makes this a fitting match-up - 2 teams that keep their fans scratching their heads.

Our D has been pretty solid, and will be again on Sunday. Their QB is pretty good, but not elite - Cousins is known to throw some dangerous passes when under pressure. If we win up front - their offense will have a long day.

While our offense has been mostly terrible - I think we will see a better performance in this game. Maybe playing against a suspect D will generate some confidence.

I think this is a win for our team. I feel like we will play well enough to come home with a win, with a brutal challenge to follow.

I have a gut feeling that the Packers will win this one and in the "process" the offense looks like their old selves.

Something interesting is that this game is the one and only opportunity for Rodgers to rebound.
If I were Mike McCarthy my game-plan would be to pass the ball a lot against Washington. They have a backup and freaking Will Blackmon as their starting CBs.
So this is a good game to throw the ball on every down and hope Rodgers regains his mojo. If that happens and we get away with a convincing win then the whole playoff picture in the NFC changes because we are the weakest team today but if Rodgers rebounds then nobody will want to play against us.

I'm not sure if time of day matters or should, but this team is 5/6 on the Sunday late afternoon game and our only loss at that time was to the Cardinals. Maybe the hangover is worn off by then, but it is an interesting stat nonetheless.

Maybe the Packers have just been playing possum and are about to unleash a ton of un-scouted looks, Janis and Crockett will become this year's "2010 James Starks" and we rip off a nice 4 game win streak.

This is the least excited about the playoffs that I have ever been. Something to keep in mind, we lose 4 places of draft position with a win and another date for an Arizona beatdown.

But I'll be in the chat rooting on our team. I'm a realist, not a dickhead. Anybody rooting against our team shouldn't be a fan of our team.

He may have reasoned during the bye that they could get a top seed w/o unleashing the full game plan and as things soured he stubbornly stuck to his plan. Things didn't work out, so with odds low of getting a bye, why reveal it to AZ during a regular season game and you can bet when that game was over; whatever surprises lay in store for AZ were stowed.

I'd bet MM never imagined he'd lose to Minn; so why reveal the unscouted looks during the last game, when you can save 'em for when we play Minn in POs.

MM will have at least 52 guys ready to go; if the 53rd joins in we will win 4 in a row, it's a certainty!

I better go, cause i expect to wake when my alarm clock to goes off very soon.
