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.

Agreed Luigis.

I hate that Mike McCarthy has to cave into Rodgers' terrorist demands; but it's he only way. Plus with a Lacy's overweight asthma and Starks looking first not to fumble will only be able to run if Wash is looking pass.

Special teams will win this game.

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 Mike McCarthy 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.
Mike McCarthy 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.
