Packers related but this seems, if true, like Rodgers might be suffering from some kind of mental illness or something. I know people get pissed off at their families but this seems like going to the extreme when you read the lengths that he's went to to stay away[/quote]

Two sides to every story. Maybe his parents are the kind of "famous people parents" that try to use their kids' celebrity for financial gain. Or maybe they were leeching off his money. Idk the whole story so I won't judge A-rod too harshly for it.

I don't see that happening against the 4th ranked rush defense, but it would be nice to McVay establish some kind of running game...

Re: Packers Pre Game
 

[quote=KI Skins Fan;1155514]There are only two things that concern me about this game.

1. Aaron Rodgers. He is a future HOF QB who can have a huge game at any time.

2. The fact that the Packers are currently underdogs in this game and some in the Press are predicting that we'll run them out of the stadium. The Skins players need to keep all of their focus on this game and not read their own press clippings. The Packers are being disrespected by the media and I believe they'll be charged up for this game.[/quote]

The media thing worries me the most. When these idiots declare a team dead, they usually come back on fire the very next week. Our players say stupid crap as well, even if we only win one game. Remember the "We own the East" comment? The very next week we play like crap against the Lions and lose. Yeah we came back in the 4th quarter, but we were sucking bad for 3 quarters of play. This team needs to have a reality check at all times. We win one game doesn't mean we are a great team. Our record the last 3 games is 1-1-1, not a great record. Get hungry, stay hungry and get to the big dance, then strut and dab, etc. Just win baby!!!!!!!!!!

I think it was a fair article. The only comment about us that was different than the others listed as fairly better was that he added we were still are a team in transition. I don't think that is a bad thing, just an observation, and pretty much on the money. Scotty is still building and a lot of these stop gap guys on the defense won't be around 2 years from now. The ones that aren't really producing anyway. We are a wildcard team at best still and still need a few pieces on the defense to take the next step.

The most important thing that we're now able to do with our running game is to get positive yardage and avoid negative yardage. That is especially important on first down. Three or four yards rushing on first down sets up the offense to run just about any play they want to run.

Rob Kelly has made a difference because he's a north-south runner who makes yards after contact but do not underestimate the ability of our OL to run block. I studied the OL tape after the Vikings game and they were moving people off the LOS. Even our TE's blocked well, considering that they are better known as receivers.

Another player who deserves recognition is Spencer Long. He has given us a powerful presence at C and he drove Linval Joseph, who is a load, out of position time and again. Long also pulled well and made his blocks on the move. He is a much improved player.

In short, I believe our running game will be able to do [U]what it needs to do[/U] against the Packers. Maybe we won't run wild but we'll get positive yardage and keep their defense honest.

Re: Packers Pre Game
 

So we signed a long snapper to replace ailing Nick Sundberg. Who gets cut? Mack Brown? Put Sunberg in IR? Other?

The Redskins waived defensive tackle Jordan Hill to sign Lovato.

100% agreed! Especially the bold statement!

Re: Packers Pre Game
 

I have a bad feeling about the game. I hope the Skins really are moving away from the 2000-2014 skins that got blown out on prime time on a regular basis. Tomorrow's game has the potential to be a season changer for good or bad. I will be nervous about it all bloody day.

I have hope that we will win the game but i'm nervous too. Any time a team is on a losing skid, or struggling really bad, they always play the redskins and then all of a sudden they look like All Pros again.

Again, i have hope, but like you say it could be really bad.

Lol...that's all I can do at this point. Have a lil faith folks

Um, I think you missed the point I was trying to make. What they said about the Redskins wasn't the issue. It was something that made our article stand out from all the others.

Re: Packers Pre Game
 

I expect Cravens to make an impact tonight.

Re: Packers Pre Game
 

The Redskins play bad on national tv..maybe this game will be different. this may be the most telling game this year of where the Skins are. my guess is If the Skins win it will be close..I hope i'm wrong and they step it up in prime time and lay it on.

Re: Packers Pre Game
 

[quote=MTK;1155761]I'm absolutely shocked that fans would have a bad feeling coming into a game. :doh:[/quote]

Why is that? Whenever we get any good press and they talk up the other team as being on a slide we tend to blow those games. Games in which you originally thought should be a probable W at that point instead is a L. Look at the Lions right now, letting Jacksonville stay in the game while they should be killing them. Another thing, NFL.com analysts had the NFC North being swept this weekend. Things aren't looking that way now. Usually whenever these ESPN/NFL.com guys get hooked on a losing streak by one or more teams, they tend go with the other teams, jumping on the bandwagon s o to speak only to be proven wrong. Just the way it seems to work. They have the Bills RIPed then they start to win, etc. They already RIPed the Pack once this season, then for one game they came alive. I hope they don't come alive tonight. I am not talking conspiracy here, just that these morons in the press latch onto a team's woes too late and are made to look like the imbeciles that they truly are.

This time they are low key. Going into Detroit they were high on their press and made it clear that they "owned the east", only to lose in the last minute to the Lions. This hopefully is the game they iron out their red zone woes.

I get what you mean now, and that seems to be with any article written about the Skins. What they are doing with Cousins is moronic. They talk up as if his wrs and tes are propping him up, while Dak is a QB god of some sort. Who cares he has the best line in the NFL and has the best Rb to boot. Redskins are never seen in a totally glowing light, just lukewarm feeling conveyed in various articles.

Yeah, I thought we broke the curse back in 2012 when we beat Dallas on Thanksgiving, but after last year's Playoff game & the Steelers earlier this year,
it feels like we still haven't figured out how to show up for the National stage.

There's a tremendously large difference between"hoping" we show up and actually having "confidence" that we will do it tonight.

Re: Packers Pre Game
 

[quote=los panda;1155669]i like it being read by the commentators during the pregame as well.

"this week the ignorant fan keys to the game include;[LIST][*]cravens spying rodgers[*]trent murphy playing fb[*]and blitzing on every down"[/LIST][/quote]

Well, The Skins DID use Cravens to spy Rodgers; they DID use a LB (Bates) at the FB position on the Goal Line; and they DID blitz more than in any other game.

We may have stumbled into something with these [I]Ignorant Fan Keys to the Game[/I]. We ignorant fans are either geniuses or the Skins coaching staff is as ignorant as we are. We did miss the idea of going for it on fourth down in our own territory in the fourth quarter in a close game. That idea was solely Jay Gruden's. We fans are not [U]that[/U] ignorant.
