However, I am hoping that the packers will start off with some conservative passes, and run the ball almost a 50% ratio. This will most definatly change if there is even the slightest sign of unsuccess. Where I hypothesize the game will be won is in the Packer D getting some ever turnovers. I am looking for 2INTs, and at least one sack from Arron Kampman or KGB resulting in a fumble (they have been getting very close and seem due).
I feel that success for the Redskins will only come from running the ball, or from some sort of fluke Redskin TDs (Kick/Punt TDs, fumbles, etc.) that will put them in the lead early and cause Farve to get risky. It is true that the packers have been horrible covering TEs, but you gotta figure they will catch on sometime and it maybe this week with a chance of both Moss and Randel el being out.
What redskin fans want to be afraid of is: Lambeau Field, Packer D, and watch out for Vernand Morency (He is coming of an injury and is about to peak). There is alot of emotion in Lambeau and this is a huge game, because there is a Bye week after this and the Pack don't want to go into that with 2 losses. I am afraid of Clinton Portis and Betts breaking big plays, I truly feel Campbell is due for a bad week.
But either way good luck and congrads on a good record.

Nice post and welcome to the Board. I've been patrolling, as opposed to trolling, a Packers fan website and noticed that many Packers fans are underrating our team. I don't think that we will win only if we score on some "fluke" play. Our defense is straight up nasty (ranked 3rd v. Packers' 17th ranked D). Our offense can be pretty explosive, with weapons like Cooley, Moss, Randle El, Portis, and Betts.
I think this will be a close game, but I can't see your offense scoring more than 21 points and I see our offense posting at least 17 points. In the end, I give the nod to the Skins by at least a FG. In any event, cheers to a good, injury-free game.
