Green Bay's offense is smarter than Detroits. They will use more people in protection and Favre will make better reads. He's been playing Lights-Out so far. AND Green Bay has a pretty tough swarming defense themselves. Playing them at home will be the toughest game we'll have to play so far this year. Our guys can handily win this game, but they have to give 100% effort just like they did at home. I hate the way teams that have dominant performances when they're not exactly used to it, sit around and pat themselves on the back and don't properly execute the next week.

I think the preparation and execution next week will be the biggest litmus test of how the future of the Redskins looks at present.

I kept hearing over and over that the Redskins were facing the league's top passing offense coming into the week. I don't know it it was true, but the Lions have NO run game.

The Packers are very similar. Great passing, no run game. They have been throwing random RBs who are all hurt into the mix every week. The only thing their offense has over Detriot's is Brett Favre.

We should be able to limit Favre, not shut him down, but I think our D will do well enough to get us the win.
