Redskins vs. Packers predictions

[PackerBacker]

I'll give you the low down from a packer fan perspective.

The biggest part of the game is going to be turnovers. Farve has been good this year and has only really had one bad INT (to Urlacher), but if he gets behind he starts to just chuck it anywhere. 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.

Yeah, Santana's playing. And Jason Campbell has a 7.7 yds/pass attempt. Brett has a 7.3. We have a running game, you don't. And we've got the 3rd toughest defense in the league based on yardage.

We have given up 4 touchdowns this season, lowest in the league. The Packers have given up 9.

Your argument will be that we havent played anyone. I retort, everyone is discounting how explosive Detroits offense is now. they werent last week before we crushed them.

Allright you did beat the lions last week, but I live in lower michigan and i know about the lions. They are just not that good guys, not discounting anything from your win, but that will probably be the easiest game you will play all year.

[Monksdown]

I am excited for this game. Either way, it'll solidify one of us near the top of the NFC. I wish you the worst of all luck of course.

You don't have to live in Michigan to know the Lions stink, Cheese Packer Backer. You're right though, it probably will be our easiest game, along with the Jets in Week 9.

Lions might suck...but you guys havent played them yet. Once you beat them convincingly, then you can say they suck

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.

Firstly, Welcome to RedskinsWarpath, and thanks for behaving like you intend to come back.

The Packers best hope is to have a 50/50 ratio, but they don't have much of a history of that this year. Morency is also a concern, but when RBs that have limited career touches (152 rushes in three seasons) have durability issues, I find it difficult to see a game-carrying performance out of them. Hopefully, we can keep him from having game-changing runs.

I agree with you that Redskins turnovers will be key - I just think that we will be working all week to limit them, since that was our weakest point last game.

Again, thanks for being a reasonable visitor, and welcome.

Thanks for the viewpoint from a Packers' fan. But to me, it seems you are hoping to win - hoping that Campbell will have a bad day, hoping that the Packers will cover TEs better, hoping Morency breaks out, hoping that the pass rush forces turnovers, hoping that there will be balance with the Packers offense.

To me, as long as the redskins continue playing the way that they have played (minus Giants second half game), then they will win.
