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.

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.
