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

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...

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 what it needs to do against the Packers. Maybe we won't run wild but we'll get positive yardage and keep their defense honest.

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

100% agreed! Especially the bold statement!

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.

Well the Vikings fit that description and we beat them.

I'm absolutely shocked that fans would have a bad feeling coming into a game.

Intuitive fans recognize a trap game when they see one.

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.

Well, it is a prime time game. We hardly ever play good in prime time.
