The Skins players need to keep all of their focus on this game and not read their own press clippings. The Packers are being disrespected by the media and I believe they'll be charged up for this game.

1. Yup. Yup. Yup. Aaron Rodgers has been not been the Aaron Rodgers of old this season, but, if he gets untracked early, he is very capable of putting this team on his back and carrying it to victory.

2. This one doesn't bug so much. I think this team is a group of grinders. "One down, seven to go" was the statement coming off the field Sunday. I doubt this Skins' team is taking the team that knocked them out of the play-offs last year lightly. In fact, my hope is that the Skins shake the monkey off their back and blow these MF's out. I just don't think this is a group that is particularly worried about press clippings.

Yes and no. Same QB and WR's. Same basic D. No Eddie Lacy, but Starks ran VERY effectively against us in that game. They also sacked Cousins six times and we sucked on 3rd down.

I've watched them a couple of times and, while they are not a BAD team, they aren't playing like a GOOD team. Something seems "broken" this year. It's not like us - who seem to be on the verge of breaking out. They seem to be on the verge of complete collapse. Four teams (Cowboys, Atlanta, Indi, & Tenn) scored 30 or more points against them.

This is a beatable team. We have to play as well or better than we played against the Vikings. I think we do that. I think we do it big and set up a very important Thanksgivings day game against the Cowboys.
