Packers/Redskins Wildcard Week Discussion Thread

He's a Viking fan I believe.

He is actually. Since he went full time PFT he tries not to be I think but a real fan can't make it go away at will.

Mid 50's and rain in Washington Sunday. Temperature in Minnesota supposed to be around 0 at game time.

It's likely to be about -20 windchill or worse. Should be fun as hell throwing the ball Russ.

I think it's a winnable game now that I see the Skins defense is slower than the Packers' offense.

But I don think you can expect much after that.

You never know Fritz:



FIRE in a bottle.

GO PACK GO !

Early...the NFL Experts are leaning towards a Washington win over Green Bay.

I'm seeing the Line as 'a Pick'....in one source I trust to this out of Vegas:

" Green Bay Packers @ Washington Redskins is the only wild-card playoff game that isn’t a rematch from the regular season.

It’s also the only game in which the home team is favored, though that might change later in the week.

Green Bay is getting one point in their visit to Washington, having lost six of their last 10 games. The Redskins have won four games in a row."

GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !!

Somewhere, Bud Grant is smiling.

If that prediction holds what will that be, the 4th rain game of the year?

[Bossman641]

Holy crap. And Shields is no longer participating.

17 players on the injury report....that's a season high. Things are not trending in the right direction.

Hi dsilby: Welcome to Packerrrats.

Mad will verify the TRUTH but many of us have been here about a decade now.

** MadtownPacker (By the way dsilbhy: We affectionally refer to **him... the Owner of Packerrats... as Mad...sometimes he gets 'the Mexican. ***

Mad.....are we soon celebrating Ten *** Years? LOL ... I had to edit that from Ten ***Tears.

I feel that Packerrats is a very cool Packer forum. Sometimes it does get to be like a good street fight but everyone survives until Mad is absolutely forced by common sense and the screams of too many. To toss a member.

Overall it should serve you well. Have fun here...don't be shy....post often.

If anyone gives you a hard time. . . . PM me...I'll beat Em up. CHEERS !


GO PACKERS !c GO PACK GO !!

Thanks for the kind wishes! I have just shy of 11K posts there, so be careful what you wish for!!

+1

Washington is at home, that is their only edge. Sure, their offense has been more productive that the Packer offense, but the Packer D is light years ahead of the Washington D.

If it weren't for the possibility of the offense digging a hole in the ground and burying itself, I would say the line is too favorable to the Skins.

I am not on Yoop's bandwagon yet, but I think they win this game more comfortably than most expect.

Lane Taylor plays one game, then hits the injury list as a limited participant? Now there's a guy who knows how to blend in with a group!

^Its part of the initiation into the starting lineup. You have to have an injury idiom. Sitton has toe and back. Lang has concussion. Bulaga hip. Bach (who I think the team calls Bank) has leg issues.

Lang also has shoulder injuries I believe.

And speaking of Sitton, didn't he also have toe problems last year? I wonder why he didn't get it cleaned up in the offseason. If I remember right he just rested, hoping that would take care of the issue.

I heard or read this week for the first time that Lang will likely have shoulder surgery this off season

James Jones speaking the truth.

"You've got to look at yourself in the mirror and correct stuff," Jones said. "You can't be sugar coating nothing. It's not the real thing. If we ain't scoring points, we ain't scoring points. You can't go in the mirror and look in there and say we're scoring points.

"Everybody in here is a professional. They're a man. We know what we've got to do. We've got to pull our weight. We've got to score some points and they know we've got to get this thing rolling if we want to get to where we've got to go."

Well, we have a winner of the cliche contest. I'm shocked he didn't mention giving 110%

JJ needs to ditch the hoody this week.
