Packers/Redskins Wildcard Week Discussion Thread

[pbmax]

Was it my imagination, or was Linsley manhandled and walked back into the RB by Kendricks on Sunday?

I don't remember that but its possible. His pass blocking has taken a step back. Teams must have found something on him.

More distressing was that two guy whiff with Lane Taylor and Linsley when they both let a DT get loose as they went out wide. That was the Vikes game right? Looked like Buster Keaton sketch.

Packer Report @PackerReport 2h2 hours ago
For #Packers, Bakhtiari is questionable and Shields doubtful. Randall, added to report on Thursday, is probable. List steady at 18 players.

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13 2h2 hours ago
Sam Shields (concussion) is doubtful on the latest injury report. Bakhtiari, Elliott, Datone Jones and Perillo are questionable.

Momentum of entering NFL playoffs on a winning streak really doesn't matter http://www.footballoutsiders.com/gam...f-preview-2016 …




THANK GOD!

Momentum is not measured by wins alone. Against Vikings, Packers were on a huge roll until Rodgers' INT! . In AZ, Tolzien had a 100% completion percentage. These are things the Packers can build on!

A prediction, if it comes true, brings back the Fuckdoggle thread:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...ue-for-packers

Jeff Janis breaks out for Packers

As uninspiring as the Packers have been for three months, they are going to need a secret weapon to beat a Redskins team playing their best ball of the season. That weapon is special teams dynamo Jeff Janis, who will finally inject a much-needed speed element into a somnambulant offense. Janis will make a pair of game-changing plays against a suspect Redskins secondary that has a dirty habit of blowing coverages and missing tackles at inopportune times. The Packers will pull off the "upset," buoyed by their fifth wide receiver. -- Chris Wesseling

[Fritz]

I have been told that Janis reads Packerrats, and that once he found out about the Fuckdoggle, he went nuts. He loved it. So he deliberately dialed back his wide receiver play, to set up this very scenario. He wants a playoff Fuckdoggle, bad.

As to the game, I think the loss of Shields and Jones is really going to hurt this defense. In fact, after reading all of us talking about a game that will be some kind of defensive struggle - that kind of 17-13, 22-19 kind of thing - what I predict will happen is that the final score will be something like 41-38. It'll be like a 1983 Packer playoff game, and we'll all be asking what the hell happened to our defense that day.

With the injuries and the opposition, it seems to be trending that way. Good observation.

Does any player go so deep into the rabbit hole that they read Packer Rats?

I hope so.

[pbmax]

Their girlfriend's do. Has to have happened.

[Fritz]

Torrance Marshall's girlfriend was never quite the same after she did.

[red]

maybe we did throw that last game so we could go on the road and play the skins, they are the one team in the playoffs that i think we have a shot at beating

we also know our team sucks in the cold, and it will be damn cold in green bay tomorrow

maybe there is someone smart in this organization that looks and thinks ahead?????????


LOL, nah
