I don't know how much to lend to stats this early in the year, but they are what they are. Detroit and Green Bay are very similar in their rushing and passing rankings.
Rushing - both right around 25 attempts for around 100 YPG
DET-30
GB-31
Passing - both right around 40 attempts for around 270-300 YPG
DET-5
GB-1
While a similar gameplan "should" work, I think that the fact that GB has had a week to study what we did to Detroit, we will have to tweak the defensive gameplan a little. Maybe bring a few more blitzes, or disguise coverages to keep Favre guessing. Hopefully that works, and our offense is able to get it going again.
Unfortunately, I think home field advantage will play a big part in this game and be the difference.

Didn't you predict a loss last week too?
Are you sure you're a Skins fan? ;)
How many more wins until you learn your lesson? :spank:

Here's my fear in this game - we were careless with the ball against Detroit, and Green Bay is better on defense than the Lions. That should keep things closer than I'd like.
But hey, a win is a win.

If this game was in DC I'd pick the Skins but its not. I think GB will be pissed about losing last week and so will their fans. I think all that noise will lead to problems for the Skin's O. It will be a close game but once again delay and confusion trying to call plays fast at the end of the game will cost the Skins the W.

The D gameplan will have to be tweaked but maybe not too much. I think GB will try to run the way they did against the bears. Plus, we'll likely have to blitz Favre to get some pressure, just a matter of how much. I hope when we're in the cover 2 that our corners can gamble on those slants. Once Chicago took that away it was a different game.
I see us having trouble running the ball and for that reason the O gameplan might more closely resemble last week's than the D. I think AS was given more freedom by Gibbs. We passed on 1st down a lot, used the pass to set up the run.
Let's face it, right now we can't pound the ball on anybody in the 1st half. The right side of the line might need more time. Detroit shut our running game down until we had a good lead & their D was on the field all day. We've got to continue to throw on 1st & 2nd downs & be unpredictable.
This game might be very ugly, but we win after picking Favre at least twice.

ST with a pick-six that will be the difference.

Well said Freddy....
Ahhh....I see few less Redskins loss predictions so far after last week. Thats good, cause we're going to continue to roll.
Gregg Williams and Greg Blanche are licking their chops at another oppurtunity to CONTROL the direction of the game. Look, we know Detroit did'nt have a running game. Breen Bay does'nt really either. Its used more then Detroit, but when it comes down to it, Green Bay is Favre, and he's going to throw...ALOT! That means the defense will play back like we did last week and try not to give up the "big play." We are bound to get interceptions in this game. Lets just hope we capitalize on them. As I predict this game will be close when all said and done. After all it is *Chris Berman voice* "THE FROZEN TUND"... Oh wait!...Its 70 degrees in October in Lambeau Field right now...hehehe
