The Philly game really didn't help me figure out what we're made of this year. The Eagles offense is so unique that it's difficult to predict how our D will handle a more traditional offense, such as the Packers. Our offense during the first half was an aberration (at least I hope so). Our offense in the second half was better, but that doesn't mean a whole lot to me because of the circumstances (down by 4 scores and the Eagles defense backing off).
I believe that the 'Skins of the the second half of last season are the real 'Skins. We won't have another case of the"can't-go-rights."
Skins 30
Packers 24

Like Ryan Kerrigan said: if you want to be the best you have to beat the best. Skins get their act together and kick ass in GB.

Yup exactly. Want respect in this league you walk into GB and take a W for them.

I think our secondary is in for a real long day Sunday. A real long day. We're going to need some turnovers to win this game. If there was anytime for Orakpo to dominate it's this week.
Yup, Rak is going up against a rookie left tackle, Bakhtiari. Rak needs to own him.

If Rak cant get to AR this week then it's time to just call it like it is.

GB is missing their starting LT (Bulaga) and if I'm not mistaken another starting OL. Our DL will do well against them as will RGIII, he seems to have shed most of the rust in the 2nd half. The skins will be more prepared than week 1.If Orakpo doesn't make a significant impact against a backup LT, I would be concerned. I've contended that while Rak is a superior athlete, Kerrigan is the superior playmaker, and more worthy of a big contract when the time comes.

They both tend to disappear for entire stretches of games and seasons. Neither have proven to be great pass rushers yet either.

They will both play more next week with normal Offense especially Jenkins on most 3rd downs and tapp will get his burn as well
