Redskins vs. Packers predictions

Gmanc711 · 10-10-2007, 11:51 PM

This is a very interesting game....I think that the Lions game may have brought about a "Swagger" in this team that could carry on for the entire season (not saying we'll win every game, but we might have learned how to go out and striaght up win games)....Now I think this game from a matchup standpoint goes right into our game plan...especially defensivley. We want to force them to pass, they wont be able to run that well on us...The key to me is the defensive line and how they play against the Packer Offensive line. The Packers are no Lions, and it will be much tougher than it was last week...If we can get the pressure on Favre to force him to make bad decisions, than I think we win the game....

On offense, if we can establish any sort of running game/ball control, I think we will be in good shape. The Bears put up 27 on this defense, and I think our offense is much better than theirs....

I'll say Skins 24 Packers 20, but who knows. Lambeau is never an easy place to play, but I think this could be a statement type game for us.

Does anyone on this site think we might actually lose this game?

For some reason, the score 21-14 keeps kicking around in my head. So there you have it. Skins score the winning touchdown with a deep pass to, of all people, Brandon Lloyd, with 2:28 remaining in the 4th quarter.

Rocky Mac picks Favre late to seal the deal.

Like I said in my prior prediction I think GB will win because they lost last week and are at home. I would not be surprised to see the Skins win but I think when they need to score fast at the end of the game to win, confusion and delay by the coaches will once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. If the Skins were at home I'd have them winning no problem but I think they are still a little too inexperienced to win this one on the road.

So your telling me the Patriots-Cowboys game isn't the only NFL Contest this weekend? Wow, I'm not sick of hearing about that one already.

Green Bay scores first, Redskins down 10-7 at the half. Skins score on the first possession of the 2nd on a field goal to tie. Jason hits Santana over the top for a 65 yard TD to end the third quarter. Green Bay hits a field goal in the fourth. Favre attempts to mount a comeback at the end but falls short when Fred Smoot picks off an ill advised throw intended for James Jones. Skins win 17-13, Jason goes for 220 and a TD but spreads the ball around and doesn't make mistakes, Portis gets 90 and a score, Betts finally contributes with 60 on the ground. Skins grind it out for the most part, defense holds strong, leave Green Bay with a hard fought victory.

This is going to be a tough game. It will be the loudest AWAY game we have played in some time. I think the D will play well, but you can only contain Favre so much and he will get his shots.

Skins must run the ball well with CP/Betts/Sellers to keep the stingy Green Bay defense off of Campbell.

Skins 19 (4 fg's and a late CP TD to seal it)
Pack 12 (4 Fg's)

Thats gonna be hard to sit through.

I'll give you the low down from a packer fan perspective.

The biggest part of the game is going to be turnovers. Farve has been good this year and has only really had one bad INT (to Urlacher), but if he gets behind he starts to just chuck it anywhere. However, I am hoping that the packers will start off with some conservative passes, and run the ball almost a 50% ratio. This will most definatly change if there is even the slightest sign of unsuccess. Where I hypothesize the game will be won is in the Packer D getting some ever turnovers. I am looking for 2INTs, and at least one sack from Arron Kampman or KGB resulting in a fumble (they have been getting very close and seem due).

I feel that success for the Redskins will only come from running the ball, or from some sort of fluke Redskin TDs (Kick/Punt TDs, fumbles, etc.) that will put them in the lead early and cause Farve to get risky. It is true that the packers have been horrible covering TEs, but you gotta figure they will catch on sometime and it maybe this week with a chance of both Moss and Randel el being out.

What redskin fans want to be afraid of is: Lambeau Field, Packer D, and watch out for Vernand Morency (He is coming of an injury and is about to peak). There is alot of emotion in Lambeau and this is a huge game, because there is a Bye week after this and the Pack don't want to go into that with 2 losses. I am afraid of Clinton Portis and Betts breaking big plays, I truly feel Campbell is due for a bad week.

But either way good luck and congrads on a good record.

Monksdown · 10-11-2007, 11:59 AM

Yeah, Santana's playing. And Jason Campbell has a 7.7 yds/pass attempt. Brett has a 7.3. We have a running game, you don't. And we've got the 3rd toughest defense in the league based on yardage.

We have given up 4 touchdowns this season, lowest in the league. The Packers have given up 9.

Your argument will be that we havent played anyone. I retort, everyone is discounting how explosive Detroits offense is now. they werent last week before we crushed them.
