Rob Kelly has made a difference because he's a north-south runner who makes yards after contact but do not underestimate the ability of our OL to run block. I studied the OL tape after the Vikings game and they were moving people off the LOS. Even our TE's blocked well, considering that they are better known as receivers.

Another player who deserves recognition is Spencer Long. He has given us a powerful presence at C and he drove Linval Joseph, who is a load, out of position time and again. Long also pulled well and made his blocks on the move. He is a much improved player.

In short, I believe our running game will be able to do what it needs to do against the Packers. Maybe we won't run wild but we'll get positive yardage and keep their defense honest.

100% agreed! Especially the bold statement!

I have a bad feeling about the game. I hope the Skins really are moving away from the 2000-2014 skins that got blown out on prime time on a regular basis. Tomorrow's game has the potential to be a season changer for good or bad. I will be nervous about it all bloody day.

I have hope that we will win the game but i'm nervous too. Any time a team is on a losing skid, or struggling really bad, they always play the redskins and then all of a sudden they look like All Pros again.

Again, i have hope, but like you say it could be really bad.

I'm absolutely shocked that fans would have a bad feeling coming into a game.

Well the Vikings fit that description and we beat them.

Intuitive fans recognize a trap game when they see one.

The ones that aren't really producing anyway. We are a wildcard team at best still and still need a few pieces on the defense to take the next step.

Um, I think you missed the point I was trying to make. What they said about the Redskins wasn't the issue. It was something that made our article stand out from all the others.

I expect Cravens to make an impact tonight.

The Redskins play bad on national tv..maybe this game will be different. this may be the most telling game this year of where the Skins are. my guess is If the Skins win it will be close..I hope i'm wrong and they step it up in prime time and lay it on.

Why is that? Whenever we get any good press and they talk up the other team as being on a slide we tend to blow those games. Games in which you originally thought should be a probable W at that point instead is a L. Look at the Lions right now, letting Jacksonville stay in the game while they should be killing them. Another thing, NFL.com analysts had the NFC North being swept this weekend. Things aren't looking that way now. Usually whenever these ESPN/NFL.com guys get hooked on a losing streak by one or more teams, they tend go with the other teams, jumping on the bandwagon s o to speak only to be proven wrong. Just the way it seems to work. They have the Bills RIPed then they start to win, etc. They already RIPed the Pack once this season, then for one game they came alive. I hope they don't come alive tonight. I am not talking conspiracy here, just that these morons in the press latch onto a team's woes too late and are made to look like the imbeciles that they truly are.

This time they are low key. Going into Detroit they were high on their press and made it clear that they "owned the east", only to lose in the last minute to the Lions. This hopefully is the game they iron out their red zone woes.

I get what you mean now, and that seems to be with any article written about the Skins. What they are doing with Cousins is moronic. They talk up as if his wrs and tes are propping him up, while Dak is a QB god of some sort. Who cares he has the best line in the NFL and has the best Rb to boot. Redskins are never seen in a totally glowing light, just lukewarm feeling conveyed in various articles.

Well, it is a prime time game. We hardly ever play good in prime time.
