Redskins Game day thread

[mongoosev]

T.J. Lang, Ty Montgomery, Damarious Randall, Jake Ryan and JC Tretter didn't practice today. David Bakhtiari, Randall Cobb, Micah Hyde, Clay Matthews and Quinten Rollins were limited participants.

lingering injuries or are they just eating at fast food restaurants that make their bodies so damn fragile that they get injured during practice?

 

[Sky King]

I wonder if Christine's sister, Ralph, will be helping him set-up his new place.

 

[HardRightEdge]

In a way I wouldn't be surprised if we did win this game.

I wouldn't either. If Cobb and Montgomery are up to it (both questionable as of today), with Starks back and Cook set to return, there will be a full compliment of possession weapons to get the ball control passing game back on track. It's not mission impossible...if they choose to accept it.

Hyde, Rollins, Matthews, Ryan, Randall: questionable

Bakhtiari, Lang: questionable

Some of these other guys need to get back in the line-up or it will be a long night. I don't see how you get by without these 9 starters and key rotational guys, or make it 11 counting Shields and Lacy. It's not like they were tearing it up when most of these guys were healthy.

The guys are rallying around the coach with the media circling like vultures:

That's a plus. However these are the offensive guys. Are defensive guys rallying around anybody?

What happened to Ty?

According to the Packers injury report Montgomery missed yesterday's practice because of an illness. That makes me worried about his ability to deal with this sickle cell trait.

 

[Half Empty]

Seahawks are waiving Christine Michael. We should sign him for the rest of the year.

Ask, and you shall receive.

 

[Pkrjones]

Redskins are favored by 2.5 pts. and have been scoring early & often, lately. Don't think GB's Defense will do anything to slow them down and they'll probably have 450+ yds. If the Packers have any chance at all it'll be outscoring them... and I'm feeling optimistic on a 38-36 win. The under/over is 50 so I'm betting my mortgage on over .

It also makes me wonder if TT knew of this medical history prior to the drafting of Montgomery. If not for the ankle problem last season we may have seen this pattern of unavailability (for this hereditary medical condition) as early as last season. Drafting Montgomery was a huge gamble.

Now those are words spoken by a true Packer fan!

Actually Montgomery missed yesterday's practice because of a slight stomach bug which is unrelated to the sickle cell trait. My bad.

 

[rodell330]

If McCarthys plan is to get RIchard Rogers involved in the offense and lining him up out wr in 4 wr sets I guarantee you we won't win. That's the dumbest formation of "WRs" I've ever seen.

Uuuuhh......does that apply to like, anything?

Well, it seems to be good, I'm just hoping that's not a fake defense though. I mean, I don't doubt Rodgers's seriousness, it's just it's one thing to be at odds with your coach, but I tend to think nobody likes the media weighing in on this kind of thing and in that case, the defense mechanisms automatically go up about it. It's just something I wonder because our team is just not one to go leaking internal struggles out there and they like to handle things behind closed doors. I mean I guess we'll see how it plays out, but I'm still concerned that there are things going on back there.

I think you are correct that our team keeps internal struggles internal. The team doesn't have a lot of loudmouths. That is by design imo.
Of course, that is much to the chagrin of some posters on this forum who would prefer a more verbally entertaining team that provides them all the juicy inside info they crave.

Has anyone noticed the influx of newer or suddenly returned posters over the past three weeks?

 

[Sky King]

Anything could still happen, including salvaging this season. I'm still a little bit hopeful though my confidence in this team has been shaken. My fingers are crossed that the game against Redskins will help them get back on track.

Fire the team nutritionist!

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

How pathetic is it that our only rushing TD's (3) in 9 games have come from Aaron Rodgers? Blount with NE has 12 and 3 other backs each have 9.

I'm pretty sure there's a Black Friday deal where the price to join is lower for the next few weeks.

For some, it's the only reason to show up....

I agree that it's pathetic but to be fair our running backs have had a limited amount of rushing attempts this season.

Hopefully Christine Michael will provide help in that area as he had six rushing touchdowns on only 117 attempts for the Seahawks this season.

 

[C-Lee]

If we win and both Minny and Detroit lose, are we in 1st?

 

[Mondio]

until we have a better record than Minny, they'll be a half game ahead I think because of head to head. regardless the Packers have to start winning and continue. Things look bleak, but if they stay close, they play both these teams at the end of the year and close up a game or 2 gap and beating both of those teams will take care of tie breakers mostly.
