Agreed, but I don't see the Packers coaches and players looking at the game much differently whether the Redskins win or lose. This would be a huge win for the Packers, giving them home field advantage next week, probably going up against the Giants VS going home (Redskin win) or playing on the road against the Seahawks or possibly the Lions again?
I seriously doubt many players go through the machinations of who and where they will play under the various scenarios. If somebody started reciting in the locker room what you just wrote he'd be told to shut the h*ll up.
What I would expect them to know is that if Washington loses the Packers are in the playoffs and if they beat Detroit they win the division. Those are nice, simple, single variable equations that captures what's most important.
As they come out to warm up they'll be checking the scoreboard. If Washington goes down, that would certainly be a relief. That relief could be a plus or a minus...it could mean playing loose (good) or playing relaxed (bad).
Echoing the Captain's sentiment above, I would expect the offense to play like it really matters even if a Washington loss is posted. The defense has that nasty habit of going soft and unfocused when they think they have something in the bag. That's not a comforting thought against a team that surely has confidence in their ability to come from behind.
