5 players that Scare me in GB are..
Rodgers
Woodson
Mathews
Finley
Jennings


Rodgers is ELITE and he has plenty of targets but I still see us winning Sunday in a great game.

Before or after the Packers call timeout? (Yeah I'm still sore about that)

No, I was referring to Houston's TO before Gano's first field goal in OT this year.

For some reason it seems like GB plays good against the Skins.

GB-20
WSH-13

Skins run the ball well and pass well enough. Rak has a nice day on the other side of the ball.

Skins 28
Pack 24

I watched the NFL replay last night of the Pack and Lions and the Packers definitely have issues on D. The Lions were able to move the ball all day. Rodgers got off to a hot start and fizzled down the stretch too. They don't have much of a running game to lean on. Shaun Hill put up some big numbers passing and even had some big plays on scrambles.

I think we'll see a similar approach on defense that we saw last week, alot of cover 2 with rushing only 3 or 4, give them the short stuff all day but try to take away the big plays.

They're a good team, but certainly not unbeatable. We can hang with them.

Skins 20-17

I agree this is almost the perfect team for us to play, their weakness compliment our strengths very well. The one X factor is Rogers and our secondary but with no running game we should be able to send some help out there.

Well, I gave blood (literally) to see this game, so even with my nosebleed seats, I hope we beat the bejeebers out of them. I don't have a stellar record though, I think the Skins are like 1 and 8 (or some other horrible record) when I go to the game.

That said: 31-24 Skins win a true shootout.

Packers-Redskins Week 5 Dope Sheet

GB has won 4 straight over Was

[skinsfaninok]

UNDER PRESSURE

* After recording six sacks in Week 1 at Philadelphia, the most by any NFL team on opening weekend, the Packers have followed that performance up with 10 more sacks in the next three games.
* Green Bay’s 16 sacks as a team through Week 4 are tied for the NFL lead with the N.Y. Giants and Tennessee. The Packers lead the league in sack yardage with 113 yards.
* The Packers' 16 sacks through the first four games are the most by a Green Bay defense to start the season since the 2001 squad registered 20 in the opening four contests.
* The 16 sacks are also the second most in a four-game span in Head Coach Mike McCarthy's four-plus seasons, trailing only the 17 posted by the Packers in 2006 (Weeks 7-10).
* Seven of the sacks have come courtesy of LB Clay Matthews, who leads the NFL in that category. DE Cullen Jenkins, who ranks second on the team with four sacks, has posted a sack in each game as well, the first time in his seven-year career that he has recorded one in four straight games. Green Bay is one of only two teams in the league to have two players with four-plus sacks (Kiwanuka/Umenyiora, N.Y. Giants).
* With Jenkins registering a sack in four consecutive games, this is the second straight year that the Green Bay defense has had a player accomplish that feat. Matthews posted sacks in four straight contests in 2009 (Weeks 12-15). The last Packer to register a sack in five straight games was Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (2000-01).
* The Packers’ six sacks in Week 1 were the most in a season opener by Green Bay since 2001, when the Packers registered seven sacks against the Lions on Sept. 9 at Lambeau Field. It was also the most in a game under McCarthy, matching the total of six vs. Detroit on Dec. 17, 2006.
* The Packers are already well ahead of their sack pace from last season, when Green Bay’s 16th sack didn’t come until Week 10 vs. Dallas.
* Green Bay posted four or more sacks in a game three times in 2009 on the way to 37 for the season, which ranked tied for 11th in the league.

STARTING FAST

* The opening drives of a half set the tone for a team, and Green Bay’s offense is off to a fast start in that area this season.
* When QB Aaron Rodgers connected with WR Donald Driver on a 29-yard TD pass on the opening drive of the game vs. Detroit last Sunday, it was the second time in four games that the Packers scored a TD on their first drive. Their 17 points this season on the first drives of the game rank No. 2 in the NFL behind only Indianapolis’ 21 points. Green Bay ranked tied for No. 6 in the NFL in 2009 with 37 points on opening drives.
* The Packers have also scored TDs twice in four games on their opening drive of the second half. Those 14 points rank tied for No. 3 in the NFL, and Green Bay is already well ahead of its pace from 2009 when it scored 20 points all season on opening second-half-drives (No. 20).
* The Packers did not score a touchdown on the first drive of the second half all of 2008, part of a 34-game span without a TD on the first possession after halftime that started late in 2007 and ran all the way until Week 16 vs. Seattle last season.
* Green Bay snapped that streak with a 6-yard TD run from RB Brandon Jackson against the Seahawks last season, and have now scored on the opening drive of the second half in four of the past six regular-season games.
