The Wrong Game at the Wrong Time

With my beloved Washington Redskins looking to turn their season around, things couldn't look more bleak. The Packers come calling this sunday. Two weeks ago, this game looked like a winnable matchup. But in the past two weeks, Green Bay's offense has lit up opposing defenses for 79 points and 914 yards. I don't know if the Skins have that much offense in their 6 games thus far.

Meanwhile, the Green Bay rush defense looks much more stout with the return of Grady Jackson. The Packers defense is still nothing to fear. Their secondary is a joke. Unfortunately, so was Chicago's and Cleveland's. Mark Brunell didn't exactly light them up. No reason to suspect he'll turn things around this week.

The Redskins defense looks good on paper, but who have they played? Tampa, New York, Dallas, Cleveland, Baltimore, and Chicago. Not exactly offensive powerhouses.

This game will get ugly by early in the third quarter.

The Packers have too many weapons for the Skins to handle. Pack wins 27-17.

The loss will drop the Redskins to 2-5 (dashing any slim post-season hopes) and guarantee a Kerry victory.
