Packers squeak by!

[mrklean]

but at least rogers isn't getting sacked 5 times a game i guess

[CJH]

Look at all you Cheese Heads already starting to make excuses. Injurys are a part of the game. Should be a cake walk for the Vikings to win the division once again even with the slow start. Look forward to another mooning from the Superfreak!!

I'd have to put ear plugs on from all the crying if the postions were reversed!!!

[nonteepical]

they better hope mathews dosen't get split ends or he'll be out for the season.

[PierBridge]

That will work nicely!!!!!!!

Pack don't squeak by this week!

[james_walleye]

The officials finally realized in OT that packer defenders are subject to interference calls just as every other NFL defender is.

[fishersofmen]

Yep Woodson didn't get away with his holding like he did with the Lions. With the additional injury's today look for a fast downward spiral for this club.

P.S. The Skins looked horrible today as well.

[zamboni]

Most over-rated QB of all-time. Yep, puts up huge numbers, he should- he passes EVERY DOWN.

This years Packers squad is over-rated as well. Lions should have beat them last week

[mrklean]

another week even more injuries and this week they were serious Rodgers, Finley, and Matthews they need a bye week to rest up

[CJH]

Lost more play-makers, which is never a good thing. Mathews was dominant, and the Packers had control of the game until he went out. Here's an interesting tidbit:

The Washington Post pointed out a glaring discrepancy in the Redskins’ offensive performance before and after Matthews was in the game. Take a look at the numbers:

With Matthews in the game for a little more than three quarters, the Redskins scored 3 points and generated 9 first downs, 172 total yards, 133 passing yards and completed 48% of their passes.

With Matthews out of the game for most of the fourth quarter and overtime, the Redskins scored 13 points and produced 12 first downs, 201 total yards, 189 passing yards and completed 58.3% of their passes.

Here is the updated injury list (don't know extent of new injuries) :

Ryan grant out season

Morgan Burnett out season

Nick barnett maybe out season

Al Harris miss first 6 games?

Bigby first 6 games maybe more

Chillar hurt who knows

Justin Harrell out season

Clay Mathewes - Hamstring (TBD)

Jermichael Finley - Hamstring Tendon (TBD)

Ryan Picket - Ankle (TBD)

Aaron Rogers - Concussion (TBD)

Mark Tauscher - Shoulder (TBD)

Donald Lee - Shoulder (TBD)

Derick Martin - Ankle (TBD)

Collins is banged up but played, so I removed him from the list. Tough to win with that many key injuries, including 8 starters. Crazy, never seen it this bad and it doesn't bode well for the rest of the season!!

[mrklean]

with Matthews out you really could tell the difference right away McNabb was getting crushed the first half he couldn't do anything then second half Matthews out he has a big half and the pack fall apart. If you look at the NFC no one is good. If the pack was healthy i think they would run away with the NFC now i hope they make the playoffs

[TR21HP]

The Packers are only one of many with an injury list a mile long. I know owners lets play 2 more games, it shouldn't make a difference should it. Pure insanity and greed!

The packers defense was never the problem yesterday. Its the packers offense. Just heard a stat on the radio. In their last 3 games the pack has had 17 4th quarter possessions and scored a total of 1 TD.

[mrklean]

i know it wasnt the problem but if matthews plays the whole game i really think its a pack win the skins get one more fg at best

[CJH]

Finley has a torn Meniscus: out 4-6 weeks.

[mrklean]

yep him and nick b are going under the knife this week only time will tell if nick comes back this year or not

[CJH]

Here is the updated injury list:

Ryan grant - Ankle - out season

Morgan Burnett - Knee - out season

Nick barnett - Wrist - maybe out season

Al Harris - Knee - miss first 6 games?

Bigby - Ankle - first 6 games maybe more

Chillar - Shoulder - trial practice

Justin Harrell - Knee - out season

Clay Mathewes - Hamstring - (TBD)

Jermichael Finley - Hamstring/Tendon/Meniscus - Out for Season

Ryan Picket - Ankle - (TBD)

Aaron Rogers - Concussion - (TBD)

Mark Tauscher - Shoulder - (TBD-DNP)

Donald Lee - Shoulder - Out 3 weeks

Derick Martin - Ankle - Out for Season

Collins is banged up but played, so I removed him from the list. Clifton is in the same boat. No word on whether Barnett is done for the year yet. Not good news on Finley or Martin, both now considered out for the season.

Shields and Chillar both practiced today, so at least some top backups will add some depth, even if it takes them a while to get back in the swing of things.

[mrklean]

man they were thinking finley was 6 weeks at first no good at all but chillar is practicing which is good

[CJH]

Finley is a big loss. Its hard to win without your difference makers.

[mrklean]

haha its hard to win with half of your starters out for the year
