It's Redskin's Week

I think he does a lot of great charity work. Dix is a good guy, probably a great athlete, not a great football player. 

Seems like a great kid, would not describe him as a great athlete, probably about average for the position. I just don't think he has the love / drive for football. You see most players continue to gain strength through the first 1-3 years in the league through teams weight training programs. Ha Ha looks exactly the same physically to me since he came in the league. He has to be one of the physically weaker safeties in the league.

Burks to PUP.  Write it down.

Can't be put on PUP, only IR.  He practiced in preseason and played preseason games. He could be IR eligible to recall, but he would still miss 8 weeks. Not sure if they can IR him back to the 1st game like you can in baseball.  

plenty of tickets available,  yesterdays  $ 125.00  all-ready down to  $ 90.00

Kornheiser  not happy

Get used to it 

NFL trending down due to a number of factors

Fans are using caution and slowing down before entering the intersection when they see so many yellows.

It's got to be tough supporting a team with an owner who just seems like kind of a prick.  He's a meddler and it seems like under his ownership, that team will never be anything more than average and often worse than average.

Mike Wilbon said yesterday that he has been to every NFL stadium and that the Redskins have "by far the worst fan game day experience"  in the NFL.

Well that’ll make the Packers lose for sure.... ha ha ha.  

I’d really love to see Stuffed Jebediah show up one day with a Hallmark card and a croc pot of Lil’ Smokies in Hunts BBQ sauce.

I think that is true right now to some extent and the stadium experience just might not be worth it right now.  I lived in DC for a long time and the stadium "experience" at Fedex isnt that great.  It is a royal pain to get to especially from Virginia, it is extremely expensive and you get to watch crappy Daniel Snyderbrenner teams.  The Redskins fans friends of mine tell me it just isnt worth it going to see them in person anymore they are tired of spending the money on a team that has 4 or 5 winning seasons in the last 20 years.  

I would bet that FedEx won't be as empty this week with all the Packers fans that will be there.  Including me 

What's the latest on Kevin King's injury?

I don't know on KK, but if it's like any of our past groin injury victims I'm sure it'll be 4-6 weeks.

Wake is tomorrow...

I think TDOG is right.  Groins are pretty essential to CB play and they're not something that position can play with when limited.  I think they can get by without him vs. WAS, BUF and SF.  But they're really going to need him back for LAR and NEP.  After that they really only have ATL and MIN to worry about.

CB Kevin King likely out this week because of the groin injury he sustained in the first half on Sunday vs. Chicago. But coach Mike McCarthy did not think it was a long-term injury. https://t.co/8WUgHDHjwv

#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers in his last three games against the Redskins (including playoffs): 347 YP/G, 118.2 passer rating, 9 TDs, 0 INTs.

Availability is an issue.

I don't know why MM wouldn't throw Jones out there more. Fresher legs. Much more of a shifty/scat type back vs Williams. 

Gruden isn't buying Aaron Jones staying on the sideline. Says he thinks his team will see plenty of Jones, along with Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery. Thinks #Packers will find a role for everybody. https://t.co/CTXJ74gwd4

The Packers aren't practicing today -- a rarity for a Wednesday following a noon game -- but coach Mike McCarthy said there will be a walk through. They played a Sunday night game in Week 1 and an overtime game in warm weather in Week 2. "We're just... https://t.co/7qwfCwtesU

More "We do what we do" stubbornness.

Yes because what he says on Wednesdays is exactly what will happen on Sunday.

Ty looked great in the first half vs. MIN.  Good burst, decisive through the hole, read blocks well, tough to bring down.  Loved the stiff arms finishing the one run.

AND Ty has improved on blitz pickup

Ty looked good as he usually has over the years, again its availability.

Still the highest scoring game in MNF history.

Great find. I was a kid and had bowling that night. Everyone kept running into the bar to check the score. Shocking how dark the stadium was!

The Packers didn't practice today, but they estimated rookie LB Oren Burks (shoulder) as a full participant. Good sign for him. Davon House (biceps) and Josh Jones (ankle) were limited. DNP: Aaron Rodgers (knee), Kevin King (groin).

Appears Burks is good to go.

Activated Jones / cut CB Burton 

Get Jones in there instead of Haha.

The MNF game was a ratings disaster.

The flags issue, the disrespect to the American flag, plus the yellow flag. The new protect the QB rules are an obvious attempt at more offense.

If you see the political affiliations the bulk if the NFL HQ has you know why they cannot right the ship. Sorry to be factual, but it is fact.

Huh?

Not exactly sure this is an improvement.  Jones hasn't shown squat.

What flag issue?  That's so 2017 (for now)

I agree, I don't think he has much of a role right now, especially if Burks is available.   Burks should fill the role that Whitehead is currently playing IMO.   The LB / S hybrid in the box.     

I guess it could depend on the matchup, I just don't have a lot of love for Jones at the moment. 

I’m not necessarily in a group that thinks this game is going to be as easy as others have alluded. Need to see a much bigger body of work on defense and also hope Rodgers injury isn’t too much of a limit. Last week I think was a focused **** you payback effort. Let’s see how they perform as a favorite in a game they should win. Effort needs to persist. We’ve seen it before. Prove us wrong.

Well for starters, I'm betting Clay Matthews gets his one tackle early this week so as not to affect the outcome of the game by drawing a PF flag.

Got three healthy horses at RB. One has fresh legs. Good idea to lean on them like mad with a hobbled QB. Backs should get 35-40 touches total between runs and receptions.

They'll get about 15-20....all 3 of them combined.

Meanwhile Rodgers will be winging it around the yard.

Me?  I'll be working on the Chrome Delete of my car.

The NFL can go **** themselves. 

Hell hath no fury.

How does one Chrome Delete a car?  Sounds scifi.

I don't think any game this year is going to be easy.  The Packers are patching holes and the young guys brought in are still rookies.  I think the Morrison signing was pretty respectable to help the inside run game but there simply won't be any pass rush from the outside this year.
