Packers claim running back Michael off waivers

Just when everything seemed to be coming together in Green Bay, the opposite has happened.

Washington is hot again. The Green Bay Packers are going to fall to 4-6 on the season with a loss in this one.

The Packers have a respectable 22 sacks on the season, though 14 came in the first four games.

With that said, this is going to be an exciting battle.

Not that Rodgers cares at this point, but the whole you’re not here/you don’t play so you don’t know defense is wearing pretty thin. We didn’t point any fingers. It’s really about language and understanding what we’re doing.

But the Packers’ head coach is eager to get to know him, particularly on the field. The Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions are tied for the division lead with 5-4 records – one game better than Green Bay. They’ve been absolutely awful the past month and were simply dominated by the Titans last week.

STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES – Packers have won six of past seven meetings, counting playoffs. Coach Mike McCarthy, however, wants to build a more balanced attack after Aaron Rodgers dropped back 59 times and handed off only 10 times in last week’s blowout loss at Tennessee.

“Obviously, our attempts are way up”, McCarthy said. No one walks through the National Football League unscathed. “And it makes you focus on what’s even more important, and that’s beating the Redskins”. He has thrown for 2,716 yards and completed 66.9 percent of his passes.

The group is a mixture of speed (with receivers Jamison Crowder and DeSean Jackson), experience (Pierre Garcon), tough tight end matchups (Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis) and a multi-threat running back (Chris Thompson). No, he never wants to sit out, but watching what has become of the Packers’ defense recently was especially hard. We’ll get some answers Sunday night. “He’s running it. There’s no ifs and buts”.

“He’s played a lot of football. I think he’s playing extremely well”. The Packers also can’t run the ball offensively, which puts more onus on Aaron Rodgers and the passing game to pick up yards both downfield and in the short game to move the chains.

“Let’s not get things mistaken over there. That’s No. 12”, Norman said. You can watch a live game stream here. I do buy the Cowboys as the real deal, but this is not their ideal matchup. “I think that’s what we were able to do early in the year, just stay balanced”.

“What I’m concerned about is facing a cerebral quarterback that can light you up at any time”, he said.

Rawls began the regular season as Seattle’s starting running back but has been sidelined with a fibula injury for the last seven games. They’re averaging 19.2 points allowed in five games with Matthews.
