Rodgers confident Packers can start winning vs. Eagles

Instead, Monday night’s game at Lincoln Financial Field could serve as an elimination game. Running back James Starks has been back for two games and Green Bay still can’t run the football.

The Green Bay Packers are in need of a win as they have lost their last four games after winning four of their first six. I think we’re learning that. “Keeping it simple, but definitely trying to get my feet wet out there”.

Going into Philadelphia, who are 4-0 at home this season, the Packers know it won’t be easy.

Rodgers has thrown 25 touchdown passes and seven interceptions.

The Packers fell another game below.500 after losing 42-24 to Washington on Sunday night, and presently sit two games back of NFC North rivals Detroit and Minnesota and seven spots behind the final conference wild-card spot. Top corner Sam Shields hasn’t appeared in a game since the season opener and starter Damarious Randall has missed the last five games with a groin injury. Still, he’s been disruptive and makes plays not registered on the stat sheet. That doesn’t mean they didn’t often beat their blocks when they were pass rushing.

A little balance could help, too.

The unit took another blow in Washington when rookie Blake Martinez exited with a knee problem. Though there were other factors – Matthews was also inactive – that likely led to the Packers coughing up 47 points at the Titans, Ryan sprained his ankle covering a punt before the Packers’ first defensive snap.

“Obviously, they’re banged up at the running back position but they’re still finding ways to put up points and get yards and make plays”.

“I love it. It’s an expression of confidence”, the coach said of his QB’s run-the-table mentality. We’ve really been clicking, at times, in the last few games.

Michael played for the Seattle Seahawks when the season began and he was the team’s leading rusher, recording 469 yards and six touchdowns.

That is why Michael has been spending most of his time catching up on the playbook.

These are not your father’s Green Bay Packers and certainly not your grandfather’s from the Lombardi days. It would be nice to have him part of our rotation come Monday night.

“I think the way you have to approach it is to see the light at the end of the tunnel and understand that it’s there”, said Hicks.

To add to what everyone else has said, and avoid repeating, I am thankful for the Packers offensive line. He later joined the team outside on Clarke Hinkle Field and went through individual drills.

“Everything looks good for Jake so far”, coach Mike McCarthy said before practice. Two struggling teams are set to meet one another. T.J. Lang pushes around 300 lb. people for a living.

“Christine Michael is doing a really good job”, said McCarthy.

The pressure will be on Wentz to move the ball through the air because the Packers have defended well against the run.

It’s been a rough year for the Packers, who have lost four straight games, allowing 30 or more points in each one.

EAGLES WR Nelson Agholor had a bad day at office in Week 11 loss, getting flagged for illegal formation that negated an Ertz TD and dropping a critical pass. We talked about the specifics of how we look at them on offense, defense and special teams, the environment we’re going to play in.
