Christine Michael lands in Green Bay, sources say

Green Bay has lost three straight games and sit at 4-5 on the season. “I think a wizard pretty much describes everything you need to know about a type of quarterback, and they are the two that fit that”.

Packers general manger Ted Thompson spoke with McCarthy on Wednesday and they talked about putting a waiver claim on Michael.

Enduring a bad six minutes like the Redskins did against the Vikings might not work so well against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (4-5) on Sunday night. You have got to play every snap.

Christine Michael, who was released by Seattle on Tuesday, was claimed by the Packers a day later. Aaron Rodgers may finally get a full complement of wide receivers. No, he never wants to sit out, but watching what has become of the Packers’ defense recently was especially hard.

Jackson suffered a hand injury in his pro debut October 20 against the Chicago Bears but played the next two games before being deactivated for the 47-25 loss at the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The previous week, the Colts ran the opening kickoff back 99 yards for a score. Davis carried five times for 5 yards in two games before he was released October 31.

Redskins cornerback Josh Norman doesn’t care what the stats say, though. But Nelson has a knack for finding space and Rodgers has a knack for finding him. Green Bay was down 35-16 at halftime, its most points allowed before intermission since 2004. Losing James Starks was a problem as well, because while he has a very limited skill set, he’s productive.

However, Green bay is 9-12 over its last 21 games, and doesn’t appear to be heading in the right direction after a 47-25 loss to Tennessee on Sunday. The Packers would go on to cut ties with him just weeks after acquiring him. Heading into the 2016 National Football League season, the Super Bowl 51 odds had the top favorites listed as the New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Packers are also 3-1-1 ATS in their last five versus the NFC, and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games. Green Bay’s pass defense ranks 29th in opponent passer rating. Teams like the Tennessee Titans and Washington Redskins are also vying for playoff berths, having exceeded expectations in 2016. In either case, only 3.5 percent of ticket buyers for the Washington game and 1.2 percent of buyers for the Philadelphia game are from Wisconsin, according to secondary market broker Vivid Seats. He believes that streak will end with Sunday’s game at Washington.

The Redskins played without two offensive starters in receiver DeSean Jackson (30 catches, 416 yards) and left tackle Trent Williams. That honor goes to Matt Stafford. Stafford led the Lions to comeback wins on several occasions already this season, including Detroit’s dramatic victory two weeks ago in Minnesota. All but one of those games has been decided by a TD or less, and this one figures to follow that trend.
