Matthews, Michael could help Packers on Sunday night

The Packers (4-5) return to the scene of their NFC wild-card win Sunday night hoping that facing the Redskins (5-3-1) can turn their fortunes around after a three-game skid.

There were some hints given during last summer’s season of “The Bachelor”, of all places, that the relationship between Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers and his immediate family is less than idyllic.

There was also one other thing Cousins remembered about Rodgers. Pierre Garçon racked up team-highs with 6 receptions for 81 yards while Vernon Davis hauled in 3 passes for 66 yards and a touchdown.

Rodgers, who is playing in his 12 NFL season, now holds a passer rating of 103.3 – the best in league history.

PACKERS Rodgers was 21-36-210-2 TDs-0 INTs in playoff win over Washington last season.

However, 2015 was a disappointment by Rodgers’s standards.

Washington is listed as the three-point favorite against visiting Green Bay with a 50.5 total. Green Bay is in a rare spot, with a losing record through nine games for the first time since 2008.

Quarterback Lynn Dickey, wearing #12, led the 1983 Packers. “Especially when you want to have a hand in whatever’s going on out there”, said Matthews, who has missed four games this season and has only three sacks.

The 1983 National Football League season was one of promise for the Washington Redskins, who were attempting to defend their Super Bowl XVII title that came against the Miami Dolphins at the conclusion of the 1982 season. “He’ll come here, we have a way we do things, and he’ll be given an opportunity to do it”.

RB James Starks. The return of the seventh-year pro to game action last Sunday after a four-game absence had mixed results.

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy wanted the Packers to be more aggressive on the offense.

The Packers haven’t released their full injury report for Sunday night, but they have ruled out a couple of starters who were injured in last weekend’s game against the Titans.

“I love his running style”. “Coach McCarthy will have a plan for him and we’ll get him up to speed”.

The outcome of the 1983 classic was a 48-47 Green Bay victory. They are 4th in rushing yards allowed per game (85.3), and they are in the middle of the pack (16th) in passing yards allowed per game (253.8). For the season, Rodgers is third in the National Football League with 22 touchdown passes. Luckily, Green Bay’s defense is banged up and struggling. Washington knows ending up in a shootout Sunday night could be playing with fire.

I don’t know what I can say about the Packers that hasn’t already been said, speculated about or analyzed. “Keep on trying to get wins for the team and trying to do my best to create big plays”. “He sent us home in the first round”. Rodgers has Davante Adams and Jordy Nelson as targets, and Norman is eager for the challenge. “Never will be. There’s so much more to our football team than just our star players”, McCarthy said earlier this week.

A lot of the attributes that stood out then are still evident when he watches the 26-year-old running back’s film today. This clearly isn’t the same team Washington saw last January.

Is Aaron Rodgers struggling because he’s shut his family out of his life?

“He’s a future Hall of Famer and he’s not playing bad, maybe situationally things just haven’t worked out for him”, Compton said.

Ladarius Gunter has proven to be a very good prospect and a keeper, but he has been forced into a “lead” role and that’s a lot to ask of a former college free agent in their second year. “I just have to regroup and start back over from scratch here with the Packers, and just build good days and learn from everything I went through in the past and try to help become a better person, a better teammate and a better player”.
