Mike McCarthy says Packers have their “ass against the wall”

The passionate, Vine-friendly Redskins quarterback was caught on camera shouting “How you like me now?!” at general manager Scot McCloughan following Sunday night’s win over the Packers.

The Packers were plagued by issues with execution on their first three offensive series, but established a rhythm at the end of the first quarter that carried throughout the rest of the game.

Cousins, of course, is playing under the franchise tag, and his contract situation has been well-documented.

With Washington in the mix for a playoff spot in the NFC, Cousins has an opportunity to earn himself some more money and further endear himself to Redskins faithful in the coming weeks.

“A quick-turnaround week”, wide receiver DeSean Jackson said. They will also have to deal with more injuries in the process.

With Cousins carving up Green Bay’s porous pass defense and Robert Kelley running for 137 yards and three touchdowns, Washington put up 517 yards didn’t wilt like it did in a playoff loss to the Packers. The crowd here chanted repeatedly late in the game: “We want Dallas!”.

It’s the players who strap on their helmet and pads this Thursday who have the opportunity to get the job done.

This is the first time since 1953 the Packers have allowed 30-plus to be scored on them in four straight games.

“We felt like we needed to put it together, and it was good to see him do that”, Gruden said. Even if you don’t like one of these two teams, this is going to be a must-watch game. That is all we got right now. “Now we’re looking forward to Dallas”. Cousins has 17 touchdown passes to just seven interceptions and now ranks sixth in the National Football League with a total QBR of 71.0.

Fat Rob ate up Green Bay in the second half including a 66-yard run after a Green Bay turnover.

“We clearly understand the urgency that’s in front of us”, coach Mike McCarthy said.

The Packers had the Redskins stopped, forcing what seemed would be a punt on fourth and short, but Redskins coach Jay Gruden made a decision to go for it to keep possession of the ball midway through the fourth quarter.

-The Redskins’ 515 yards of offense were the most they have had in a 60-minute (non-overtime) game since they had 559 against the Falcons in Week 11 in 1991. Joe Barry’s unit has surrendered 26 offensive touchdowns – equally divided between the run (13) and pass (13).

The former Michigan State quarterback turned in a sparkling performance.

Josh Norman stripped Packers tight end Jared Cook in the fourth quarter, leading to Kelley’s third score.

What Cousins accomplished – 375 yards passing with three touchdowns and no interceptions – in 30 miles per hour wind was real and should be celebrated.

He was asking for too much money. “And yet, week in week out, we’re doing it”.
