Rodgers, Packers Hope to Boost Playoff Chances Against Washington on SNF

Green Bay’s last game on Sunday Night didn’t end well for them, losing 14-17 against the Vikings in the new stadium that the commentary team spent a good 30% of their time admiring.

The Seahawks lost running back Thomas Rawls to a leg injury and tried to complement Michael with a series of other backs, including C.J. Spiller.

The Packers traded a conditional 2018 seventh-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for former Arkansas running back Knile Davis on October 18 following Lacy and Starks’ injuries but was waived two weeks later.

To make room on the roster, Green Bay has placed backup running back Don Jackson on injured reserve, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

According to National Football League, the reason for cutting Christine Michael out from the Seahawks was because he had an issue with a few members of the staff, that they couldn’t trust Michael to make the proper run reads. Green Bay is seeking its eighth straight postseason berth, but already has as many losses as it had in four of the seasons in the streak. He really does want to run the football.

The Seahawks cut him despite the fact he had started seven games and was their leading rusher.

“When you don’t have a running back, it’s hard to do those things”. It allowed us to get into the play-action.

Michael returned to the Seahawks in December, rushing for 192 yards in three games. So while I do not love the Redskins as a whole, I do believe in Kelley. Football teams lose games for hundreds of reasons every week and sometimes, in the middle of a dominant stretch of football, a good team just doesn’t play up to their standards.

The Redskins have studied film of that playoff loss and analyzed the Packers’ games this season as well. In his last four games, he has thrown for two or more touchdowns a game, while averaging 310 passing yards per game and completing 66% of his passes.

As for Michael, the odds of the fourth-year back being able to contribute in a meaningful way right away seem low. They traded for Knile Davis last month but cut him after two weeks, which meant they did not have to give the Kansas City Chiefs any compensation in return. “There’s nothing like live action. I think we’ve done a decent job with the circumstances but, hopefully, we can get some guys healthy and get back to a normal offence”.

Earlier on Wednesday, Hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian said on SportsCenter that McCarthy was doing “the best he can with a very, very short deck” in terms of players.
