Rodgers says the Packers can run the table

The Philadelphia Eagles have a huge Monday Night Football showdown against the Green Bay Packers this week. The Packers can avoid a fifth straight loss with a road win over the Eagles on Monday night. While playing in their home stadium, Lincoln Financial Field, they looked like a Super Bowl contender, but they haven’t found their stride on the road.

You have another prime-time game as you prepare to face the Eagles on Monday night. There was also heat on coach Mike McCarthy.

“We have to improve”, Ryan said. I think that’s just how confident we are. “We have way too much talent in this locker room to be performing like that”. We get that. It’s about results. “I don’t think you push the panic button but you have to be very, very objective when you look at it and identify the mistakes”. If we sack the quarterback and he has one hand on the ball, it needs to be a sack fumble. “That’s how we started the year”. “Give them credit. A good trash-talk is tough to do”. We’ve had our chances. It’s just something that it is what it is right now. The rookie has thrown seven interceptions on the season, which ties him with five others for 14th.

If there are big advantages for the Eagles, it’s defense and venue. Eagles allowing 18.6 points per game, fourth best in league.

Protect Their House: 4-0 at home says a lot.

Green Bay’s injury-ravaged and struggling defense must find a way to keep rookie QB Carson Wentz from getting as comfortable as the likes of Atlanta’s Matt Ryan, Indianapolis’ Andrew Luck, Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota and Washington’s Kirk Cousins have been during the Packers’ four-game slide.

Ryan suffered an ankle injury early in the team’s November 13 game at Tennessee, missing almost all of that game and sitting out last week’s loss at Washington.

The 2010 Wild Card game between the two teams ended with a 21-16 Packers’ victory in Philadelphia. They both missed recent action with injuries.

Then Williams picked off a Michael Vick pass intended for Riley Cooper in the end zone on the final play of the game. He’s not as sure about Mathews and has no idea with McKelvin, who remains in the league-mandated concussion protocol.

A win against the Eagles would go a long way toward doing that, but a loss would drop the Packers three games behind the Lions. However, injuries to ILBs Blake Martinez (knee) and Jake Ryan (ankle) could also weaken the Packers’ run defense. To add injury to injuries, they are now going to be without Eddie Lacy and Sam Shields for the rest of the season.

Receiver Ty Montgomery has taken more snaps in the backfield, where he has had his moments as a runner and pass catcher.

In his last five games, Rodgers has 15 touchdowns and three interceptions, is throwing for 318 yards per game and has completed 66 percent of his passes. “We need to get it done. We’ll take the full week of preparation”.

Green Bay is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games in week 12 and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games in the month of November while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. You can’t have those little mistakes that can really cost you big in the end. “I think we’re getting close on offense to where we want to be”.
