Packers/Redskins game notes,and the Packers win,if...

i am mystified by the Packers this season... the team defense has been very good most of the year... in fact,the last time the Packers had a better team defense than a team offense,numbers-wise,was 2010(remember what happened then:the Packers became the only team in NFL history to return a interception for a touchdown in every playoff game that they played;all four games,and won Super Bowl XLV)... the Washington Redskins have won their last four games,and have had the lead in the last three games,going into the fourth quarter each time... if the Packers do not score early,hold the lead going into the fourth quarter,they are in deep trouble... the Packers have lost four games in the last minute,this season,but honestly had a legitimate chance to win two of those games,even though sending games into overtime,against Carolina,and Minnesota,last week,would have been a toss up,in overtime,but,alas,that did not happen... (in that game,against the Carolina Panthers,even though Carolina won the game,i honestly noticed a real chink in the Panthers' armor,also against the New York Giants,they gave up a big lead(23 points,against the Packers,in the fourth quarter,and 28 points against the Giants;they won by eight points(37-29),against the Packers(a lame duck interception by Rodgers ended the game on 4th and goal),and 38-35,against the Giants,after being up by 28 with 3:30 left in third period,with a last second field goal,more on that,perhaps)... the Redskins have a very good defensive line,and with the Packers given up fourteen sacks in last two games,it could be ugly for Aaron Rodgers and company,Sunday,but again,the Packers had two starters out for the last two games,and with backups in,that is what you get,most of the time... both starters should play... the only mystery to me is,unlike 2010,what Packers' team offense is going to show up??? the one that won six games in a row to start the season,or the one that has had trouble scoring points in first three quarters of a game,and have only won four of the last ten games,while the Packers' team defense has carried the team into the playoffs... question: is the Packers' team offense ever to wake up,and play Packers' football??? i have hope,but again,what has happened to the Packers,this season??? note:i combined both blogposts this week,because  "the Packers win,if..." has been the same formula for weeks,and nothing has worked... so i am crossing my fingers,tomorrow...
