To add injury to injuries, they are now going to be without Eddie Lacy and Sam Shields for the rest of the season.

“It doesn’t take rocket science to figure it out”, Jenkins said. We’ve had our chances. There’s no way the Packers receivers get enough separation and with nearly no rushing attack, it’s unlikely the Packers get into the endzone more than twice. “But in no way, shape or form should we look ahead”.
This game might not be a cake-walk for the Eagles since the Packers are desperate to keep their season alive and Rodgers can be unsafe.
Jenkins is right and wrong. “We’ve just got to go out there and win”. The Dallas Cowboys (10-1) defeated the Washington Redskins (6-4-1) and the Detroit Lions (7-4) beat the Minnesota Vikings (6-5). The Eagles face a defense that has allowed opposing passers to compile a 105.5 quarterback rating – the second worst mark in the league – and has one of the NFL’s best rushing defenses. The Packers are going to try to get Cook, who is back after suffering an ankle injury that cost him six games, isolated on post patterns. That means 4-2.
Trend: The Eagles are 5-1 SU and ATS in their last six games on a Monday. However, Wentz has fumbled a league-high-tying 10 times and has thrown two interceptions in three of the last five games.
“It’ll be nice to have him part of the rotation come Monday night”, McCarthy said Friday before the team’s afternoon practice after having the Thanksgiving holiday off Thursday.
“It’s obvious there’s an urgency”, Brent Celek said.
Ironically, the best battle on the field might be the weak spots for both teams. “We’re an attack front so if we can really get that extra step and that jump it makes a difference”. They gave up 33 points to the Falcons, 31 to the Colts, 47 to the Titans and 42 to Kirk Cousins and the Redskins last week.
Over the last four games, the Packers defense has been absolutely horrendous. He’s got very good schemes. When asked about Rodgers’ comments, he said simply: “I think everyone in here probably believes that to be honest with you”. This is one of the better football teams I’ve been on. You can’t have those little mistakes that can really cost you big in the end. “That’s what it is”.
The Eagles are tough to figure out.
“Getting me in the game plan this week, a couple runs here, play action”.
“We control our own destiny”, McKelvin said. We realize where we’re at in the season. “He’s made a lot of plays this year with his feet, including scoring touchdowns, getting first downs, also creating time to make plays down the field”.
Either way, 2016 won’t be remembered for how the Eagles finish the season.
Packers: They are in a must-win situation to have any chance at the playoffs. Packers have won three of the last four meetings.
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.
“We had a rough start to the game”, Rodgers said in his postgame news conference.
“If we handle our business, we’ll be all right. I think that really early in the season, maybe even early in preseason, I think we had sort of put that behind”. We have to win. FiveThirtyEight.com says 29 percent. Not anymore. There was a time they were considered a playoff team.
That’s been the case in nearly all the home games. Four wins could do it. The Eagles have not allowed more than 15 points at home, and have not allowed more than 29 points all season.

“Obviously, we’re not where we want to be”, Rodney McLeod said. Wentz must navigate these issues throughout Monday’s game. “We’ve just got to continue to work and plan”.
