Can the redskins beat the lions without portis and moss

Right, that was his point
I missed the part we did as we did win.

Or it could be like the Lions, 49ers, Vikings games of 2004; the 49ers, Rams, and Cardinals games of 2005; the Texans game of 2006, the Dolphins game of 2007 (as some examples).

Games we should have won...and did

So Gibbs has an 8-8 record against weak teams...not a very strong case for this weekend's game.

Why so? You think the Lions are a weak team? If so you have no case. Remember they are 3-1.

We will defeat the lions at home.

Took the liberty to get on a Lions forum to see what they are saying about the game. The biggest thing they are talking about is how the Skins have owned the Lions for years, and breaking the losing streak. The things they seem the most concerned about is our defense, Clinton Portis, and JC's poise in the pocket.

Yep, allegedly we have beaten them at home 21 times out of 21 meetings. Those kind of streaks scare ME! Streaks are like records, they will be broken. But, lets hope it just becomes "22" after this coming Sunday.

If you are going to make up numbers to try to prove a point, it's probably better to reconsider making it in the first place.

The Lions offense is their strength, so if we can run the ball well and sustain drives, GET TD's, and keep their offense on the sidelines...that's our best chance of winning and I'm sure that's what Gibbs is planning on doing. Lions rank 17th in the NFL against the run and 30th against the pass....they should be able to sustain drives!!!

The redskins will beat the lions. The key to this game is how successful the redskins running game will be on offense. On defense, the key will be taking away big passing plays and stopping the run.

Sounds like redskins football.

No.

They've also beaten, among other, the Jaguars, Saints, Seahawks, and Eagles when not thought possible.
