Redskins vs. Lions predictions

Oh yes, my final prediction:

pain.

I'm honestly more worried about this game than I was about the Giants game. Right now, the Lions look like a better team than New York, and I don't care that we should've won that game. They blew it in the second half, and I'm going to continue to question their ability to play with a lead until they can actually get up by 2 TD's and not sandbag it for the next 20 minutes!


What I'd love to see this week is for the skins to get out to an early lead and not just maintain it, but put the game out of reach, and do it early

Lions 27
Skins 28

(Cooley comes up big with a game winning TD ~~ SKINS WIN)




I just can't see us holding them to less than 3 TD's, and with the possibility of Moss and/or Portis out this week, the skins are going to have trouble, because Detriot will key on ARE all day. As far as the Portis injury goes, I'm not as worried about it as I am about Moss, because I'm confident that Betts can get the job done.

Our defense has gotten better, but I don't trust our secondary as much as I'd like to. Sure, Landry and Taylor are studs, but Carlos Rogers hasn't had a good game yet this year. We just seem to be giving up a lot of big plays in the passing game this year, and I hope Williams gave them all a lecture on tackling... that 2nd half was pathetic...


Well I'll be at the game yellin my head off this weekend too, as are a lot of you guys I'm sure.

hope we get back on track this week. 3-1, staying in 2nd place would be nice.

Detroit 51

Skins blow halftime lead when gibbs rushes 25 straight times in 2nd half with betts and cartwright,portis is out.Betts and cartright each fumble once,Detroit erupts for 34 4th qtr points

I really hope this won't happen but I have to admit that this could be possible! a déja vue all over again. I' m quite upset about this "gibbs" conservative football when we're leading. Just hope we'll win anyway.

The Redskins have won 20 straight games against the Lions, so history will repeat itself.

we lost to them in the 1999 regular season didnt we

The Redskins have won 20 straight games against the Lions, so history will repeat itself.
Actually the Lions have won 2 out of the last 3.

Oh yes, my final prediction:

pain.

LOL! Ok Clubber Lang! ;-)

35-21 skins

We have had two weeks to prepare a defensive strategy for the Lions at home. I'm very confident that G.Williams put together something tastey for Kitna and company. Our defense will dominate the line of scrimage and make sacks and picks.

Due to our lack our offensive fire power we will not be able to pull away and this game comes down to the 4th Q (like always). Running attack comes back this week and Campbell does just enough......I'm even looking ahead next week in Green Bay where we pick up another W to go 4-1.

SKINS 24
LIONS 21

Hard to get sacks when Kitna is making a lot of 3 step drops and letting his receivers run in space. Our only chance is if we can lock down receivers 1v1. If we try to win with a zone they'll eat it up.
