Redskins v Patriots predictions

Hello Everyone,

I know it's been awhile, but life does get busy.

I wanted to share my prediction regarding the Patriots/ Skins matchup.

Washington 29 Patriots 20.

Here's why.

- When Dallas was behind 14-0 in the first quarter vs the Pats, I thought "I wish we had better safetys".
You guys have better safetys.

- When Dallas went ahead in the third quarter and had been knocking Brady around for 2.5 quarters forcing Brady into a three step drop, I thought "I wish we had better safetys so Welker could stop looking like the second coming of Jerry Rice and Mark Bavaro"
You guys have better safetys.

- When Marion Barber kept running over Patriots I said " I wish we had better safetys so we wouldn't be so behind that we have to pass so much".

If JC can just play within his ability and not fall for the many exotic defensive sets that Belichek will throw at him, then your tight ends and Running backs - and you have four top level players in those positions - will run all over the Patriots old Linebackers.

The Skins have the coverage ability that Dallas didn't - with one starting CB out and Roy Williams playing cover safety - so let's stop drinking the 'Best Ever' Kool-Aid. The NFC East is for real and I wouldn't be surprised if the Pats go 2-2 in our division.

I'll be watching and Rooting for the Redskins.

Wow. Brilliant post.

Bravo.

I could easily make a joke about the Cowboys, but I'm a classy Redskins fan so I'll pass.

Why what kind of joke could you make about a guy who loves Cowboys?

That's an oxymoron.

For the most part, the cowboys fans usually keep their noses clean around here, but I swear some of you guys have annoyed the hell out of me this week. Keep your snide, arrogant comments to yourself. Why don't you guys just save it for Dallas week when it really matters.

I miss the days of the pats being a terrible team in the NFL. You would see them on the schedule and say, "that is an easy game for us." Not so much anymore. Go Skins!

Anyone can beat anyone on any given sunday. Yes the Pats are good but Im not going to go and declare them the best team in history quite yet. When the season is over then you can say anything you want, but for the meantime in this league anyone can win. Noone in the media has given the Skins any chance at all and I think thats ridiculous. Only 1 team in NFL history has had a perfect season and that was the same year that the Pats had their only win versus the Skins. In todays league I don't see any team ever going 16-0 mainly because once weeks 15-17 roll around the team has their division and field advantage sewn up that they rest their starters and therefore losses usually don't matter.
The Skins definitely CAN win it just depends if they can limit turnovers and mistakes. If they don't beat themselves like they have in their 2 losses this season than they will win.
Skins 28
Pats 24
Faith.

In other news, "Hammerin'" Hank Goldberg just said the Skins will cover:

NE 29
Wash 21

My question is this: Should I even be concerned about a TV tout who hasn't seen the sunny side of .500 in about eight years?

Dude... you just brought a tear to my eye. Seriously, that is a great analysis. I have to agree, we are in a very tough division, and the Cowboys did hand the Pats their asses. It did come down to the last few minutes. That is where we could loose the game... time management. We have faltered so many times this season. Joe needs to call the right plays in the end, and not give the Pats a chance under the 2 minutes.

That said.
Redskins 16
Pats 13

I see a blocked PAT (pun intended), and Tom Brady getting taken down in the endzone today.

Skins 26
Pats 24

BELIEVE!
