Redskins vs. Bills predictions

I think we play a really great emotional game in memory of ST and his family this week.

NO TEAM IN THIS LEAGUE would beat us this week IMO.

SKINS=31
bills= 10

Redskins 38
Bills 0

This one is for Sean

I just have no idea about this game. I think we can win 1. Because of the emotion and 2. Because the Bills are down to their 3rd string RB. But that emotion could prove to be too much.

Gmanc and I were talking about this yesterday and we were wondering how the game thread is going to play out. We're so sensitive right now, especially to the state of the players and coaches. We wonder at what point will someone decide it's ok to critique a player or coach. I think in some small way I'm hoping it's sooner than later. In a way, it'll feel like we're getting back to normal.

Yea, the Skins are going to be real fired up. Buffalo will have an extremely hard time on offense, FedExField is going to be rocking so loud it will be reminiscent of the glory days at RFK.

Bottom Line, Skins win big.

42-3

Now after this game, they will either ride the emotion right into the playoffs at 10-6 or burn out and go 7-9. No matter which, skins win are "taking the Bills to the woodshed." (Thanks Gmanc711 (http://www.redskinswarpath.com/member.php?u=14) - haven't heard that in a long time.)

I did dream the other night that Reed Doughty made some huge play and then just pointed to the sky. I've always rooted for him, and now I am more than ever.

No way the Skins are going to lose this game, especially playing at home. With emotion, fans backing the Skins, and big ST smiling down on us, we win big.

Skins - 28
Bills - 10

This will obviously be an emotionally charged game.

As far as X's and O's go... you can't throw them out the window. Redskins offense is beginning to take shape, and I'm anticipating scoring on our opening offensive drive.

Skins 27
Bills 17

Hail!

One mans' loss is another's oppertunity.

We will never replace 21 out there. But we will be starting a new FS, and it gives Doughty or someone the chance to step up and establish themselves here as a defensive force. He would have never gotten that chance with ST back there.

That's the silver lining here, hollow as it may be.

Redskins 41
Bills 9

I think the Skins are going to win out and here's why. The media market and the ravenous fans in DC put an unfair amount of pressure on them every year. While teams like the Colts and Pats can deal with a similar amount of pressure, they are truly superior teams (and to be fair, the Colts had to enter the playoffs as underdogs with a historically awful defense before they got over the hump). The Skins are an above average team that enters every season with championship expectations, and often underachieves resultantly.

Well that's gone now. No one is expecting anything from them. They are going to finally be able to relax and just focus on honoring their teammate the best way they can. Over the rest of the season, when people talk about the Skins talent they aren't going to be adding the obligatory "on paper."

I think some teams are really going to get blown out in the near future, and I hope Sean will be smiling about that somewhere.
