Chicago v. Washington Predictions

I think the skins are done as well...I don't think they will be able to ride their emotions to a win...they will be emotionally spent and physically tired. It will be good to see Randy Thomas back (if he plays) but I'm not sure i see a win...

We'll win, ARZ loses this weekend just to give us yet ANOTHER week of hope only to be crushed next weekend by the Giants.

I'm tired of trying to make 'smart' homer predictions, which all fall short lately. So I'm going to do it George Costanza style - the opposite of my instincts:

Bears 24
Skins 13

We play a typical tough first half, but can't stop Grossman in the 2nd. What's left of our secondary is banged up & based on what we saw sunday, the d-line can't get any consistent pressure. This team really is going to have to dig deep & they have enough problems under normal circumstances pulling games out.

I'll also second Sheriff's prediction about Gibbs; this could be the beginning of the end.

Once again, I think Rex will stop himself. Our secondary is still pretty solid, and we really didn't allow too many deep passes in the pass couple of weeks. The key to this game is stopping BB and thier running game. I don't see them beating us if they try to air it out all day.

I really think we can win this one. For one, I don't see the Bears blowing us out. So I think we finally close the deal on a tight game.

Campbell will show up and so will the defense. I think the defense plays lights out this week.

I really don't even care at this point. No prediction from me. I wish we could just fast forward through the rest of the season.

2 years ago, the bears couldnt beat us when their defense was top notch.
skins 16
bears 7

This team is running on fumes emotionally speaking, has had just 1 day of practice to prepare for Chicago, and our offensive line should be on the back of a milk carton. Chicago's defense isn't the same defense we saw last year and their offense is inconsistent, but given the overall state of our team I cannot see us winning this one. Redskins fall to the Bears 24-17 and drop to 5-8.

I also predict that at least several people will implicitly blow off the loss of Sean Taylor, the one day of practice, etc. and use the loss as ammo to use against Gibbs.

Agreed 100%. Our minds won't be where the game is after seeing Sean Taylor's body in a casket just 3 days before and knowing he'll never be back with the team.

I say 29 to 23 in overtime Redskins win. Portis busts a 65 yarder down the sideline on the first play in OT. Then gets carried off the field

I am going to the game and need to see them win once at home while I am there...... Skins win 27-17... and I get to sing Hail to the Redskins over and over.
