We Still Play This Sunday Against the Bengals

We will win. I have no clue of the score though, I have been overly optimistic about the offense for this whole season, and I finally have to say 10-9 Redskins. It's been a rough week for us Skins fans. :(

It amazes me how anyone can think we're going to beat Philly and SF. Both are playing better than we are. Philly just beat NY at NY. This week is going to be a total struggle against Cinn and I would not be shocked if we lose.

Skins 16
Cinn 13

We were playing a lot better than the Rams when we lost to them...that's why they play the game

Fair enough, but by the same logic, we would have a decent chance of beating Philadelphia because the score will be low and close, and we did put up 20+ on them last time.

Also, this game is going to be the 5th game this year we will play against a solidly inferior team, and you have to think at some point, we're going to run into a poor effort from their defenses. I mean, you look at the Rams, Browns, Lions, and Seahawks, and every one of those defenses (especially the first two) played our offense harder and more aggressively than they've played most of the year. Is it safe to assume that the Bengals will do the same? Or do you think that there's a chance that their pass rush just totally mails it in and Campbell picks them to shreds?

I think our offensive numbers would look a lot better this year if we didn't get such a great last-ditch season-saving defensive effort from the bad defenses we have played. I'm not saying we won't see more of the same from the Bengals, but I'm open to the possibility.

I expect Cinn to play very hard. They took NY to overtime, they tied Philly and very well could've beaten Dallas. We just lost Samuels and our line can't pass block. Their defense has to be licking their chops. This is not going to be a walk in the park. None of our games are.

We will win. I have no clue of the score though, I have been overly optimistic about the offense for this whole season, and I finally have to say 10-9 Redskins. It's been a rough week for us Skins fans. :(

I feel ya CRR but I don't think you're being OVERLY optimistic. I think, just like me, you see the potential of this offense. It's just a matter of getting the system down, and getting our rookies up to speed. It's just not going to happen in the first year. Of course what I did'nt expect was such poor line play. I actually thought our line would be better this year with Jansen and Thomas back. Once the line problems are resolved and we have a little more time in Zorn's system, I expect a potent offense. Better than we've had in years.

Redskins win by 2 TDs.

Defense absolutely throttles the Bengals' offense.

Skins' fans over-react and start talking Super Bowl in Feb 09 and Pro Bowl status of about 19 guys on the roster.
All three predicitions are correct...LOL.

Redskins win 17-13. Portis goes over the century mark, but the Bengals have a field day with Heyer and Fabini in pass protection.

Skins win, everyone is all about the playoffs again, we get smashed by Philly next week, have a tough game with SF to close out the season, we all go on happily ever after:) .

Skins 24-13 Bengals

13-10 bengals. too much distractions this week for the skins, plus our OL is hurting!!!!!!!!!

skins should win, we are the better team- yet I'm incredibly bearish the season outlook.
Bengals 17
Redskins 10
