•Some interesting facts, Was has scored 0 TD in 2 weeks, NYG is 0-6 in TD’s in the redzone and Dallas has 0 sacks and 0 turnovers.
On to the games

considering that the week one score was 23-17 and the skins had 1 fg. that tells me two tds were scored in week 1.....

NYG is 0-6 in TD’s in the redzone- You [B]are[B]a bone head.

seriously don canabis.....put the bong down and take your weak stuff somewhere else

im starting to wonder about you. every week you pick the cowboys. and every week you pick the skins to lose...


Dmek check my past columns before you post. Week 1 I said you would lose to the Giants and you did... Week 2 I said you would beat Stl but not cover the line and you did.

Right now Week one I've said you've lose week 2 i said you would win

I'll say the skins score more TDs than the cowgirls get sacks.

and you are wrong, skins did score TDs.

Its just his opinion and opinions are like assholes everyone has one and they all stink. That being said the skins are favored by 6.5 and the cowboys are favored by 8.5. I definitely agree that IF both upsets happen the 'boys losing would be the bigger upset.
Statistically wise Romo usually rebounds from a crappy game the next week as well as JCampbells stats against the Lions the past 2 years:
Jason Campbell vs. Lions Secondary
Something about the Detroit Lions seems to bring out the best in Campbell.
In a 2007 game, Campbell completed 23-of-29 passes for 248 yards, two touchdowns and a 125.3 QB rating. Last year, he completed 23-of-28 passes for 328 yards, one touchdown and a career-high 127.4 QB rating.
Statistically, Campbell has gotten off to solid start this season, completing 68.9 percent of his passes for 453 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The offense is ranked 18th in the league in passing yards.
In the red zone, a problem area for the offense so far this season, Campbell has completed 4-of-8 passes for 29 yards, with one touchdown and one sack.
Detroit’s secondary, led by veteran cornerbacks Phillip Buchanan and Anthony Henry, is ranked 25th in the league in passing defense. They are both in their first seasons with the Lions. (http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/Redskins_Lions__4_Keys_To_the_Game_Presented_by_Pa pa_John_s_59650.jsp)

Enough is enough. The Rams are a professional football team and they played well. The Giants are one of the best teams in the league and we played them well. The Lions are also in the league and despite having a 19 game losing streak WILL NOT find a way to beat the skins this weekend. Im tired of hearing about how the Lions will win on sportstalk radio and the other random media that I listen to. The better team wins the majority of the time. I just dont see how the Lions can match up man for man against the Skins and win.
Total Offense YPG:
Skins: 19th
Lions: 30th
Total Defense YPG:
Skins: 10th
Lions: 27th
Further the Skins offense is (passing ypg):
18th
and the Lions passing defense is:
24th
Skins passing defense is ranked:
10th
Lions passing offense:
26th
I wont bore you with more stats (http://www.nfl.com/stats/team) but they all show that the Skins SHOULD (and will) win on Sunday.
I think that the Skins are very hungry to quiet the booing fans and the media. I truely do not see the Lions including a rookie qb in Stafford punishing the Skins. I feel that JCs experience and the handful of weapons more than the Lions have will dictate a W for DC. Stop bitching everyone, we were supposed to beat the Rams and lose the the Giants. Skins are 1-1. With a win they are still right in the thick of the east. Again this is my opinion but I just don't see how the Lions will beat the SKins.

Ditto.

I'm tired of all this negativity. I'll bet 99% of all you haters predicted the Skins to beat the rams and lose one to the Giants. Guess what...that's what happened. Let's stop all the overreacting, if it weren't for a few missed opportunities with turnovers and dropped TD passes, they would have put 20+ points on the board, and everyone on here would be saying..."wow, here comes the offense, did you see how they moved the ball...Geez Zorn's offensive scheme really does work!"

OK, so you haven't picked us to lose every week. but you have picked Dallas each week, no? and nice post warpath. but why skew opinions with logic?

Well, gee -- if only I were 5 inches taller, I'd be 6'8".

Turnovers, missed opportunities and dropped TD passes are all things that make for a bad offense. Like it or not, that's exactly what we have right now. Catch those TDs, take advantage of the opportunities, and stop turning the ball over and we'll have a good offense.

I agree. In fact I think we'd have a very good offense.

I just meant to back up my opinions with facts.
