Gameplan/Predictions: Bears v Skins

Norv Turner...I think

So when Norv is fired by Al Davis...Gibbs oughta hire him to replace Don Breaux...lol

Redskins win a low scoring game. Defense does a lot of different things to shock and amaze Jonathon Quinn at QB. Offense keeps it simple and plays field position football.

Danger signal will be if the Bears' special teams start breaking off returns of punts. That is the single best way to lose a field position game.

Key item will be to keep penalties under control. If the Bears have to execute a lot of 2nd and 8 and/or 3rd and 8 situations, the Skins should be just fine. If we give them first downs, they can make one or two plays and win the game.

Bears' secondary is injured but the guys out there play hard on every play. Watched the Eagles beat the Bears and those guys never quit even though the Eagles marched up and down the field on them. I believe the Eagles had 450 yards of offense on the Bears and they probably only threw deep about twice because the Bears played Cover-2 on everything other than 3rd and inches. So this is a game for Gardner to be the posession receiver and hold onto about 6 or 7 passes for at least 5 first downs.

Prediction: Washington 20 Chicago 13

I see us win in a landslide, but I also see the NHL getting their collective shit together before much longer. That's why I'm glad we have you here, Sports, you bring rational to the irrational.

Well I just simulated the game on 2K5 and the Redskins won an ugly, ugly game. In the pouring rain they pulled it out 10-7. Brunell went 6-9 for 75 yards (can't get more real than that!) and Portis had 14 carries for 112 yards and 1 TD.

I don't think it will be that ugly. For one thing I'm not expecting a monsoon in Chicago on Sunday. I think the key is to make Quinn beat us and that means taking an early lead so they have to play catch up. It's time to open up that offensive and be more aggresive. Start the game with something like a reverse to Gardner, something like that

OFFENSE

I think Gibbs comes out throwing first and running second in order to keep their D honest. So I expect to see a lot of short & mid-range routes from our backs and recievers in order to get Brunell in a rythm early in the game. I think once we have some continuity, the holes start opening up for Portis and he goes for 100 yds. Also, Jacobs gets more balls thrown his way when he's in.

DEFENSE

I think we see more of the same. We make them beat us through the air, which I doubt they'll do. 4 sacks 2 int's and we keep Jones to under 80 yds.

Bottom line is I think Gibbs knows the importance of this game, going into the bye & coming off of 4 losses in a row he'll have them ready.

Portis scores, Cooley scores, and our D holds them to field goals.

REDSKINS 20

BEARS 9

I predict we win. We gameplan to win!

We really .... REALLY need this game. If our offense has any pride whatsoever, they will come out freaking on fire Sunday. If they crash and burn again, we really have to look at the direction, on that side of the ball. The Bears offense sucks, so I think our Defense will keep them in check for the most part, with them getting a couple drive's I would assume. Their defense can create turnovers too, so our offense has to step it up. If we can score 17 points, I'm pretty sure we'll win.

It's around this time of the week when I get tired of talking about all the negatives. We really need a win so we can at least start discussing some different topics around here. Let's hope the Skins start to answer some questions this week instead of creating new ones.

Skins win ugly, offense rips it up for 2 TD's!

20-10 final

i simmed on madden 2k5, we lost, but grossman hit booker for 3 TDs in the 4th quarter, so... (brunell had 107 yards lol)... going to sub out some players and try a more appropriate setup...

Brunell 107 yds? That doesn't surprise me. That guy, try to simulate it with Ramsey and see what happens.
