Important Match-up against the Lions

Skins - 38

Lions - 3


Brunnell throws for over 300 yards.....Portis rushes for 150

Redskins 21
Lions 10

Skins D scores twice, Lions get touchdown off Brunell fumble.

Seeing that the Lions D isn't that good, I see this as the break-out game from the Skins offense where they not only break 20 points, but break 30. TD's scored by Coles (finally!), Cooley, Portis, and an INT return by Smoot or Taylor. Another 150+ yard performance from Portis, and our QB throws for over 250 yards.
The D will hold Detroit to 3 FG's and one late TD.

Skins 34
Lions 16

One more thing: I think I speak for many of us when I say I could care less who our QB is, as long as he is well-protected and plays well.

If we can stop Roy Williams, we can stop their offense. I think Springs gets 2 INTs and Portis gets about 150 and 2 TDs.

28-17 Skins.

Also I think we get the win and Brunell still looks horrid, but because Portis looks great he overshadows it and Brunell starts against the Bungals next week.

If we loose this game and next week agaist the Bungels look for Ramsey to start the rest of the season.

Redskins 28 - Lions 9

BRUNELL has the best game of his career and throws for 400+ yards! ....well....anyone goign to argue with me that the guy is due?!?! Even the worst QBs have flashes or stardom, and Brunell was supposed to be good. Lets see him light it up for a change.

Lions DT, Shaun Rogers, has had a really good year to date getting several sacks from the DT position and getting a LOT on inside pressure on QBs. If he does that this week and flushes Brunell from the pocket with any degree of regularity, that is going to limit the Skins' pass offense more than just a little bit.

The center and the two guards MUST limit Rogers penetration and cannot allow him to bullrush them into Brunell's lap. Keep an eye on that aspect of the game on passing downs.

I hope Shaun Rogers isn't lined up against Ray Brown. I still haven't gotten over how Alex Brown was getting in Brunell's face in the Chicago game. Let's face it , Jon Jansen is sorely missed. Randy Thomas has been quite this year, and Dockery needs to stay penalty free for us to win this game. We had 10 penalties for 82 yards last week. Pathetic.

I wonder if our rookie olinemen will get a shot if brown cant get it done.
