It's F-ing Colts Week

One KEY THING I hope on Sunday that I think will help a lot is for us to win the toss and take the ball down to score first. I just don't want to play catch-up right off the bat with Manning back there.

If we can score first, I think the defense can be a little more creative rather than playing to limit Manning.

We'll eff bears too.

I'm glad that we are not required to eff ravens. That would be difficult.

If it anytime to catch the Colts to play, its now. Their defense is seriously hurting from injuries. Their WRs and RB are not at 100%. This is absolutely huge for us. I expect AH to return and play well. I think Hasslett continues to use the hybrid 3-4, and expect more pressure from him this week than the previous 2.

If there is anytime to get the rushing attack going, its this week. Ball control against the best QB of this era is crucial. I would like to see our running game open up the play action game, our opposing QB is maybe the best all time play action QB (so dont bite Landry). Just having McNabb drop back anything over 30-35+ times is not gonna consistantly win us games.

Yo Banks!!! This is your weekend, lets get your first touchdown.

Skins 26 Colts 20

The name of the game for the Colts has been low scoring battles. I think we can hold them under 20 in this game, considering they won't be able to run against our fronts. Manning is going to understand protections better than Rodgers, so I expect a lot less blitzing and trying to win by covering up an injury-riddled receiving corps. The Redskins win 19-16.

I think if we can game plan Manning into passing somewhere near 40 times, we have a shot at winning. That means either they've abadoned the run because it's not working or they're playing catch up. In either case, I like our chances if we keep them off balance, which is highly possible. I think our defense will show up to play too. Hopefully Big Al will be back with his head in the game and I'm going to predict a Carlos Rogers intereception for a touch.

One thing Manning doesn't like is pressure and getting beat up. I expect pressure at the right times, not all the time or he'll shred this team during blitzes.

I expect to see more cover 2 w/a lot of mixed coverages & occassional blitzes. I think Haslett has seen that while the front 4 (3 d line + Rak) don't get immediate pressure, if the coverage is good Rak & a someone else will get to the qb. His blitzing strategy has improved a lot, just need to work on leaving so many soft spots in the zones.

Manning will get some yards but won't score much. I think we will control the clock in the 2nd half, get 1 or 2 turnovers & win this one convincingly, 24-13.

I'm actually expecting a convincing win myself.

But then afterwards the spin machine will be in full effect. Manning was off, they're injured in the secondary, this guy tripped and tore his achilles. I swear if won by 30 points the naysayers would say the Colts had an off night, not that the Skins won.

We'll eff bears too.

And Lions and Jaguars

Ok I guess I'll take your word for it.

Better blocking is going to help Torain more than anything. I think by now the coaches know him pretty well.

Well, your always right Matty. Think you and missed my point completly.
