Washington Redskins vs Detroit Lions Pregame Thread

I think the Redskins will win this one, but the defense will struggle again. Suh is going to be a nightmare for Chris Chester to handle one on one, but I think our play action passing game will create both space for RG3 to throw, and lanes for him to throw into. Stafford will have a bad pick that bails our defense out.

Did anyone notice Clay Matthews on Sunday?

I didn't because Trent Williams took him out of the game. He is one of the best left tackles in the NFL.Trent absolutely schooled Matthews when they were matched up, and has been one of the few bright spots on offense this year. The dude who called Williams overrated is clueless about football. People who analyze and appreciate the battles in the trenches know better.

shockingly we are favored to win sunday by vegas

I think it's because of the history of the Lions never winning in DC, and the Skins being a playoff team last year. That means nothing on Sunday, but I think that's why Detroit is getting 2. The line should be Detriot by 3. If I could bet against the Skins I'd load up on Detroit.

LOL!

Washington's been outscored 50-7 in 1st halves this year, but have outscore opp. 40-12 after half. Replace pre-game speech with halftime one

Then we'll lose at the end.




Is Kai Forbath coming back? We're going to miss him while he's out.

So I hear that Brandon Merriweather is practicing today? Really? after being knocked out? How does that work?

Does anybody know if Merriweather is gonna be able to play his 1 series this week?

I told you Morris was rusty and needed more preseason work. Just saying it this way cuz of the way some people on here were dismissing it.

Oh, ESPN said it so it must be true.

I tend to agree though. I was shocked at his lack of involvement in the preseason.
