Washington Redskins vs Detroit Lions Pregame Thread

I don't know what to say about this game. I can't really see us winning unless something magical happens and the offense finds a way to get it's explosiveness back like last year. Could be another long day if not..

I think we're in trouble. Until we show we can stop anyone and get anything going on offense before the 3rd quarter (especially on 3rd down) I'm really worried about this one.

I could see Stafford going for 400+.

We are getting our 1st win this weekend folks

We win this game no doubt about it! This team knows how desperate this is and RG3 has a huge statement to be made.. I'm not predicting a score or stats I just say we get a W and then start a small winning streak.

Oh no, if Matty is having doubts, then I know the 'skins are in trouble! I just don't see the 'skins dropping to 0-3. As matter of fact, I see this game as the springboard to recovery - but I think it's going to be high scoring on both ends.

No way we go 0-3!! ....Right?? I think will win this weekend but it must be denial. Based on what we have seen nothing really indicates that we will win. We need the read option with RG3. If we can't then obviously that means he's not ready. If we are going to run our offense this way we are better off with Kirk. I realize it's only 2 games but at this rate I wonder how long it would take for Shanny to make a decision. I love Grif but if he's not ready how can we be effective?

They're not going to bench RG3, why people think Shanahan's going to bench him is beyond me. Yeah, RG3 is sucking right now but I think the only way RG3 hits the bench is if he's obviously physically hurting.

Otherwise, strap on your safety belts, we're going on a huuuuuge learning curve.

Anyway, in regards to this Sunday's game... I dunno man. The defense blows the offense blows. I just hope I'm wrong about this.

Wishful thinking here ..... Griffin runs for 100 yds , throws 3 tds and Reed also throwing a TD ..... we beat the cowardly Lions 37 - 33 .

With a change in attitude, we will see a team so different that we will wonder who was on the field in Green Bay.
