Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread

Redskins LG Shawn Lauvao (knee) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Lauvao has been dealing with right-knee issues for each of the past two weeks. Josh LeRibeus will fill in against the Giants if Lauvao can't go.

per rotoworld

Grimace making his first start, can he turn his career around?

Actually thought he played well when he came in last game. Biggest thing is we cannot let Eli go off. For some reason I feel like he just absolutely owns us.

We've played well against the run and our secondary is depleted, so why would they feature more running plays against us? Although it doesn't seem likely to me, I hope they do run a lot so we can stuff them.

thats a good point, a scary point but good point. i see our D being vulnerable tomorrow. hopefully hatcher plays, he could be a world of difference.

37-34 giants

unless cousins and the offense is lights out, i just dont see our D holding up their end of the bargain.

even though it is a short week, film is being generated on cousins and gruden's scheme and the giants corners are pretty good.

wasnt it the giants game last year when the refs signaled 1st down on a last min drive for us but then after the next play (incomplete pass), change it back to 4th down?

still cant believe that happened and the head ref said he noticed it but didnt want to correct it bc it would be like a time out for the skins .. who the eff was that ref? eff him was that triplett?

I said 28-21 earlier, but this is another game I think we come out and play like the Jax game. Giants have been diminishing the past years, and I would not be surprised if we make up for the Monday night debacle that sealed my son as a Giants fan :(

At least I hope we do.

44-10 NO special teams gaffes.

Thats my bold koolaid laden prediction.

Got a feeling Fed Ex and Skins is gonna be in a no flex zone.

Skins 48 Giantones 3

*Eli out for the rest of the year which could only be described medically as "pussy hurt"

And people said I was crazy for my 31-14 prediction.

I haven't been this nervous for a game in a while.
If we win, we have a chance of having a respectable season and making progress as a team to build on.
If we lose, we will have a season over analyzing every aspect of the team and why such a talented roster just can't win.

It seems like the Redskins play to not make mistakes while the good teams play to make big plays.

Man. And I thought that I was drinking koolaid. :)

Here is my prediction/prayer to the football gods:

Cousins' stellar performance continues, and he frustrates the Giants, who just can't get to him in time.

The Giants are forced to abandon their game plan of repeating last weeks success on the ground, Jennings hits a wall early, and the redskins early lead forces Manning to try to win it through the air.

Giants start to come back early, but the Redskins refuse a repeat of the Eagles game. Hatcher get's to Manning forcing a fumble or tipping the ball up, Kerrigan grabs the loose ball. D scores a TD to widen the gap.

Morris finishes out strong, breaks 100 yards rushing.

Redskins: 34
Giants: 20

HTTR, Amen
