Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread

I'm excited RG3 is back but I'm most excited about this will be the 1st time the offense will be playing injury free. I think it's a good idea to start RG3 before the difficult stretch of tough games. I think we show our high power offense this game put up points.

Skins 28
Vikes 13

When will we get the official word on who is starting QB...just before the game?

This Viking game is a game the Skins can win, my only concern is a "rusty" RG3. The Vikings don't score a lot of points, they haven't gone over 20 in 4 weeks, but their Defense is not that bad. If the Skins defense can continue to force turnovers and Robert makes good decisions with the ball, The Redskins can win this game.

Cowboys didn't know that Griff would be inactive until the last second. I'll be disappointed if we don't play the same mind game with Minny. Make them prepare for both QB's.

The best thing for this franchise right now would be for Griffin to come in and light things on fire! We don't need anymore QB controversy. We need him to be the franchise QB we drafted him to be, otherwise, this team will be "rebuilding" for years to come. Ok, so no, he doesn't have to have killer stats, but he needs to prove he can protect himself and lead this team effectively. This team is certainly still missing some pieces, but with good play from Robert we can end this season respectably.

RG3 - 2 passing TD (1 to Reed, 1 to DJax), 1 rushing TD.
Kai - 3/4 FG's
Breeland - 1 INT
Defense - 6 sacks

Redskins - 30
Vikings - 20

I'm trying to be optimistic about this game, but I'm having a hard time with it. Minnesota has a really good defense and some good players on offense too. And with us coming off a big win and a 2 game win streak, who knows what the team's mindset will be. If Griffin actually plays and goes all RG3 over their ass, we should win big. If 2013 Griffin or McCoy plays, we probably have a decent chance as long as the defense plays well and the special teams don't have any f*ckups. Hopefully Haslett doesn't sit back and let Teddy attack us like he does with a lot of QBs. We're better off with an aggressive pass rush.

I think Haslett learned he can trust his rookie corner and his 2nd year corner Amerson after Monday night. With that bit of knowledge, he should be able to continue to disguise his blitzes the way he wants to in order to keep another rookie Teddy Bridgewater guessing. I'm worried more about RG3's decision making and abilities after a 6 week break than our defense at this point.

i give Haz Mat a ton of credit for teh game plan against Dallas and for any second half adjustments he may have made (im not smart enough to recognize if he did or didnt adjust).

BUT this entire defense is still highly suspect imo. it has been better than i thought entering this season, but i dont think we get the same play from the D in the dallas game consistently going forward.

I would attack our secondary and safeties like I was playing madden.
