WEEK 1 : Redskins vs Dolphins Prediction Thread

I think the defense will actually be solid in this game as everyone but breeland will be in together. Kerrigan and others didn't play much in preseason

I really dont know. The preseason was whacko.....
I will say that if we win this opener we will probably eclipse .500 for the season.

1.We really need the oline to protect cousins in passing situations because Miami is very capable rushing the passer.

2. The key to our season will be running the ball, Alfmo and Matt jones are physical backs, let's set the tone at home week 1 of smash mouf football.

3. Tannahill looks like a real qb this preseason for the first time in his career. He stands tall in the pocket...we need to keep him on his toes and knock him off his spot in the pocket. He is mobile, but he doesn't make plays outside the pocket like Big Ben, romo or Rogers.


I think the game comes down to who ever Oline protects and open holes for the running game. I think this is a sloppy first half and we keep it close, losing in the end: 20-26 Miami

Redskins 27 Dolphins 24

Kirk throws 2 picks but passes for 325 yards, defense gives up 450 yards but gets 2 ints and recovers a fumble.

Wake/Suh & co. dominate our O-line, Tannehill has the time of his life v. our secondary... I don't see this one going well.

hmmm.. this is a tough one:
Redskins 17
Dolphins 14

Cousins 256 yrds 1 TD 1 INT
Alf + MJ combine for 105 yrds 1TD

Redskins 35- Dolphins 31

- Cousins helps O-line w quick decisions but has 2 picks, one pick-6
** but he battles back and puts us in play to win at end
- Running game is <50 yards but MJones helps w dump offs
- Amerson / Goldson kill us giving several big plays
- Dline is good but Tannehill gets rid of ball quickly / screens negate pass rush


I predict win, just because I'm a fan. But it will be tough, may have better chances as Breeland comes back and we get stronger mid-season.

I would like to make a prediction, but I can't. I have no idea what this team is going to look like.

If we have less than 50 yards of rushing, Kirk throws a pick 6 and those two give up several big plays the score will be something like 42-10.

It's imperative we keep as much balance as possible.

We're gonna have to keep running the ball and not get discouraged.

Kirk is gonna have to limit his turnovers.

If the stars align I could s
