Skins @ Lions pregame thread

Lions v Skins stat:
the Skins lead the series 30-13, but Detroit has won the last 3, and since 1999 is 4-2 against us in Detroit

Pretty sure RG3 rookie year we won 5 in a row. How many in a row did we win last year?

yep you are right, it was 2012, before that was 2005. I forgot about the end of season streak with RG3, good call. It was 4 last year, and the 2nd playoff run in JG2.

Yes. First playoff run under gibbs 2.0.
2012 they finished 6-0. 6-1/2 if you count the first half against Seattle. Man they were rolling. Than the injury.

Damn. I remember that so well. First time I got thrown out of a bar. Dude saw I was the most enthusiastic (drunk) Redskins fan there. Would do a slow clap any time Seattle made a good play. I eventually got up in his face... :(

Not my proudest moment to hassle someone over sports...

We are not blowing out Detroit guys. They are on a roll and Stafford is playing MVP level of football. I think without a run game that will ultimately hurt them too much and we win a close game. 31-24. Our offense in a dome will be too much for the lions defense but again Stafford is rolling.

Cousins will have 4 tds 0 ints

Sorry, what injury?

Stafford is balling (and their receivers corps is quite good), but he's pretty much the only one ballin' on the team. They are not that much on a roll IMO: they (barely) beat the eagles but almost blew a 21 - 0 lead, wasn't if for the late INT, and almost lost to the RAMS, wasn't it for the late INT... So if KC is playing smart football, I say we have the weapons to blow them out (not sure we'll do, but definitely can) !

Our CB's will be tested in this game, Detroit has got some good receivers and Stafford has been hitting them, Detroit always tough at home. Proceed with caution.

A couple of negative nancy moments:

Detroit somehow always finds a way to get under the Skins skin. They won't be an easy win by any stretch.

Breeland is going to have his make or break game. I have to believe the other NFL teams have watched this year and know he isn't the same corner as last year. With Norman playing lights out, Stafford is going to go mercilessly at Breeland. IF he steps up, it will be a huge statement game. If he continues to struggle, it will be a looonng afternoon.

This game should be a eye opener to the rest of the league about our offense. If we don't put up over 35, it will be because Gruden took his foot off the gas and lacks aggressiveness in point accumulation. Something I have disliked about him for the past 2 years.

When was the last time the Redskins won 5 in a row? Does anyone know without google?

It's a rough one this week, not because we can't win it, but more so because Detroit is just enough of an enigma to the Skins that we probably won't win.

I trust Bree to have a good game but Stafford is a good QB and they do have decent receivers. Norman was only targeted once last week so I imagine Bree will be tested but hopefully we can roll some help towards his side. Thats the luxury of having a Norman, we can dictate to the opponents offense to a degree.

5 in a row - the year ST unfortunately passed away and Todd Collins carried us into the playoffs is my best guess.

Lions seem to be about as banged up as we are.
