If the Skin can go in there and handle the Giants Sunday we very well may see a 12-4 season or better.

welcome my man

How the skins will win:
Offensive Ballcontrol~ keep their offense of the field
Clock control
They will cover Plax the same way they cover TO
Washington will be responsible for Shockey
shut down the Tiki and the running game
Blitz Lavar, Springs and Bowen on Eli...

As I see this schedule, I can see us beating every one of those teams, we just have to stop defeating ourselves.

Well if you look at the stats the Giants have the 31st ranked overall defense in the NFL just ahead of the 49ers. If the offense can put up some points and control the clock this game should not be as challenging as we thought. We all know Joe Gibbs will have the Skins prepared and the one big factor will be playing in New York. In terms of matchup's look at how Tony Gonzalez did. not much. In terms of covering their receivers Springs will def. be on Plaxico and hopefully Carlos Rogers will be healthy enough to play to cover Toomer. This should be another game that the offense will control and with LaVar back on the field the defensive intensity should step up.

diehardskin2982 · 10-24-2005, 11:35 PM

this will also come down to controlling turnovers

I thought I would have to defend the Redskins against some fans who actually still doubt the consistent dominance of our team. But you guys have pointed out the obvious which allows me to go to work tommorrow and spit statistics about our 2# offense and 4# defense and the Giants pitiful 31st defense. Redskins 31, Giants 17

That Guy · 10-25-2005, 12:42 AM

no turnovers, run the clock... they have very little in the way of high-talent difference makers on defense, so that's the best way to play them.

Eli could easily be their best player after a terrible rookie year... i haven't seen much, but he's been really impressive so far. We'll probably drop 8 a lot like we did against seattle, since that seems to workk well on QB's capable of burning the blitz.

Redskins 24, Giants 17

Here's my unrealistically detailed prediction of the offense's stats.
Brunell 24/32 250 yards with 2 TDs
Portis 110 yards on 25 carries with 1 touchdown
Moss 6 receptions for 120 yards, 1 TD
Cooley 4 receptions for 65 yards, 1 TD
Patten 4 receptions for 50 yards

Manning is good, but our defense is better and the schemes will confuse him. Our offense will have no problem.

The Skins are +2. Bet that all day. I just put up my house and my dog...I love my dog...

My concern is Antonio Pierce. He was very familiar with Gregg Williams' defense. Pierce could give some ideas to Giants O-coordinator to exploit some of our defensive schemes. One or two big plays by the Giants offense could be the difference (just like Denver and KC game).

coggs · 10-26-2005, 12:26 AM

Well, ticket sources 2 through 4 were stabs in the dark. They are the guys who always say, "Yeah man, call me if you ever want to go." I call, and all of a sudden they have nothing because their cousin's roommate's ex gf from elementary school is in town and wants to go. Then they call me an hour before kick-off and say (yes, one actually did this) "Yo, I'm in the parking lot, I have a ticket if you can get here before I try to sell it...." Source #1 is reliable. If I call him ahead of time and he says, "I might, give me a call next week." It means he does. Well, I saw him at game sunday, asked if he had any extras, he called me today to say he has 2 for me. Never seen the skins play at the meadowlands. Looking forward to this one.

I don't think a lot fo blizting is a good idea, this Giants team seems to pick it up really well. Treat it like a change up in baseball. Just throw it in there once in a while to keep there off balence. Oddly enough I am more worried about the Skins D in the this one than the Offence, if only becuase the Gnats are much better on that side of the ball. I hope to see a decent portion of Portis with enough long ball to Moss to keep them honest. This will keep Eli on the sidelines.

12thMan · 10-26-2005, 04:56 AM

Here's what I basically see.

Turnovers or lack thereof will be key period.

We should beat this team 31-17.

Our offense is starting to feel it, and when that happens more role players begin to emerge. I think this game more than any other will set the tone for us for the remainder of the season.

coggs · 10-26-2005, 07:44 AM

For all the yards the Giants have given up, only one team has put up 30+ and that was when LaDanian Tomlinson (sorry, I refuse to call him LT) had a huge day. I wouldnt count on the skins scoring 31 on Sunday.

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-26-2005, 09:07 AM

I wouldn't count on it, but I would say it's VERY possible.
