The Skins first offense looked like a well oiled machine in its first pre-season game and some here thought you had the second coming of the 99 Rams.

Normally, I completely agree with you... the preseason means pretty much nothing to predict how teams will do in the regular season. But! I did see all 5 preseason games and it was fairly shocking to see how the offense was so in sync the first 3 games and in the final 2 games they looked like a high school offense out there.

As for the optimism... I'll be optimistic once the Skins show it on the field. I want to see them play consistent and good, and cut out most of the dumb playing. I want to seem them play good, not just talk about it.

The last couple of years Antonio Pierce has been able to read our offense and know every play. This new offense will be an advantage for the Skins. I like the fact that Santana is healthy and Cooley will have a big game.

This game will come down to a field goal.

If you add our yds for Portis ,,, 240 yds ,,,, sounds even better I really think or OL is the key , they clear room for CP & Betts , we control the tempo/clock and JC gets time to find some open recievers downfield . The last time the NY G's had an ass whipping , we gave it to them .

I think it will be a low scoring game no offense i think Eli returns to old self making bad decisions and I think we can't move the ball good either.

Giants 9
Redskins 10

cambell fumbles twice gets sacked five times and throws two picks.were screwed we need todd collins big time.Its like im the only one that watched the last 5 games from last year. collins makes very few mistakes he moves the ball he wins you games and you put jason back in there why???

jason cambell has heath shuler disease benching him is the only cure.

So they have good drugs in Ca., we all know that. Have you seen how well Todd has apparently picked up on this new WCO, like a turtle running a marathon?

And if JC were to get sacked 5 times that would mean TC would get sacked what.....10?

Great point about the new offense being an advantage, ChillWill. I also feel having Blache as the DC helps too. So while the G-Strings will be familiar with our personnel, they have to adjust to a whole new set of tendencies.

Matty, you're right about these chicken littles around here posing as Skins fans. I've had my cup of Kool-Aid so...

I saw the Redskins struggling to adapt to the WCO initially, but the first 15 plays of Zorns script include an end around pass for Randle El, a halfback screen for Portis, and a deep pass to Moss. Quite simply, Zorn lets the guys loose. All the talent that we've been raving about for years comes to the forefront. The system doesn't matter, its still about getting open, catching the ball, and making plays.

I'm usually pretty optimistic, but I don't have a good feeling about this year at all. This game could be very bad.

I can't remember a prediction thread with this many people picking our opponents. Did everybody forget that we are the last team to beat the Giants and it was in NY and if Joe Gibbs wasn't so conservative we probably could have ended the Giants season in the third week last year. The presason has really messed some people up. Ask yourselves this. What if Jim Zorn is smarter than you give him credit for and hasn't shown anything this preseason for a reason?
