We have a franchise QB, from this year forward we are fresh and new.

Remember in week 7 we turned the ball over nearly 6 times and only lost by 4. Tonight we flip the script.

I am in complete agreement with this post. RGIII is a game changer for the Skins. Throw out all the history, jinxes, etc. With RGIII we can beat any team, anytime, anywhere.

Of course, we might lose, too. But the point is that I believe we always have a chance to win with RGIII.

Here's a statistic for everyone. In the last 12 quarters vs. the Redskins, Eli Manning has only 1 TD and 6 INTs. He is without a doubt prone to throw at least 2 or 3 interceptions tonight to the Redskins defense.

Yep, we seem to have him figured out.

2012 Week 7: 1 TD, 2 INT, barely won
2011 Week 15: 0 TD, 3 INT, Loss
2011 Week 1: 0 TD, 1 INT, Loss

Career vs. Skins: 13 TD. 15 INT, 6 fumbles (3 lost) 24 sacks, 55.9%, 73.0 passer rating and 224 yds/game average in 16 games.

LL/HTTR tweeted earlier this week (or last) that they were not going to wear the throw backs tonight. They'll be wearing them for the Ravens game.


Update: It's potentially still up in the air.


LL ‏@HTTR24_7
@EricO_703 original plan was to wear throwbacks vs Carolina & Giants (MNF).. Heard it was up in the air a few days ago, haven't checked since

Not for long.

Their schedule:

Loss to us.
Tough one against the Saints.
Loss on the road in Atlanta
Tough game at Baltimore
Finally a break against the Eagles


The Giants could easily lose 3 of their last 5 games, which will allow us to win the division even if we lose another game.

Our schedule:
WIN vs. Vagiants
Tough game home against Baltimore, could be our one loss
Win in Cleveland
Another blowout in Philly
Clinch at home vs. Cowgirls.

Yes your right. The Giants are 2 games up right now, if we win we are within 1 game tied with Dallas still. If we lose we are 3 games back and 1 game behind Dallas.

I too think the Giants will have a harder end of the season. Ours is not easy because it's mostly division rivals but Dallas can be beat again especially at home and the Eagles were dreadful. I'm worried about the Browns and Ravens but the Ravens are up and down. I'm not as scared about them and have been thinking we might be able to take them now.

Seriously, how did we let the 1-win Panthers flat out embarrass us?

The last time we wore throwbacks against the Giants, we got whipped in our 75ths. Before that, in our 70ths...loss to the Saints. In 1994 for the league's 75th anniversary, we lost two out of three in throwbacks.

I say dump them.


Redskins lose third straight in throwback jerseys

I like the throwbacks also. Mostly the darker (actual Burgundy) color jersey and I prefer the darker metalic (gold) pants they are wearing more so. The helmet I could care less with. I didn't like it at first but it has grown on me and I think it looks neat. Too bad they couldn't stick the logo on the side of the brown helmet. lol.

Then it wouldn't be a throwback. We'd be like the Steelers with a modern helmet with 1933 uniforms. That was the whole point of doing the leather, that's what was worn with this uniform. Great move with the black facemask too...since there was no facemask back then, black is the least-visible color. Gold or Grey would have stuck out like a sore thumb.

I love the leather look on the helmet. No one has ever done this before. It's the best part of the uniform in my opinion.

By the way, the Rams looked GREAT in their throwbacks yesterday. They should be using those colors, not navy blue like every baseball team and Toyota Corolla pale gold.

[los panda]

it's crap like that that snowballs and gets in people's heads.

i'm sure we lost to the panthers because of our uniforms. no other explanation.

just like how romney was voted into office after the game

I've updated my post. He posted this about a day ago, but he's said something else back a few days about it and the Ravens game. (can't find it) I think both of you have got the same info in regards to the uniforms at this current time. (aka...could be wearing them, might not)

I thought so too ... then came Carolina.

[Monkeydad]

I say lets break out the B&G tonight. We need a win.


We really shouldn't believe in this voodoo jinx crap...except for the fact that this stuff always holds true for us! That's what worries me...we're not making these trends and streaks up....they're on paper. We need this game. This is the most important game and we're need a literal miracle to make the playoffs like going 4-0 and the Giants going 0-4 if we lose this game. If we win this game, chances are very good that we'll be in the postseason.

Do everything we can to get fate on our side. If we had a winning streak when Rosanne Barr sang the Anthem for us, I'd bus her in and treat her to the nicest buffet in town for her performance.

We need this game.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Prior to this season I just thought the stars aligned against us.

Turns out, we were just a bad team.

RG3 has really given me reason to believe this year. Let's keep it up and take those assholes out.

[SmootSmack]

If we lose tonight...Pigskins is banned. We all agree that's fair right?
