G.D. The Giants are dropping like flies. If there ever was a time to take it to 'em it would be this Sunday.

If we don't tear that D a new one something is seriously wrong.

I dont see the Skins tearing any team a new one but I do think they will have some offensive success vs the NYG.

CRedskinsRule · 09-06-2011, 05:02 PM

I think the Giants had one of the worst player run off season workouts. I don't know that that means that much, but you have to wonder whether their D was out of condition, or if the coaches are pushing them harder to make up for the lost time.

They have looked out of sync all pre-season, and although I am doubtful the Skins have blowout potential, I think the Giants are going to be on the wrong side of ALOT of lopsided games this season.

That said, until the Skins show me they can win convincingly in the regular season, I'm still calling them close.

Skins 31 NYG 26

Mhm. Bullee DAT. Still though, I'm sick of losing to the Giants, and I hope the 'Skins players are too.

If we are as good as I believe we are, this team should really lay a walloping on the G-men. They are hurting right now and there is no realistic way they should beat us at home. Seriously, the mediots need to get a grip - if anything, the Skins will be fired up out of a lack of respect.

Look for this to be an emotional, fired up team that is out to make a statement and shut up the neigh-say'ers. :FIREdevil

Absolutely not. I think maybe what he was saying, is from a fan's perspective, it would really suck to lose on that day....for anyone.

Not to harp on the 9/11 angle but on that day we were all fans of the same team, so I'm sure players on both sides will be equally hyped to go out and do well. 9/11 was bigger than New York vs. Washington.

VegasSkinsFan · 09-06-2011, 05:27 PM

Just got back from Mandalay bay. The lined started at giants -3 and it's now giants -2.5. Sounds like people are pickin the skins.

Mods, please let me know if odds and such are frowned upon. It's legal to gamble where I live!!!!

I think it's overhyped. The players are different an while it's an emotional day, it isn't like it happened last year. If that really gives a team more motivation then they aren't professionals. I don't buy into bulletin board stuff either.

I don't know brother...to me it still seems like yesterday, and I hope it always does.

I can see the guys on the field getting extra pumped, a little extra adrenaline flowing than usual on Sunday - both sides.

Surely that doesn't make them unprofessional.
