Week 3: Redskins v Giants predictions

[Jamaican'Skin]

The Giants are a dangerous team at this point so I say

Skins 17
Giants 3

After the first half

Skins 30
Giants 16

I think you are correct, but last I heard, he was going to play Sunday.

We're getting mighty big for our britches up in here. Might I remind everybody that the Dolphins took us to overtime and the Eagles could have scored a TD in the last minute against us to put them in position for a game tying 2-pointer.

Bottom line is we're 2-0, which is great. But are we THAT good? Failure on a third down or two in either of those games could have led to a loss. As always in the NFL, the line between winning and losing is not very big.

Redskins 24
Giants 20

A nailbiter again, we come out on top because our QB is more poised than theirs.

We also could have blown the Eagles out of the water if JC didn't overthrow Moss at the end. That game wasn't as close as the score.

[BrunellMVP?]

Redskins: 27 pts (3 Tds, 2 Field Goals) JC tosses 2 and Portis gets one
Giants: 19 pts (score 1 TD and 4 field goals) bend not break holds strong. (note- we need to defend the lob to the endzone...)

I'm nervous about our line, but I am really happy with Campbell's progress. Moss , ARE and Cooley will have big days. wins are the best source of confidence. The skins will keep their chip on their shoulder and dominate...

You're right, people act as though we seriously "struggled" with the Eagles. Shoot, you add that one drop by Cooley and the score could have been more lopsided. I like what Sellers said, "McNabb played bad because we made him play bad"

Same thing with Miami. Smoot catches that ball, and we're not even talking OT. Truth is, this is a team that could be on the cusp of exploding offensively.

Or if Moss didn't have those drops against Miami, we could have extended some drives and blown them out.

People seem to only play the "what if" game when it comes to negatively looking at the Skins. Fact is we can play the what if game all day from all angles, fact is the Skins are 2-0 and that's all that really matters.

Folks, we haven't been offensively dominant against any team. It's time that happened.

Redskins 27
Giants 10

Redskins: 34

Giants: 17

I like it, in terms of losing the chip on the shoulder ... last years 5-11 horror film left quite a chip.... so i think we should be good there for at least a few more games,

Now that's funny.

With all seriousness, I believe the Redskins will win. It will be close in the first half, but we run away with it in the second half.

Redskins 34
Giants 16

Reskins 28
Giants 10

Randle El has 100 receiving yards for the 2nd time in 3 games. Moss scores on a 30+ yarder. Portis has 120 yards, Betts 75. Ball gets stuck in Rogers' face mask for our first INT. Cooley bangs each one of their cheerleaders.

We will lose Campbell, Betts and Rabach to injuries.

That is just cold and wrong.

I know, I figured I get more of a rise out of people but not so much.

The Giants are a mess and on the verge of imploding. All the Skins have to do is stay focused and they will win.

The "What if" game is ridiculous and really shouldn't be considered. Things could always have played out differently, but ultimately, they didn't. That same logic that catapults us to two blow out victories could be done conversely, and we're 0-2.

What if Chris Chambers, and Miami's new TE from Green Bay didn't have stone hands? What if Ronnie Brown had actually lived up to his #2 pick status and broken some tackles? What if Zach Thomas was actually still as good as he's hyped up to be and wasn't folded up every time he tried to tackle? The Skins could've lost that game.

What if "White Lightning" Kevin Curtis was actually fast enough to outrun our secondary or wasn't afraid of Laron Landry's thunderous hits? What if Donovan McNabb trusted his receivers more to make plays? What if Andy Reid decided to run Brian Westbrook down our throats? What if Lito Sheppard had played the game? What if Brian Dawkins didn't get laid out by Todd Yoder? Well, the Skins could've lost that game.

Now, wasn't that a waste of time? :tongue
