What do you expect in the Atlanta game

Falcons 35+
Skins 10

No team has scored more than 27 points against us since we lost to the Pats by 52 in 2007. That is the longest such streak in the NFL.

Now, while I expect a blowout at some point this season because I truly believe the D will, at some point, start phoning it in 'cause our O is pure suckage, and while I expect Atlanta wins Sunday, y'all ain't scoring 30+ on us. Believe that.

thats funny because i remember the score being 14 to 28 in the 2nd qtr and the falcons ending up only scoring 27 points......so even if we wouldnt have scored again the entire game, you guys still wouldnt have beaten us

I expect that I'll be doing yard work. Unless there's another team worth watching on the television, then I'll not bother.

one thing i learned as a saints fan.....theres almost always something better to be doing than watching your team

but remember.....without the fan support the team moves.....will you still root for the redskins when they are the los angeles applecores?

im expecting our offense to show up and move the chains and score in the redzone - i def wanna see my bro step up in pass protection cuz catching isnt a issue im excited hurry up sunday

I doubt very seriously that the Skins would move anywhere based on the fact that the team is surrounded by and supported by two of the richest counties in the country.

In short there is just too much money in the DC area for any team to walk away from.

We kinda really suck...I expect us to lose.

We will be like Saints fans from the 70's / 80's .... wear bags on our heads Why don't you guys trade Brees to us in the offseason ...

don't get too excited theres a guy named john abraham and he's excited too, i hope davis steps up but this is one of the best DE's in the leauge had 17 sacks last year, evryone talks about atl's o but their d isn't too bad

[GusFrerotte]

Ryan hasn't looked good the past couple games, but the ATL offense is still explosive. An upset could be in the offing, but ATL really needs a victory to have any hope of a playoff berth. The Skins on the other hand are facing some heavy duty demolition work come January and they know it. Still I think our O will improve a bit.

[DCtoAZ]

somehow away from the confinds of Fed Ex Field and the DC rath of fans the Skins' rally the troops and surprise everyone by beating the Falcons

Skins 28
Falcons 24

D.Hall returns a punt for TD in return to A-Town !

OH shit Iread this three times and still has me laughing. In the corner ...Damn

The Giants, Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Panthers didn't blow us out why would ATL? I might be in the minority here but if we block Abraham I have a feeling we will be okay. It will be a close game and we WILL pull this one out. Sherm has had sometime to look at the offense the players are rested and will be ready to go!!! HTTR!!!

one thing i'll say is that if you focuse on abraham too much, babineaux will take advantage of it....at times he made our future pro bowl guard look like a dud

i think the redskins can pull this off if they focus on running the ball and setting up play action....if you can establish the run against a solid run defense, the play action will be that much more deadly against a poor secondary
