Redskins @ Bucs Gameday thread

[CRedskinsRule]

Week 4 is here.

All the hopes and fears of Redskins fans will show themselves today. With the strength of our opponents picking up after this week, and our Skins D not showing up in the previous games, this game may well be the defining game of our season. IF we come out and manhandle an equally troubled Tampa Bay squad, we will gain a huge momentum boost, and be back at 2-2, one back behind whoever leads the NFCE. IF we come out and get manhandled, then this season looks longer and darker (as some of the threads this past week have shown).

If we slug it out, and win or lose a tight one, then this squad is who we have known the Redskins of the last 10 or so years to be. Strong on one side, weak on the other, and unable to make a sustained run that is needed in today's NFL.

But, I'll still be watching, and looking for any spark that sends hope and awe for our future, and more importantly, this season.

GO SKINS!!

He is to a big game from Garcon, Hankerson, and the rest of our offense and defense. But, it has been nice to watch the growth of Perry Riley.

PG will help us huge today, I see the offense playing good again, defense will force a couple turnovers and we win by 10

Can't start 1-3

[GTripp0012]

Lets put it on the Bucs today and get back on track.

2-2 is where this team needs to be heading into next weekend. If 1-3, we're digging out of a pretty big hole early. The Bucs have struggled offensively all season. If the defense is planning on having a good game this year, now would be a good time.

For some reason, I think Merriweather makes a key play or two today. If Garcon returns, I think we have another offensive explosion.

[MTK]

Big game today, need this one bad.

Also, I hate 4PM games. Bleh. Sucks sitting here waiting waiting waiting and then after the game the day is over. Oh well.

It's an interesting matchup. Worst offense in the league (last in NFL in yds/game, 3rd down %, and yards/play), versus the worst defense in the league (again, just statistically, I don't actually think we're the worst). Something will have to give. Either the skins defense steps up, or the bucs offense does. I had a hard time picking this matchup in my pickem' league.

But I really think we'll notice garcon and meriweather being back.

2nd to the worse.

I still think this will be a good game though. After the rough past 2 weeks, I just don't see us losing this.

[GTripp0012]

Ton of our free agent dollars coming back off the inactive list today.

That should make a difference, no?

[Bucket]

Hopefully PG shows up big today, like in week 1. I'm pretty excited to see Merriweather out there. He sounded very confident this week that he was going to make a difference.

[Jayroc24]

Anyone heard anything on Silverback?

[CultBrennan59]

Supposedly he's not playing today^ and I dont want PG and Merriweather playing if their still hurt, because that just means more setbacks.

[Jayroc24]

Well thats is not good news at all, considering what I seen from replacement last week.
