An excerpt from an ESPN article today that makes me wonder more and more about our passing game.

. . .Long completions are coming at a record pace. After a slow start, offenses are predictably picking up. Scoring is up a half-point a game and the 44-point average over the past month should give the NFL its second-best scoring season since 1989. Passing yards are up 17 per game to 427.1 combined. Yards per attempt (6.3) and yards per completion (11.7) are up .4 a game."

I have to believe that our offensive troubles are a "perfect"combo of the O-line, WR's dropping balls and not GETTING OPEN, bad playcalling, and Brunell, screwing up.

A 10-11 year veteran QB with a great career QB rating can't be playing this bad on his own....RIGHT??

Detroit 13

umm..your 7 point win over detroit happened last week but it was 17-10..LOL

prediction: Washington finally gets a little offense going against the 27th ranked defense and scores 24 to the Bengals 10. I see a 2 TD win this week.

oops...sorry I meant Cincy, not Detroit

Is anyone coming back on D this week? I keep worrying that we're due for a collapse considering how thin we are.

20-10 Redskins

I don't think our passing game will ever speed up, but Portis is playing well and should have a good game. Maybe we can get him in at QB some more, or maybe even WR, TE, OL. Heck lets just send him onto the field by himself.

24-7 Redskins...yes I saw it, we score more than 18 points this week. Not sure if im willing to say our offense will put up those points though. Taylor scores this week though

24- 17 Skins.
Our D will lay off a little once we build a small lead and give them 1 more TD then they really earn.

RedskinRat · 11-14-2004, 03:26 PM

I still don't see our D allowing Cincy to score more than a field goal.

28-9 in favor of the Redskins.
