Skins v. Pats Pregame Thread

[DynamiteRave]

Let's just say, I'm starting Tom Brady and Gronk this week in my Draft Kings lineup.

I think we will fight hard and have a few splash plays with Reed and DJax (and Crowder). But the Pats will be too much and will win something like 37-21.

Brady and McDaniels are gonna attack all the weak spots of our defensive personnel.

I hope Cully and Hall are back or this could get ugly.
We simply don't have enough talent in the secondary to cover Gronk, Edleman, Amendola and now LaFell.

If our front can't hit/pressure Brady....well Barry better think of something. Maybe go after Brady early with blitz backed up by zone so they don't get beat deep in one play. If that doesn't provide hits or pressure on Brady...

It looks like a semi-slow death mixing up zone coverages.

Even if we get DJax back I dont give us a snowballs chance in hell f winning and I'd be surprised if we are within 10.Im glad this is not a prime time game where we are embarrassed once again.
Whats the line on this game anyway?
Pats 52
Skins 24

Pats are on a mission, they have rolled everyone so I'm not expecting anything different this week. This will b a game where we can just say it didn't really even happen. I don't think they score 50 but I say around 35-20

[HailGreen28]

Trap game. We shock the world!!!!! !

[Chico23231]

Key to me is front 4 pressure on Brady and having better health in our secondary.

Gotta feeling we are gonna need to sling it around so we need our passing to game to have its best day...and im not talking just Cousins. We need our receivers to win against their secondary.

Pats: 33
Skins: 20

[SFREDSKIN]

Got to cover Edelman and Gronk, somehow Edelman always gets open, a very tough task.

[over the mountain]

30 - good analysis. Riley/robinson/compton are not going to be able to cover lewis, Gronk, Edleman, Amendola and LaFell (who they say they love).

I really hope we have Hall, Breeland and Culliver back. that way we can play breeland in the slot and have Jarrett play a ton of snaps as well .. basically be in nickel the whole game. Its asking a lot, but jarrett is a tweener btw safety and corner and may be a decent matchup w gronk, at least size/physicallity wise.

As long as Knighton, baker, hatcher, paea, kerrigan, murphy and smith can handle the front and get pressure .. that may allow us to play 4 corners in nickel.

really hope D jax comes out and does his thing right away. we need his presence desperately. at least the pats have to scheme for him this week.

DeSean Jackson's impact felt even when Washington Redskins run - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN

“He does a lot of things well, seems like a really smart guy,” Belichick said of Cousins on Monday. “He runs the offense well. They had some check plays and things like that, he does a good job there. He’s pretty athletic. Even though he hasn’t run a lot, but he moves around quite a bit. They run bootlegs, moving pocket plays, things like that, so he definitely has the quickness to create a little bit of extra time to throw.”

Go on…

“He does a good job at finding and using all his receivers,” Belichick said later. “Running backs, tight ends, and multiple wideouts — they play a lot of people in the passing game. He definitely spreads it around. He’s done a good job at controlling the clock and making key passes to keep drives going.”

^^ mike bullocks film breakdown of the Pats multi option/read offense. depending on what the D does/shows .... brady always has options.

sucks Belichick has 10 days to plan for Reed.

Hope your doing better at draftkings then you are in the yahoo pick em,lol.
Looks like you gave up after the first week
I forgot to pick a couple weeks ago so that took me out of the running unless they throw out a bad week.
How are you doing at draftkings? I only put in 25 at beginning of season,down to 8 bucks left.Only bet 3-5 bucks a week,play a couple dollar entries and the rest .25 entries.Hate playing players that are playing against the skins,hate the conflict of interest,lol,but this week you gotta do it

Our luck, after that brilliant come-from-behind win, we have to get stuck with the New England Patriots. It would probably make more sense to go to a movie at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday.

We don't have the pass rush beat NE. You have to knock Brady around a bit and we just don't have the players to do it. Has Murphy done anything since the Philly game??

Also who is going to cover Lewis? They're going to split him out wide and he's going to go off. That was just a great pick up by NE. Not sure why he was out on the street or why we missed on someone like that. He looks like Marshall Faulk.

Gronk will abuse Riley and Robinson. I'd put Riley on the bench for this game. He should not stiff the field Sunday or he will be exposed. I'd have Compton in there for coverage.

Hopefully KC doesn't shit all over himself. This kind of game worries cause NE will score and he's going to start pressing to try and keep up. But I expect us to score some points, just not nearly enough.

NE 45 Skins 24

I just hope we have a respectable showing.
