I wonder how Griffin is taking the media stuff this week. I know, that in a perfect world he would set it aside and come out and play for the sake of playing the game. That said, it's got to hit him in the face that there are 3 rookie qb's playing today, and he is given the least chance out of all 3 to lead their team to a win. I just can't wait for this game!

[quote=Pigskins;984034]Cedric griffin shows up with vengeance and takes a pick to the house

Offense and defense both put it together in the same week


RG3 19 for 23 and 2 passing TDs

Alf Morris has 200 rushing yards again

Skins win a close one

Skins 31

Hawks 30[/quote]

Not sure I'd call giving up 30 points as the D putting it together. LOl

I'll take it but I'd like to see more like Skins 35 Seah 20

Redskins 26. Seattle 24

Forbath is 4 for 4 on FGs including a 47 yarder to win in the last two minutes, atoning for his miss last week AND earning him rookie of the week honors - yet the latest Redskin to do so. (I think he's still a rookie, technically).

RGIII goes 17 of 26 for 208 yards and 1 td. Morris rushes for 95 hard earned yards. Cofield falls on a ball in the end zone for the other td after Kerrigan knocks it out of Wilson'a hand at the 5 yard line. Crawford has a pick, and Cedric Griffin has a game saving tackle on a screen to Rice, keeping him in bounds and killing the clock at the end.

Carroll in typically classless fashion snubs Shanahan at the end of the game, and their loud mouthed CBs go on record complaining that the Redskins were "lucky" and at the better team didn't win. Thousands of Redskins fans retort "Scoreboard, mother f*ers."

Bring it.

Well he needs to come out and play better then he did last week because I don't think the Seahawks will give him too many second chances like Homo did last week.

Some stats I put together.

Points allow by Seattle Defense at home and away, [Points scored by Seattle Offense at home and away], { Rushing Yards by Skittles Beast Mode}

At home:
7 - Dallas -------[27]-----{122}
14 - GB ---------[24]------{98}
23 - NE ---------[24]------{41}
20 - Minnesota -[30]-----{124}
7 - NYJ ---------[28]------{124}
0 - Arizona -----[58]-----{128}
13- San Fran ---[42]-----{111}
13 - St. Louis --[20]-----{100}

Away:
20 - Arizona (Loss) ----[16]-----{85}
19 - St. Louis (Loss) --[13]-----{118}
12- Carolina -----------[16]-----{85}
13 - San Fran (Loss) --[6]------{103}
28 Detroit (Loss) ------[24]-----{105}
24 - Miami (Loss) -----[21]-----{46}
17 - Chicago (OT Win) [23]-----{87}
17 - Buffalo ------------[50]----{113}

18.8 Points per game allowed away
12.1 Points per game allowed at home

21.1 Points per game scored away
31.6 Points per game scored at home

92.8 Rushing yards per game by Skittles Beast Mode away
106 Rushing yards per game by Skittles Beast Mode home

Data Analysis Summary:
1) Seahawks allow approx. 7 points more per game on the road than at home.
2) Seahawks score approx. 10.5 less points on the road than at home.
3) Skittles Beast Mode has approx. 13 less rushing yards per game on the road than at home.
4) Seahawks points scored both home and away have trended up toward the end of the season.
5) Seahawks did not lose at home. All losses came on the road.
6) Redskins need to score in the mid 20's to have a good chance to beat the Seahawks.

Game prediction: Redskins 24-Seahawks 17

Love it!!! :)

Re: Skins hawks game day thread
 

- Seahawks special teams maybe the best ST's we've faced all year; Leon's going to the Pro Bowl.

- Seahawks secondary is the best in the league
> I expect a lot of fights/flags today with our fiesty and physical WR's against their huge physical CBs
> The negative to having a huge secondary which loves to press is the slot WRs get free easily (Welker, Bess, Titus Young all had HUGE days receiving when they beat the Seahawks). I expect Moss to have a big game.

- Seattle has a rookie MLB named Bobby Wagner you should keep an eye on. He is in the discussion for DROY, and coming out of Utah St he was compared to none other than London Fletcher.

-Chris Clemons (remember him?!) is a very good pass rusher. Bruce Irvin is a speed rusher with 4.5 speed. I expect them to be used to contain Robert in the pocket.
>Their weakness however is that the can be ran over easily (just do some Morris off tackle runs)

-Seattle has a pro bowl Center and a pro bowl LT. The LT Okung, gets injured often. I expect a lot of blitzes up the middle again, along with blitzes up the right side of the line, and rush containment with Kerrigan and Rob Jackson. I expect to see our fastest MLB (Riley) to spy Wilson.

-Pete Carroll runs a 4-3 defense; but really its a hybrid 4-3, meaning lots of 3-4 alignments. Chris Clemons is really a DE/OLB. I expect Red Bryant to have a good game on the rookie LeRibeus.

- Michael Robinson is a pro bowl caliber FB for Seattle, a converted college QB, so he can run, get open, and may do a surprise throw.
>I expect a trick play today from Pete Carroll seeing that he will do fake punts no matter what the score is (see Buffalo game).

-The key to beating Marshawn Lynch is tackling, but more specifically from our secondary. DHall and Wilson need to get physical and wrap up (none of that Gronkowski tackling DHall).

-Teams have had lots of success running on Seattle with jumbo formations(3 TE sets), since their defense is on the small side in the front 7.

-Josh Morgan, an Ex-49er has only played against Browner and Sherman once getting 2 catches for 28 yards on them. The last time Garcon played Seattle, they only had 1 starter that will be playing todays game on their defense (Brandon Mebane DT). Last time Moss played Sherman and Browner he had 4 catches for 29 yards, but Anthony Armstrong our speedster had a 50 yard TD catch. So in summary, Seattle hasn't played our WR core yet.

-Doug Baldwin is Seattles Aldrick Robinson. You hear about him occasionally, and when you do you hear about him making big time catches. He's more dangerous than Rice and Tate IMO.

- I would use a lot of Niles Paul today whether its lining him out wide or putting him on the line, he's fast and physical much like Seattles Secondary.

-Kam Chancellor does the old LaRon Landry, bite on the pump fake pretty hard. I'd do an out and up or hitch and go on him. RG3 needs to look off Earl Thomas because he can cover and close fast than most FS's in the NFL.

-Anthony McCoy their TE has come on of late. Put Cedric on him.

22 picks for Seattle & 6 for Washington. Prove all of those 22 wrong today!

[quote=GTripp0012;984055]Two thoughts about this game.

1) I think the Seahawks are the best team in football.

2) I do not think the Redskins season will end today.[/quote]

I completely........respect these two thoughts.
..........HTTR!
