Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

[quote=skinsfan69;1370681]When I look back at that season and you compare the game now, it's like night and day. The game is so different today. But the same things still matter. In order to have a chance to win it all you need elite QB play, you need a strong o-line and you need a defense that can rush the passer, stop the run and create some turnovers.

We just aren't a complete enough team right now to make a SB run. I don't think Tampa is that kind of team either. We can win this one, I wouldn't be surprised either way if we won or lost.[/quote]

We definitely aren't a complete team. But even with all the holes we have, still went 12-5. We have 3 very important pieces in place, Owner, GM, & QB. You could make a valid argument for 4, if you add Quinn.

We would have to go on an EPIC run to even make the Super Bowl this year. But starting next year, playing to make the Super Bowl is the expectation imo.

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

I prefer to take each game as it comes now. I mean, it's tight in the NFC and even the teams that essentially squeaked into the playoffs (TB & LA) are going to be tough opponents, so you can't even know who will be there in rd2 aside from the Lions. Too soon to talk SB.

But we are a different team to when we first faced the Buccs. With our trajectory we should be favourites, however slight. If the OL holds up I expect a win, 27-21.

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

IMO I think Washington wins, your season has not been what was expected and you hit gold with Daniels. You go into that stadium with a nothing to lose attitude and I think you win.

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

I keep going back to the opener, we didn't look like we even belonged on the same field. Now we are not the same team we were in Game 1. But we are also not the same team we were in October. This offense is not nearly as productive, nobody wants to discuss the infamous KK drop off but it appears to have happened again in Washington. Baker is inconsistant but if he's on he is pretty tough to beat. I don't see how this defense stops the Bucs for 4 quarters and I'm not sure our offense can keep up.


Sorry that's just the way I see it. But at 12-5 and still playing they could lose 100-2 and I'd have no complaints.

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

[quote=HTTR;1370647]Sure, that’s their weakness, but Oline woes include terrible passpro, and if Bucs go heavy blitzing cause we have no run threat (other than #5), things could get ugly

This is not the same team as week 1. TB's blitz was effective and caused JD to miss opportunities that were there in week 1. Since then though, JD is a top 5 QB in the league against the blitz. If he's healthy, and we have some sort of running game outside of the QB position, we have a good shot.

I'm shocked Mara didn't clean house.

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

Giants and Jets man, two complete clown shows.

I feel for my buddies who root for these teams, they are totally checked out and despondent. Reminds me of how we felt the last 10 years or so under Snyder. They have zero hope.

Cowboys d-line managed pretty well against Jayden, whether blitzing or not. No knock against Jayden. I just don’t see such a radical difference since week 1 in our ability to keep pressure off him. No doubt that he always gives us a good shot, though.

Missing our Center sure doesn't help. If Badass is back for Sunday's game, my guess is we'll see a better performance from the o-line...hopefully, that includes the ability to run the ball with our RBs.

Tampa blitzed JD on almost 50% of his dropbacks in that first game. However, for this season he is ranked # 2 in QBR, # 2 in pass + rush yards, and tied for 5th in touchdown to interception ratio (12-1) against the blitz.

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

Looks like Marshon Lattimore and Tyler Biadasz are back at practice today.

Not me, these guys deserve a chance to pick their own QB. They are getting their contracts if it fails it's all on Mara. One big problem is the NY Press was made to look like the ass's they are and now it's a free for all on Mara and the Giants. Jones was Mara's guy when he gave them permission to waive him that's when I knew they were staying.

only issue with that is that if they pick their QB and next season is still shit . . . they will get shitcanned and the new coach will once again be stuck with a QB he didn't pick . . . why not start fresh with a new coach that gets to pick his QB?

This is why I never understood why the Bears didn't fire Eberflus last year.

IMO becuase Mara forced Jones on them.

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

Hearing about Lattimore practicing is very good news. I forgot the first time we played the Bucs Forbes was CB for over 50% of snaps before he got himself benched

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

So Joe Redskin and I just got tickets and we are driving down for the Sunday game. Anyone else going to be there?

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

Can’t start slow, this is a balanced offense we’re facing and we’re going to be challenged to keep them out of the end zone. We need to score consistently throughout the game, can’t wait until the second half to get it going.

We’ve done it before. Jayden scored on just about every possession against Cinci, and their defense is similar to the Bucs. They blitz, they play some man, and the secondary is gettable. Winning the turnover battle would go a looong way in this one.

I think we pull this one off, 33-31, good guys.

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

My cynical side says the o line and the defense don't match up at all. Blowout with an attempted come back.

Hope I'm wrong.

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

The injury report looks pretty good all things considered, and if Lattimore can go the whole game (whole playoffs?...) then I for one am confident of our chances. Key for me is our best OL is back together again, plus it looks like Ekeler is good to go, so we should have the whole playbook open to KK.

Same here. I'm gutted its the late KO and I can't watch it live. I don't think there'll even be time to watch Monday morning before a working life takes over, then its a case of can I avoid notifications on my phone, this forum, threads on other forums, sports news, Youtube etc etc for the entire day

Re: Washington @ Tampa Bay Playoff Game
 

Don't even care if they win or not today. You can't ask for a better season than the one we had coming from the terrible situation the past 2 decades. The future is definitely brighter. That said, this team is very capable of winning this game.
