my confidence is shaken after last 2 games,I think giants pass rush will be too much for us even without Osi
Giants 21
Skins 9
that poll is way off,reading everybodys post its 28 for skins,21 for giants
Well if your going by preseason then its our favor. We beat the Jets and they lost to the jets. We win by one point.

The Giants typically start slow, and they have had a decent amount of turnover this offseason. Losing both starting DE will hurt them more than people expect. I see the Redskins winning a close and physical game by relying on the running game. The defense will play a strong game despite allowing a good amount of points. Although if Landry and Taylor don't play the Redskins probably will not win the a divisional game on the road.
Redskins 27
Giants 24

With a damn heavy heart and the sincere hope of being wrong... 42-13 Giants.
Sure, their defense will not be as dominant, but I think people underestimate the Giants' offense now. Eli will be an elite QB this year and throw for a ton of TDs. Meanwhile, our offense continues to struggle behind JC and opposing d anticipating the same old rushing attack.

The giants won the super bowl mainly because of their pass rush (Strahan and HumanUrine) Where are they now? We should have beat them twice last year. I hope our team has more confidence than what I'm hearing here. GO SKINS! Rip em a new one!

Plenty of chicken littles out in full force.
So Matty, let me get you on record here...
Nothing that you saw in the final two preseason games made you the least bit hesitant about the Redskins in any way, shape, or form?
I just wonder if Zorn made things ridiculously simple in the HOF game, then after integrating more of the offense, the players got a little bogged down; maybe even regressed somewhat.

I'm usually pretty optimistic, but I don't have a good feeling about this year at all. This game could be very bad.
I'm usually pessimistic about the Skins. But somehow, I got some positive vibes around draft time -- looked at our personnel with Cooley, Portis, Moss; hoped that Campbell would make the jump to a top-level QB, and then things looked great at the HOF game.
After that, they went back to giving me that sinking feeling. Joe Gibbs started out 0-5, Marty did the same, and poor Ritchie Petitbon goes 3-13 in his first year. I think the odds are against Jim Zorn coming roaring out of the gates.
I think a lot of people are going to look back at this very moment and wonder why they didn't see it coming.

Nope, not really.
Looking at the preseason as a whole it went about the way I expected it would. We saw some good things and we saw some bad things, and pretty much everything in between.
My expectations for the season haven't changed based on what I saw during the preseason. I thought the Skins were an 8-10 win team before camp and I still do now.
