I just want to get through this game completeing passes to our WRs... for several yards. Even if we lose I want to see that happen. (crossing fingers)
I'd find a better word to use than several.

High expectations for the game huh? You just want to see some passes completed to the WRs?

Yep.. and a win would be nice if we can make it happen. I also would love to watch Landry knock the snot of someone. Hopefully my TV will survive the game.

This game begins a tough year for both teams. We'll win it fairly closely - skins 20 g-men 14, but after that we might lose the next 3.
So you think we will beat the Giants, but possibly lose to Arizona? No matter what happens Thursday, I can't imagine the disarray that would follow a loss to Arizona.

I don't think we win this game.
I do put some stock in SOME aspects of the preseason. In the last two games we didn't run the ball real well, but I'm not worried about that. CP will take it to them. But we have no ability to throw the ball right now. I think we'll pass protect better than we did against the Panthers, but I don't think it matters. With Thomas and Kelly being worthless, there's nothing to stop the Giants from rolling coverage to Santana Moss. And of course without Thomas and Kelly, the Giants can key on Cooley and Fred Davis in the red zone.
Campbell clearly doesn't have the timing down yet, either.
Our defense will keep us competitive. And I expect Zorn to get conservative and run the living sh** out of Portis, because not much will work through the air.
In the end we keep it pretty close as our defense hangs in there. Portis gets 30+ carries, and goes over 100 yards, but Campbell is ineffective and throws an ill-timed interception. Then Eli beats us with one or two big plays downfield.
Giants 20
Redskins 16

The more I think about it, I don't see us winning this game. Heart says "Skins Win", Brain says "rebuilding year..."

If Portis gets his....100+ yards there is no way we lose this game. The defense really hasnt shown much throughout the preseason...so with better play on that side of the ball i think you see us win this one.
