What do you expect in our Week 5, Skins vs. Panthers matchup

Redskins, historically, own the Panthers.
But the Redskins have recently sucked when playing against the Panthers in Carolina.


Which one will arise this game?


We're 4 point underdogs to a winless team. Does that tell us anything?

23-13 skins

Uh oh

I see Carolina winning but not putting up 34 points. Although those QB numbers do seem eerily accurate to what the numbers probably will be like.

We finally break out 24-17 Skins. With someone looking over JZ shoulder he calls better plays.

RE: the OP, i expect misery, straight and to the point.

Yeah the line i got was 3 1/2. If I could bet against us I'd do it. But I can't do it. Skins have not covered all year. This game has trap written all over it. I'd say Carolina wins and covers but I hope like hell I'm wrong.

Alright, its my turn:


During halftime there were no speeches, but the coaches were helping out their players. According to CC, he gathered Moss,JC, and Portis to just say lets make some plays.

Well it worked!

This week vs. the panthers the skins will need to do the following:

1. Run Defense- The Panther are capable to kick our tails on the ground (Preseason 08), but if the D can build what they did to the bucs' RBs, we will be straight in this category.

2. Pass Defense- I hope Blache can keep up with the blitzing from last game. JD is the opposite of Josh Johnson. What i mean is he is not a mobile QB. So if they can stop the run, than JD will be forced to make plays by his arm. This can go two ways:
DHall can shutdown SSmith(*fingercross*), than im sure that with the blitz we can produce turnovers.
Or we could get eaten up in the secondary like MStafford did(somehow).
I hope that CRogers catches 2INTs(i know, i know).

3. Run Offense- To be honest, against the Panthers 32nd ranked rush D... Portis+Mason= The first OFFENSIVE(Not STeams) rush TD!

4. Pass Offense- JC needs more than just Cooley and Moss. He needs some targets, or else itll be another defensive game.(the boring ones)

5. FGs- hopefully they are all offensive nonblocked extra points!
Punts- I dont if Hunt the Punt. will be healthy enough, but if " that other guy" has to play i hope he puts us in a good defensive position. I hope we keep punts to a minimum.

6. The First Drive/ 3rd Quarter/Second Half- These are all pivotal moments that will need to be executed pefectly in order to take this game.

First Drive- Momentum is the ____ to the ____( * add quote there*)

3rd Quarter- For the second straight game we have benn clicking in this quarter. Its also the panthers worst quarter stat-wise.
Second Half- If the redskins are winning (hopefully by a touchdown or two) we would have to close the game. Simple!

7. Jim Zorn/ Sherman Lewis- Im intersted to see if he really can help this potential-filled-struggling-offense.

8. Faith, Motivation and Support- Us Fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carolina isn't anywhere near as bad as the Bucs and we play them in Carolina. Redskins lose this one and it wont even be close.

Ha, sometimes I get a brain fart also and have trouble remembering how to spell the smallest of words. :) It would have been funnier had you simply used "R" instead. :) Totally not making fun of you just basking knowing someone else has the same problems.

Haha....good one. There happens to be a lot of B-days between our, are, and R...shit happens on the small words, I guess.....lol

Heres to hoping the SKINS can play 60 SOLID minutes of football Sunday afternoon in all three phases of the game, if so I like our chances. To WIN by ONE.

seriously if we win more than 4-5 more games this season it will be a fuckin miracle.
