Cliche but whoever wins the battles at the line of scrimmage will win the game. This game will be key in establishing position in the division and NFC.
Everyone's going to watch the redskins off. line to see how they perform against an always threatening giants defensive line. And on the other side- the key is to stop a motivated and rejuvenated Jacobs early without overcommitting too much to do it. That means the front 3 and inside linebackers must do their individual jobs well. So the pressure will be on the inside linebacker lining up next to Fletcher and the other de opposite Bowen. If they perform well then the redskins d will also be in good shape. If not, it will be a long game.

I completely agree.
This game will also be a good indicator of how far we have come as a team. If we get pushed around like a bunch of punks - it's going to be a long year. I really think that we have it together and will win this game easily. The second Giants game will be more competitive....not wearing my Skin's hat here...just trying to call it like I see it. :silly:

Agree, Giants always find a way to finish strong...
I haven't checked, but I thought it was kinda the other way around. Seems like they started strong the last two years, but kinda sputtered at the end. Last year they could have clinched a playoff with a win against Philly and choked on the D. Jackson return, then lost to GB. Again, I could be wrong. I do know that they have had our number for a long time. On Skins Nation the other night they said our last opening day victory against the Giants was back in the 70's, we need to fix that this Sunday.

I think he was being sarcastic as other than 2008 they have recently fallen apart late in the season.
On a side note I really like the new look of the Warpath! Good job whoever took the time to give it a facelift!

You're right Rule. There is no Green Bay type season in the Giants future. I'm looking forward to sweeping the G-Men this season.

Welcome and by chance are you over on ES? I know one dude over there by Polywog. He's got some strange posts, but at least he's not a village idiot from what I can tell.

Seriously?
They tank the last month EVERY year since their SB year.

Agreed. Over their last 4 games:
2008 - 1-3 (Their one win came in overtime)
2009 - 1-3
2010 - 2-2
Even in their SB year they only went 2-2 (and 4-4 over their last 8).
