Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread

With all of the rain we have had today , it reminded me of the " seat cushion " game in the playoffs vs Atlanta . maybe Sunday Orakpo can have a game against Eli much like Dexter Manley had against Simms , when he sacked him 4 times in one game ( maybe 3 sacks ? ) Skins 26 NYG 16 . NYJ 27 CTurds 13 .

That was the second Giants game of 1986. In the first game the Giant's offensive Tackle Brad Benson held Dexter without a sack. Brad Benson made the probowl - in part because of the way he handled Manley. The second game Dexter was mad and took it out on Simms! Yes, I think it was four sacks!

Benson held Manely without a sack in the play offs, though. Giants went on to win the SB.

New Skin #'s we'll see during the game and for the season to come

Chris Neild #95
Roy Helu #29
Brandyn Thompson #32
Tim Hightower #25
Markus White #55

Donte Stallworth and Terrence Austin have the #18 which could mean Stallworth could be gone soon.

Ryan Torain has Butler County CC KS as his school instead of Arizona State

If the field is wet, or Bootleg aspect will be tough, but the stretch run will flourish... Itll be up and down, but I see us winning.

Stallworth is #19, bud.

maybe a typo, but redskins.com (http://www.redskins.com/team/roster.html) has both Austin and Stallworth as 18

As the reigning prediction champ (wilsowilso won the Super Bowl score prediction thread- one point from exact score for both teams)

I predict.

Skins 30
Giants 20

PS - I never won a single prediction thread before that so don't take my word for it.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

Not sure if any of you have already seen this article or not so I thought I'd post it.

Hahaha! I love it! Nice find.

Another year of BS commentating I see.....
The Redskins-Giants game will be televised nationally on FOX. Joe Buck calls the play by play and Troy Aikman provides color commentary. Pam Oliver reports from the sidelines.
Redskins-Giants GameDay Preview (http://www.redskins.com/news-and-events/article-1/Redskins-Giants-GameDay-Preview/e7ba43d3-0c86-4610-87e0-c4ed14d56320)

I've tried to be unbiased but I can't. Fox needs to get their heads out of their arses. He should be commentating the Dallas game. Let an ex-Redskin commentate. I'd even settle with an ex-Redskin and an ex-Giant on at the same time.

Clearly I'm old school. Team loyalty first. No way should an ex-cowboy be announcing a Redskin game. Heck I'll take Dexter Manley and or Riggo and their quarkyness all day over Aikman. I'd even take Joe Theismann.
