Week 6 Washington Redskins vs Minnesota Vikings Pregame Thread

This might be the most important game for MS. He needs to win this one badly. Can't go 2-4. Minnesota beat us last year with Joe Webb and Toby Gerhart and our defense was healthy. It will be close, can't drop another game at home.

The Redskins are in EVERY game. That's more then can be said for a lot of other NFL teams. I felt like last week was a game that was going to show the direction the Redskins wanted to go, but then RG3 got hurt. We've had a pretty tough schedule so far if you are going by records in the first 1/4 of the season.

I'm hoping we continue looking solid on offense with improved defense performances every game.

You're absolutely right. The Redskins could very well be 5-0 right now. One thing I never liked is to see the team fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting, and continuously coming up short in really close games. And then the team record goes to 2-3 when the team actually plays like a 5-0 or perhaps a 4-1 ball club.

Solid, but still need alot of work on converting 3rd downs when it counts.. keeping our d resting for longer.. i put last games 3rd down % mostly on Kyle, i thought the play calls on 3rd down were way too predictable and just... bad lol... thats what i meant by missed opportunities.. if we convert even 3 or 4 more of those 3rd downs... we win that game vs ATL.

Stop the run, which we failed to do last year even when ap went down and toby came in... protect the passer whomever it may be.. pound the rock but PLEASE mix up the play calling rythym better.. throw mire screens like week one, more draw plays.... and after last week especially, more deep shots.
Let's hope the new kicker kicks well!

If he makes all 6 extra points I will forgive him the 64 yarder he misses right before the half.

Bonus prediction:
If we win the toss, we will defer.

Weirdly enough, if we win, it's likely we'll be tied for first place in the NFCE. Who woulda' thought that?!

RGIII recovers to play well, Skins finally get it together

A big, if not critical, point of interest to me will be to see if Grossman is active. It would be a bit telling of the coaches evaluation of Cousins if after 5 consecutive games where he is the backup, after his first shot he no longer carries the lone backup banner. I don't know what I would want them to do, but I will be very interested to see how it is handled, assuming Griffin plays.

Yup. Right on.

I hope that Grossman is our #2. Sure, he might throw 3 interceptions. But he also might play quite well (good Wrecks/bad Wrecks). Cousins looks lost and in need of seasoning.

I think we'll win. I just saw RGIII in a Subway commercial and he seemed pretty coherent.
