my biggest fear for this game is that the birds will do what the giants did to minimize the pass rush by going to that quick/short passing game. I hope the dc doesn't fall into the trap of being afraid of getting beat deep and playing everyone so far off the ball to minimize the chance of getting beat deep that it opens up miles of underneath room for them to get 1st downs and chew up clock.
They did that against the giants in fear of getting beat by ODB, I'm afraid we will see the same thing this week. Zero or one sack by the defense because the short stuff is open, no turnovers forced and a runaway game.
HOPEFULLY they will play aggressive and force the birds to win the game, vs giving it to them an easy 5 to 8 yards at a time, which will result in a sure loss anyway.
To elaborate further, look at the cowgirls game. up 28-7 what do they do?
play prevent and lose the game.
I think we will start out playing prevent, especially with the depleted secondary. What that will do is give them long time consuming drives, make their running game look more credible than it is, and by the time they decide to change the plan because prevent isn't working, it will be too late.
Here's to hoping they prove me wrong!

I'm ok with keeping everything in front of them, make ATL earn it all the way down the field...as long as we choke 'em out in the red zone and force FG attempts

The problem is, that plays right into the birds strength. Ryan is more than happy to throw short and fast and keep a clean jersey, Julio runs a ton of underneath stuff and can beat you just as badly with rac as he can over the top.
I really hope the redskins can start strong, chew up some clock and come away with td's instead of fg's. IF they can do that, I like their chances. Unfortunately recent history against that team suggests otherwise.

I think the Redskins chances are on who plays and how effective the dinged up players are. Last Sunday Culliver was so ineffective I think Amerson could have played better (Did I really say that?). Sometimes a back-up at 100% is better than your starter at 80%. When I said back-up I know Amerson is gone to the Raiders.

Keys to the game are simple. Win the turnover battle and blitz the hell outta Ryan. Cannot give that guy time.

I think this game gets played much like the Giants game, and with the same results. We just don't have the overall talent to beat dynamic receivers.
But if Breeland plays lights out on JJ then maybe the rest can put a solid outing together. Even so, I think we need 28 points minimum to beat them.
Final score
Was 22
Atl 42
Lets move on quickly.

This reminds me i forgot a very important key to the game. Run it down their effing throats like we are trying to hurt them and keep the ball outta their dang hands. [emoji2]

No but u didnt have to reference 2009 to find an exception. You could have referenced week one when we played the Fins. Lol
Obviously we have to not only run but move the chains and score. JC has to be the KC of last week. As in 0 int's!

That game always sticks in my mind. Colts had it for less than 15 minutes, and hey ran 35 plays to 84 for the Dolphins. and still won 27 - 23. It was a crazy game.
