SUNRA 09-18-2005, 02:02 AM How do you figure? I was born in this area, but at an early stage in life my father decided that our family needed to go back to his roots and move to Maine. As a consequnce I became a big Red Sox fan, and even after moving back to the DC area have remained a Red Sox fan since DC did not have a baseball team in 1981 when we moved back.
I can tell you right now that I always have a sense of dread and apprehension when the Red Sox play the Yankees, and will often predict the Yankees to beat the Red Sox, it does not by any stretch of the imagination make me less of a Red Sox fan. I can tell you right now, when the Sox were down three games to none in the ALCS last year that I was not real confident with there chances especially after the Yankees won 19-8 in the second Boston Massacare. When the Sox won game four my feeling was, well at least they are putting up a fight and will not get swept, I did not like there chance until they won the fifth game, and even then I was pessimistic until the last game and Johnny Damon hit the grand slam.
When someone claims to believe in their team and then predicts that teams defeat against their rivals is beyond comprehension. All the years that Boston loss, some peple never counted Boston out. It takes a bold person to route for your team inspite of the rival.

Dallas 10
And we thought our QB problems are big look for the Cowboys to see this light!!!!
RedskinPete 09-18-2005, 02:53 AM whats up Blue Star here checking in from cowboysboard.com
Theres nothing with being honest with yourself. When the cowboys played the eagles monday night last season I knew they were gonna get killed and they did.
Final Cowboys 31 Skins 10
What drugs are you on???? :vomit-smi You might be right that the Cowgirls might win but 31 points no way! :lol:

RedskinPete 09-18-2005, 02:56 AM I think what a lot of people are overlooking is the fact Williams coached Bledsoe for two years in Buffalo, so it's the old story of pupil vs. teacher (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/16/AR2005091601697.html).
This could definitely be a big advantage for our D.
Anyone who thinks Bledsoe is going to have a repeat performance of his week 1 showing is sadly mistaken in my opinion.
I was kind of hopping Arrington might end Bledsoe NFL days!!! :food-smil
offiss 09-18-2005, 03:16 AM My thought is Dallas 24 skin's 13
But this is a game we could actually win, I call it a culmination game, and that means everything that went on this week will culminate in a victory, the tension and controversy could serve to really focus us and some how squeek out a victory. I have a feeling we may score a couple of defensive TD's this game, Bledsoe is just the man for that.
Beemnseven 09-18-2005, 11:17 AM There is no logic with your prediction. If we have a better defense than the Chargers, how can you predict Dallas scoring one less point than they did against the Chargers? That's crazy.
Because a better defense usually indicates the possibility that the opposing team won't score as many points. How is that illogical?
Also notice Sunra, that I didn't include how I thought the points would come. One of them might be kick or punt return. Another could be from a defensive touchdown off a fumble or interception.
BleedBurgundy 09-18-2005, 12:04 PM 24-13, Cowboys. I hope I'm wrong and Brunell throws for 350 yards and 4 touchdowns. We'll see...
SUNRA 09-18-2005, 12:05 PM Sadly, Beemnseven, I think you're right on the money. :(
I don't think it will matter whether Ramsey or Brunell is the quarterback in this one. Ramsey would get eaten alive by their blitz, and Brunell's not aggressive enough to punish the Dallas D for clamping down on Portis like a pack of wild dogs.
I also watched the Chargers game last weekend, and Dallas impressed me-- particularly their offense. The Redskins defense is still good, but I don't like the offense's chances against the Dallas D. The offense won't be able to sustain drives or maintain possession long enough to keep the defense fresh, and Parcells will just start wearing them down with the running of Julius Jones.
Of course, the Skins could do the same thing to Bledsoe that the Cowboys would've done to Ramsey: ship him out of the stadium in a body bag. Both QBs are sitting ducks to a blitz-happy defense. If the Redskins decommission Bledsoe, they have a chance. Otherwise, I see Bledsoe making just enough big plays through the air to keep the defense honest and give Jones enough wiggle room on the ground to wear down the defensive front.
This game is in Dallas. It's Parcells knowing every move Gibbs is going to make. It's the recent history of Dallas dominance over Washington. It's the blind referees that always seem to follow Washington around to every crucial matchup. It's the one game that I dread every year, because the next day I inevitably have to face all those pompous, sneering Cowboy fans and hear "how 'bout them Cowboys?" hollered across the office building every time the game is brought up in conversation. It's not going to be any different this year.
Cowboys 27, Redskins 6.
Williams knows Bledsoe which balances the equation. I think this is a game of turnovers. Who is most likely to turn the ball over? I think this game reveals how good our defense really is and the genius of Greg Williams.

I predicted the Redskins to win in a tight game 16-14. Regarding the Yankees and Red Sox, it is a different story, the Redskins don't have things like Bucky "Bleeping" Dent, and Aaron "Bleeping" Boone or the saga of Grady Little "Brain". Only because Kurt Schilling is probably one of the greatest big game pitchers of all time did they win against the Yankees. I remember clashing with you last year on Ramsey/Brunell, I am not going to waste my time this year.
You never backed up your prediction of the Skins putting up 31 points on the Cowboys D. How do you figure that?
SUNRA 09-18-2005, 08:31 PM You got point Blue star and I think we will lose but a little closer than your prediction Dallas 16 Skins 13 in OT.
Well, we haven't seen Brunell in an entire game, so the cloud of scepticism is legitimate. Brunell played a decent game last season against Dallas and definitley looks better than the year before. If he can hold on to the ball and not create turnovers, the Redskins win by their defense alone.
