Why do you think so? I like to hear your explaination for this score. The Redskins' D can handle the Falcons weapon.

Sadly, Zorn's waffling on ARE returning punts dooms MM's chance. Zorn doesn't really seem to have it in him to put a new face in. Pretty hard and fast on the roster. I think, barring Zorn's ouster, the only way MM hits the field is A: playoff elimination; B: injuries. very discouraging.

Re: What do you expect in the Atlanta game
 

When life gives you lemons, squeeze those bitches. I picked up the Falcons D in my fantasy league and intend to play them. Did the same with the Chargers the last 2 weeks as they played the Raiders and Chiefs. Got me big points. You have to treat the Skins the same way for the rest of the season. There is no switch to flip. They will be abysmal on Offense the rest of the way. Reality is a bitch sometimes.

[quote=Longtimefan;620784]No reason for me to expect anything other than MOS. [B]Atlanta's defense is suspect to a degree[/B], but they can score points, something we've had a hard time doing.

Redskins 24
Atlanta 21[/quote]

There isn't a Defense suspect enough for the Skins. They scored 6 points against the 32nd ranked Defense in the league. Somehow they're going to score 21 against the Falcons in Atlanta? They might not score 21 combined over the next 2 games.

when life gives you lemons say fuck the lemons and bail, atl is unbeaten at home and coming off two close losses, they wll be looking for revenge and will hand us or sixth loss of the season

I hate hate hate this cliche. Atlanta is a better team and will probably win because of that. If Atlanta wants a "revenge" then they need to go back in time and beat the Cowboys and Saints. Otherwise is not revenge, they are just desperate because they lost the last two games and as a better team they will take advantage of the situation that they are playing against a lesser team, plain and simple.

Re: What do you expect in the Atlanta game
 

I see Roddy White handing D'Angelo Hall his jock more than once in this game.

Re: What do you expect in the Atlanta game
 

I see us falling behind early by double digits, then failing to catch the Georgian's. A familiar script, indeed.

Re: What do you expect in the Atlanta game
 

Atlanta is the better team. They need to win this game after losing two in a row. They're at home where they usually play well. All signs point to an Atlanta victory.

On the other hand, if the Redskins can't find the motivation to fight for a win in this game I'll be surprised and sorely disappointed.

So, I'm thinking it might be a close, hard-fought game. I'll say Atlanta 20, Redskins 17 in a heartbreaker.

Re: What do you expect in the Atlanta game
 

Skins 10-34 Falcons

Re: What do you expect in the Atlanta game
 

I expect the worst, but hope for the best.

I expect a loss, but hope for a win. Who doesn't?

Re: What do you expect in the Atlanta game
 

This is one of those games that until the end of the year you can't categorize it as an 'upset' if we win. Atlanta is an alright team, but not proven iMO. They may be on a slide to mediocrity after their suprising success last year. I think they're in the middle of the pack of the nfl, which is better than us.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if we beat them. Ryan is good but has thrown a lot of picks lately. Their run game is good, but Blache's D can stuff them. Their D has a good pass rush but not much beyond avg. elsewhere.

the smart choice is still ATl, but it should be competitive. I'm going w/Atl 24 Skins 16.

Re: What do you expect in the Atlanta game
 

If we could score more than 17 once in a while I might give us a chance.

This will be the game. Either with a Defensive TD added, or simply by getting a better effort than the first 6 weeks, I believe we will break the 20 point barrier (24 points). I can't disprove all the skepticism, but I am really hoping that the Skins do on Sunday.

Re: What do you expect in the Atlanta game
 

I'm just curious to see how you all think the Skins will stop: Ryan, White, Jenkins, Turner, Snelling and Gonzalez on offense and keep Abraham, Lofton, Peterson, Biermann and Nicholas off of Campbell over a 60 minute game. I really fell for you all as a franchise.. we were there in 2007 with a 4-12 record so I know what it's like but it's clear that the Falcons have far superior talent on their team this year compared to the Skins.

Falcons 35+
Skins 10

We will stop your offense with a powerful defense made up of solid to very good talent in the likes of Haynesworth, Orakpo, Fletcher, D. Hall, C. Rogers. L. Landry. As for our offense? Well, I see Campbell spending a lot of time on his back.

You will score simply b/c our offense can't stay on the field long enough and will commit at least one back breaking turnover. No way you get 35. You will not break 30. Guarrantee.

The Falcons are not all that and you have the scores backwards. Now fly back to your dirty city.

I guess you missed the final score when the Falcons played a far superior (to the Skins) 49er team.

In the first half I'm sure. I'll give you Fat Albert and Orakpo but Hall is set up to be embarrassed and your other DB's don't match up well against White, Jenkins, Booker and Tony G.

i like matt ryan but he has a ways to go before i would be convinced he and his recieving core are going to put up 30 plus points on the no2 ranked D in passing.

You all haven't played anyone, that's why you're rated so high defensively...don't let early season numbers fool you. You all will be down around 15 or 16 by the end of the season if not worse.

agreed we have played a really light schedule so far (not counting the giants and eagles) but that point must also be weighed against the fact that our O cant sustain drives or win the TOP battle so while they have played poor offensive teams our D has probably played more snaps than most Ds and they are still no. 4 overall and no. 2 in passing.

go skins!!

ps - if fat albert or orakpo or andre carter injure matt ryans knee this game will you still come back here afterwards and rant n bitch how it was a dirty hit that sidelined your whole hawks in '09 campaign?

Again, get back to me on that high ranking after you all play the Cowgirls, the Falcons, Saints and Eagles again..

To address your PS, that's the only hope you have for your team is that they can hurt another player? The testament of sad existence of the Skins fan in 2009. If anyone does manage a dirty hit they'll have to answer to our O-line which is the nastiest group of the players in the NFL.
