Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

I'll even correct myself....I thought I heard someone say Arizona had the best offense. However looking at NFL.COM Arizona is not even on any of the boards as far as top passing, or rushing. So I apologize. Perhaps they were refering to last yr.

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

Lots of points in this one. Cowboys win the game. Redskins cover. The total goes OVER.

Score: Cowboys 34 - Skins 27

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

Skins Will Win 28-21

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

The Redskins Will Win 31 - 17. I Hate The Freaking Cowgirls. Everybody Talks About How Great They Are. I Think It Was The Mid 90's During The Cowgirls Glorydays. During The 1995 Season, Yes; The Cowgirls Did Win The Super Bowl, But The Redskins Beat Them Twice And Everyone Said The Redskins Had No Chance. I Was Born A Redskins Fan And Will Die One And I Will Never Pick Against The Redskins!

[quote=firstdown;481027]Wow, 28 people who come to this sight and talk skins football could bring themself to pick the Cowboys. Ok, maybe its a little less because we do have a few fans from other teams. I couldn't pick the Cowboys even if our entire line of starters where out due to injury. How do you talk smack while picking the other team to win?[/quote]

So let's change the Poll to "Who will win Redskins or Redskins" or change the question to "Do you want the Redskins to win" I am sure everyone (well except the obvious) would choose yes than.
Predicting a Skins loss is not the end of being a fan, it's just gut-wrenching.

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

I think this will be the last week of the prediction poll. I'm tired of hearing the homer/objective/hater debate each week. Anyone else agree?

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

Agreed. Sunday can't get here soon enough.

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

i like the prediction thread and im not just saying that because i was right last week. yeah discussions on here can get alil reptitive and cyclical but if thats what people want to talk about so be it.

by friday everything that needed to be said was said by wednesday so at this time in the week every thread is beating a dead horse waiting till the next game is played to start a whole new series of threads that will turn into a beaten dead horse by friday.

rinse, wash repeat.

f' this im leaving work early, boss is gone, talk with ya'll on monday.

go skins!!!

Have to agree Matty. I hate dem Boys, but IMHO I see a close Boy win over us. That doesn't mean I don't love my Skins, just not sure they are going to win as some other folks. And those other folks get nailed if their prediction is for a Skins romp, equally bad. To me the winner is going to be the team that really gets the running game going and we let James run crazy last weekend.

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

[quote=Buster;481235]Sure sure. This is DALLAS WEEK. If you can't get excited and have faith that we'll beat them, Chief Zee should whack you with his hatchet.

Being a Redskins fan means HATING DALLAS. Sorry if you missed the memo.

This week is about passion for the Redskins, not looking at polls and articles and making an "informed" pick about the outcome. This matchup always throws all stats and records out the window when it happens. We beat them when they're proclaimed better and it's happened to us too, remember who the 1-15 Dallas team had their only win against? 19 years later and that one still hurts.

It's Redskins or nothing this week (if you're a real fan).[/quote]

This is a pathetic post. Did I ever say I didn't hate Dallas? If I don't have belief that we'll beat Dallas no matter what then I'm not a "real fan?" :doh:Sigh. And here I thought this website for "knowledgeable" fans. Oh well. I guess a few slip through the cracks.

This thread is about making informed picks about the outcome of our games. I'm pretty darn sure that was Matty's intention when he began these weekly threads week 1. The purpose wasn't for the entire site to pick the Skins regardless of the opponent.

This is a "predict the winner and why" thread. Not a "who do you want to win" thread.

Funny how those of us "traitors" who have a far more developed sense of football [U]reality[/U] than you and the other blind homers are in your eyes not [U]"real"[/U] fans. I find that ironic and funny.

I think it's unfortunate we have to end a long-term tradition because of the Busters of the world. I can't bring myself to pick against the Redskins personally (even though I can't outline all the reasons they could lose), but there's nothing to gain from saying "oh you're not a real fan because you picked the 3-0 Cowboys to win at home"

I say reconsider keeping the poll going and tell Buster (and those of his ilk) not to bother responding in the thread if all they're going to do is say "you're a traitor and not a real fan" and if he can't do that, just ban him. Enough of this shit. Why should the rest of us have to suffer so he can have his fun. He's not more important than the value this thread can bring to the site each game week.

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

I just started, and did get caught up in it. But I really like it, because it lets you know what the feel of the fans really is. if this poll had Cowboys at 60-70, then you know there are some issues, but its good to see how see how strong the consensus is.

I agree. Funny how I've been a member of this site for over 2 years, have put time into nearly 3,000 posts, yet I'm not a "real" fan. That type of ignorance bogs this great forum down.

Your last sentence is really the crux of the whole thing. These prediction threads during the regular season not only offer a poll, but are amongst the most posted on threads in this place. They add a ton, and two or three people throwing around their "traitor" comments are better off elsewhere.

Here's to the good of the site, not the dumb opinions of the few.

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

At Dallas, arguably the best team in the NFL. I think we keep it a respectable game, but not sure if we can do it.

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

Remember that Romo usually doesn't see coverage as good as we have. Dallas knows they can beat us if they run the ball at us, but if they come out and try to throw early, I think it could work in our favor.

Thanks to halftime adjustments, no scheme is going to be strong enough to hold them off the whole game, but if we can just make they play from behind, we really do have a chance to win. If we ever get behind by more than a Touchdown, we will probably be out of it.

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

I say Jason Campbell stays hot, portis has a good game and we win in a close and physical game 31-28

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

This game could go all the way to the wire and end in a 1-3 point spread.

Or it could be over by halftime with the home team up by 30.

Neither scenario would surprise me actually.

I agree. For what it's worth, I'm one of those "traitors" this week. Of course, the likelihood of going 19-0 is slim (though I hope and cheer for it). I don't like the score only posts but rather a few reasons why or what people think needs to happen for their prediction to come true.

EX. Skins win 24-20 if we can force at least two TO's or I think Pokes win a close one unless the front four can get pressure and disrupt Barber before he gets out of the backfield.

Of course, that's just my personal preference.

Given the way Arizona and New York ran all over us, I expect to see heavy doses of Marion Barber early and often, with some deep posts (exploiting Doughty) to TO thrown in the mix.

Barber and Jones could be a killer combination. I just don't see us being able to handle their running game without letting TO loose a few times to potentially burn us. I did not like how we let Edgerrin James run all over us. I just see Dallas as just too balanced offensively for us to handle.

[quote=Angry;480700]Dallas is going to destroy us. They are the best;we are the worst. We cannot compare our 2 probowlers to their 13 or whatever. We shouldn't even show up for the game, just chalk up a loss and focus on our next opponent.

I like the way you think... I was going to come and say something a little better I think the Skins will score a little more than 3.

Wow... my first post on the enemy's site this is fun...

I have only been here once and this is the only thread I have read but so far it seems like there are a bunch of classy guys here, was surprised really, but I have been a Cowboys fan for 30 years and have meet some really crazy fans.

BTW... is this the official forum or one of the best??? I want to make sure I'm with the best since that is what I usually post with on the "Cowboys-forum".

Re: Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys
 

[quote=HAILItsGAMEDAY;480441]Rain check on my prediction. We need to dominate all 4 quarters of football. No team has yet to do that to the cowboys this season. Time of possession and no turnovers is key in this game. Blache needs to brew up the greatest defensive game plan ever for us to win this game. And our Offense needs to play a turnover free game. Romo must eat turf early and often. I'm to superstitious to make a prediction this week.[/quote] Dallas has yet to play 4qtrs also. That's the only way they will win this game. If they play mistake free football, I'll say the score will be............Cowboys 31 - Redskins 17.

Now if Dallas keeps getting those stupid, bonehead penalties and if they don't protect the ball, like they are capable of doing, then who knows.
